Mantra 3
Agni as the powerful guide of the sacrifice who grants safe passage to wealth, strength, and divine order (ṛta)
त्वेषस्ते धूम ऋण्वति दिवि सं च्छुक्र आततः सूरो न हि द्युता त्वं कृपा पावक रोचसे
tveṣaste dhūma ṛṇvati divi saṃ cchukra ātataḥ sūro na hi dyutā tvaṃ kṛpā pāvaka rocase

നിന്റെ ധൂമം തീവ്രമായി ജ്വലിച്ച് ആകാശത്തിൽ ഉയർന്ന് ദീപ്തിയായി വ്യാപിക്കുന്നു; കാരണം ഹേ പാവക, നീ സൂര്യനെപ്പോലെ ദ്യുതിയോടെ നിന്റെ സ്വരൂപത്തിൽ തന്നെ പ്രകാശിക്കുന്നു.

{ "gloss_summary": "Agni’s blazing smoke rises and spreads bright in the sky; Agni, as purifier, shines with radiance like the sun.", "ritual_interpretation": "Smoke and brightness are ritual epiphany: visible ascent signifies acceptance of offering; ‘pāvaka’ foregrounds Agni’s purificatory function for havis and sacrificer.", "theological_insight": "The visible phenomena of fire are read as divine presence: Agni manifests as luminous order connecting earth to heaven.", "etymology_highlights": "pāvaka from √pū ‘to purify’; śukra as ‘pure/bright’ indicating ritual and moral purity." }
