of Vidhivada. But if it illustrates Vidhivada, the rest of the anusthānas like agnihotra would be of no avail,
In the sentence " esa vaha prathamo yajno yo'gnistomaah, yo'nenaniṣṭavanyena yajate sa gartamabhyapatat "the sacrifice of animals is censured and hence it illustrates the nindarthavada.

For, wherever there are kartā and karya there ought to be karana also. Like a forceps in the case of a blacksmith and iron-rod, Karman is used as an instrument in the accomplishment of Karays like saira by Atman. So, you shall have to accept the existence of Karman.

Hence, leave all the doubts aside and know it for certain that Karman does exist and Karman is the only instrument to accomplish Karyas like sarira etc.
