स्वस्वरूपधराश्चैव ते सर्वे सिद्धिमागताः । अग्न्याधानादयः पुण्या अश्वमेधादयस्तथा
svasvarūpadharāścaiva te sarve siddhimāgatāḥ | agnyādhānādayaḥ puṇyā aśvamedhādayastathā
സ്വസ്വരൂപം ധരിച്ചു അവർ എല്ലാവരും സിദ്ധി പ്രാപിച്ചു; അതുപോലെ അഗ്ന്യാധാനം മുതലായ പുണ്യകർമ്മങ്ങളും അശ്വമേധം മുതലായ യാഗങ്ങളും ഫലപ്രദമായി സഫലമായി।

Concept: When beings abide in their proper nature (sva-svarupa) and rites are performed in right order, spiritual fruition (siddhi) manifests.
Application: Return to one’s rightful duties and inner integrity; perform daily disciplines consistently—small ‘agnyadhana-like’ commitments (regular worship, japa, service) yield steady results.

It links the attainment of “siddhi” (spiritual accomplishment) with beings returning to their proper nature, and it affirms the purifying, merit-producing power of major Vedic rites such as agnyādhāna and aśvamedha.
Agnyādhāna is the formal establishment of the sacred household fires that grounds a life of Vedic ritual duty; aśvamedha is a royal soma-sacrifice regarded as one of the most prestigious yajñas in the Vedic tradition.
Dharma is portrayed as both inner (living in one’s true nature) and outer (rightly performed sacred duties); when aligned, they culminate in spiritual fulfillment and auspicious results.
