अभिसन्धाय तु फलं दम्भार्थमपि चैव यत् । इज्यते भरतश्रेष्ठ तं यज्ञं विद्धि राजसम् ॥ १२ ॥
"Oh Best of Bharats, know that the sacrifice which is offered for seeking its fruits and for ostentation is Rajasik” - 12 विधिहीनमसृष्टान्नं मन्त्रहीनमदक्षिणम् । श्रद्धाविरहितं यज्ञं तामसं परिचक्षते ॥ १३ ॥
"And the one which is contrary to the rules and in which food is not distributed, which is devoid of Mantras (good wishes) and faith is Tamasik”- 13
देवद्धिजगुरुप्राज्ञपूजनं शौचमार्जवम् । ब्रहाचर्यमाहिंसा च शारीरं तप उच्यते ॥ १४ ॥
