主啊，你的精液即名为苏摩祭（soma-yajña）的供献；你之增长即清晨的萨瓦那仪轨。你的皮肤与触觉乃阿耆尼什托摩（agniṣṭoma）之诸要素；你身之关节象征十二日萨特拉（sattrā）诸祭的种种安立。故你是苏摩与非苏摩一切祭祀之所归，唯以祭祀而被系缚。
There are seven kinds of routine yajñas performed by all followers of the Vedic rituals, and they are called agniṣṭoma, atyagniṣṭoma, uktha, ṣoḍaśī, vājapeya, atirātra and āptoryāma. Anyone performing such yajñas regularly is supposed to be situated with the Lord. But anyone who is in contact with the Supreme Lord by discharging devotional service is understood to have performed all different varieties of yajñas.

See worship as God-centered rather than merely ritual-centered: offer one’s actions as service to the Lord, understanding that the true “connector” of any practice is sincere devotion.
