अहं हि सर्वयज्ञानां भोक्ता च प्रभुरेव च | न तु मामभिजानन्ति तत्त्वेनातश्च्यवन्ति ते
ahaṃ hi sarvayajñānāṃ bhoktā ca prabhureva ca . na tu māmabhijānanti tattvenātaścyavanti te
确实,我是一切祭祀的享用者,也是一切祭祀的主宰;但他们并不真正认识我,因此他们会堕落。
I indeed am the enjoyer as also the Lord of all sacrifices; but they do not know Me in reality. Therefore they fall.
人们不了解我,至高无上的“自我”,才是一切吠陀经典和法典所规定祭祀的享用者和主宰。作为这个世界的内在主宰,我是一切祭祀的最高神祇。我存在于每一次祭祀的始末,然而人们却崇拜其他神祇。因此,他们的崇拜是出于无知。由于他们在不认识我的情况下崇拜其他神祇,且未将他们的行为奉献给我,所以当他们在通过祭祀所达到的层面耗尽功德后,便会重返这个凡俗世界。
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.
