=== Commentary (टीका) ===
The essence of this verse emphasizes the reciprocal relationship between humans and the divine entities (devas). The concept of *yajña* (sacrifice) is pivotal in this relationship. By performing sacrifices, humans nourish the devas, who in turn, bestow rains and other bounties necessary for earthly sustenance. This mutual nourishment is presented as a path to achieving *śreyas* (supreme welfare), underlining how interconnected the cosmic order is.

Swami Sivananda explains that through these actions, not only is material prosperity achieved, but spiritual elevation towards the attainment of *Self-knowledge* is facilitated, liberating one from the mundane cycle of births and deaths. The commentary further delves into the broader implications of this mutual nourishment, including how it fosters societal and planetary balance.

Hindi commentary by Swami Ramsukhdas expands this theme by linking it with human duties and responsibilities. Emphasizing *Karma Yoga*, it teaches that one's duty and selfless action are the foundations of social and ethical harmony. Engaging in *yajña* is more than ritualistic; it's integral to participating in creation's balance and promoting welfare for all beings.

Therefore, the sloka implores individuals to engage in sacrificial acts that foster a steady exchange of support, elevating one’s own life and the wider cosmos towards ultimate benefit.
