अहं हि सर्वयज्ञानां भोक्ता च प्रभुरेव च | न तु मामभिजानन्ति तत्त्वेनातश्च्यवन्ति ते
ahaṃ hi sarvayajñānāṃ bhoktā ca prabhureva ca . na tu māmabhijānanti tattvenātaścyavanti te
Je suis en vérité le Bénéficiaire et le Maître de tous les sacrifices ; mais ils ne Me connaissent pas en réalité. C'est pourquoi ils chutent.
I indeed am the enjoyer as also the Lord of all sacrifices; but they do not know Me in reality. Therefore they fall.
Ils ne savent pas que Je suis le Soi Suprême, le Bénéficiaire de tous les sacrifices prescrits dans les Vedas et les Smritis, et le Maître de toutes les offrandes. Étant le Régisseur intérieur de ce monde, Je suis le Seigneur de tous les sacrifices. Parce qu'ils M'adorent dans l'ignorance et ne M'ont pas consacré leurs actions, ils retournent à ce monde mortel une fois que leurs mérites sont épuisés, ne parvenant pas à la libération ultime.
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.
