अग्निशाप-प्रसंगः

Agni’s Curse and the Restoration of Ritual Order

देवर्षयश्न मुदितास्ततो जम्मुर्यथागतम्‌ । ऋषयश्च यथापूर्व क्रिया: सर्वाः प्रचक्रिरे,इसके बाद देवर्षिगण अत्यन्त प्रसन्न हो जैसे आये थे वैसे ही चले गये। फिर ऋषि- महर्षि भी अग्निहोत्र आदि सम्पूर्ण कर्मोंका पूर्ववत्‌ पालन करने लगे

Śaunaka uvāca: Devarṣayaś ca muditās tato jagmur yathāgatam | Ṛṣayaś ca yathāpūrvaṃ kriyāḥ sarvāḥ pracakrire ||

శౌనకుడు అన్నాడు—అప్పుడు దేవర్షులు ఆనందంతో, వచ్చినట్లే తిరిగి వెళ్లిపోయారు. అనంతరం ఋషులు, మహర్షులు కూడా యథాపూర్వంగా అగ్నిహోత్రాది సమస్త నియత కర్మలను మళ్లీ ఆచరించసాగారు.

Educational Q&A

The verse underscores dharma as continuity of disciplined practice: after an extraordinary visit by divine seers, the sages return to their regular prescribed rites (kriyāḥ) like agnihotra, showing that spiritual life is sustained by steady observance rather than momentary excitement.

Śaunaka reports that the devarṣis, pleased, depart in the same manner as they arrived; once they leave, the resident sages and great sages resume their customary ritual duties, restoring the normal routine of the hermitage.
