विधिहीनमसृष्टान्नं मन्त्रहीनमदक्षिणम् | श्रद्धाविरहितं यज्ञं तामसं परिचक्षते
vidhihīnamasṛṣṭānnaṃ mantrahīnamadakṣiṇam . śraddhāvirahitaṃ yajñaṃ tāmasaṃ paricakṣate
他们宣称，那违背训示、不分发食物、不使用曼陀罗（Mantra）、不向祭司献礼、且缺乏信心的祭祀，是惰性（塔马斯）的。
They declare that sacrifice as 'done through tamas' which is contrary to injunction, in which food is not distributed, in which mantras are not used, in which offerings are not made to priests, and which is devoid of faith.
惰性（塔马斯）之人所行的祭祀从不考虑既定的仪式或咒语。在这种祭祀中，你会发现各种不规范之处。没有分发食物，没有按照经典规定向祭司支付费用。曼陀罗（Mantra）没有正确地念诵，所吟诵的赞美诗在发音和重音上都有缺陷，有时甚至根本没有吟诵。这种祭祀缺乏信心。进行这种祭祀的人不会获得任何功德。
A sacrifice performed by a Tamasic man is never guided by any consideration for the prescribed rites or incantation. You will find every irregularity in this sacrifice. No food is distributed. No fees which are prescribed in the scriptures are given to the priests. The Mantras are not changed properly. The hymns recited are defective in utterance and accent. Sometimes there is no recitation at all. There is no faith. A man who performs such a sacrifice does not get any merit.
