द्रौपदी–सत्यभामा संवादः
Draupadī and Satyabhāmā on ethical household conduct
अग्निं रजस्वला वै स्त्री संस्पृशेदग्निहोत्रिकम् । इष्टिरष्टाकपालेन कार्या वसुमते5ग्नये,यदि अनि्निहोत्र सम्बन्धी अग्निको कोई रजस्वला स्त्री छू दे तो वसुमान् अग्निके लिये मिट्टीके आठ पुरवोंमें संस्कृत चरुद्वारा आहुति देनी चाहिये
agniṁ rajasvalā vai strī saṁspṛśed agnihotrikam | iṣṭir aṣṭākapālena kāryā vasumate 'gnaye |
マールカンデーヤは言った。「もし月経中の女が、アグニホートラに関わる聖火に触れたなら、贖罪のイシュティを行うべきである。すなわち八つの土器（aṣṭākapāla）を用い、加持された caru（供粥）を供物として、『ヴァスumat（Vasumat）』の名のもとにアグニへ捧げよ。」
मार्कण्डेय उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that when the sanctity of the Agnihotra fire is ritually compromised (here, by contact with a menstruating woman), dharma prescribes a defined corrective rite—an iṣṭi in an eight-shard vessel offered to Agni (as Vasumat)—to restore ritual order and continuity.
Mārkaṇḍeya is laying down a rule of ritual conduct and expiation within a broader dharma-oriented discourse: he specifies what should be done if the Agnihotra-associated fire is touched in a condition considered ritually impure.
