Adhyaya 16 — The Son’s Counsel on Renunciation and the Anasuya–Mandavya Episode: The Suspension of Sunrise and the Power of Pativrata
निष्पादितास्वोषधीषु मर्त्या यज्ञैर्यजन्ति नः ।
तेषां वयं प्रयच्छामः कामान् यज्ञादिपूजिताः ॥
niṣpāditāsv oṣadhīṣu martyā yajñair yajanti naḥ |
teṣāṃ vayaṃ prayacchāmaḥ kāmān yajñādipūjitāḥ ||
જ્યારે ઔષધિઓ અને ઉપજ પ્રગટ થાય છે, ત્યારે મર્ત્યો યજ્ઞોથી અમારી પૂજા કરે છે; અને યજ્ઞાદિથી સન્માનિત થઈ અમે તેમને ઇચ્છિત ફળ આપીએ છીએ।

Prosperity is not portrayed as isolated human achievement: it culminates in worship and ethical redistribution (dāna/offerings). When humans remember the divine link in their harvest, their desires are fulfilled in a regulated, dharmic manner.
Dharma/ācāra instruction embedded in Purāṇic discourse; it supports the ‘maintenance’ dimension that underlies Sarga/Pratisarga narratives.
Vegetation (oṣadhi) signifies the fruition of prior causes; yajña signifies conscious return of fruits to their source. Fulfillment of kāma is legitimate when routed through yajña—desire aligned with offering.
