दशरथ अर्थवाद एव This is a mere secondary matter or praise.
The word अर्थवाद is placed in opposition to विधि They are re
lative terms विधि is that part of the Veds which enjoins the
performance of a thing not known from any other source For
example स्वर्गकामो ज्योतिष्टोमेन यजेत is a विधि An अर्थवाद is a sente

is auxiliary to a विधि either by stating the good that would arise
from an observance of the विधि or the evil that would result from
its non observance or that gives some subsidiary information
