Agni’s Withdrawal to the Forest and Identification with Āṅgirasa (अग्न्याङ्गिरस-इतिहासः)
यद् ब्राह्मणानां कुशलं तदेषां परिकीर्तयेत्
yad brāhmaṇānāṁ kuśalaṁ tad eṣāṁ parikīrtayet
ബ്രാഹ്മണൻ പറഞ്ഞു—ബ്രാഹ്മണരുടെ ക്ഷേമത്തിനും മംഗളത്തിനും ഉപകരിക്കുന്നതെന്തോ, അതിനെ ഇവർക്കായി പ്രസ്താവിക്കുകയും ശുപാർശ ചെയ്യുകയും വേണം।
ब्राह्मण उवाच
One should actively speak in favor of, and advocate for, whatever truly benefits Brahmins—implying that right speech and counsel should be guided by dharma and the welfare of those devoted to sacred learning and ritual responsibility.
A Brahmin speaker offers a normative instruction: in the given situation, the proper response is to articulate and promote what is beneficial for Brahmins, framing the discussion around welfare-oriented dharmic counsel rather than personal gain or hostility.
