Draupadī’s Instruction on Marital Conduct and Household Discipline (चित्तग्रहण-उपदेश)

तस्य तद्ब्रह्मणः कार्यन्निर्हरन्ति हुताशना: । अत्रिको जब प्रजाकी सृष्टि करनेकी इच्छा हुई, तब उन्होंने उन अग्नियोंको ही अपने हृदयमें धारण किया। फिर उन ब्रह्मर्षिके शरीरसे विभिन्न अग्नियोंका प्रादुर्भाव हुआ ।।

evam ete mahātmānaḥ kīrtitās te ’gnayo mayā

マールカンデーヤは言った。「かくして我は、力と目的において大いなる魂を宿す、あの聖なる火々を汝らに語り尽くした。この段は、アグニのごとき宇宙の力が、ただの物質的な炎ではなく、正しく招き、正しく理解されるとき、創造と秩序を支えるべき崇敬の働きであることを示している。」

Agnis (sacred fires)

Educational Q&A

That Agni (fire) is to be regarded as a venerable, order-sustaining power; understanding and honoring such forces is part of dharma, especially in ritual, creation-myth contexts, and disciplined conduct.

Mārkaṇḍeya concludes a description/listing of various sacred fires (Agnis), stating that he has now recounted them—serving as a closing line to the preceding account.
