यज्ञशिष्टामृतभुजो यान्ति ब्रह्म सनातनम् | नायं लोकोऽस्त्ययज्ञस्य कुतोऽन्यः कुरुसत्तम
yajñaśiṣṭāmṛtabhujo yānti brahma sanātanam . nāyaṃ loko.astyayajñasya kuto.anyaḥ kurusattama
那些享用献祭后剩余甘露的人,抵达永恒的梵(Brahman)。对于不行献祭的人来说,此世尚且不存,更何况彼世呢,噢,俱卢族中最优秀者(阿周那)!
Those who partake of the nectar left over after a sacrifice, reach the eternal Brahman. This world ceases to exist for one who does not perform sacrifices. What to speak of the other (world), O best among the Kurus (Arjuna)!
他们通过上述献祭净化心灵,最终获得自我(Atman)的知识,从而抵达永恒的梵。那些不进行任何献祭的人,甚至不配拥有这个苦难的世界。那么,他们又怎能奢望获得一个比这更好的世界呢?
They go to the eternal Brahman in course of time after attaining the knowledge of the Self through purification of the mind by performing the above sacrifices. He who does not perform any of these is not fit even for this miserable world. How then can he hope to get a better world than this (Cf.III.13)
