Shloka 5
कृतं यतो हुत॑ हव्यं सर्पते सर्वतोदिशम् । एतद द्वारं द्विजश्रेष्ठ दिवसस्य तथाध्वन:
yūparṇa uvāca |
kṛtaṃ yato hutaṃ havyaṃ sarpate sarvato diśam |
etad dvāraṃ dvijaśreṣṭha divasasya tathādhvanaḥ ||
ఎక్కడ విధివిధానంగా హవ్యాన్ని హోమం చేశారో, అక్కడి నుంచి ఆ ఆహుతి అన్ని దిశలకూ వ్యాపిస్తుంది. ఓ ద్విజశ్రేష్ఠా! ఇదే దినద్వారం; ఇదే ప్రయాణమార్గ ద్వారం కూడా.

Educational Q&A
Properly performed sacred action (homa/oblation) is portrayed as opening a ‘gateway’—it radiates benefit in all directions and becomes an auspicious means for beginning or proceeding with one’s day and one’s journey. The ethical emphasis is on right performance and auspicious timing as supports for righteous conduct.
Yūparṇa addresses a Brahmin respectfully and points to a place where an offering has been made. He interprets that completed oblation as a sign or threshold—an auspicious ‘door’ for the day and for travel—suggesting readiness to proceed under favorable, ritually sanctioned conditions.
