毗湿摩说道：“主上，关于此事，传说有一段古老的对话，发生在圣者阇摩达耆尼与大心的日神苏利耶之间。久远以前，那位可敬的阇摩达耆尼亲自以弓为戏——以严整之法练习射艺。其时，他的妻子勒努迦屡屡将射出的箭矢拾回，送到他手中。”

Educational Q&A
The verse frames a dharmic ideal of disciplined practice supported by orderly household cooperation: Jamadagni’s focused training and Renukā’s repeated assistance illustrate steadiness, service, and alignment of daily action with righteous purpose.
Bhīṣma introduces an old account of a dialogue between Jamadagni and Sūrya. As the setting, Jamadagni is practising archery, and his wife repeatedly retrieves and returns the fired arrows to him.
