Yajñakṛt (यज्ञकृत्) refers to a “sacrificer”, according to the Vṛṣasārasaṃgraha: A Sanskrit text of twenty-four chapters contained in the Śivadharma corpus dealing with Dharma (religious duties).—Accordingly, [while discussing the Śivāṇḍa in verse 2.16]: “There is no recitation there or daily rituals, nobody performs the fire sacrifices and there is no sacrificer (yajñakṛt). There are neither religious observances, nor austerities. And there no ‘animal hell’ [or: ‘neither animal existence nor hell’]”.
