Mbh.1.29.1700 | After some time his brother Vibhavasu told Supritika, It is from great foolishness that persons blinded by love of wealth always desire to make a partition of their patrimony. |
Mbh.1.29.1705 | But as thou, Supritika, without regarding my advice impelled by desire of separation, always wishest to make an arrangement about your property, thou shall become an elephant' |
Mbh.1.29.1706 | Supritika, thus cursed, then spake unto Vibhavasu, Thou also shall become a tortoise moving in the midst of the waters' |
Mbh.1.29.1707 | And thus on account of wealth those two fools, Supritika and Vibhavasu, from each other's curse, have become an elephant and a tortoise respectively. |
