Nāmānirukta of Nārāyaṇa (Keśava–Viṣṇu–Vāsudeva) and the Rudra–Nārāyaṇa Unity Theme
अवतीर्य महीं ते5थ चातुहोंत्रमकल्पयन् | संयाजयन्तो विप्रांश्व॒ राजन्यांक्षु विशस्तथा
avatīrya mahīṁ te ’tha cāturhotram akalpayan | saṁyājayanto viprāṁś ca rājanyāṁś ca viśas tathā ||
毗湿摩说道：“他们降临人间之后，便建立了四重祭祀之制（cāturhotra 诸仪）。进入居家之期（家住期）后，他们令婆罗门、刹帝利与吠舍举行祭祀。为诸‘二生者’所敬奉，他们怀大满足而安住，专心为人主持祭礼，并教授吠陀。正因这些职责，他们富足兴盛，名闻于世。”

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that prosperity and lasting reputation arise from steadfast performance of dharma—especially the householder’s duties of sustaining Vedic sacrifice and transmitting Vedic knowledge—carried out for the benefit of society.
Bhishma describes certain exemplary figures who, after coming to earth, instituted the cāturhotra sacrificial order and lived as householders, conducting sacrifices for the three twice-born varṇas and teaching the Vedas, thereby gaining honor, contentment, and renown.
