Agni’s Withdrawal to the Forest and Identification with Āṅgirasa (अग्न्याङ्गिरस-इतिहासः)
य: क्रोधमोहौ त्यजति त॑ देवा ब्राह्मणं विदु: । यो वदेदिह सत्यानि गुरु संतोषयेत च
yaḥ krodha-mohau tyajati taṃ devā brāhmaṇaṃ viduḥ | yo vaded iha satyāni guruṃ santoṣayet ca ||
قال البراهمن: «مَن يطرح الغضبَ والوهمَ، فإن الآلهةَ أنفسَهم يعرفونه براهمنًا حقًّا. ومَن يقول في هذه الدنيا الصدقَ ويُرضي معلّمَه أيضًا—فذلك السلوكُ هو معلمُ طريقِ الدَّرْما.»

Educational Q&A
True brahminical worth is defined by inner discipline and ethical speech: abandoning anger and delusion, speaking truth, and honoring the teacher by conduct that brings him satisfaction.
A Brahmin speaker is instructing on dharma by listing virtues that identify a genuine brāhmaṇa—self-mastery over anger and delusion, commitment to truth, and proper regard for one’s guru.
