निष्पादयेनमहाभाग ! पितॄणां प्रीणने रतः । अग्नौ कार्यमनुज्ञातः कुरुष्वेति ततो द्विजैः ॥
niṣpādayen mahābhāga! pitṝṇāṃ prīṇane rataḥ / agnau kāryam anujñātaḥ kuruṣveti tato dvijaiḥ
おお高貴なる者よ、ピトリ(Pitṛs)を喜ばせることに専心する者は、作法に従って儀礼を正しく完了すべきである。次いで許可が与えられると、二度生まれ(dvija)に告げられる。「火中にてなすべきことを行え。」

Ritual has stages and closure: one completes duties to ancestors, then proceeds to fire-offering only after ‘permission’—a model of orderly conduct and reverence.
Ācāra instruction supporting social-religious order; not a pancalakṣaṇa narrative unit.
Moving from Pitṛ offerings to Agni symbolizes transferring merit and intention from the subtle ancestral sphere into the transformative principle of fire—internalizing and sealing the rite.
