Translation

In the beginning of creation, the Lord of all creatures sent forth generations of men and demigods, along with sacrifices for Viṣṇu, and blessed them by saying, “Be thou happy by this yajña [sacrifice] because its performance will bestow upon you everything desirable for living happily and achieving liberation.”

Loome alguses lõi kõikide olendite Jumal inimeste ja pooljumalate generatsiooni koos Viṣṇu rahuldamiseks mõeldud ohverdustega ning õnnistas neid, öeldes: „Olge õnnelikud selle yajña [ohverduse] abil, sest selle sooritamine annab teile kõik, mida te vajate õnnelikuks eluks ning vabanemise saavutamiseks."

Purport

The material creation by the Lord of creatures (Viṣṇu) is a chance offered to the conditioned souls to come back home – back to Godhead. All living entities within the material creation are conditioned by material nature because of their forgetfulness of their relationship to Viṣṇu, or Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The Vedic principles are to help us understand this eternal relation, as it is stated in the Bhagavad-gītā: vedaiś ca sarvair aham eva vedyaḥ. The Lord says that the purpose of the Vedas is to understand Him. In the Vedic hymns it is said: patiṁ viśvasyātmeśvaram. Therefore, the Lord of the living entities is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Viṣṇu. In the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam also (2.4.20) Śrīla Śukadeva Gosvāmī describes the Lord as pati in so many ways:

Kõikide olendite Jumala (Viṣṇu) poolt loodud materiaalne loome on võimalus tingimustest sõltuvatele hingedele pöörduda tagasi koju – Jumala juurde. Kõik materiaalses loomes viibivad elusolendid sõltuvad materiaalsest loodusest, sest nad on unustanud oma suhted Viṣṇuga ehk Kṛṣṇaga, s.o. Jumala Kõrgeima Isiksusega. Vedalikes pühakirjades antud juhenduste eesmärgiks on aidata meil mõista seda igavest suhet, nii nagu kinnitatakse „Bhagavad-gītās": vedaiś ca sarvair aham eva vedyaḥ. Jumal ütleb, et „Vedade" eesmärk on mõista Teda. Vedalikes hümnides öeldakse: patiṁ viśvasyātmeśvaram. Seega on elusolendite valitseja Jumala Kõrgeim Isiksus, Viṣṇu. „Śrīmad-Bhāgavatamis" (2.4.20) kirjeldab Śrīla Śukadeva Gosvāmī Jumalat kui patit mitmel erineval moel:

śriyaḥ patir yajña-patiḥ prajā-patir
dhiyāṁ patir loka-patir dharā-patiḥ
patir gatiś cāndhaka-vṛṣṇi-sātvatāṁ
prasīdatāṁ me bhagavān satāṁ patiḥ

The prajā-pati is Lord Viṣṇu, and He is the Lord of all living creatures, all worlds, and all beauties, and the protector of everyone. The Lord created this material world to enable the conditioned souls to learn how to perform yajñas (sacrifices) for the satisfaction of Viṣṇu, so that while in the material world they can live very comfortably without anxiety, and after finishing the present material body they can enter into the kingdom of God. That is the whole program for the conditioned soul. By performance of yajña, the conditioned souls gradually become Kṛṣṇa conscious and become godly in all respects. In the Age of Kali, the saṅkīrtana-yajña (the chanting of the names of God) is recommended by the Vedic scriptures, and this transcendental system was introduced by Lord Caitanya for the deliverance of all men in this age. Saṅkīrtana-yajña and Kṛṣṇa consciousness go well together. Lord Kṛṣṇa in His devotional form (as Lord Caitanya) is mentioned in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (11.5.32) as follows, with special reference to the saṅkīrtana-yajña:

Prajā-pati on Jumal Viṣṇu ning Ta on kõikide elusolendite, kõikide maailmade ja kogu ilu Jumal ja kõikide olendite kaitsja. Jumal lõi selle materiaalse maailma sellisel moel, et tingimustest sõltuvatel hingedel oleks võimalus omandada teadmisi, kuidas sooritada yajñasid (ohverdusi) Viṣṇu rahuldamiseks ja elada seeläbi ka materiaalses maailmas viibides muretult ning siseneda pärast oma praegusest materiaalsest kehast lahkumist Jumala kuningriiki. See ongi tingimustest sõltuva hinge kogu eluprogramm. Sooritades yajñasid, jõuab tingimustes sõltuv hing järk-järgult Kṛṣṇa teadvuse tasandile ning muutub igas mõttes jumalakartlikuks. Kali ajastu jaoks soovitavad vedalikud pühakirjad saṅkīrtana-yajña ehk Jumala nimede kordamise transtsendentaalset praktikat, mida tutvustas Jumal Caitanya, soovides päästa kõiki käesoleva ajastu inimesi. Saṅkīrtana-yajña ja Kṛṣṇa teadvus käivad käsikäes. Jumal Kṛṣṇa kehastust pühendununa (Jumal Caitanyana) mainitakse „Śrīmad-Bhāgavatamis" (11.5.32) koos konkreetse viitega saṅkīrtana-yajñale:

kṛṣṇa-varṇaṁ tviṣākṛṣṇaṁ
sāṅgopāṅgāstra-pārṣadam
yajñaiḥ saṅkīrtana-prāyair
yajanti hi su-medhasaḥ

“In this Age of Kali, people who are endowed with sufficient intelligence will worship the Lord, who is accompanied by His associates, by performance of saṅkīrtana-yajña.” Other yajñas prescribed in the Vedic literatures are not easy to perform in this Age of Kali, but the saṅkīrtana-yajña is easy and sublime for all purposes, as recommended in Bhagavad-gītā also (9.14).

„Käesoleval kali ajastul teenivad piisava arukusega inimesed Jumalat, keda saadavad Tema kaaslased, saṅkīrtana-yajña sooritamise läbi." Teisi yajñasid, mida vedalikud pühakirjad ette näevad, on käesoleval kali ajastul väga raske praktiseerida, samas kui saṅkīrtana-yajña on lihtne ning kõiki eesmärke teeniv ülev ohverdus, mille praktiseerimist soovitatakse ka „Bhagavad-gītās" (9.14).
