त्रिशङ्कुस्वर्गारोহণम्

Trishanku’s Bodily Ascent and the New Constellations

तस्मात्प्रवर्त्यतां यज्ञ स्सशरीरो यथा दिवम्।गच्छेदिक्ष्वाकुदायादो विश्वामित्रस्य तेजसा।।।।तथा प्रवर्त्यतां यज्ञ स्सर्वे समधितिष्ठत।

tasmāt pravartyatāṃ yajñaḥ saśarīro yathā divam | gacched ikṣvākudāyādo viśvāmitrasya tejasā || tathā pravartyatāṃ yajñaḥ sarve samadhitiṣṭhata |

অতএব যজ্ঞ এমনভাবে প্রবর্তিত হোক, যাতে ইক্ষ্বাকুবংশজাত রাজা বিশ্বামিত্রের তেজে স্বশরীরে স্বর্গে গমন করতে পারেন। সুতরাং যজ্ঞ শুরু হোক—আপনারা সকলেই নিজ নিজ স্থানে অধিষ্ঠিত হোন।

FAQs

Dharma is framed as faithful execution of a solemn rite and honoring the declared intention—action aligned with word, and word aligned with spiritual responsibility.

The sages instruct that the sacrifice be performed so Triśaṅku can attain heaven bodily through Viśvāmitra’s power, and they call everyone to commence the ritual.

Collective duty (kartavya) and disciplined cooperation in carrying out a sacred undertaking.
