I find this collection of verses interesting.In 6.4 the 'forest dweller' is permitted to take1 sacrificial fire and utensils with him.In 6.23 he is instructed to use 5 fires and endure pañcatapa during summer.In 6.23 he is instructed to increase the level of discomfort, leading tothe instruction in 6.25 to internalise the 3 sacred fires and then subsist without fire (he brought from home).agnihotraṃ samādāya gṛhyaṃ cāgniparicchadam
grāmād araṇyaṃ niḥsṛtya nivasen niyatendriyaḥ // Manu_6.4
grīṣme pañcatapās tu syād varṣāsv abhrāvakāśikaḥ
ārdravāsās tu hemante kramaśo vardhayaṃs tapaḥ // Manu_6.23
upaspṛśaṃs triṣavaṇaṃ pitṝn devāṃś ca tarpayet
tapaś caraṃś cogrataraṃ śoṣayed deham ātmanaḥ // Manu_6.24
agnīn ātmani vaitānān samāropya yathāvidhi
anagnir aniketaḥ syān munir mūlaphalāśanaḥ // Manu_6.25I'm specifically wondering if there is instruction made explicit (somewhere) about the route through which fire is internalised and how one might measure success of the process by which internalisation occurs.Thank you.All the best,パトリック マッカートニーPatrick McCartney, PhDResearch Affiliate - Organization for Identity and Cultural Development (OICD), KyotoResearch Associate - Nanzan University Anthropological Institute, Nagoya, JapanVisiting Fellow - South and South-east Asian Studies Department, Australian National UniversityMember - South Asia Research Institute (SARI), Australian National University
