Sanskrit Text

कथं भागहराः प्रोक्ता देवताः क्रतुषु द्विज किमर्थं चाध्वरे ब्रह्मन्निज्यन्ते त्रिदिवौकसः

English Translation

Why, O twice-born one, have the gods been said to be takers of their respective shares of sacrificial offerings presented to them with the help of Mantras in sacrifices of various kinds? Why, again, are the dwellers of heaven worshipped in sacrifices?
