द्रौपदी–सत्यभामा संवादः
Draupadī and Satyabhāmā on ethical household conduct
इन्द्रसहित जिनके लिये आग्रयण (नूतन अद्नद्वारा सम्पन्न होनेवाले यज्ञ) कर्ममें हविष्य- अर्पणका विधान है, वे “आग्रयण' नामक अग्नि भानुके ही (चौथे) पुत्र हैं ।।
cāturmāsyeṣu nityānāṁ haviṣāṁ yonir agrahaḥ | caturbhiḥ sahitaḥ putrair bhānor evānvayaḥ stubhaḥ ||
Mārkaṇḍeya dit : «Dans les sacrifices Cāturmāsya, les oblations prescrites comme permanentes (nitya) ont une source appelée Agraha. Et Stubha aussi relève de la lignée de Bhānu : avec les quatre fils déjà mentionnés, Agraha et Stubha sont comptés parmi sa descendance.»
मार्कण्डेय उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse underscores that Vedic sacrificial duties (nitya-havis in Cāturmāsya rites) are grounded in an ordered, named structure—Agraha as the ‘source’ of oblations—and that ritual elements are classified through traditional genealogies (Bhānu’s lineage). This frames ritual observance as a disciplined expression of dharma sustaining order.
Mārkaṇḍeya is explaining a ritual-cosmological genealogy: Agraha is identified as the origin/source connected with the obligatory oblations in Cāturmāsya sacrifices, and Stubha is also placed in Bhānu’s lineage. Along with four earlier sons, these are counted among Bhānu’s offspring.
