भावार्थ:

यज्ञ द्वारा बढ़ाए हुए देवता तुम लोगों को बिना माँगे ही इच्छित भोग निश्चय ही देते रहेंगे। इस प्रकार उन देवताओं द्वारा दिए हुए भोगों को जो पुरुष उनको बिना दिए स्वयं भोगता है, वह चोर ही है॥12॥

Translation

The celestial gods, being satisfied by the performance of sacrifice, will grant you all the desired necessities of life. But those who enjoy what is given to them, without making offerings in return, are verily thieves.
