Shloka 33
तथा स्वभागधेयानि ग्रहीष्यन्ति दिवौकस: । यद्यज्ञपुरुष: साक्षादपत्याय हरिर्वृत: ॥ ३३ ॥
tathā sva-bhāgadheyāni grahīṣyanti divaukasaḥ yad yajña-puruṣaḥ sākṣād apatyāya harir vṛtaḥ
When Hari Himself—the Yajña-puruṣa, the supreme enjoyer of all sacrifices—is invited to grant you a son, all the demigods come with Him and receive their respective shares in the sacrifice.
Whenever a sacrifice is performed, it is meant for satisfying Lord Viṣṇu, the enjoyer of the fruits of all sacrifices; and when Lord Viṣṇu agrees to come to a sacrificial arena, all the demigods naturally follow their master, and their shares are offered in such sacrifices. The conclusion is that the sacrifices performed are meant for Lord Viṣṇu, not for the demigods.
FAQs
This verse states that the demigods receive their allotted shares because Hari Himself is the Yajña-puruṣa—the real enjoyer and goal of sacrifice—so offerings ultimately reach all properly through Him.
Because their ability to receive offerings depends on Hari being the central beneficiary of yajña; when Viṣṇu is worshiped, the devas are automatically satisfied and receive their due portions.
Offer your work, worship, and charity with devotion to the Supreme (Hari) as the center; this aligns duties and relationships, making one’s efforts spiritually complete rather than fragmented.
