Meaning

Sacrifice done without proper method, without sharing food, without sacred words, without giving the priest his due, and without faith, is called tamasic.

हिंदी में अर्थ

जो यज्ञ बिना विधि के, बिना अन्न बाँटे, बिना मंत्रों के, बिना दक्षिणा दिए और बिना श्रद्धा के किया जाए, उसे तामसी कहा जाता है।
