Shloka 67
Jarītā–Śārṅgā-saṃvāda: Ākhu-haraṇa and the Approach of Agni (आखुहरणं अग्न्यागमनश्च)
ततो भगवतो वहनेविंकार: समजायत । तेजसा विप्रहीणश्च ग्लानिश्वैन॑ समाविशत्,तब भगवान् अग्निदेवके उदरमें विकार हो गया। वे तेजसे हीन हो ग्लानिको प्राप्त होने लगे
tato bhagavato vahnervikāraḥ samajāyata | tejasā viprahīṇaś ca glāniś cainaṃ samāviśat ||
قال فايشَمبايانا: عندئذٍ نشأ اضطرابٌ في إله النار نفسه. وقد حُرم من بهائه فغلبه الإعياء والانحلال—دلالةً على أن حتى قوةً كونية، إذا حُمِّلت فوق الطاقة، قد تضعف وتحتاج إلى استعادةٍ بوسائل مشروعة.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights that even great power (tejas) can diminish under strain; ethical action (dharma) includes recognizing decline and seeking proper restoration rather than forcing continued exertion beyond capacity.
The narrator states that Agni (Vahni) undergoes a bodily disturbance; his radiance wanes and exhaustion overtakes him, marking a turning point where the Fire-god is no longer able to function with his usual vigor.
