Rudra-Śiva: Names, Two Natures, and the Logic of Epithets (रुद्रनाम-बहुरूपत्व-प्रकरणम्)
यजनं याजनं चैव तथा दानप्रतिग्रहौ । अध्यापनं चाध्ययनं षट्कर्मा धर्मभाग् द्विज:
yajanaṃ yājanaṃ caiva tathā dāna-pratigrahau | adhyāpanaṃ cādhyayanaṃ ṣaṭkarmā dharma-bhāg dvijaḥ ||
シュリー・マヘーシュヴァラは言った。「自ら祭祀(ヤジュニャ)を行い、他者のために祭祀を執行し、施しを与え、施しを受け、ヴェーダを教え、ヴェーダを学ぶ——これが六つの務めである。この六業に拠る二度生まれ(婆羅門)は、正しくダルマに与り、規律ある学びと導き、そして節度ある施受によって、社会の道徳と祭儀の秩序を支える。」
श्रीमहेश्वर उवाच
The verse defines the brāhmaṇa’s sixfold dharmic duties—sacrificing, officiating, giving, accepting, teaching, and studying—and states that one who lives by these becomes a legitimate bearer and beneficiary of dharma, supporting social and spiritual order through learning, ritual responsibility, and regulated generosity.
Śrī Maheśvara is instructing about dharma by outlining the normative conduct (ṣaṭkarman) expected of a dvija/brāhmaṇa, presenting a concise rule of life that links personal discipline and public service to participation in dharma.
