Śoka-śamana: Kṛṣṇa’s Consolation and Nārada’s Exempla to Sṛñjaya
Chapter 29
लेभे च कामांस्तान् सर्वान् पावकादिति न: श्रुतम्,'सुना है कि उन्हें अग्निदेवसे वे सभी मनोवाञ्छित फल प्राप्त हो गये थे। उन्होंने एक हजार वर्षोतक बारंबार दर्श, पौर्णमास, चातुर्मास्य तथा अश्वमेध यज्ञोंका अनुष्ठान किया था
lebhe ca kāmāṁs tān sarvān pāvakād iti naḥ śrutam | sahasra-varṣotkaṁ bāraṁbāra darśa-paurṇamāsa-cāturmāsya-aśvamedha-yajñānām anuṣṭhānaṁ kṛtavān iti |
वायुरुवाच—श्रुतं नः पावकात् तस्य सर्वान् कामान् लेभे स इति। स पुनः पुनर्दर्शपौर्णमासचातुर्मास्येषु यजमानोऽश्वमेधं च कृत्वा सहस्रं परिवत्सरान् यज्ञकर्माण्यनुतिष्ठत्।

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the traditional idea that sustained, disciplined performance of Vedic duties (yajñas and periodic rites) is believed to generate merit and lead to the fulfillment of legitimate desires—yet it also implicitly frames such attainments as dependent on divine sanction (here, Agni/Pāvaka).
Vāyu reports a received tradition: a certain person is said to have gained all wished-for results from Agni and to have undertaken major sacrificial observances repeatedly—Darśa-Paurṇamāsa, Cāturmāsya, and Aśvamedha—over an immense span of a thousand years, emphasizing extraordinary ritual commitment.
