द्रौपदी–सत्यभामा संवादः
Draupadī and Satyabhāmā on ethical household conduct
शम्भुमग्निमथ प्राहुब्राह्मिणा वेदपारगा: । आवसथशथ्यं द्विजा: प्राहुर्दीप्तमरग्निं महाप्रभम्,वेदोंके पारंगत दिद्वान् ब्राह्मण “शम्भु' तथा “आवसथ्य” नामक अग्निको देदीप्यमान तथा महान् तेज: पुछ्जसे सम्पन्न बताते हैं
śambhum agnim atha prāhur brāhmaṇā vedapāragāḥ | āvasathyaṃ dvijāḥ prāhur dīptam agniṃ mahāprabham ||
Mārkaṇḍeya said: The Brāhmaṇas who had mastered the Vedas declared that there is a sacred fire named Śambhu; and the twice-born also spoke of another fire called Āvasathya—blazing, and endowed with great splendor. The passage underscores how Vedic learning preserves and transmits the names and sanctity of ritual fires, treating them as venerable presences rather than mere physical flame.
