FAQs
Dharma in yajña includes proper recognition and allotment (bhāga); ritual order mirrors cosmic order, and omissions become matters to be resolved righteously.
The verse remains within the chapter’s yajña-at-kṣetra setting; it does not name the tīrtha directly.
It references yajñabhāga (allocation of sacrificial portions), implying the need for correct distribution, though it does not list offerings or mantras.
