इष्टान्भोगान्हि वो देवा दास्यन्ते यज्ञभाविताः | तैर्दत्तानप्रदायैभ्यो यो भुङ्क्ते स्तेन एव सः
iṣṭānbhogānhi vo devā dāsyante yajñabhāvitāḥ . tairdattānapradāyaibhyo yo bhuṅkte stena eva saḥ
祭祀所滋養的眾天神,確實會賜予你們所渴望的享樂。凡享用天神所賜之物,卻不向天神奉獻者,他實為竊賊。
'Being nourished by sacrifices, the gods will indeed give you the coveted enjoyments. He is certainly a theif who enjoys what have been given by them without offering (these) to them.'
天神因祭祀而歡悅,便會賜予人們所求的一切,如子嗣、牲畜、財產等。若有人享用天神所賜之物,卻不回報奉獻,僅為滿足自身感官之欲,此人實為竊賊,盜取了天神的財物。
When the gods are pleased with you sacrifices? they will bestow on you all the desired objects such as children? cattle? property? etc. He who enjoys what has been given to him by the gods? i.e.? he who gratifies the cravings of his own body and the senses without offering anything to the gods in return is a veritable thief. He is really a dacoit of the property of the gods.
