नारद–असित (देवल) संवादः — भूतप्रभवाप्यय, इन्द्रिय-गुण-विवेक, क्षेत्रज्ञ-तत्त्व
यज्ञाड़ान्यपि चैतानि यज्ञोक्तान्यनुपूर्वश: । विधिना विधियुक्तानि धारयन्ति परस्परम्
yajñādāny api caitāni yajñoktāny anupūrvaśaḥ | vidhinā vidhiyuktāni dhārayanti parasparam ||
Kapila dit : «Ceux-ci aussi—à commencer par le sacrifice (yajña) et le reste—sont les éléments successifs énoncés dans l’enseignement du yajña. Lorsque chacun est accompli selon sa règle propre et avec la discipline qui lui appartient, ils se soutiennent et se maintiennent mutuellement.»

Educational Q&A
Kapila emphasizes that dharmic practices taught in the context of yajña form an ordered system: when each is carried out with correct procedure and discipline, the practices reinforce each other and collectively uphold the moral-religious life.
In the Śānti Parva’s instructional dialogue, Kapila is explaining a structured sequence of yajña-related duties or components, stressing proper observance (vidhi) and their mutual support as part of a coherent ethical-ritual framework.
