यज्ञशिष्टामृतभुजो यान्ति ब्रह्म सनातनम् |
नायं लोकोऽस्त्ययज्ञस्य कुतोऽन्यः कुरुसत्तम ||४- ३१||
O Best among the Kurus, those who partake of the nectar that is left over after the yagna, reach the eternal Brahman. For the one who does not perform yagna, nothing is gained in this world. How then can anything be gained in any other world?
एवं बहुविधा यज्ञा वितता ब्रह्मणो मुखे |
कर्मजान्विद्धि तान्सर्वानेवं ज्ञात्वा विमोक्ष्यसे ||४- ३२||
In this manner, many and varied yagnas, religious disciplines, are very elaborately mentioned in the words of the vedas. Understand them all to be born of karma and therefore anatma. Knowing thus you will be liberated.
