TEXT 27
- gatayo matayaś caiva
- prāyaścittaṁ samarpaṇam
- puruṣāvayavair ete
- sambhārāḥ sambhṛtā mayā
gatayaḥprogress to the ultimate goal (Viṣṇu) — progress to the ultimate goal (Viṣṇu); matayaḥworshiping the demigods — worshiping the demigods; caas also — as also; evacertainly — certainly; prāyaścittamcompensation — compensation; samarpaṇamultimate offering — ultimate offering; puruṣathe Personality of Godhead — the Personality of Godhead; avayavaiḥfrom the parts of the body of the Personality of Godhead — from the parts of the body of the Personality of Godhead; etethese — these; sambhārāḥthe ingredients — the ingredients; sambhṛtāḥwere arranged — were arranged; mayāby me — by me.
Thus I had to arrange all these necessary ingredients and paraphernalia of sacrifice from the personal bodily parts of the Personality of Godhead. By invocation of the demigods' names, the ultimate goal, Viṣṇu, was gradually attained, and thus compensation and ultimate offering were complete.
In this verse, special stress is given to the person of the Supreme Lord, and not to His impersonal brahmajyoti, as being the source of all supplies. Nārāyaṇa, the Supreme Lord, is the goal of sacrificial results, and therefore the Vedic hymns are ultimately meant for attaining this goal. Human life is thus made successful by pleasing Nārāyaṇa and getting entrance into the direct association of Nārāyaṇa in the spiritual kingdom of Vaikuṇṭha.
