fire by the Eternal; unto the Eternal verily shall he go who in his action meditateth wholly upon the Eternal.^[1] (24)

 

दैवमेवापरे यज्ञं योगिनः पर्युपासते । ब्रह्माग्नावपरे यज्ञं यज्ञेनैवोपजुह्वति ॥ २५ ॥

Some Yogis offer up sacrifice to the Shining Ones^[2]; others sacrifice only by pouring sacrifice into the fire of the Eternal; (25)

 

श्रोत्रादीनीन्द्रियाण्यन्ये संयमाग्निषु जुह्वति । शब्दादीन्विषयानन्य इन्द्रियाग्निषु जुह्वति ॥ २६ ॥

Some pour as sacrifice hearing and the other senses into the fires of restraint; some pour sound and the other objects of sense into the fires of the senses as sacrifice; (26)
