सगरयज्ञाश्वहरणम्
The Stolen Sacrificial Horse of Sagara
तयोर्मध्ये प्रवृत्तोऽभूद्यज्ञ स्सपुरुषोत्तम।स हि देशो नरव्याघ्र प्रशस्तो यज्ञकर्मणि।।1.39.5।।
tayor madhye pravṛtto 'bhūd yajñaḥ sa puruṣottama |
sa hi deśo naravyāghra praśasto yajñakarmaṇi || 1.39.5 ||
એ બંને પર્વતોની વચ્ચે, હે પુરુષોત્તમ, યજ્ઞ આરંભ થયો; હે નરવ્યાઘ્ર, તે પ્રદેશ યજ્ઞકર્મ માટે અત્યંત પ્રશસ્ત હતો.
Then the gods together with the gandharvas, asuras and serpents in bewildered minds approached Lord Brahma.
Dharma includes performing yajña in a proper place and manner—right action depends on right context, discipline, and adherence to sacred procedure.
Viśvāmitra specifies where Sagara’s sacrifice took place: in the region between Himavān and Vindhya, considered auspicious for ritual.
Ritual conscientiousness: choosing an appropriate site reflects care for correctness (śuddhi) and truthfulness to prescribed duty.
