Draupadī’s Instruction on Marital Conduct and Household Discipline (चित्तग्रहण-उपदेश)

इत्येष वंश: सुमहानग्नीनां कीर्तितो मया । योडर्चितो विविधैर्मन्त्रैहव्यं वहति देहिनाम्‌

ity eṣa vaṁśaḥ sumahān agnīnāṁ kīrtito mayā | yo 'rcito vividhair mantrair havyaṁ vahati dehinām ||

આ રીતે અગ્નિદેવોના અતિ મહાન વંશનું મેં વર્ણન કર્યું. વિવિધ મંત્રોથી પૂજિત થઈને તે ભગવાન અગ્નિ દેહધારીઓએ અર્પિત કરેલું હવિષ્ય વહન કરીને દેવતાઓ સુધી પહોંચાડે છે.

Educational Q&A

Ritual action becomes effective when aligned with dharma and performed with mantra and reverence: Agni, duly worshipped, functions as the sacred mediator who transmits human offerings to the divine realm, sustaining the ordered relationship between humans and gods.

Mārkaṇḍeya concludes a genealogical account of the Fire-gods, affirming Agni’s established role in sacrifice: when invoked and honored through diverse mantras, Agni carries the offered havis from embodied beings to the gods.
