มารกัณฑेयกล่าวว่า— ครั้นแล้ว เมื่อฤๅษีผู้ทรงศักดิ์—ภฤคุ อังคิรัส และท่านอื่น ๆ—ปลุกเขาขึ้นอีกครั้งด้วยตบะของตน พระอัคนีผู้รุ่งเรืองซึ่งได้รับการหล่อเลี้ยงด้วยตบะนั้นเอง ก็ลุกโพลงด้วยรัศมีอันแรงกล้า.

Educational Q&A

Tapas (disciplined austerity) is portrayed as a real, efficacious force: it can awaken, intensify, and sustain divine energies. The verse also implies ethical restraint—such power is invoked and directed under the guidance of venerable sages rather than unleashed aimlessly.

Mārkaṇḍeya narrates that Bhṛgu, Aṅgiras, and other sages again employ their austerities to rouse Agni. As a result, Agni—already radiant—becomes further strengthened by tapas and flares up with great intensity.
