Offerings for Ancestors and Their Stated Results

तेजकी राशिभूत अग्निदेवका तुम सब लोग शीघ्र अन्वेषण करो। वे तुम्हारी मनोवांछित कामनाको पूर्ण करेंगे ।।

etad vākyam upaśrutya tato devā mahātmanaḥ | jagmuḥ saṃsiddha-saṅkalpāḥ paryeṣanto vibhāvasum ||

بھیشم نے کہا: تم سب نور کے انبار، اگنی دیو کو فوراً تلاش کرو؛ وہ تمہاری من چاہی مراد پوری کرے گا۔ اس عظیم النفس کے یہ کلمات سن کر دیوتا—اپنے عزم میں پختہ اور کامیابی کے یقین کے ساتھ—وہاں سے وِبھاوَسو (اگنی) کی تلاش میں روانہ ہو گئے۔

Educational Q&A

After receiving guidance from a noble authority, one should act promptly and with steady resolve. The verse highlights disciplined follow-through—hearing right counsel is incomplete unless it leads to determined, ethical action.

The gods hear the instruction of a great-souled figure and then depart to search for Vibhāvasu (Agni). Their intention is fixed and their plan is set, so they proceed to carry out the quest.
