तत्र वेदविदो राजंश्नक्रु: कर्माणि याजका: । परिक्रमन्त: सर्वज्ञा विधिवत् साधुशिक्षितम्
tatra vedavido rājanś cakruḥ karmāṇi yājakāḥ | parikramantaḥ sarvajñā vidhivat sādhu-śikṣitam ||
在那里,王啊,通晓吠陀、精熟全套仪轨的主祭祭司,使一切祭事圆满施行。他们环行四方,诸般皆知的礼仪师依循法度,按贤善而训练有素的传统所传之教,准确地执行并督察诸项祭献之举。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
The verse emphasizes dharma as correct practice: sacred acts should be performed by qualified Veda-knowers, following established rules (vidhi) and the training transmitted by virtuous teachers, so that power and kingship remain anchored in disciplined, ethical tradition.
Vaiśampāyana describes the sacrificial setting where expert priests oversee and execute the prescribed rites. They move around the ritual ground, ensuring every action is completed properly and in full accordance with Vedic procedure.
