Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes steadfast adherence to prescribed dharma (vidhi) in performing socially and ethically significant rites—here, marriage-related duties—undertaken with resolve and without deviation.
Śaunaka speaks of his determination to undertake efforts connected with marriage rites, addressing revered elders/forefathers, and declares he will perform the act strictly according to the proper procedure, not in any other way.
