Tarkshya said: O beautiful lady, tell me who ask you the rules of the Agnihotra as explained in the Vedas. I shall learn from you the timehonoured rules for perpetually keeping the sacred fire.
तार्क्ष्य उवाच माचक्ष्व मे पृच्छतश्चानुरूपे। त्वयानुशिष्टोऽहमिहाद्य विद्यां यदग्निहोत्रस्य व्रतं पुराणम्॥
