एतत्कर्मविधानने मधुकाष्ठस्य सुन्दरी ॥ धर्मसंस्थापनार्थाय एतत्ते कथितं मया
etat karmavidhānena madhukāṣṭhasya sundarī || dharmasaṃsthāpanārthāya etat te kathitaṃ mayā
हे सुंदर, मैंने तुम्हे मधुका लकड़ी का पूरा तरीका बताया है। यह धरम को मजबूत करने के लिए है। मैंने यह सब तुम्हे इसलिए बताया।
Varāha
It explicitly frames ritual procedure as a means of maintaining social-ethical order (dharma), a common Purāṇic linkage between practice and normative life.
No location is named; the verse focuses on purpose and instruction.
Ritual is presented as serving a broader ethical-social aim—supporting dharma—rather than being merely performative.
