तत्राग्निकार्य कृतवान् कुन्तीपुत्रो धनंजय: । अशड्कमानेन हुतस्तेनातुष्यद् हुताशन:,उस समय कदुन्तीपुत्र धनंजयने निर्भक होकर उसी अग्निमें अपना अन्निहोत्रकार्य सम्पन्न किया। इससे अग्निदेव बहुत संतुष्ट हुए
tatrāgnikāryaṃ kṛtavān kuntīputro dhanaṃjayaḥ | aśaṅkamānena hutastena atuṣyad hutāśanaḥ ||
তখন কুন্তীপুত্র ধনঞ্জয় নির্ভয়ে সেই অগ্নিতেই বিধিপূর্বক অগ্নিহোত্র সম্পন্ন করলেন। সেই আহুতিতে হুতাশন অগ্নিদেব অত্যন্ত সন্তুষ্ট হলেন।

The verse highlights niṣkampa-dharma—performing one’s prescribed duty (especially sacred rites) with steadiness and without doubt or fear. Such confident, sincere action is portrayed as ethically and spiritually efficacious, bringing divine approval (Agni’s satisfaction).
Vaiśaṃpāyana narrates that Arjuna (Dhanaṃjaya), son of Kuntī, performs the required fire-rite/oblations at that moment without hesitation. His offering pleases Agni (Hutāśana), indicating a favorable response from the deity to the rite.
