Bhaṅgāśvanopākhyāna — On comparative affection in strī–puruṣa union (भङ्गाश्वनोपाख्यानम्)
यूयं भड्भास्वनापत्यास्तापसस्येतरे सुता: । कश्यपस्य सुराश्चैव असुराश्च सुतास्तथा
yūyaṁ bhaḍbhāsvanāpatyās tāpasasyetare sutāḥ | kaśyapasya surāś caiva asurāś ca sutās tathā ||
毗湿摩说道：“你们是婆陀婆娑婆（Bhaḍbhāsva）之子，而其余诸兄弟却是苦行仙人之子。出身既如此不同，你们之间的情爱又怎能长久稳固？即便诸天与阿修罗皆为迦叶波之子，彼此之间也难生爱与和合。”

Educational Q&A
Shared birth or kinship alone does not guarantee affection; differences of origin, disposition, and values can fracture unity. Bhishma underscores that harmony requires cultivated dharma and mutual restraint, not merely a common family label.
Bhishma addresses a group of brothers, pointing out that they have different parentage (some sons of Bhaḍbhāsva, others of an ascetic). He uses the cosmic example of the Devas and Asuras—both born of Kaśyapa—to show that even close kin can become enemies, explaining why love may not naturally persist among them.
