Nahūṣa Episode and the Commendation of Lamp-Gifting and Household Offerings
अगस्त्योडपि महातेजा: कृत्वा कार्य शतक्रतो: । स्वमाश्रमपदं प्रायात् पूज्यमानो द्विजातिभि:,महातेजस्वी अगस्त्य भी शतक्रतु इन्द्रका कार्य सिद्ध करके द्विजातियोंसे पूजित होकर अपने आश्रमको चले गये
agastyod api mahātejāḥ kṛtvā kāryaṃ śatakratoḥ | svam āśramapadaṃ prāyāt pūjyamāno dvijātibhiḥ ||
毗湿摩（Bhīṣma）说道：即便是威光赫赫的圣仙阿伽斯提耶（Agastya），在完成了百祭主（Śatakratu，即因陀罗 Indra）所托之事后，也回到自己的林苑道场；并受诸“二生者”（婆罗门等）恭敬礼敬。
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
Fulfil the duty entrusted by a rightful authority with competence and integrity, then return to one’s proper station without attachment to recognition; honour may come, but it should not be the motive.
Bhishma recounts that the powerful sage Agastya successfully carried out a task for Indra (Śatakratu) and, after being honoured by the twice-born, departed back to his hermitage.
