राक्षसो वा पिशाचो वा भूतो वा मानुषोऽपि वा । एतत्कृत्यतमं नागा मम यज्ञस्य रक्षणम्
rākṣaso vā piśāco vā bhūto vā mānuṣo'pi vā | etatkṛtyatamaṃ nāgā mama yajñasya rakṣaṇam
રાક્ષસ હોય, પિશાચ હોય, ભૂત હોય કે મનુષ્ય પણ હોય—હે નાગો, મારા યજ્ઞનું રક્ષણ કરવું એ જ તમારું પરમ કર્તવ્ય છે.
Brahmā (contextual continuation)
Tirtha: Nāgatīrtha (contextual)
Type: tirtha
Listener: Nāgas
Scene: A protective panorama: Nāga guardians stand ready against a spectrum of potential disruptors—demonic, spectral, and human—while the yajña fire burns steadily at center.
Spiritual practice must be defended against both seen and unseen disruptive forces; duty (kṛtya) is prioritized over fear.
Nāgatīrtha, as the seat of the yajña and its protective sanctity.
To protect the yajña from any obstructer, regardless of their nature.
