Without precept, without distribution of food, without mantra, without donation to the priest, without faith — such sacrifice is declared tāmasika.

Tāmasika sacrifice: multiple deficiencies. Vidhi-hīna — without precept, done incorrectly. Asṛṣṭānna — without food distribution. Mantra-hīna — without correct mantra vibration. Adakṣiṇa — without donation (dakṣiṇā) to the officiating priest.

Śraddhā-virahita — without faith, without conviction, mechanical or forced. Paricakṣate — is declared/proclaimed. This is empty ritualism, superstition or act without comprehension, without bhāva.
