वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse frames the Vaiṣṇava sacrifice as ‘satpuruṣocita’—fit for the virtuous—linking religious practice to moral worth and presenting devotion to Viṣṇu as a dharmic, ethically appropriate act rather than mere ceremony.
Vaiśampāyana, as narrator, identifies and commends a specific rite—the Vaiṣṇava-yajña—addressing his listener and characterizing the sacrifice as proper for noble persons, thereby elevating its status within the ongoing discourse.
