यज्ञादिकाश्च ये धर्मा विना यस्यार्चनं वृथा । दक्षोऽत्र सत्यदृष्टांतः कस्तस्मात्परमो भवेत्
yajñādikāśca ye dharmā vinā yasyārcanaṃ vṛthā | dakṣo'tra satyadṛṣṭāṃtaḥ kastasmātparamo bhavet
یَجْن وغیرہ سب مذہبی اعمال اس کی پوجا کے بغیر بےثمر ہیں؛ یہاں دکش اس کی سچی مثال ہے—اس سے برتر کون ہو سکتا ہے؟
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta), narrating to the sages (deduced from Māheśvarakhaṇḍa context)
Ritual without reverence becomes empty; true dharma requires honoring the Supreme (Śiva) with devotion.
No specific tīrtha is named; the verse references the Dakṣa-yajña narrative as a moral exemplar.
Implicit instruction: include Śiva-arcana (worship) as essential to yajña and other dharmic rites.
