कल्मषापहर-कीर्तनम् / Kīrtana for the Removal of Impurity
यज्वानश्न तथैवान्ये निहॉमाश्ष तथापरे । केन कर्मविपाकेन भवन्तीह वदस्व मे
yajvānaś ca tathaivānye nihomāś ca tathāpare | kena karmavipākena bhavantīha vadasva me ||
ಕೆಲವರು ಯಜ್ಞಶೀಲರು; ಇನ್ನೂ ಕೆಲವರು ಹೋಮ-ಯಜ್ಞಗಳಿಂದ ವಿಮುಖರಾಗಿರುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಯಾವ ಕರ್ಮವಿಪಾಕದಿಂದ ಇಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾನವರಿಗೆ ಇಂತಹ ಪರಸ್ಪರವಿರೋಧಿ ಸ್ವಭಾವಗಳು ಉಂಟಾಗುತ್ತವೆ? ನನಗೆ ಹೇಳು.

Educational Q&A
The verse frames a dharmic inquiry: differences in religious and ethical inclination—such as devotion to yajña and homa versus aversion to them—are to be understood through karma-vipāka, the maturation of past actions shaping present tendencies.
Śrīmaheśvara poses a question about human diversity in ritual disposition: why some are naturally inclined toward sacrificial duties while others neglect or oppose them, and he asks for an explanation in terms of the results of karma.
