श्रीशुक उवाच प्रतिनन्द्य हरेराज्ञामुशना भगवानिति । यज्ञच्छिद्रं समाधत्त बलेर्विप्रर्षिभि: सह ॥ १८ ॥
śrī-śuka uvāca pratinandya harer ājñām uśanā bhagavān iti yajña-cchidraṁ samādhatta baler viprarṣibhiḥ saha
シュカデーヴァ・ゴースヴァーミーは続けた。「このようにして、大いなる力をもつウシャナー（シュクラーチャーリヤ）は、ハリの命令を深い敬意をもって受け入れ、最上のブラーフマナ聖仙たちと共に、バリ・マハーラージャの祭祀に生じた欠けを補い正し始めた。」
FAQs
This verse states that when a defect (yajña-chidra) arises, qualified brāhmaṇas and sages perform proper atonement rites to rectify it—here done for Bali’s sacrifice under Hari’s sanction.
In the narrative of Bali and Vāmana, Uśanā ultimately acknowledges Viṣṇu’s supreme will; therefore he consents and proceeds with the corrective ritual measures for the sacrifice.
When a sincere spiritual effort contains flaws, one should not abandon dharma; instead, seek guidance from qualified teachers, accept responsibility, and correct the error through proper, humble remedial action.
