Chapter 17 — Shraddha Traya Vibhaga Yoga • Verse 17.13
विधिहीनमसृष्टान्नं मन्त्रहीनमदक्षिणम् ।
श्रद्धाविरहितं यज्ञं तामसं परिचक्षते ॥
Without rule, without food offered, without mantras, without gift to priests, without faith—the sacrifice is called tamasic.
विधि‑हीन, असृष्टान्न, मन्त्र‑हीन, अदक्षिण, श्रद्धा‑रहित—यज्ञ तामस कहलाता।
Life Lesson:
Form without spirit is darkness.
रूप बिना भाव—तमस।
