अनादाता च दाता च दांतः स्वाध्यायतत्परः । वैतानिकं च जुहुयादग्निहोत्रं यथाविधि
anādātā ca dātā ca dāṃtaḥ svādhyāyatatparaḥ | vaitānikaṃ ca juhuyādagnihotraṃ yathāvidhi
ينبغي أن لا يقبل العطايا غير اللازمة، ومع ذلك يكون مُعطيًا؛ ضابطًا لنفسه مواظبًا على تلاوة الفيدا؛ وأن يقدّم على الوجه المقرر قرابين الفايتانيكا ويقيم الأَغنيهوترا وفق الشريعة الطقسية.
Skanda
Tirtha: Kāśī (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A disciplined vānaprastha performs agnihotra at dawn: ladle poised over the fire, Vedic text nearby; he offers with precision, while a simple donation of food/water is prepared for a passerby—showing ‘not a taker, yet a giver’.
Purity of motive: the forest-dweller restrains desire, studies sacred knowledge, and sustains worship through disciplined ritual.
No tirtha is specified in this verse; it is normative dharma instruction within the Kāśī-khaṇḍa.
Perform Vaitānika offerings and Agnihotra in the proper manner; maintain svādhyāya.
