TEXT 32
- एवं बहुविधा यज्ञा वितता ब्रह्मणो मुखे ।
- कर्मजान्विद्धि तान्सर्वानेवं ज्ञात्वा विमोक्ष्यसे ॥३२॥
- evaṁ bahu-vidhā yajñā
- vitatā brahmaṇo mukhe
- karma-jān viddhi tān sarvān
- evaṁ jñātvā vimokṣyase
evamthus — thus; bahuvarious kinds of-vidhāḥvarious kinds of — various kinds of; yajñāḥsacrifices — sacrifices; vitatāḥare spread — are spread; brahmaṇaḥof the Vedas — of the Vedas; mukhethrough the mouth — through the mouth; karmaborn of work-jānborn of work — born of work; viddhiyou should know — you should know; tānthem — them; sarvānall — all; evamthus — thus; jñātvāknowing — knowing; vimokṣyaseyou will be liberated — you will be liberated.
All these different types of sacrifice are approved by the Vedas, and all of them are born of different types of work. Knowing them as such, you will become liberated.
Different types of sacrifice, as discussed above, are mentioned in the Vedas to suit the different types of worker. Because men are so deeply absorbed in the bodily concept, these sacrifices are so arranged that one can work either with the body, with the mind, or with the intelligence. But all of them are recommended for ultimately bringing about liberation from the body. This is confirmed by the Lord herewith from His own mouth.
