TRANSLATION
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.
PURPORT
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.
