Dévtā/Divine Subject: Agni, the one leads to light

CHHAND/METER: Trishŧup

This Mantr is very important for the persons who want to live even according to the least/minimum norms of Hinduism.

It requires him/her to preach the Seven Maryādās at least, to the extent that every one of them becomes as if his/her tongue itself: ‘Saptjihvāh’.

Moreover, he/she must not be ‘Agni’ only, a person leading to light.

He/she must be a ‘Vahni’ ‘Shield’ to the persons who come to Hinduism.

He/she must be a shield to the extent Lord Ram became to Vibhīshañ.

When Rāvañ attacked Vibhīshañ, Lord Ram removed Vibhīshañ from his place, replaced him himself, and faced the attack of Rāvañ on Vibhīshañ, himself, thus.

Lord Kr’shñ is also famous to say:

‘Yogxémam vahāmyaham’.

‘I bear the welfare.’

This is what our Ācharañ Nāyaks understood and followed this Mantr.

Who else, other than those, can tell us what is meant by ‘Kr’ñvanto Vishvamāryam’, ‘Dharmsantānam’ and ‘Dharmsansthāpan’.
