द्रव्यं मंत्रादिकं सर्वं हव्यं कव्यं च यन्मयम् । विना तेन कृतं सर्वमपवित्रं भविष्यति
dravyaṃ maṃtrādikaṃ sarvaṃ havyaṃ kavyaṃ ca yanmayam | vinā tena kṛtaṃ sarvamapavitraṃ bhaviṣyati
تمام درویہ اور منتر وغیرہ—دیوتاؤں کے لیے ہَوْیَ اور پِتروں کے لیے کَوْیَ—اسی کی ذات سے ہیں۔ اس کے بغیر جو کچھ کیا جائے گا وہ سب ناپاک ہو جائے گا۔
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).
