अहं हि सर्वयज्ञानां भोक्ता च प्रभुरेव च | न तु मामभिजानन्ति तत्त्वेनातश्च्यवन्ति ते
ahaṃ hi sarvayajñānāṃ bhoktā ca prabhureva ca . na tu māmabhijānanti tattvenātaścyavanti te
Ich bin wahrlich der Empfänger und der Herr aller Opfer; doch sie erkennen Mich nicht in Wirklichkeit. Darum fallen sie.
I indeed am the enjoyer as also the Lord of all sacrifices; but they do not know Me in reality. Therefore they fall.
Sie wissen nicht, dass Ich, das Höchste Selbst, der Empfänger und Herr aller in den Veden und Smritis (Verhaltensregeln) vorgeschriebenen Opfer bin. Da Ich der innere Lenker dieser Welt bin, bin Ich der Herr aller Opfer. Ich bin Anfang und Ende jedes Opfers, doch diese Menschen verehren andere Götter in Unwissenheit. Da sie Mich nicht erkennen und ihre Handlungen Mir nicht weihen, kehren sie in diese sterbliche Welt zurück, nachdem ihre Verdienste auf der erreichten Ebene erschöpft sind.
They do not know that I? the Supreme Self? am the enjoyer of all sacrifices enjoined in the Vedas and the Smritis (the codes of right conduct) and the Lord of all sacrifices. As I am the inner Ruler of this world I am the Lord of all sacrifices (Vide chapter VIII. 4 -- Adhiyajnohamevatra I am the presiding deity of the sacrifice). I am at the beginning and at the end of every sacrifice and yet these people worship other gods. Therefore they worship in ignorance. As they worhsip other gods without recognising Me? and as they have not consecrated their actions to Me? they return to this mortal world after their merits are exhausted from the plane to which they had attained as the result of their sacrifices.Those who are devoted to other gods and who worship Me in ignorance (Avidhipurvakam) also get the fruit of sacrifice.
