एह्येहीति तमाहुतयः सुवर्चसः सूर्यस्य रश्मिभिर्यजमानं वहन्ति। प्रियां वाचमभिवदन्त्योऽर्चयन्त्य एष वः पुण्यः सुकृतो ब्रह्मलोकः॥

ehyehīti tamāhutayaḥ suvarcasaḥ sūryasya raśmibhiryajamānaṃ vahanti | priyāṃ vācamabhivadantyo'rcayantya eṣa vaḥ puṇyaḥ sukṛto brahmalokaḥ ||

""Come, come!" say the radiant oblations, carrying the sacrificer on the sun's rays, praising him with pleasant words: "This is your meritorious Brahma-world, won by good deeds!""

What This Means:

The offerings themselves welcome and praise the ritualist, carrying him to the heavenly realm earned through his good actions.

Going Deeper:

Beautiful poetic imagery: the sacrifices become living beings that escort the performer to his reward.

How To Apply This:

Your good actions create positive forces that support and elevate you.
