ये पाकयज्ञाश्चत्वारो विधियज्ञसमन्विता: ।
सर्वे ते जपयज्ञस्य कलां नार्हन्ति षोडशीम् ।। (मनुस्मृति २.८६)
The meaning: The four ritualistic sacrifices [namely Vaishvadev, Balikarma, Nityashraddha and offering food to guests (Atithibhojan)] do not match even the 16th grade of the sacrificial fire of chanting (japayadnya).
