Vyāghra–Gomāyu Saṃvāda (व्याघ्रगोमायु संवाद) — Testing Character Beneath Appearances
शून्यात् तच्च गृहान्मांसं यद्यप्यपहतं तव । नेच्छते दीयमानं च साधु तावद् विमृश्यताम्
śūnyāt tac ca gṛhān māṁsaṁ yady apy apahṛtaṁ tava | necchate dīyamānaṁ ca sādhu tāvad vimṛśyatām ||
毗湿摩说道：“纵然你的空屋中确有肉被盗走，仍有另一事实：有一人即使被奉上，也拒不受肉。因此，在下定论之前，先当细细思量这两点。”

Bhīṣma points out two seemingly conflicting observations—meat is missing from an empty house, yet someone refuses meat even when offered—and urges a careful inquiry that considers both circumstances before deciding what truly happened.
