Shloka 13
सम्प्राप्तस्यैव चाव्यग्रमावेद्योडहमिहागत: । ममाभिगमन प्राप्तो वाच्यक्ष वचन त्वया
samprāptasyaiva cāvyagram āvedyodham ihāgataḥ | mamābhigamana-prāpto vācyakṣa vacanaṃ tvayā || tataḥ sa vipras tāṃ nāgīṃ samādhāya punaḥ punaḥ | tadeva pulinaṃ nadyāḥ prayayau brāhmaṇarṣabhaḥ ||
婆罗门说道：“我心无扰动而来，已如实禀告此事。既然你前来相见，就请代我传达这番话。”随后，那位最卓越的婆罗门一再叮嘱并安抚那位龙女（那伽之妻），又回到原先的河岸，沿着河边沙洲而行。

Educational Q&A
The passage highlights steadiness of mind (avyagra) and responsible speech: one should convey a message faithfully and act with composure and care, even amid morally complex situations involving others’ welfare.
A brāhmaṇa, calm and composed, asks someone to relay his words. After repeatedly reassuring/instructing the nāga-woman, he departs again toward the river’s sandy bank, continuing his course of action.
