Agni’s Curse and the Restoration of Ritual Order
दिवि देवा मुमुदिरे भूतसड्घाश्व॒ लौकिका: । अन्निश्च परमां प्रीतिमवाप हतकल्मष:,देवतालोग स्वर्गलोकमें आनन्दित हो गये और इस लोकके समस्त प्राणी भी बड़े प्रसन्न हुए। साथ ही शापजनित पाप कट जानेसे अग्निदेवको भी बड़ी प्रसन्नता हुई
divi devā mumudire bhūtasaṅghāś ca laukikāḥ | agniś ca paramāṃ prītim avāpa hatakalmaṣaḥ ||
Śaunaka said: In heaven the gods rejoiced, and the hosts of beings in this world also became glad. And Agni, his defilement caused by the curse now removed, attained supreme delight.

When impurity born of wrongdoing or a curse is removed, harmony is restored: joy spreads from the individual (Agni) to the gods and to beings in the world, reflecting the Mahābhārata’s vision of a morally structured cosmos.
Śaunaka reports a moment of universal rejoicing: the gods in heaven and beings on earth become pleased, and Agni experiences great happiness because the taint associated with a curse has been destroyed.
