As the great Rishis chanted their mantras, each word seemed to change the atmosphere in profound ways. Sometimes, it felt powerful, then filled with divine grace, and at other times, it brought feelings of fear, love, and intense heat. Emotions ran high, leaving everyone at the yagna feeling a mix of fear, worry, and awe.

But amidst all these ups and downs, Krishna, Balram, and Kirthi stayed calm, their peaceful presence grounding the space. After an hour or two of intense chanting, the mantras stopped, and Kirthi opened her eyes. But this time, something was different; her eyes shone with a golden light, like flames flickering within them. The Sapta Rishis shared knowing looks, understanding that a crucial moment had arrived.

Rishi Atri's gaze rested upon Kirthi as he addressed her, conveying the solemnity of the moment. "Putri, now is the time for the Ahuti, where we offer sacrifices into the sacred fire. Through these offerings to Agnidev, not only he but all divine beings shall bear witness to your emotions, strength, wisdom, aura, weakness, and love." Kirthi nodded in acknowledgment, her demeanor poised and reverent. "Awashya, Rishivar," she replied, signaling her readiness. With that, the Ahuti commenced, marking the beginning of a sacred exchange between mortal and divine.
