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.
