Reconciliation of Action and Knowledge: Offering All Acts to Nārāyaṇa and the Hymn to the Yajña-Puruṣa
सुभीमदंष्ट्रं शशिसूर्यनेत्रं संवत्सरे छायनयुग्मकुक्षम् । दर्भाङ्गरोमाणमतैध्मशक्तिं सनातनं यज्ञनरं नमामि ॥ ५.४७ ॥
subhīmadaṃṣṭraṃ śaśisūryanetraṃ saṃvatsare chāyanayugmakukṣam | darbhāṅgaromāṇam atedhmaśaktiṃ sanātanaṃ yajñanaraṃ namāmi || 5.47 ||
Я преклоняюсь перед вечным Яджня‑Пурушей: с грозными клыками; чьи очи — Луна и Солнце; чьё чрево — Год с парой солнцестояний; чья шерсть‑волосы — трава дарбха; и чья сила — дрова‑топливо, поддерживающее обряд.

FAQs
It preserves a Purāṇic mode of Vedic ritual exegesis, presenting the sacrifice (yajña) as a cosmic person whose body maps onto calendrical time and natural phenomena—an important bridge between Vedic symbolism and later Purāṇic theology.
No specific place-name appears in this verse; the imagery is primarily cosmological and ritual-symbolic rather than topographic.
The verse foregrounds disciplined reverence for cosmic order expressed through yajña-symbolism—an ethical orientation toward maintaining harmony between human action (ritual/intent) and the rhythms of nature (sun, moon, year, solstices).
