Educational Q&A
Sacrifice (yajña) rests on a complete ecology of supports—natural resources (plants, animals, earth, directions), ritual substances (ghee, milk, curd, oblations), and inner and cosmic conditions (faith and time). The verse teaches that righteous action is sustained by both outer means and inner intention, within the order of time.
In Kapila’s discourse in the Śānti Parva, he enumerates the foundational components that make yajña possible, expanding the listener’s view from a mere fire-ritual to a broader moral and cosmic framework in which sacrifice is embedded.
