Ramanuja's Gita Bhashyam - Chapter 3 - sloka 11


The entire content of this mail is from Swami Adidevananda's translation of Ramanuja's Gita Bhashya, published by Ramakrishna Mission.
Translations of other slokas of the Gita are available on my blog  http://haricharanam.blogspot.com

The greatness of Yajna -9-13
1 Gita Sloka every day - Chapter 3 - Karma Yoga - Sloka 11

Devan bhavayat anen te devah  bhavayantu vah I
Parasparam bhavayantah shreyah parama vapsyatha II sloka 11
देवान भावयत अनेन ते देवः भावयन्तु वः ।
परस्परं भावयन्तः श्रेयः परम् अवाप्स्यथ ।। श्लोक ११ 

By this, please the gods; and the gods will support you; thus nourishing one another, may you obtain the highest good.

By the sacrifice, you propitiate the gods who form My body and have Me as their self. For Sri Krishna will say later on, "For I am the only enjoyer and Lord of sacrifices" (9.24). Worshipped by sacrifices, may these gods, who have Me as their self, nourish you with food and drink, etc. which are required also for their worship. Thus supporting each other, may you attain the highest good called Moksha or release.
