Educational Q&A
Ritual action should be grounded in authorized tradition (āgama) rather than personal whim; even a king’s sacrifice is to be conducted according to established dharmic procedure.
The narrator Vaiśampāyana reports an instruction or permission: if the addressed person agrees, the officiants should carry out the intended sacrifice following the proper traditional rules.
