Reconciliation of Action and Knowledge: Offering All Acts to Nārāyaṇa and the Hymn to the Yajña-Puruṣa
एवं वदति रैभ्ये तु ब्रह्मणस्तन्महासदः । उत्तस्थौ स्वानि धिष्ण्यानि गता देवगणाः प्रभो ॥ ५.११ ॥
evaṃ vadati raibhye tu brahmaṇas tanmahāsadaḥ | uttasthau svāni dhiṣṇyāni gatā devagaṇāḥ prabho || 5.11 ||
रैभ्य के बोलने के बाद ब्रह्मा की बड़ी सभा उठ गई। देवी लोग अपने-अपने घर चले गए।
