Individuals who consume the remnants of the sacrifice attain the supreme, eternal reality known as Brahman. In contrast, those who do not engage in sacrifice do not attain this world, let alone the higher realms of existence. This serves as a reminder of the essential nature of sacrificial acts.

हिंदी अनुवाद

जो यज्ञ के अंश का उपयोग करते हैं, वे शाश्वत ब्रह्म को प्राप्त करते हैं। इसके विपरीत, जो यज्ञ में भाग न लेते हैं, वे न तो इस जगत को प्राप्त करते हैं और न ही अन्य उच्च लोकों को। यह श्लोक बलिदान के आवश्यक स्वभाव को याद दिलाता है।
