सत्यात्‌ प्रच्यवमानानां संकल्पश्च तथा भवेत्‌ | ततो यज्ञ: प्रतायेत सत्यस्यैवावधारणात्‌,वास्तवमें जो सत्यस्वरूप परमात्मासे च्युत हो गये हैं, उन्हींका वैसा संकल्प होता है। फिर सत्यरूप वेदके प्रामाण्यका निश्चय करके ही उनके द्वारा यज्ञोंका विस्तार (अनुष्ठान) किया जाता है

Educational Q&A

Intention (saṅkalpa) mirrors one’s alignment with Truth: when people deviate from satya, their resolves become distorted; and even ritual action becomes valid and fruitful only when grounded in a firm commitment to Truth and the Veda’s truthful authority.

Sanatsujāta continues instructing on dharma and inner discipline, explaining that sacrificial practice is not self-justifying: it must rest on truthful conviction. He links ethical integrity (satya) to the legitimacy and expansion of yajña.
