यज्ञशिष्टामृतभुजो यान्ति ब्रह्म सनातनम् | नायं लोकोऽस्त्ययज्ञस्य कुतोऽन्यः कुरुसत्तम
yajñaśiṣṭāmṛtabhujo yānti brahma sanātanam . nāyaṃ loko.astyayajñasya kuto.anyaḥ kurusattama
那些享用祭祀後所餘甘露的人,將達到永恆的梵(Brahman)。對於不舉行祭祀的人,此世亦不復存在,更遑論他世,喔,庫魯族中最優者(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)!
他們透過履行上述祭祀淨化心靈,最終獲得自我知識,並在時間的推移中達到永恆的梵(Brahman)。不履行任何這些祭祀的人,甚至不配擁有這個苦難的世界。那麼,他又怎能期望獲得一個比這更好的世界呢?
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)
