फ़िरे-wअतेर्-चिर्च्ले यथा देवगृहाणीह सूर्यचन्द्रादयो ग्रहाः अतः परं तु त्रिविधम् अग्नेर्वक्ष्ये समुद्भवम्

Sebagaimana di sini, Surya, Candra dan planet-planet lain bergerak menurut lingkaran yang telah ditetapkan, laksana kawasan suci kediaman para dewa; demikianlah kini akan aku nyatakan asal-usul Agni yang tiga macam. Tatanan kosmos ini berlangsung di bawah pemerintahan Pati (Śiva), sedangkan para paśu (jiwa) mengalaminya menurut paśa (ikatan) dan pahala kebajikan masing-masing.
Suta Goswami (narrating to the sages of Naimisharanya)
FAQs
It frames cosmic order—sun, moon, and planetary cycles—as sacred, regulated movement, implying that Linga worship aligns the worshipper with Śiva as Pati, the governor of cosmic rhythm and ritual time.
By presenting an ordered cosmos and then introducing Agni’s threefold origin, the verse implies a higher governing intelligence—Śiva-tattva as Pati—within which elements and luminaries function; pashus experience this order through the constraints of pasha.
The focus on Agni’s origin points toward Agni-centered Vedic ritual (homa) as a Shaiva-supportive practice; yogically, it supports Pāśupata discipline of attuning one’s inner ‘fire’ (tapas) to the cosmic law upheld by Śiva.
