द्रौपदी–सत्यभामा संवादः
Draupadī and Satyabhāmā on ethical household conduct
निशा त्वजनयत् कन्यामग्नीषोमाबुभौ तथा । मनोरेवाभवद् भार्या सुषुवे पडच पावकान्
niśā tv ajanayat kanyām agnīṣomau bubhau tathā | manor evābhavad bhāryā suṣuve pañca pāvakān ||
ମାର୍କଣ୍ଡେୟ କହିଲେ—ନିଶା ଏକ କନ୍ୟାକୁ ଜନ୍ମ ଦେଲେ; ଏବଂ ସେହିପରି ଦୁଇ ପୁତ୍ରକୁ—ଅଗ୍ନି ଓ ସୋମକୁ। ସେ ମନୁଙ୍କ ଭାର୍ଯ୍ୟା ହେଲେ ଏବଂ ଅଗ୍ନିସ୍ୱଭାବୀ ପାଞ୍ଚ ପୁତ୍ରକୁ ମଧ୍ୟ ଜନ୍ମ ଦେଲେ।

The verse reinforces a dharmic worldview where orderly lineage, sanctioned marriage, and progeny are not merely social facts but expressions of cosmic principles—Agni and Soma representing fundamental forces embodied through birth.
Mārkaṇḍeya recounts a genealogical episode: Niśā gives birth to a daughter and to the sons Agni and Soma, then becomes Manu’s wife and bears five additional sons described as pāvakas (fire-like beings).
