यज्ञशास्त्रमें क्रमश: वर्णित ये सम्पूर्ण यज्ञांग विधि-पूर्वक यज्ञमें प्रयुक्त हो एक दूसरेको धारण करते हैं ।।
āmnāyam ārṣaṁ paśyāmi yasmin vedāḥ pratiṣṭhitāḥ | taṁ vidvāṁso 'nupaśyanti brāhmaṇasyānudarśanāt ||
カピラは言った。「私は、聖仙(リシ)によって語り伝えられ編まれた古き伝承(アームナーヤ)を見ている。そこにヴェーダは堅く据えられている。儀礼の行為を導く権威あるブラーフマナ部によって裏づけられているがゆえに、学識ある者たちはその聖仙の教えを正当な規範として認めるのだ。」
कपिल उवाच
Kapila affirms a hierarchy of scriptural authority: the seer-transmitted tradition (āmnāya) is trustworthy because the Vedas are grounded in it and because it is corroborated by the Brāhmaṇa portions that prescribe and explain ritual action; thus the learned accept it as pramāṇa (a valid standard).
In the didactic setting of Śānti Parva, Kapila is explaining how wise people determine what counts as authoritative dharma/ritual teaching, pointing to the continuity between Veda, Brāhmaṇa guidance, and the received seerly tradition.
