वनेचरोऽथ तत्स्थानं दैवाद्विस्मृतवान्मुने । दिग्भ्रांतिं समवाप्याथ परिबभ्राम कानने
vanecaro'tha tatsthānaṃ daivādvismṛtavānmune | digbhrāṃtiṃ samavāpyātha paribabhrāma kānane
បន្ទាប់មក អ្នករស់នៅព្រៃនោះ ឱ មុនី ដោយអំណាចវាសនា បានភ្លេចទីកន្លែងនោះ។ ពេលច្រឡំទិសច្រឡំផ្លូវ គាត់បានវង្វេងដើរនៅក្នុងព្រៃធំ។

Scene: A lone forest-dweller/pilgrim stands amid dense woodland, looking around in confusion as paths fork and fade; light shafts filter through trees, suggesting fate’s veil over memory.
When fate (daiva) turns adverse, the mind loses clarity; dharma requires steadiness amid confusion.
Not specified in this verse; it functions as plot movement within the Kāśī Khaṇḍa.
