कुर्वध्वरस्योद्धरणं हतस्य भो: त्वयासमाप्तस्य मनो प्रजापते: । न यत्र भागं तव भागिनो ददु: कुयाजिनो येन मखो निनीयते ॥ ५० ॥
kurv adhvarasyoddharaṇaṁ hatasya bhoḥ tvayāsamāptasya mano prajāpateḥ na yatra bhāgaṁ tava bhāgino daduḥ kuyājino yena makho ninīyate
اے प्रभو شیو، پرजاپتی کے मन سے شروع ہوا یہ یَجْن آپ کے ہاتھوں ٹوٹ پھوٹ کر ادھورا رہ گیا ہے؛ اب آپ اس کا اُدھّار کیجیے۔ جن بدکار پجاریوں نے آپ کو آپ کا حصہ نہ دیا، اسی سبب یَجْن برباد ہوا؛ لہٰذا प्रभو، اپنا حقّی حصہ قبول فرمائیے۔

Any practice—ritual, charity, or discipline—becomes fruitful when centered on devotion and proper respect for God and His devotees; otherwise it risks becoming empty formality and conflict-producing pride.
