यज्ञरक्षणम् — Protection of Viśvāmitra’s Sacrifice at Siddhāśrama
मन्त्रवच्च यथान्यायं यज्ञोऽसौ सम्प्रवर्तते।आकाशे च महान् शब्द: प्रादुरासीद्भयानक:।।।।
mantravat ca yathānyāyaṃ yajño 'sau sampravartate |
ākāśe ca mahān śabdaḥ prādurāsīd bhayānakaḥ ||
Khi lễ tế ấy vận hành đúng pháp, hòa theo thần chú như nghi quỹ, bỗng giữa hư không vang lên một tiếng động lớn, rợn người đáng sợ.
While the sacrifice was being performed in accordance with mantras, a great sound causing fear emerged from the sky.
Ritual order (yathānyāya) is part of dharma; adharma intrudes as disruption, prompting the need for protection of sacred duty.
Viśvāmitra’s yajña is proceeding correctly when an ominous sound signals the approaching threat.
Steadfastness in duty—continuing proper performance of yajña despite impending danger.
