Kashyapa narrates the origin of the fighting elephant and tortoise

Kashyapa tells his son a story of two brothers, Vibhavasu and Supratika, whose quarrel over dividing their wealth ended in mutual curses. Transformed into an elephant and a tortoise, their ancient enmity now plays out in a lake, where they fight endlessly.
