Chatra–Upānah Dāna: Origin Narrative
Jamadagni–Reṇukā–Sūrya Saṃvāda
आख्यानं य इदं युक्त: पठेत् पर्वणि पर्वणि । न मूर्ख जनयेत् पुत्र॑ न भवेच्च निराकृति:
ākhyānaṃ ya idaṃ yuktaḥ paṭhet parvaṇi parvaṇi | na mūrkhaṃ janayet putraṃ na bhavec ca nirākṛtiḥ ||
Wika ni Agastya: Sinumang may disiplina at buong pagtuon na bumibigkas ng banal na salaysay na ito sa bawat nararapat na pagkakataon (parva sa parva), ay hindi magkakaanak ng hangal na anak na lalaki; at siya man ay hindi magiging kapos sa katawan ni mabibigo sa kanyang mga layon.
अगस्त्य उवाच
Educational Q&A
Steady, disciplined recitation of a dharmic narrative is presented as a transformative practice: it cultivates clarity and auspiciousness, leading to worthy offspring and a life free from bodily deficiency or thwarted aims.
Agastya concludes or endorses the value of the preceding sacred account by stating its phala-śruti (promise of results): one who recites it regularly and with focused mind gains tangible and moral benefits.
