द्रौपदी–सत्यभामा संवादः

Draupadī and Satyabhāmā on ethical household conduct

जिसका चालू किया हुआ दर्श और पौर्णमास याग बीचमें ही बंद हो जाय अथवा बिना आहुति किये ही रह जाय, उसे “पथिकृत” नामक अग्निके लिये मिट्टीके आठ पुरवोंमें संस्कृत चरुके द्वारा होम करना चाहिए ।। सूतिकाग्निर्यदा चाग्निं संस्पृशेदग्निहोत्रिकम्‌ । इष्टिरष्टाकपालेन कार्या चाग्निमतेडग्नये,जब सूतिकागृहकी अग्नि, अग्निहोत्रकी अग्निका स्पर्श कर ले, तब मिट्टीके आठ पुरवोंमें संस्कृत पुरोडाशद्वारा 'अग्निमान” नामक अग्निको आहुति देनी चाहिये

mārkaṇḍeya uvāca | sūtikāgnir yadā cāgniṃ saṃspṛśed agnihotrikam | iṣṭir aṣṭākapālena kāryā cāgnimate 'gnaye ||

Mārkaṇḍeya said: When the fire kept in the lying-in chamber (the sūtikā-fire) comes into contact with the householder’s Agnihotra fire, an expiatory offering should be performed for the fire called “Agnimat,” using an oblation prepared as an eight-pot (aṣṭākapāla) rite. The teaching underscores ritual responsibility: when sacred fires are disturbed, one should restore order through prescribed atonement rather than neglecting the breach.
