वैशम्पायन उवाच इत्येवं मन्त्रमाग्नेयं पठन् यो जुहुयाद विभुम् । ऋद्धिमान् सततं दान्त: सर्वपापै: प्रमुच्यते
vaiśampāyana uvāca | ityevaṁ mantram āgneyam paṭhan yo juhuyād vibhum | ṛddhimān satataṁ dāntaḥ sarvapāpaiḥ pramucyate ||
Vaiśampāyana said: “Thus, whoever recites this Agni-related mantra and, while reciting, offers oblations with the utterance of ‘svāhā’ to the mighty Lord Agni, becomes continually prosperous, self-restrained, and is released from all sins.”
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Ritual action joined with correct recitation and disciplined conduct is presented as a dharmic means to purification: offering oblations to Agni with the proper mantra leads to prosperity, self-mastery, and release from sin.
In Vaiśampāyana’s discourse (addressed to Janamejaya in the broader frame), he concludes a description of an Agni-related mantra by stating the फलश्रुति (promised result): the performer who recites it and makes the fire-offering to Agni attains prosperity and freedom from wrongdoing.
