Adhyaya 71: पुरत्रयवृत्तान्तः—ब्रह्मवरदानम्, मयकृतत्रिपुर-निर्माणम्, विष्णुमाया-धर्मविघ्नः, शिवस्तुति, त्रिपुरदाहोपक्रमः

Devanagari script

तदा सस्मार वै यज्ञं यज्ञमूर्तिर्जनार्दनः यज्वा यज्ञभुगीशानो यज्वनां फलदः प्रभुः

Transliteration

tadā sasmāra vai yajñaṃ yajñamūrtirjanārdanaḥ yajvā yajñabhugīśāno yajvanāṃ phaladaḥ prabhuḥ

Translation

Entonces Janārdana, cuya propia forma es el sacrificio, recordó el Yajña. Como Señor—siendo Él mismo el oficiador, el gozador de la ofrenda y el soberano—otorga a los ejecutantes el fruto de los ritos; y, en la comprensión śaiva, todo fruto ritual reposa en último término en Pati, Śiva, el regente interior del Yajña.
