Udyoga-parva 10
संक्षोभश्नापि सत्त्चानामनावृष्टिकृतो5भवत् । देवाश्षापि भशं त्रस्तास्तथा सर्वे महर्षय:,सब जीवोंमें अनावृष्टिके कारण क्षोभ उत्पन्न हो गया। देवता तथा सम्पूर्ण महर्षि भी अत्यन्त भयभीत हो गये
saṃkṣobho ’pi sattvānām anāvṛṣṭi-kṛto ’bhavat | devāś cāpi bhṛśaṃ trastās tathā sarve maharṣayaḥ ||
ເນື່ອງຈາກຝົນບໍ່ຕົກ ຄວາມວຸ້ນວາຍກໍເກີດຂຶ້ນໃນສັດມີຊີວິດທັງປວງ. ແມ່ນແຕ່ເທວະດາ ແລະ ມະຫາລິສີທັງຫມົດ ກໍຫວາດຫວັນຢ່າງຫນັກ.
