sanskrit

Discernment concerns apparent as well as invisible things. Due to their supernatural and invisible results, the practice of yajna and other ritual ceremonies can only be known through the sacred texts. Since their nature is material and visible, actions such as abstaining from meat, because forbidden by the texts, are a matter of morality or dharma.
