नारद–असित (देवल) संवादः — भूतप्रभवाप्यय, इन्द्रिय-गुण-विवेक, क्षेत्रज्ञ-तत्त्व
एतानि सह यज्ञेन प्रजापतिरकल्पयत् । तेन प्रजापतिर्देवान् यज्ञेनायजत प्रभु:
etāni saha yajñena prajāpatir akalpayat | tena prajāpatiḥ devān yajñenāyajata prabhuḥ ||
カピラは説く。「太初においてプラジャーパティは、これらのものをヤジュニャ(祭祀)の制度とともに創り出した。ついでその主宰者プラジャーパティ自ら、ヤジュニャによって神々を礼拝した—宇宙の秩序と神々との結びつきは、ただ所有や力によらず、正しく律された供献によって保たれることを示すのである。」
कपिल उवाच
Yajña is presented as foundational to creation and social-cosmic order: even Prajāpati models dharma by sustaining the gods through sacrificial offering, implying that rightful giving and disciplined action uphold the world.
Kapila states that Prajāpati instituted the sacrificial system along with created things, and then Prajāpati himself performed yajña to the gods using those sacrificial means, establishing a paradigm of reciprocal maintenance between beings and the divine.
