Dhaumya’s Counsel on Incognito Conduct in a Royal Household (राजवसतौ आचरण-निति)
तेषां समिध्य तानग्नीन् मन्त्रवच्च जुहाव सः । समृद्धिवृद्धिलाभाय पृथिवीविजयाय च,पाण्डवोंकी अग्निहोत्रसम्बन्धी अग्निको प्रज्वलित करके उन्होंने उनकी समृद्धि, वृद्धि, राज्यलाभ तथा पृथ्वीपर विजय-प्राप्तिके लिये वेदमन्त्र पढ़कर होम किया
teṣāṁ samidhya tān agnīn mantravac ca juhāva saḥ | samṛddhi-vṛddhi-lābhāya pṛthivī-vijayāya ca ||
اُن کے لیے اُن مقدّس آگوں کو روشن کر کے اُس نے ویدی منتر پڑھتے ہوئے ہون کیا—ان کی خوشحالی، افزونی، جائز سلطنت کے حصول اور زمین پر فتح کے لیے۔

Educational Q&A
The verse links worldly aims—prosperity, growth, and victory—to disciplined sacred action. It suggests that legitimate success should be pursued through dharmic means: reverence for ritual order, right intention, and restraint, rather than through mere ambition or violence.
The narrator describes a ritual moment: the sacred fires are kindled and oblations are offered with Vedic mantras, explicitly for the welfare and advancement of those concerned—prosperity, increase, acquisition of rule, and victory.
