Ṛśyaśṛṅga’s Luring, Rainfall at Aṅga, and Reconciliation with Vibhāṇḍaka (ऋश्यशृङ्गोपाख्यानम्)
ततः स कोपेन विदीर्यमाण आशड्कमानो नृपतेर्विधानम् । जगाम चम्पां प्रति धक्ष्यमाण- स्तमड्राजं सपुरं सराष्ट्रम,कोपसे उनका हृदय विदीर्ण-सा होने लगा। उनके मनमें यह संदेह हुआ कि कहीं राजा लोमपादकी तो यह करतूत नहीं है। तब वे चम्पानगरीकी ओर चल दिये, मानो अंगराजको उनके राष्ट्र और नगरसहित जला देना चाहते हों
tataḥ sa kopena vidīryamāṇa āśaṅkamāno nṛpater vidhānam | jagāma campāṃ prati dhakṣyamāṇas tam aṅgarājaṃ sapuraṃ sarāṣṭram ||
于是，他在怒火的重压下仿佛心将裂开，便起疑：莫非此事竟是国王亲自策划？他怒焰炽盛，动身奔向瞻波城（Campā），仿佛要将安伽（Aṅga）之王连同其都城与国土一并焚为灰烬。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical danger of krodha (anger) joined with āśaṅkā (suspicion): even a sage can be pushed toward disproportionate retaliation. It implicitly warns that rulers’ actions (or perceived actions) can provoke social and moral upheaval, and that self-restraint is essential to preserve dharma.
Vibhāṇḍaka, overwhelmed by anger and suspecting the king’s involvement in a wrongdoing, departs for Campā. His fury is described as so intense that he seems ready to burn the Aṅga king along with his city and kingdom.
