जगदग्निरुवाच जाजमद्यजजाने5हं जिजाहीह जिजायिषि । जमदग्निरिति ख्यातस्ततो मां विद्धि शोभने,जमदग्निने कहा--कल्याणी! मैं जगत् अर्थात् देवताओंके आहवनीय अग्निसे उत्पन्न हुआ हूँ, इसलिये तुम मुझे जमदग्नि नामसे विख्यात समझो
jagadagnir uvāca | jājām adyajajāne ’haṃ jijāhīha jijāyiṣi | jamadagnir iti khyātas tato māṃ viddhi śobhane ||
Jagadagni said: “Today I have been born from the sacrificial fire of the gods—the āhavanīya fire. Therefore know me, O fair one, as famed by the name Jamadagni.”
विश्वामित्र उवाच
The verse emphasizes dharmic legitimacy through sacred origin: identity and authority are anchored in yajña (sacrifice) and the consecrated āhavanīya fire, suggesting that spiritual stature is tied to ritual purity and divine sanction.
A figure named Jagadagni speaks and declares that he has been born from the gods’ sacrificial fire; on that basis he instructs the addressed woman (‘O fair one’) to recognize him by the renowned name Jamadagni.
