=== Commentary (टीका) ===
In this sloka, Śrī Kṛṣṇa highlights the practice of disciplined control over one's diet (niyatāhāra) and how such practitioners perform the sacrifice of prāṇāyāma. They offer their life-breath into the life-breath itself, which refers to the spiritual practice of controlling and harmonizing the breath through prāṇāyāma. These practitioners are termed as yajñavid, those who are deeply knowledgeable in the art of performing sacrifices. Their diligent and disciplined approach purifies their mind and destroys their past sins (kalmaṣa), thus leading them toward spiritual growth and divine realization.

The commentary elucidates the idea of disciplined diet as a form of controlling one's senses and mind. Such practices form an essential part of the overall spiritual discipline where breath control through prāṇāyāma acts as a major aspect of internal sacrifice, leading to purification of the mind and removing accumulated karma. This is the way to attain realization of the self, where each action is performed as an offering to the divine, symbolizing internal cleansing through the sacrifice of breath regulation.

The essence of the sloka lies in the understanding that true sacrifices do not necessarily involve external rituals, but can also be internal practices that transform the self, such as prāṇāyāma aligned with disciplined living. Conforming to the discipline of niyatāhāra, prāṇāyāma serves as a metaphor for an internal yajña where the ultimate offering is of one's own impure tendencies into the fire of self-discipline and spiritual wisdom.
