द्रौपदी–सत्यभामा संवादः
Draupadī and Satyabhāmā on ethical household conduct
पूज्यते हविषाग्रयेण चातुर्मास्येषु पावक: । पर्जन्यसहित: श्रीमाननिनेर्वेश्वानरस्तु सः,चातुर्मास्य यज्ञोंमें प्रधान हविष्यद्वारा पर्जन्यसहित जिनकी पूजा की जाती है, वे कान्तिमान् वैश्वानर नामक अग्नि (मनुके प्रथम पुत्र) हैं
pūjyate haviṣāgryeṇa cāturmāsyeṣu pāvakaḥ | parjanya-sahitaḥ śrīmān aniner vaiśvānaraḥ tu saḥ ||
マールカンデーヤは言った。「チャートゥルマーシャ（Cāturmāsya）の季節祭儀において、聖なる火（パーヴァカ）は最上の供物によって礼拝される。雨をもたらす力パルジャニヤ（Parjanya）と共に崇められるその輝ける者こそ、『ヴァイシュヴァーナラ』（Vaiśvānara）—アニニー（Anini）の誉れ高き子、アグニである。」

The verse links ritual worship to dharmic balance: Fire (Agni) is honored with the best oblation in seasonal rites, and his worship is paired with Parjanya, highlighting the interdependence of human offerings and nature’s life-giving rain within ṛta/dharma.
Mārkaṇḍeya identifies a specific revered form of Agni—Vaiśvānara—describing how he is worshipped in the Cāturmāsya sacrifices with principal offerings, together with Parjanya, and notes his lineage as connected to Anini.
