Pranam Rightly said though written slakenely. The manusmriti speaks as " त्रिणाचिकेतः पञ्चाग्निस्त्रिसुपर्णः षडङ्गवित् ।
ब्रह्मदेयात्मसन्तानो ज्येष्ठसामग एव च ॥ १८५ ॥3.185
*triṇāciketaḥ pañcāgnistrisuparṇaḥ ṣaḍaṅgavit* |
*brahmadeyātmasantāno jyeṣṭhasāmaga eva ca* || 185 ||
One who has learnt the “Triṇāciketa,” one who knows the science of the five
fires, one who has learnt the “Trisuparṇa,” one who knows the six-limbed
science, one who is born of a woman married in the “Brahma (Brāhma)” form,
one who sings the Jyeṣṭha-sāmas.—(185)
‘*Triṇāciketa*’ is the name of a portion of the Yajurveda, beginning with
the words ‘*pītodakā jagdhatṛṇā*; and the man is called ‘*triṇāciketa*’ by
the circumstance of his having learnt that portion. Others, however,
explain that there are certain observances prescribed for those who are
learning the *Tṛṇāciketa* Mantras; and the person who has kept these
observances is called ‘*Triṇāciketa*.’ Here also the term is applied to the
man only figuratively.
It should not be thought that merely this (fact of having learnt a certain
portion of the Veda) makes one a ‘Sanctifier of Company;’ what is meant is,
that when the other qualifications of being learned in the Veda and the
like are present, the circumstance here mentioned forms an additional
qualification as indicating the character of being a ‘Sanctifier of
Company.’
‘*Five fires*,’ ‘*Pañcāgnividyā*,’ is the name of a certain teaching
occurring in the *Chāndogya Upaniṣad* (5.10.9), the reward whereof has been
described in the words ‘*stenohiraṇyasya*, etc.’ The man is also so called
by the circumstance of his having learnt the said teaching, as in the case
of the previous word.( I have attached the word doc for those who would
like to read which is not a ritual like 5 agnis of garhapatya {agni at a
grhastasrama till death carried on etc } but a penance from birth to death
and where one goes after the death. )
‘*Trisuparṇa*’ is the name of a *mantra* occurring in the *Taittirīya Veda*,
and also in the *Ṛgveda*, beginning with the words ‘*ye brāhmaṇās
trisuparṇam paṭhanti*; etc.’
The ‘*six-limbed science*’ is the Veda; one who has learnt this.
One who is born of a woman who has been married in the “Brāhma” form,—*i.e*.,
who has been given to a bridegroom brought home by invitation.
‘*One who sings the Jyeṣṭha Sāmas*;’—The ‘*Jyeṣṭhadohas*’ are
*Sāman-mantras* found in the *Āraṇyaka*; one who sings these is called ‘
*Jyeṣṭhasāmaga*.’ Here also the man is so called by reason of his singing
the *Sāman* and keeping the observances in relation to it.—(185)This verse
is quoted in *Madanapārijāta* (p. 557), which supplies the following
explanations:—‘*Triṇāciketaḥ*’—‘one who studies that portion of the
Yajurveda which is called the *Triṇāciketas*, and who keeps the observances
connected therewith’;—‘*Pañcāgniḥ*’—‘one who maintains the five Fires—(1)
*Gārhopatya*, (2) *Dakṣiṇāgni*, (3) *Āhavanīya*, (4) *Sabhya* and (5)
*Āvasatha*’;—‘*Trisuparṇa*’—is the name of a portion of the Yajurveda
(Medhātithi says it is a *mantra* found in the *Taittirīya* and the *Ṛgveda*);
and he who knows that text and its meaning is also called by the same
name;—‘*ṣaḍaṅgavit*’—‘one who knows the texts.and meanings of the six
subsidiary sciences, *Śikṣā, Kalpa* and the
rest’;—‘*Brāhmadeyānusantānaḥ*’—‘one
who is born of a mother married in the Brāhma form’;—‘*Jyeṣṭhasāmagaḥ*’—‘one
who is constantly singing Sāma hymns,’ or ‘he who keeps the observance
known as *Jyeṣṭha-sāma*, and knows the Sāma texts known under that name’.
‘*Triṇāciketaḥ*’—see Āpastamba, 2.17.22.
‘*Pañcāgniḥ*’—‘Knowing the Pañcāgnividyā, taught in the Chāndogya Upaniṣad
4.10 *et. seq*.’ (Medhātithi and Nārāyaṇa);—‘who keeps the five Fires’
(‘others’ in Medhātithi, Govindarāja, Kullūka and Rāghavānanda).
‘*Trisuparṇa*’.—‘One who knows the text of Taittirīya Āraṇyaka 10.38-40’
(Medhātithi, Nārāyaṇa and Nandana);—‘one who knows Ṛgveda 10.114.3-5’
2 The seven agnis cited is 7 among the 32 agnis recirted in the vedas.
These 7 is special in KYV aranyaka or Brahamana because AGNISTOMA OR
AGNICHAYANA are mentioned in that Brahamanam 3rd part chapters 10,11 and 12
in details where the construction of the agnichayana in differnt shapes,
are virtually relating to SARASWATI RIVER CULTURE; AS EXCAVATED by the
Indian archaeological dept and a treatise is written by its director then
Mrt Kalyana raman in detail. The vedas proved by the Arch.Dept as
perfect. Mathematical precision was rendered in details which I shall send
later. KR IRS 8422
