Shloka 41
ततः प्रहस्य तद् भूतं तत्रैवान्तरधीयत । सह स्त्रीभिर्महाराज पश्यतो मे<द्भधुतोपमम्,पहले मुक्कों और थप्पड़ोंसे मैंने उससे टक्कर लेनेकी चेष्टाकी, परंतु उसपर मेरा कोई वश नहीं चला और मैं निश्वेष्ट होकर पृथ्वीपर गिर पड़ा। महाराज! तब वह अलौकिक प्राणी हँसकर मेरे देखते-देखते स्त्रियोंसहित वहीं अन्तर्धान हो गया
tataḥ prahasya tad bhūtaṃ tatraivāntaradhīyata | saha strībhiḥ mahārāja paśyato me adbhutopamam ||
Then that uncanny being laughed and, even as I watched, vanished on the very spot—together with the women, O great king. The episode underscores a moral limit: sheer physical force and anger cannot master what is beyond ordinary human power, and one must recognize the boundaries of one’s agency with humility and restraint.
