देवान्भावयतानेन ते देवा भावयन्तु वः | परस्परं भावयन्तः श्रेयः परमवाप्स्यथ
devānbhāvayatānena te devā bhāvayantu vaḥ . parasparaṃ bhāvayantaḥ śreyaḥ paramavāpsyatha
「你們應當以此供養眾神。願那些眾神也供養你們。彼此供養,你們將獲得至高之善。」
'You nourish the gods with this. Let those gods nourish you. Nourishing one another, you shall attain the supreme Good.'
提婆(Deva)字面意思是「發光者」。藉由這種祭祀(Yajna),你們供養因陀羅(Indra)等眾神。眾神將以雨水等來供養你們。至高之善是獲得自性知識,這將使人從生死輪迴中解脫。至高之善也可能指達到天堂。其果報取決於求道者的動機。
Deva literally means the shining one. By this sacrifice you nourish the gods such as Indra. The gods shall nourish you with rain? etc. the highest good is the attainment of the knowledge of the Self which frees one from the round of births and deaths. The highest good may mean the attainment of heaven also. The fruit depends upon the motive of the aspirant.
