Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 66
दुर्विनीतः श्रियं प्राप्य विद्यामैश्वर्यमेव च । न तिष्ठति चिरं युद्धे यथाहं मदगर्वितः
durvinītaḥ śriyaṃ prāpya vidyāmaiśvaryameva ca | na tiṣṭhati ciraṃ yuddhe yathāhaṃ madagarvitaḥ
អ្នកខ្វះវិន័យ ទោះបានសម្បត្តិ វិជ្ជា និងអំណាច ក៏មិនអាចឈរយូរក្នុងសង្គ្រាមបានទេ ដូចខ្ញុំដែលស្រវឹងដោយមោទនភាព។
Viśvāmitra
Scene: Viśvāmitra speaks with sober clarity, gesturing toward himself as an example; Vasiṣṭha listens, embodying composed wisdom; the scene feels like a moral lesson rather than action.
