अग्निप्रवेशं ये कुर्युर्दृढसत्त्वा जितेंद्रियाः । स्त्रियो वा सत्त्वसंपन्नास्ते सर्वे अग्नितेजसः
agnipraveśaṃ ye kuryurdṛḍhasattvā jiteṃdriyāḥ | striyo vā sattvasaṃpannāste sarve agnitejasaḥ
Những người kiên định, tự chế ngự các căn mà bước vào lửa, và cả những người nữ đầy dũng lực—tất thảy đều rực sáng bằng chính quang huy của Agni.
Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda → Agastya)
Scene: Austere men and women, calm-faced and self-controlled, stand before a blazing sacrificial fire; the flames rise like a golden pillar, and their bodies are haloed with Agni’s radiance rather than harmed.
Steadfast self-mastery and fearlessness aligned with sacred intent are praised as leading to Agni-like spiritual radiance.
The broader context is Kāśī (Vārāṇasī) in the Kāśīkhaṇḍa, where Agni-related merit is celebrated.
Agni-praveśa (entering fire) is mentioned as an act associated with attaining Agni’s tejas (radiance).
