Chatra–Upānah Dāna: Origin Narrative
Jamadagni–Reṇukā–Sūrya Saṃvāda
आख्यानं य इदं युक्त: पठेत् पर्वणि पर्वणि । न मूर्ख जनयेत् पुत्र॑ न भवेच्च निराकृति:
ākhyānaṃ ya idaṃ yuktaḥ paṭhet parvaṇi parvaṇi | na mūrkhaṃ janayet putraṃ na bhavec ca nirākṛtiḥ ||
ଅଗସ୍ତ୍ୟ କହିଲେ—ଯେ ନିୟମିତ ଏକାଗ୍ରଚିତ୍ତରେ ପର୍ବେ ପର୍ବେ ଏହି ପବିତ୍ର ଆଖ୍ୟାନ ପଢ଼େ, ସେ କେବେ ମୂର୍ଖ ପୁତ୍ରକୁ ଜନ୍ମ ଦିଏ ନାହିଁ; ଏବଂ ସେ ନିଜେ ମଧ୍ୟ ନ ଶରୀରଦୋଷୀ ହୁଏ, ନ ଲକ୍ଷ୍ୟରେ ବିଫଳ ହୁଏ।

Agastya concludes or endorses the value of the preceding sacred account by stating its phala-śruti (promise of results): one who recites it regularly and with focused mind gains tangible and moral benefits.
