Chapter 2: Sudarśana Upākhyāna — Atithi-Dharma and the Conquest of Mṛtyu
Gṛhastha-Vrata
तान् दर्शयामास तदा भगवान् हव्यवाहन: । स्वं रूप॑ दीप्तिमत् कृत्वा शरदर्कसमद्युति:,तब भगवान् हव्यवाहनने रातमें अपना तेजस्वी रूप प्रकट करके शरत्कालके सूर्यके सदृश द्युतिमान् हो उन ब्राह्मणोंको दर्शन दिया
tān darśayāmāsa tadā bhagavān havyavāhanaḥ | svaṁ rūpaṁ dīptimat kṛtvā śarad-arka-samad-yutiḥ ||
تب خداوندِ ہویہواہن (اگنی) نے اپنا درخشاں روپ ظاہر کیا۔ خزاں کے سورج کی مانند تاباں ہو کر اُس نے اُن برہمنوں کو دیدار بخشا۔

Educational Q&A
When dharma is upheld through sincere, properly performed sacred duty, it gains moral and spiritual efficacy; the divine is portrayed as responding to such integrity by granting confirmation (darśana).
Agni (Havyavāhana), taking on a brilliantly radiant form like the autumn sun, appears before the brāhmaṇas and grants them a direct vision of himself.
