Shloka 25
मज्जूषा त्वश्वनद्या: सा ययौ चर्मण्वतीं नदीम् । चर्मण्वत्याश्व यमुनां ततो गड़ां जगाम ह,वह पिटारी अश्वनदीसे चर्मण्वती (चम्बल) नदीमें गयी। चर्मण्वतीसे यमुनामें और वहाँसे गंगामें जा पहुँची
majjūṣā tv aśvanadyāḥ sā yayau carmaṇvatīṃ nadīm | carmaṇvatyāś ca yamunāṃ tato gaṅgāṃ jagāma ha ||
毗舍摩波耶那说道：那匣子随水势漂流，自阿湿瓦那底河而至车摩那伐底河；由车摩那伐底入阎牟那河，继而抵达恒河。

The verse highlights inevitability and connectedness: actions and circumstances set something in motion, and it is carried onward through larger forces (here symbolized by rivers) toward an outcome. Ethically, it invites reflection on responsibility for what one 'sets afloat' and on the larger order that conveys consequences to their destination.
A casket is being borne downstream. It moves sequentially from the Aśvanadī into the Carmaṇvatī, then into the Yamunā, and finally reaches the Gaṅgā—marking its progress through major river systems toward where it will be found or become significant.
