ambrosia, the remnant of the sacrifice, they go to Eternal Brahman. This
world is not for the nonsacrificer ; whence the other ? O best of Kurus.Performing
the sacrifices mentioned above, they eat, at intervals, of prescribed food
in a prescribed manner. Food so eaten is called ambrosia, amrita (immortal).
If they wish for moksha, they go to Brahman in course of time, not at once,
as we should understand for consistencys sake. Even this world, which is
common to all beings, is not for one who performs none of the sacrifices
mentioned above. How can there be to him another world which can be secured
only by superior means ? |
