Adhyaya 34 — Madālāsā’s Instruction on Sadācāra (Householder Conduct, Purity, and Daily Rites)
एवमेभिः सदा तीर्थैर्देवानां पितृभिः सह । सदा कार्याणि कुर्वोत नान्यतीर्थेन कर्हिचित् ॥
evamebhiḥ sadā tīrthairdevānāṃ pitṛbhiḥ saha | sadā kāryāṇi kurvota nānyatīrthena karhicit ||
Maka demikianlah, sentiasa dengan tīrtha yang telah ditetapkan ini, bagi para dewa dan bersama para Pitṛ, hendaklah upacara dilakukan setiap masa—jangan sekali-kali pada bila-bila waktu menggunakan tīrtha yang lain.

The verse insists on consistency and fidelity: sacred action is safeguarded by precise forms, preventing casual improvisation where the rite’s intent and recipient-differentiation could be confused.
Ācāra/Dharma instruction; not pañcalakṣaṇa.
Exclusive tīrtha usage preserves distinct ‘currents’ of offering—deva and pitṛ channels remain unmixed. Symbolically, it maintains clarity between ascent (deva-oriented) and ancestral continuity (pitṛ-oriented) in the practitioner’s subtle economy.
