भावार्थ:

वे अपने-आपको ही श्रेष्ठ मानने वाले घमण्डी पुरुष धन और मान के मद से युक्त होकर केवल नाममात्र के यज्ञों द्वारा पाखण्ड से शास्त्रविधिरहित यजन करते हैं॥17॥

Translation

Such self-conceited and stubborn people, full of pride and arrogant in their wealth, perform ostentatious sacrifices in name only, with no regard to the rules of the scriptures.

English Translation Of Sri Shankaracharya’s Sanskrit Commentary By Swami Gambirananda
