Rejecting the supreme Lord severs one from Vedic dharma; true religiosity is inseparable from reverence to Īśvara.

Vastrāpathakṣetra (Prabhāsa) provides the māhātmya setting for this dharma-warning.

What ritualistic prescription is mentioned?

Implicit: do not exclude Parameśvara from worship in yajña; maintain Vedic integrity (trayī).
