Shloka 10
🌟 Sanskrit:
सहयज्ञाः प्रजाः सृष्ट्वा पुरोवाच प्रजापतिः |
अनेन प्रसविष्यध्वमेष वोऽस्त्विष्टकामधुक् || 3.10 ||
🌟 Transliteration:
saha-yajñāḥ prajāḥ sṛiṣhṭvā purovācha prajāpatiḥ |
anena prasaviṣhyadhvam eṣha vo ’stviṣhṭa-kāma-dhuk ||
🌟 Meaning:
In the beginning of creation, the Lord of all creatures created mankind along with sacrifices, and said: "By this shall you prosper; let this be the bestower of all you desire."
🌟 Explanation:
Krishna explains that the principle of sacrifice (yajña) is not a human invention, but a cosmic one. At the dawn of creation, the Creator (Prajāpatiḥ ) instituted sacrifice as the means for humanity to prosper and live in harmony with the universe. He compares yajña to an "iṣhṭa-kāma-dhuk," a mythical wish-fulfilling cow, signifying that the performance of selfless duty will bestow all necessities and desires.
Shloka 11
🌟 Sanskrit:
देवान्भावयतानेन ते देवा भावयन्तु वः |
परस्परं भावयन्तः श्रेयः परमवाप्स्यथ || 3.11 ||
🌟 Transliteration:
devān bhāvayatānena te devā bhāvayantu vaḥ |
parasparaṁ bhāvayantaḥ śhreyaḥ param avāpsyatha ||
🌟 Meaning:
The demigods, being pleased by sacrifices, will also please you, and thus, by cooperation between men and demigods, prosperity will reign for all.
🌟 Explanation:
Here, Krishna details the divine cycle of reciprocity. By performing sacrifices (yajña), humans nourish the devān (demigods), the celestial beings who manage the forces of nature. In turn, the pleased demigods provide for humanity with rain, sunlight, and other resources. This mutual cooperation (parasparaṁ bhāvayantaḥ) between the human and divine realms ensures the prosperity of all and leads to the highest good (śhreyaḥ param).
Shloka 12
🌟 Sanskrit:
इष्टान्भोगान्हि वो देवा दास्यन्ते यज्ञभाविताः |
तैर्दत्तानप्रदायैभ्यो यो भुङ्क्ते स्तेन एव सः || 3.12 ||
🌟 Transliteration:
iṣṭān bhogān hi vo devā dāsyante yajña-bhāvitāḥ |
tair dattān apradāyaibhyo yo bhuṅkte stena eva saḥ ||
🌟 Meaning:
Pleased by your sacrifices, the celestial gods will bestow upon you all that you desire. But he who enjoys the gifts of the gods without offering them back in return is certainly a thief.
🌟 Explanation:
Krishna issues a stern warning. The necessities of life are gifts bestowed by the demigods, who are satisfied by our performance of duty. If we enjoy these gifts—food, water, air, etc.—without acknowledging the source and giving back through our own prescribed duties, we are no better than a thief (stena eva saḥ). This highlights the importance of living with gratitude and a spirit of contribution, rather than just consumption.
Today’s Takeaway
Live in gratitude and give back. Life is a cooperative cycle of giving and receiving. We receive countless blessings from nature and society every day. To simply take without contributing is to break this sacred cycle. A fulfilling life is one of participation, where we gratefully offer our own talents and work as a sacrifice to sustain the whole. 🌍❤️
JAI SHRI KRISHNA✋👐👏💕💓💛💞💟💫🙌🙇🙏
