द्रौपदी–सत्यभामा संवादः
Draupadī and Satyabhāmā on ethical household conduct
दर्शे च पौर्णमासे च यस्येह हविरुच्यते । विष्णु्नामेह यो<ग्निस्तु धृतिमान्नाम सोडज्लिरा:
darśe ca paurṇamāse ca yasyeha havir ucyate | viṣṇur nāmeha yo 'gnis tu dhṛtimān nāma so 'ṅgirāḥ ||
Мārкаṇḍея сказал: «Священный огонь, которому в этом мире предписано приносить возлияния на обрядах новолуния (Дарша) и полнолуния (Паурнамаса), здесь известен под именем “Вишну”. Его считают принадлежащим к роду Ангираса, и также называют “Дхритиман” — стойкий, неколебимый.»
मार्कण्डेय उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse underscores Vedic dharma as sustained through regular, time-bound rites (new-moon and full-moon sacrifices). It highlights that ritual fire is not merely physical but a sanctified entity with specific names and lineage, emphasizing precision, continuity, and reverence in religious duty.
Mārkaṇḍeya identifies a particular sacrificial fire associated with the Darśa and Paurṇamāsa rites, stating its name as ‘Viṣṇu,’ noting its Aṅgiras affiliation, and giving its alternate name ‘Dhṛtimān.’
