Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 69
चिन्तयावश्च मनसि प्रतीकारं मुनेरुभौ । यो हि मानुष्यमासाद्य जलबुद्बुदभंगुरम्
cintayāvaśca manasi pratīkāraṃ munerubhau | yo hi mānuṣyamāsādya jalabudbudabhaṃguram
我ら二人は憂いに迫られ、聖仙の教えに従って、その対処の道を心に思案した。人の命はひとたび得ても、水の泡のごとく脆く、たやすく砕けるからである。
Narrator (deduced, continuing the dialogue episode)
Scene: Two companions pause in contemplation, gazing at rippling water where bubbles form and burst—visual metaphor for fleeting life; their faces show resolve forming out of worry.
