Atithi-satkāra and the Consolation of Wise Counsel (अतिथिसत्कारः प्रज्ञानवचनस्य च पराश्वासनम्)
यदेतद् ब्रह्माग्नीषोमीयं तेन जगदू धार्यते,यह जो अग्नि और सोमसम्बन्धी ब्रह्म है, उसीके द्वारा सम्पूर्ण जगत् धारण किया जाता है
yad etad brahmāgnīṣomīyaṃ tena jagad dhāryate
Esse Brahman ligado a Agni e a Soma é o princípio sustentador; por ele o mundo inteiro é mantido.
तामिन्द्र उवाच गच्छ नहुषस्त्वया वाच्योथ<पूर्वेण मामृषियुक्तेन यानेन त्वमधिरूढ
Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that the cosmos is upheld by a sacred, integrating principle (Brahman) expressed through the Agni–Soma polarity—often read as the harmonization of transformative fire (Agni) and nourishing essence (Soma). Ethical order (dharma) mirrors this balance: stability arises from alignment with the sustaining law, not from domination.
Within the Shanti Parva’s instruction-oriented setting, the speaker states a doctrinal point about what sustains the universe: the Brahman associated with Agni and Soma. The line functions as a compact cosmological justification for dharmic order and Vedic sacred structure.
