यज्ञाहुतिसदाहार यज्ञांगेश नमोऽस्तु ते । स्वर्णगर्भ पद्मगर्भ देवगर्भ प्रजापते
yajñāhutisadāhāra yajñāṃgeśa namo'stu te | svarṇagarbha padmagarbha devagarbha prajāpate
向你顶礼，噢，祭祀（yajña）诸支之主；你恒常的资粮乃是祭献的供物。噢，众生之主（Prajāpati），金胎（Hiraṇyagarbha）、莲胎（Padmagarbha）、神胎（Devagarbha）！
Unspecified (a hymn-like address within the narrative context)
Concept: The cosmos is sustained through yajña; the Lord is both the enjoyer and the very body (aṅga) of sacrifice—ritual becomes a bridge to the divine source (Hiraṇyagarbha/Padmagarbha).
Application: Sanctify daily actions as offerings—food, work, speech—so that karma becomes worship; keep purity and intention as the ‘aṅgas’ of one’s personal yajña.

FAQs
The epithets point to Prajāpati—commonly identified with Brahmā as Hiraṇyagarbha (the cosmic ‘golden embryo’) and as the being associated with the lotus (padma) motif of creation.
It expresses the Vedic idea that cosmic order and divine presence are affirmed through yajña: offerings symbolize the circulation of energy, gratitude, and duty that sustains the world and its creator-function.
The verse elevates reverence and disciplined offering (yajña) as a spiritual principle: aligning one’s actions with sacred order through devotion, gratitude, and responsibility.
