तस्माद् ब्रह्मन् यजेच्चैव याजयेच्चाविचारयन् । यजतः: स्वर्गविधिना प्रेत्य स्वर्गफलं महत्
tasmād brahman yajec caiva yājayec cāvicārayan | yajataḥ svargavidhinā pretya svargaphalaṁ mahat ||
پس، اے برہمن، بغیر تردد کے خود بھی یَگ کرے اور دوسروں کے لیے بھی یَگ کرائے۔ جو سُورگ دینے والی विधि کے مطابق یَگ کرتا ہے، وہ مرنے کے بعد سُورگ میں بڑا پھل پاتا ہے۔

Educational Q&A
Kapila teaches that a brahmin should uphold the sacrificial tradition—performing yajñas and serving as officiant for others—steadfastly and according to proper rite, because such action yields great heavenly merit after death.
In Kapila’s discourse in the Śānti Parva, he addresses a brahmin and argues for the efficacy and duty of Vedic sacrifice, stating that correct ritual performance leads to svarga as its posthumous fruit.
