Incense, Lamp, and Bali Offerings; the Nahūṣa Dialogue
एवमुक्तस्तु भृगुणा मैत्रावरुणिरव्यय: । अगस्त्य: परमप्रीतो बभूव विगतज्वर:,भगुके ऐसा कहनेपर अविनाशी मित्रावरुणकुमार अगस्त्यजी अत्यंत प्रसन्न और निश्चिन्त हो गये
evam uktas tu bhṛguṇā maitrāvaruṇir avyayaḥ | agastyaḥ paramaprīto babhūva vigatajvaraḥ ||
Mendengar kata-kata Bhṛgu demikian, Maitrāvaruṇi yang tak binasa—Agastya—menjadi amat gembira, dan kegelisahan batinnya pun sirna.
अगस्त्य उवाच
Educational Q&A
Right instruction from a wise authority, when accepted without resistance, removes inner turmoil (jvara) and establishes calm joy—an ethical ideal for receiving guidance in dharma.
Bhṛgu has just spoken to Agastya (called Maitrāvaruṇi). Hearing those words, Agastya becomes deeply pleased and his prior anxiety or agitation is dispelled.
