द्रव्यं मंत्रादिकं सर्वं हव्यं कव्यं च यन्मयम् । विना तेन कृतं सर्वमपवित्रं भविष्यति
dravyaṃ maṃtrādikaṃ sarvaṃ havyaṃ kavyaṃ ca yanmayam | vinā tena kṛtaṃ sarvamapavitraṃ bhaviṣyati
Toda substância ritual e todos os mantras e o mais—tanto as oferendas aos deuses (havya) quanto as oferendas aos ancestrais (kavya)—são de sua própria natureza. Sem Ele, tudo o que se fizer tornar-se-á impuro.
Devī (deduced continuation)
Tirtha: Kedāra (Kedāranātha)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Sages; within verse the yajña host/assembly
Scene: Close view of yajña materials—ghee, soma-like vessels, ladles, mantra palm-leaves—subtly suffused with Śiva’s presence; a contrast hinted: without Śiva, the same items appear dim/tainted.
Ritual purity is not only procedural; it depends on rightful orientation toward Śiva, the inner sanctifier of all offerings.
Within Kedārakhaṇḍa, the teaching supports Kedāra’s Mahātmya by grounding pilgrimage and worship in Śiva-centered purity.
Implicit: include Śiva’s worship/acknowledgment in all sacrificial acts, including havya (deva-offerings) and kavya (ancestral rites).
