Offerings for Ancestors and Their Stated Results

जगामेष्टं ततो देशं तदा भार्गवनन्दन । भार्गवनन्दन! ऐसा कहकर देवी गंगा वहीं अन्तर्धान हो गयीं और तेजस्वी अग्निदेव देवताओंका कार्य सिद्ध करके उस समय वहाँसे अभीष्ट देशको चले गये ।।

jagāmeṣṭaṃ tato deśaṃ tadā bhārgavanandana | etaiḥ karmaguṇaiḥ loke nāmāgneḥ parigīyate ||

قال بهيشما: «ثم، يا بهجة سلالة بهارغافا، مضى إلى الإقليم الذي يبتغيه. وبعد أن قالت غنغا الإلهة ذلك، توارت في المكان نفسه؛ وأما الإله أغني المتلألئ، فلما أتمّ مقصد الآلهة بنجاح، غادر من هناك في تلك الساعة إلى وجهته التي اختارها. وبمثل هذه الأعمال والفضائل يُشاد باسم أغني في العالم.»

Educational Q&A

Renown is grounded in karma-guṇa—virtues proven by effective, duty-aligned action. Agni is praised not merely for status but for accomplishing the gods’ task, showing that ethical worth is demonstrated through fulfilled responsibility.

After speaking, Gaṅgā vanishes (antardhāna), and Agni, having completed the gods’ work, departs for his desired destination. Bhīṣma concludes by noting that Agni’s fame in the world arises from such deeds and qualities.
