As Wood Burns in Fire
Natural power of anything does not wait for other's devotion, such as fire or Amrit. Fire's nature is burning others, Amrit's nature is to make a living being immortal. They do not wait for the intention of others. His name does not only wash sins but also is the way to get Moksh.

Ashwashir
Dadheechi knows Yagya-Karm and Brahm Vidyaa. Knowing this, one day, Ashwinee Kumaar came to him and requested to teach them that Vidyaa. Dadheechi said - "At present I am busy, you may come some other time."  Ahwinee Kumaar went away. As they went, Indra came and said - "Muni Jee,  Ashwinee Kumaar are Vaidya, don't teach this Vidyaa to them, and if you don't obey me then I will cut your head." After saying this Indra went away. Then Ashwinee Kumaar came again to Dadheechi Jee at some other time to learn that Vidyaa. Dadheechi told everything about Indra's warning. At this Ashwinee Kumaar said - "We will cut your head and join a horse's head before Indra cuts your head. You teach us from horse's head, and then when Indra will come and cut your head, we will again join your own real head."  Muni accepted this. Thus because that knowledge was taught through a horse's mouth it was called "Ashwashiraa". And Muni was called Ashwashir.

Rishi Rin
There are three types of Rin on a human being when he comes in this world. Daksh Jee is talking about them. It is obligatory that a human being must pay all Rin before he dies. The three Rin are Dev Rin, Pitra Rin, and Brahm Rin. Dev Rin is paid by doing Sandhyaa Vandan and Yagya; Pitra Rin is paid by doing Pind Daan and Tarpan ; and Brahm Rin is paid by producing a son (means as Brahmaa has produced us, we should also extend our species further by producing children).

Shachee
Shachee, Maharshi Pulomaa's daughter, is Indra's wife. When Indra had the Paap of killing Vritraasur, and He hid in a lotus stem for one year, Raajaa Nahush took control of Swarg because of his Tap. Raajaa Nahush became proud of his Indra Pad, so one day he demanded to have Shachee. Shachee got very sad and thought of some way to save herself. She came up with a plan. She accepted his invitation on one condition that if he would come to her in a Paalakee lifted on the shoulders of Braahman then she will be his. Raajaa Nahush was blind with the pride of his Indra Pad, so he also accepted her condition. Immediately he called for Paalakee and ordered Braahman to carry him to Indra's palace. Counselors advised him not to do so, but he wouldn't listen to and he stayed firm on his intention. So Paalakee came with Braahman to lift it. He sat in that Paalakee (palanquin) and Braahman carried him towards Indra's palace. Braahman didn't have the habit to carry load, so they were going slowly. Raajaa was impatient, and under that impatience he asked Braahman to walk faster saying "Sarp, Sarp" means "go faster, go faster", but its another meaning is "snake". When Braahman could not walk faster he said it again hitting Agastya Muni with his foot. This time Agastya Muni gave him Shaap - "You are telling us "Sarp, Saarp" go, and become Sarp (snake)"  and Nahush became a Sarp (snake).
