Draupadī’s Instruction on Marital Conduct and Household Discipline (चित्तग्रहण-उपदेश)
भूतानां चापि सर्वेषां य॑ प्राहु: पावकं पतिम् | आत्मा भुवनभर्तेति सान्वयेषु द्विजातिषु,ब्राह्मणलोगोंमें वंशपरम्पराके क्रमसे सभी यह मानते और कहते हैं कि “अद्भुत” नामक अग्नि सम्पूर्ण भूतोंके अधिपति हैं। वे ही सबके आत्मा और भुवनभर्ता हैं
bhūtānāṃ cāpi sarveṣāṃ yaṃ prāhuḥ pāvakaṃ patim | ātmā bhuvanabharteti sānvayeṣu dvijātiṣu ||
马尔坎德耶说道：“在一切众生之中，那些守护谱系与传统的‘再生者’（二次生，dvija）皆宣称：火神（Pāvaka）为万类之主；并且他们也断言，他乃一切之内我（Ātman），亦为诸世界之持者。”

Educational Q&A
The verse elevates Agni (Pāvaka) as a cosmic principle: lord of beings, the indwelling Self, and sustainer of the worlds—reflecting the Vedic view of fire as the mediator of sacrifice and a pillar of cosmic order.
Mārkaṇḍeya reports a traditional doctrinal assertion preserved among the twice-born in hereditary transmission: they identify Agni as supreme in governance and cosmic support, framing the discussion in authoritative lineage-based teaching.
