Atithi-satkāra and the Consolation of Wise Counsel (अतिथिसत्कारः प्रज्ञानवचनस्य च पराश्वासनम्)
(नाम्नां निरुक्तं वक्ष्यामि शृणुष्वैकाग्रमानस: ।) बोधनात् तापनाच्चैव जगतो हर्षणं भवेत् । अग्नीषोमकृतैरेभि: कर्मभि: पाण्डुनन्दन | हृषीकेशो5हमीशानो वरदो लोकभावन:
nāmnāṃ niruktaṃ vakṣyāmi śṛṇuṣvaikāgramānasaḥ | bodhanāt tāpanāccaiva jagato harṣaṇaṃ bhavet | agnīṣomakṛtairebhiḥ karmabhiḥ pāṇḍunandana | hṛṣīkeśo 'ham īśāno varado lokabhāvanaḥ ||
“我将阐明我诸名之语源；汝当一心谛听。月与日既能唤醒世界，亦能使之温热，故成为欢悦之源。噢般度之子，凭借由阿耆尼与苏摩所施行的这些功用，我——护持世间之主、赐福之君——被称为‘赫利希凯沙’（Hṛṣīkeśa）。”

Educational Q&A
The verse frames divine epithets as meaningful: God is praised as the sustaining Lord whose cosmic operations—awakening and warming life through principles symbolized by Agni and Soma (and reflected in Sun and Moon)—justify the name ‘Hṛṣīkeśa,’ emphasizing both governance of the cosmos and mastery over the senses.
The speaker announces an etymological exposition of sacred names and instructs the listener (addressed as Pāṇḍunandana) to listen attentively; he then links the world’s enlivening heat and awakening to celestial and sacrificial principles (Sun/Moon; Agni/Soma) and identifies himself as the boon-giving, world-nurturing Lord called Hṛṣīkeśa.
