The Unfaltering Flame: Agni at the Cosmic Threshold
Secondary/Local Myth (The theology of Agni's role in sustaining Dharma across Pralaya is a synthetic theme found throughout the major Puranic cycles (e.g., Bhagavata Purana, Shiva Purana), but this specific dialogue structure and dramatic sequence are highly elaborated and not found as a direct, quotable verse in a single primary source.)
During the cataclysmic dissolution (Pralaya), Rishi Kavi witnesses the cosmic laws falter. He observes Agni, the sacred fire, burning with an impossible, steady intensity. Agni reveals that his flame is not simply an element, but the eternal, self-sustaining Truth that anchors the cosmic veil, ensuring that existence, though dissolved, retains a stable boundary for the next cycle of creation.

Moral & Divine Teaching
True Dharma, like Agni's flame, is not dependent upon visible forms or transient laws. It is the unwavering, foundational truth that persists even when all else appears to dissolve into chaos.
