श्रद्धाहीनं मन्त्रहीनं पात्रहीनमथापि वा । द्रव्यहीनं कालहीनं मनसः स्वास्थ्यवर्जितम्
śraddhāhīnaṃ mantrahīnaṃ pātrahīnamathāpi vā | dravyahīnaṃ kālahīnaṃ manasaḥ svāsthyavarjitam
(Even if the rite is) devoid of faith, devoid of mantras, lacking a proper recipient; or lacking resources, lacking proper time, and performed without mental steadiness—
Skanda (deduced from Dvārakā Māhātmya narrative style)
Tirtha: Gomatī–Samudra Saṅgama (Dvārakā)
Type: sangam
Scene: A sequence-like tableau showing obstacles: empty offering plate (dravya-hīna), absent priest/mantra scroll (mantra-hīna), anxious mind (manasaḥ asvasthya), and then the pilgrim approaching the luminous confluence for remedy.
It lists the common deficiencies that weaken ritual performance, setting up the teaching that the tīrtha’s sanctity can still complete the offering.
The verse is part of the Gomatī–Udadhisaṅgama praise within Dvārakā Māhātmya.
It enumerates what is ideally required for śrāddha (faith, mantra, worthy recipient, resources, proper time, mental composure).
