The Stolen Sacrificial Horse of Sagara
गतिं पुत्रा: न पश्यामि रक्षसां परुषर्षभा:।मन्त्रपूतैर्महाभागैरास्थितो हि महाक्रतु:।।1.39.12।।
gatiṁ putrāḥ na paśyāmi rakṣasāṁ paruṣarṣabhāḥ |
mantrapūtair mahābhāgair āsthito hi mahākratuḥ ||1.39.12||
என் புதல்வர்களே, மனிதர்களில் சிறந்தவர்களே! இங்கு ராக்ஷசர்கள் நுழைய எந்த வழியும் எனக்குத் தோன்றவில்லை; ஏனெனில் இந்த மஹாக்ரது மந்திரத்தால் புனிதமடைந்து, உயர்ந்த புரோகிதர்களால் பாதுகாக்கப்பட்டு நடத்தப்படுகிறது.
'Therefore my sons, go and search this entire earth surrounded by oceans. May you be safe'.
Dharma is discernment grounded in truth: Sagara reasons that a properly consecrated rite, upheld by qualified priests, should not be vulnerable—so the search must proceed beyond blaming unseen forces.
Sagara reassures his sons that the sacrifice is ritually secured and implies the disturbance (the missing horse) must be investigated through action rather than assumption.
Prudence and confidence in dharmic procedure—trust in mantra and priestly guardianship paired with a rational assessment of the situation.
