କେହି ପକ୍ୱାନ୍ନରେ ପୁଷ୍ଟ ଅଙ୍ଗ ହୋଇ ଯଜ୍ଞପାତ୍ରଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ ଚୁର୍ଣ୍ଣ କଲେ; ଆଉ କେହି ବଳିଷ୍ଠ ଭୁଜାବାନ୍ କ୍ରୋଧେ ସ୍ରୁଚିର ଦଣ୍ଡଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ ଭାଙ୍ଗିଦେଲେ।
Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda → Agastya)
Scene: A chaotic sacrificial arena: well-fed, strong-limbed attendants and fierce beings smash yajña-vessels; ladles and handles splinter; offerings scatter; priests recoil as the rite collapses.
Ritual power without reverence for Maheśvara becomes hollow; arrogance in sacrifice invites downfall.
The verse sits in the Kāśī Khaṇḍa’s teaching framework; the immediate line narrates Dakṣa-yajña rather than naming a distinct Kāśī tīrtha.
No prescription; it describes the breaking of yajña implements, emphasizing the limits of ritualism divorced from devotion.
