अग्निर्मुखं यस्य तु जातवेदा जात: क्रियाकाण्डनिमित्तजन्मा । अन्त:समुद्रेऽनुपचन्स्वधातून् प्रसीदतां न: स महाविभूति: ॥ ३५ ॥
agnir mukhaṁ yasya tu jāta-vedā jātaḥ kriyā-kāṇḍa-nimitta-janmā antaḥ-samudre ’nupacan sva-dhātūn prasīdatāṁ naḥ sa mahā-vibhūtiḥ
যজ্ঞত আহুতি গ্ৰহণৰ বাবে জন্ম লোৱা জাতবেদা অগ্নি ভগৱানৰ মুখ। সেই অগ্নিয়ে সাগৰৰ গভীৰতাত ধন উৎপন্ন কৰে আৰু উদৰত জীৰ্ণাগ্নি হৈ আহাৰ পচাই দেহধাৰণৰ বাবে ৰসাদি সৃষ্টি কৰে। সেই মহাবিভূতি পৰমেশ্বৰ আমাৰ ওপৰত প্ৰসন্ন হওক।
FAQs
This verse describes Agni (Jātavedā) as the Lord’s “mouth,” indicating that sacrificial offerings and ritual fire function as a divine channel under the Supreme’s control.
In their prayers, the devas acknowledge that even ritual systems and their presiding powers arise from and operate by the Supreme Lord, so they seek His favor rather than relying on their own strength.
It teaches reverence for sacred discipline while remembering the ultimate source—offer all actions as service to the Supreme, recognizing that nature and its powers work under His energy.
