— devoid of rule, with no food distributed ; — without mantras, without gifts to priests ; — the sacrifice bereft of faith ; — they declare to be tāmasic

The sacrifice devoid of rule, with no food distributed, without mantras, without gifts to the priests, and bereft of faith — that they declare to be tāmasic.
