While interpreting the Veda Mantra , we have to respect the pada order. We should not do padaccheda in order to give new interpretations.
Example: Rg Veda Mantra -
| अ॒ग्निः पूर्वे॑भि॒र्ऋषि॑भि॒रीड्यो॒ नूत॑नैरु॒त|स दे॒वाँ एह व॑क्षति|| | 1.1.2 |
The pada order is agnih + pUrvebhih + Rshibhih ........
This means that the reference is about ancient Rshis like Bhrugu, Angiras and so on.
If you do a padaccheda as follows, it is not acceptable according to tradition.
agnih + pUrve + bhir + Rshi + bhir ........
Hence it is most important for us to tread the proper path shown by the ancient bhasyakAras by duly respecting the veda mantra pada pAtha order.
