Spiritual practice can be framed as inner yajña: either restraining the senses by offering them into the fire of discipline, or engaging sense-objects in a purified way so craving is burned up rather than increased.
In the Gītā dialogue on the battlefield, Arjuna is hearing about various forms of sacrifice; this verse describes two yogic modes of inner sacrifice involving senses and their objects.
