Vasiṣṭhasya śokaḥ, Vipāśā–Śatadrū-nāmākaraṇam, Kalmāṣapādasya bhaya-prasaṅgaḥ (Ādi Parva 167)
ब्राह्मण उवाच एवमुक््त्वा तु याजेन हुते हविषि संस्कृते । उत्तस्थौ पावकात् तस्मात् कुमारो देवसंनिभ:,ब्राह्मण कहता है--यों कहकर याजने उस संस्कारयुक्त हविष्यकी आहुति ज्यों ही अग्निमें डाली, त्यों ही उस अग्निसे देवताके समान तेजस्वी एक कुमार प्रकट हुआ
brāhmaṇa uvāca | evam uktvā tu yājena hute haviṣi saṁskṛte | uttasthau pāvakāt tasmāt kumāro devasaṁnibhaḥ ||
ব্ৰাহ্মণে ক’লে— “এইদৰে কৈ যাজে সংস্কাৰযুক্ত হব্য অগ্নিত আহুতি দিতেই, সেই পাৱকৰ পৰা দেৱসদৃশ তেজস্বী এক কুমাৰ উদ্ভৱ হ’ল।”

The verse underscores the dharmic idea that properly performed, consecrated ritual action (saṁskṛta-havis in yajña) can become a channel for auspicious, even extraordinary outcomes—here symbolized by a divine-like manifestation from the fire.
After the Brāhmaṇa’s words, Yāja makes an offering of the prepared oblation into the fire; immediately, a radiant boy, godlike in appearance, emerges from the flames.
