इत्यंधकवचः श्रुत्वा स्थिरधीर्भार्गवोमुनिः । किंचित्स्मितं तदा कृत्वा दानवाधिपमब्रवीत्
ityaṃdhakavacaḥ śrutvā sthiradhīrbhārgavomuniḥ | kiṃcitsmitaṃ tadā kṛtvā dānavādhipamabravīt
اندھک کے یہ کلمات سن کر، ثابت قدم ذہن والے بھارگو مُنی نے ہلکی سی مسکراہٹ کی اور پھر دانوؤں کے سردار سے مخاطب ہوا۔

True mastery is marked by steadiness and restraint; the sage responds with composure rather than agitation.
