वोह भगवान जिसकी यज्ञ में पूजा होती है। उस्से ही पूरा दुनिया बना है। और उसमें ही वापस जाता है, देवताओं के साथ।
Sandhi Notes

- यस्मिँल्लीनं = यस्मिन् + लीनम् (n→l assimilation in recitation/orthography). सामरम् analyzed as s- ‘with’ + अमर
Varāha
The truly worship-worthy is the one from whom the universe proceeds and into whom it dissolves; ritual praise should culminate in recognition of the supreme cause.
Perform yajña/pūjā with the understanding that all devatā-worship ultimately relates to the supreme source; cultivate non-fragmented devotion.
Identifies the īḍya (yajña-praised) source and dissolution-ground of the cosmos, aligning the supreme with the yajña-centered vision where ritual praise points to the ultimate cause.
‘īḍyate yajñaiḥ’ frames the supreme as the hidden recipient behind all offerings; ‘utpanna… līna’ maps creation/dissolution to the one substratum worshipped through yajña.
Satkārya/causal grounding and Brahman-as-upādāna-nimitta cause: the world arises from and resolves into the one supreme reality, with devas included as dependent orders.
