ब्राह्मणप्रभवो यज्ञो ब्राह्म॒णार्पण एव च । अनुयज्ञं जगत् सर्व यज्ञश्चानुजगत् सदा,वेदोंके ब्राह्मणभागसे यज्ञका प्राकट्य हुआ है। वह यज्ञ ब्राह्मणोंको ही अर्पित किया जाता है। यज्ञके पीछे सारा जगत् और जगतके पीछे सदा यज्ञ रहता है

कपिल उवाच
Yajña is presented as a foundational Vedic institution arising from the Brahminical source and properly directed toward Brahmins; moreover, yajña and the world are mutually sustaining—society and cosmos depend on sacrificial order, and sacrificial order persists in relation to the world.
In Kapila’s discourse in the Śānti Parva, he is explaining the place of yajña within dharma: its origin, its rightful recipients, and its ongoing role as a sustaining principle that stands in reciprocal relation with the world.
