यथा सर्वं सुविहितं न किञ्चित्परिहीयते।।1.13.15।। तथा भवन्त: कुर्वन्तु प्रीतिस्निग्धेन चेतसा।
yathā sarvaṃ suvihitaṃ na kiñcit parihīyate || 1.13.15 || tathā bhavantaḥ kurvantu prītisnigdhena cetasā |
ਜਿਵੇਂ ਸਭ ਕੁਝ ਸੁਚੱਜੇ ਢੰਗ ਨਾਲ ਸਜਾਇਆ ਜਾਵੇ ਅਤੇ ਰਤਾ ਭਰ ਵੀ ਕੁਝ ਅਧੂਰਾ ਨਾ ਰਹੇ, ਤਿਵੇਂ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਸਭ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਿ ਤੇ ਸਨੇਹ ਨਾਲ ਨਰਮ ਹੋਏ ਚਿੱਤ ਨਾਲ ਇਹ ਕਾਰਜ ਕਰੋ।
Every thing should be well-managed. In whatever manner you do, not even the smallest things be left out. Carry out the work with love and affection in your hearts".
Dharma is both competence and compassion: sacred duties must be executed completely and with a benevolent attitude.
Vasiṣṭha gives final operational guidance so the sacrifice proceeds without omissions or harshness.
Sāvadhānatā (carefulness) joined with dayā (kindness): precision without coldness.
