Nāgendra–Brāhmaṇa Saṃvāda: Praśna-vidhi and Dharmic Approach on the Gomatī Riverbank
यत्र वेदा विनिक्षिप्तास्तत् स्थान शून्यमेव च । इधर वेदध्वनिके स्थानपर आकर मधु और कैटभ दोनों दानवोंने जब कुछ नहीं देखा
yatra vedā vinikṣiptās tat sthānaśūnyam eva ca |
毗舍摩波耶那说：吠陀被掷下之处，竟显得空无一物。魔众摩度与凯多婆在听见吠陀之声的区域四处搜寻而一无所见，便急速返回当初抛掷吠陀的地方；然而再看时，那里同样只剩一片虚空。

Educational Q&A
Sacred knowledge (the Vedas) is not an object to be possessed through violence or pride; when approached with adharma, it eludes grasp, underscoring that dharma and inner fitness—not brute force—govern access to higher truth.
Madhu and Kaiṭabha search for the Vedas by following their perceived sound, but find nothing; they return to the spot where the Vedas were cast down and discover it empty, indicating the Vedas have been removed or concealed beyond their reach.
