छत्रोपानहदानफलप्रशंसा — Praise of the Merit of Donating Umbrella and Footwear
जमदम्नेश्व संवाद सूर्यस्य च महात्मन: । पुरा स भगवान् साक्षाद्धनुषाक्रीडयत् प्रभो
jamadagneś ca saṃvādaḥ sūryasya ca mahātmanaḥ | purā sa bhagavān sākṣād dhanuṣā krīḍayat prabho, ānīya sā tadā tasmai prādād asakṛd acyuta |
Wahai Prabhu! Dalam perkara ini dikisahkan dialog kuno antara resi Jamadagni dan Dewa Surya yang berhati agung. Pada masa lampau, Jamadagni yang mulia itu sendiri sedang bermain sekaligus berlatih dengan busur. Saat itu istrinya, Renuka, berulang kali membawa kembali anak-anak panah itu dan menyerahkannya kepadanya lagi.

Educational Q&A
The verse frames a dharmic ideal of disciplined practice supported by orderly household cooperation: Jamadagni’s focused training and Renukā’s repeated assistance illustrate steadiness, service, and alignment of daily action with righteous purpose.
Bhīṣma introduces an old account of a dialogue between Jamadagni and Sūrya. As the setting, Jamadagni is practising archery, and his wife repeatedly retrieves and returns the fired arrows to him.
