The Stolen Sacrificial Horse of Sagara
तयोर्मध्ये प्रवृत्तोऽभूद्यज्ञ स्सपुरुषोत्तम।स हि देशो नरव्याघ्र प्रशस्तो यज्ञकर्मणि।।1.39.5।।
tayor madhye pravṛtto 'bhūd yajñaḥ sa puruṣottama |
sa hi deśo naravyāghra praśasto yajñakarmaṇi || 1.39.5 ||
اے پُرشوتم! اُن دونوں کے بیچ یَجْن کا آغاز ہوا؛ اے نر-ویاغھر! وہ دیس یَجْن کے کرم کے لیے نہایت ستھرا اور موزوں تھا۔
Then the gods together with the gandharvas, asuras and serpents in bewildered minds approached Lord Brahma.
Dharma includes performing yajña in a proper place and manner—right action depends on right context, discipline, and adherence to sacred procedure.
Viśvāmitra specifies where Sagara’s sacrifice took place: in the region between Himavān and Vindhya, considered auspicious for ritual.
Ritual conscientiousness: choosing an appropriate site reflects care for correctness (śuddhi) and truthfulness to prescribed duty.
