Being pleased by your performance of sacrifice, the demigods <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/demigods#vaishnavism> will reward you by making arrangements for your desired enjoyment. Therefore, a person who enjoys the ingredients the demigods have given, without first offering them to the demigods, is certainly a thief. Commentary: Sārārtha-Varṣiṇī Ṭīkā (By Śrīla Viśvanātha <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/vishvanatha#purana> Cakravartī <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/cakravarti#purana> Ṭhākura <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/thakura#history>; the innermost intention of the commentary named ‘the shower of essential meanings’) Failure to perform *karma <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/karma#vaishnavism>* is certainly a defect. Śrī Bhagavān <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/bhagavan#vaishnavism> is speaking this verse beginning with *iṣṭān* to clarify this point. Grains and other products grow due to rain, which is caused by the demigods. After producing grains and other items, a person who enjoys them without first offering them to the demigods by performing *pañca-mahā-yajña <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/pancamahayajna#vaishnavism>*, five great sacrifices, is a thief. Commentary: Sārārtha-Varṣiṇī Prakāśikā-vṛtti (By Śrīla Bhaktivedānta Nārāyaṇa <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/narayana#vaishnavism> Gosvāmī <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/gosvami#vaishnavism> Mahārāja <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/maharaja#purana>; the explanation that illuminates the commentary named *Sārārtha-varṣiṇī <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/sararthavarshini#vaishnavism>*) In regard to these great five sacrifices, or *pañca <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/panca#history>-mahā-yajña <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/mahayajna#purana>*, it is stated in the *Garuḍa Purāṇa <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/garudapurana#purana>*: *adhyāpanaṃ brahma-yajñaḥ <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/brahmayajna#purana> pitṛ-yajñas <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/pitriyajna#purana> tu tarpaṇamhomo daivo balir bhauto nṛ-yajño’tithi <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/tithi#vaishnavism>-pūjanam* (1) To give the disciple instructions from scripture is called *brahma-yajña <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/brahmayajna#purana>*. (2) To offer oblations to the forefathers is *pitṛ-yajña <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/pitriyajna#purana>*. (3) To perform fire sacrifice is *deva-yajña <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/devayajna#purana>*. (4) To give in charity offerings of fruits, flowers, grains and so on to the living entities is *bali <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/bali#purana>*, or *bhūta <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/bhuta#purana>-yajña <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/yajna#vaishnavism>*. (5) To receive guests warm-heartedly is called *nṛ-yajña*. Many people think that the word *bali* (offering) in this verse means ‘to offer a sacrifice by killing animals and humans’, but this is not the opinion of scriptures such as the *Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/shrimad-bhagavatam#vaishnavism>*: *loke vyavāyāmiṣa-madya <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/madya#purana>-sevā <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/seva#history> nityā <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/nitya#vaishnavism> hi jantor na hi tatra codanāvyavasthitis teṣu vivāha <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/vivaha#purana>-yajña surā <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/sura#vaishnavism>-grahair āsu nivṛttir iṣṭā <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/ishta#purana>* *Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/bhagavatam#vaishnavism>* (11.5.11) The true meaning of *bali* is to give grains, water, fruits, flowers and animals in charity for the satisfaction of the demigods. and IN YAGNA OF A YOGI IN THE kARMA gNANA ,bHAKTI AND OTHER YOGAS OF WORK, AS SAID IN 2 47 OF b g, OFFERING THE ENTORE WORK IN THAT YAGNA sUCH WORKERS WILL TURN THE TIDE OF FAILUTE ,EVEN IF DESTINED TO FAIL.
