Educational Q&A
All sacrificial action—outer ritual and inner discipline—ultimately rests in and returns to the Supreme: He upholds sacrifice, enables it, receives it, and grants its fruits. The verse also shifts emphasis from mere external rite to the ‘secret’ of yajña: selfless intention and inward offering.
In Anuśāsana Parva, Bhīṣma instructs Yudhiṣṭhira on dharma and extols the Supreme through a litany of divine names. This verse is part of that praise, describing the Lord as the essence, agent, recipient, and reward of yajña, and as the universal nourisher (food) and enjoyer (eater).
