Episode of Vena: The Power of Association and Revā (Narmadā) Tīrtha
युध्यमानौ ततस्तौ तु द्वावेतौ तु परस्परम् । क्रोधलोभान्महाभागौ पतितौ विमले जले
yudhyamānau tatastau tu dvāvetau tu parasparam | krodhalobhānmahābhāgau patitau vimale jale
ແລ້ວຄົນທັງສອງນັ້ນກໍຕໍ່ສູ້ກັນເອງ; ເນື່ອງຈາກໂກດແລະໂລບ ແມ່ນແຕ່ເປັນຜູ້ມີວາສນາ ກໍຕົກລົງໃນນ້ຳອັນໃສບໍລິສຸດ.
