我是克拉图(Kratu),我是雅吉那(Yajna),我是斯瓦达(Svadha),我是奥沙达(Ausadha),我是曼陀罗(Mantra),我亦是阿吉亚(Ajya),我是火焰,我亦是供奉。
I am the kratu, I am the yajna, I am the svadha, I am the ausadha, I am the mantra, I Myself am the ajya, I am the fire, and I am the act of offering.
此节揭示了神性遍及一切祭祀行为的各个方面。克拉图(Kratu)指吠陀祭祀,雅吉那(Yajna)指圣典规定的崇拜。斯瓦达(Svadha)是献给祖先的祭品,奥沙达(Ausadha)指所有药草和植物。曼陀罗(Mantra)是神圣的咒语,阿吉亚(Ajya)是酥油,火焰是祭祀之火,而供奉(Hutam)则是献祭的行为本身。神性是所有这些元素的本质。
