भीष्म उवाच न ब्राह्मण: साधयते हव्यं दैवात् प्रसिद्ध्यति । देवप्रसादादिज्यन्ते यजमानैर्न संशय:
Translation
بھیشم نے کہا—بیٹے! یَجْن اور ہوم وغیرہ دیوتاؤں کے کاموں کی تکمیل برہمن کے اختیار میں نہیں؛ وہ تو دَیو (تقدیرِ الٰہی) سے ہی پوری ہوتی ہے۔ دیوتاؤں کے فضل ہی سے یجمان یَجْن کرتے ہیں—اس میں کوئی شک نہیں۔
