Sanskrit Text

अहो हि दुरनुष्ठेयो मोक्षधर्मः सनातनः यं हित्वा देवताः सर्वा हव्यकव्यभुजोऽभवन्

English Translation

It seems to be, O Brahmana, that the eternal religion of Liberation is highly difficult of observance. Turning away from it, all the gods have become enjoyers of the libations of clarified butter poured with Mantras on sacrificial fires and other offerings presented to them by similar means.
