एतदेव व्यवस्यन्ति कर्म कर्मेति कर्मिणः ॥ १४.२१.६ ॥
Whatever action there is that is to be grasped, seen, and heard, it is this alone that men of action determine as 'action, action'.
14.21.7
मोहमेव निगच्छन्ति कर्मिणो ज्ञानवर्जिताः ।
नैष्कर्म्य न च लोकेऽस्मिन्मौर्तमित्युपलभ्यते ॥ १४.२१.७ ॥
Those who act without knowledge only attain delusion; in this world freedom from action is not perceived in embodied form.
14.21.8
कर्मणा मनसा वाचा शुभं वा यदि वाऽशुभम् ।
जन्मादिमूर्तिभेदानां कर्म भूतेषु वर्तते ॥ १४.२१.८ ॥

व्यवायं कुरुते नित्यं धीरो भूतानि धारयन् ॥ १४.२१.१० ॥
Where is that Brahman free from pairs of opposites, where the moon ever unites with fire, the steadfast one sustaining beings.

विद्वांसः सुव्रता यत्र शान्तात्मानो जितेन्द्रियाः ॥ १४.२१.११ ॥
Where Brahmā and the others, united in yoga, worship that imperishable one; where the learned, firm in vows, with peaceful souls and senses conquered, serve it.
14.21.12
घ्राणेन न तदाघ्रेयं नास्वाद्यं चैव जिह्वया ।
स्पर्शनेन तदस्पृश्यं मनसा त्ववगम्यते ॥ १४.२१.१२ ॥
It is not to be smelled by the nose, not to be tasted by the tongue, not to be touched by the body; yet it is apprehended by the mind.
14.21.13
चक्षुषा न विषह्यं च यत्किञ्चिच्छ्रवणात्परम् ।
अगन्धमरसस्पर्शमरूपं शब्दवर्जितम्।
यतः प्रवर्तते तन्त्रं यत्र चैतत्प्रतिष्ठितम् ॥ १४.२१.१३ ॥
That which is not to be grasped by the eye, which is beyond even hearing, without smell, taste, touch, form or sound: from it this system proceeds, and in it this is established.
14.21.14
प्राणोऽपानः समानश्च व्यानश्चोदान एव च ।
तत एव प्रवर्न्तते तदेव प्रविशन्ति च ॥ १४.२१.१४ ॥
The upward breath, the downward breath, the equalizing breath, the diffusing breath and the outward breath: from that alone they proceed, and into that alone they enter.
14.21.15
समानव्यानयोर्मध्ये प्राणापानौ विचेरतुः ।
तस्मिन्सुप्ते प्रलीयेते समानो व्यान एव च ॥ १४.२१.१५ ॥
Between the equalizing and the diffusing breaths, the upward and downward breaths move about; when that one sleeps, the equalizing and the diffusing breaths too dissolve.
14.21.16
अपानप्राणयोर्मध्ये उदानो व्याप्य तिष्ठति ।
तस्माच्छयानं पुरुषं प्राणापानौ न मुञ्चतः ॥ १४.२१.१६ ॥
Between the downward and the upward breaths the outward breath pervades and stands; therefore the upward and downward breaths do not release the person who lies asleep.
14.21.17
प्राणेनोपहते यत्तु तमुदानं प्रचक्षते ।
तस्मात्तपो व्यवस्यन्ति तद्भवं ब्रह्मवादिनः ॥ १४.२१.१७ ॥
That which is overcome by the upward breath is called the outward breath; therefore the speakers of Brahman resolve upon the austerity that arises from it.
14.21.18
तेषामन्योन्यसक्तानां सर्वेषां देहचारिणाम् ।
अग्निर्वैश्वानरो मध्ये सप्तधा विहितोऽन्तरा ॥ १४.२१.१८ ॥
Among all of them, the embodied beings who are mutually attached, the fire Vaiśvānara has been placed within, sevenfold, in the midst.
14.21.19
घ्राणं जिह्वा च चक्षुश्च त्वक्च श्रोत्रं च पञ्चमम् ।
मनो बुद्धिश्च सप्तैता जिह्वा वैश्वानरार्चिषः ॥ १४.२१.१९ ॥
Smell, tongue, sight, touch, and fifth, hearing, mind and intellect — these seven are the flames of the fire Vaiśvānara.
14.21.20

मन्तव्यमवबोद्धव्यं ताः सप्त समिधो मताः ॥ १४.२१.२० ॥
What is to be smelled, seen, drunk, touched, heard, thought, and understood — these seven are regarded as the fuel-sticks.
14.21.21

14.21.23
हवींष्याग्निषु होतारः सप्तधा सप्तसप्तसु ।
सम्यक्प्रक्षिप्य विद्वांसो जनयन्ति स्वयोनिषु ॥ १४.२१.२३ ॥
The offerers, pouring the oblations properly into the fires in sevenfold ways among the sevens, the wise generate them in their own sources.
14.21.24
पृथिवी वायुराकाशमापो ज्योतिश्च पञ्चमम् ।
मनो बुद्धिश्च सप्तैता योनिरित्येव शब्दिताः ॥ १४.२१.२४ ॥
Earth, air, space, water, light, mind as the fifth, and intellect — these seven are declared to be the wombs.
14.21.25
हविर्भूतगुणाः सर्वे प्रविशन्त्यग्नियं मुखम् ।
अन्तर्वासमुषित्वा च जायन्ते स्वासु योनिषु ॥ १४.२१.२५ ॥
All the qualities that have become oblation enter this fire's mouth; having dwelt within, they are born in their own wombs.
14.21.26
तत्रैव च निरुध्यन्ते प्रलये भूतभावने ।
ततः संजायते गन्धस्ततः संजायते रसः ॥ १४.२१.२६ ॥
There, in dissolution, they are restrained in him who brings beings into being. Then smell arises; then taste arises.
14.21.27
ततः संजायते रूपं ततः स्पर्शोऽभिजायते ।
ततः संजायते शब्दः संशयस्तत्र जायते।
ततः संजायते निष्ठा जन्मैतत्सप्तधा विदुः ॥ १४.२१.२७ ॥
Then form arises; then touch arises. Then sound arises, and doubt arises there. Then steadfastness arises; they know this birth to be sevenfold.
14.21.28
अनेनैव प्रकारेण प्रगृहीतं पुरातनैः ।
पूर्णाहुतिभिरापूर्णास्ते पूर्यन्ते हि तेजसा ॥ १४.२१.२८ ॥
In just this way has it been grasped by the ancients; fulfilled by full oblations, they are indeed filled with splendour.
