Brahmā’s Puṣkara Sacrifice: Kokāmukha Tīrtha, Varāha’s Aid, and the Arrival of Gāyatrī
सावित्री व्याकुला देव प्रसक्ता गृहकर्माणि । सख्यो नाभ्यागता यावत्तावन्नागमनं मम
sāvitrī vyākulā deva prasaktā gṛhakarmāṇi | sakhyo nābhyāgatā yāvattāvannāgamanaṃ mama
ข้าแต่เทพเจ้า สาวิตรีกำลังร้อนรนและติดอยู่กับกิจแห่งเรือน เมื่อสหายของนางยังไม่มาถึง ข้าพเจ้าจะยังไม่มา
Uncertain from single-verse context (likely a dialogue addressed to a male deity, 'deva')
Concept: Even divine figures are shown bound by role-dharma and social timing; haste in sacred matters can be checked by propriety and circumstance.
Application: Honor commitments and timing; do not force outcomes when responsibilities and community obligations require patience.

FAQs
From this verse alone, the speaker cannot be identified with certainty; it is someone addressing a male deity ('deva') and referring to Sāvitrī’s distress and obligations.
It highlights the tension between ritual/social timing and domestic duty—arrival or participation is deferred until companions arrive and responsibilities are managed.
The verse suggests attentiveness to propriety and circumstance: one should act at the appropriate time, considering responsibilities and social context rather than acting impulsively.
