परस्परं व्यलीयंत हाहाकिंभाविवादिनः । तामवस्थां हरिर्दृष्ट्वा देवाञ्छक्रमुवाचह
parasparaṃ vyalīyaṃta hāhākiṃbhāvivādinaḥ | tāmavasthāṃ harirdṛṣṭvā devāñchakramuvācaha
ពួកគេថយក្រោយពីគ្នាទៅវិញទៅមក ដោយស្រែកក្នុងភាពច្របូកច្របល់ថា «អូយ! នឹងកើតអ្វីឡើង?» ហរិឃើញស្ថានភាពនោះ ក៏មានព្រះវាចាទៅកាន់ទេវតា ហើយប្រាប់សក្រក៏ដូចគ្នា។

In crisis, divine guidance restores clarity; dharma advances through counsel and right recourse, not panic.
