Reconciliation of Action and Knowledge: Offering All Acts to Nārāyaṇa and the Hymn to the Yajña-Puruṣa
एवमुक्ते तु व्याधेन ब्राह्मणे राजसत्तम । पुष्पवृष्टिरथाकाशात् तस्योपरि पपात ह ॥ ५.३६ ॥
evam ukte tu vyādhena brāhmaṇe rājasattama | puṣpavṛṣṭir athākāśāt tasyopari papāta ha || 5.36 ||
जब शिकारी ने यह बात कही, तो आसमान से फूल बरसने लगे। वो सब उस ब्राह्मण के ऊपर गिरने लगे।
