द्रौपदी–सत्यभामा संवादः
Draupadī and Satyabhāmā on ethical household conduct
दर्शे च पौर्णमासे च यस्येह हविरुच्यते । विष्णु्नामेह यो<ग्निस्तु धृतिमान्नाम सोडज्लिरा:
darśe ca paurṇamāse ca yasyeha havir ucyate | viṣṇur nāmeha yo 'gnis tu dhṛtimān nāma so 'ṅgirāḥ ||
যে অগ্নির উদ্দেশ্যে এই জগতে দর্শ ও পৌর্ণমাস যজ্ঞে হবি অর্পণের বিধান আছে, তিনি এখানে ‘বিষ্ণু’ নামে প্রসিদ্ধ। তিনি অঙ্গিরা-গোত্রীয় বলে গণ্য এবং ‘ধৃতিমান্’ নামেও অভিহিত।

The verse underscores Vedic dharma as sustained through regular, time-bound rites (new-moon and full-moon sacrifices). It highlights that ritual fire is not merely physical but a sanctified entity with specific names and lineage, emphasizing precision, continuity, and reverence in religious duty.
Mārkaṇḍeya identifies a particular sacrificial fire associated with the Darśa and Paurṇamāsa rites, stating its name as ‘Viṣṇu,’ noting its Aṅgiras affiliation, and giving its alternate name ‘Dhṛtimān.’
