अपि यद्वैश्वदेवीयं कर्म किंचिद्द्विजन्मनाम् । वसोर्द्धाराविहीनं च निष्फलं संभविष्यति
api yadvaiśvadevīyaṃ karma kiṃciddvijanmanām | vasorddhārāvihīnaṃ ca niṣphalaṃ saṃbhaviṣyati
Dẫu là nghi lễ Vaiśvadeva nào do hàng lưỡng sinh (dvija) cử hành, nếu thiếu Vasordhārā thì cũng sẽ trở nên vô hiệu, không kết quả.
Brahmā
Type: kshetra
Scene: A didactic scene: a dvija prepares a vaiśvadeva offering; an elder priest points to the missing vasordhārā setup, indicating the rite’s fruitlessness without the continuous dhārā; the mood is cautionary.
Dharma is not merely intention; prescribed completeness in worship matters, and core offerings are treated as essential for fruit.
The injunction is framed for rites performed in the chapter’s sacred locale; the verse itself does not name the tirtha.
Vaiśvadeva and related dvija rites should not be performed without vasordhārā; otherwise they are declared niṣphala (ineffective).
