Y\u0101gas<\/em> are the great Sacrificial rites inculcated in the Vedas, such as a\u015bvamedha-y\u0101ga<\/em>, r\u0101ja s\u016bya-y\u0101ga<\/em>, garuda-chayana<\/em> etc.] and Homas[4. Homas<\/em> are Sacrifices in which consecrated fire is a sine qua non<\/em> in which offerings (food etc.,) are burnt.] therewith. All these come under wealth-sacrifices.<\/span><\/p>\n Others betake themselves to tapas-sacrifices<\/em>. Tapas<\/em> is austerity (or penance or mortification of the flesh). Its modes are known as K\u1e5bicchra, Ch\u0101ndr\u0101ya\u1e47a[5. Expiatory penances. See Manu XI-217, Hem\u0101dri and other Dharma-\u015a\u0101stras which give detailed rules. Tapas<\/em>, Rajendralal Mitra L.L.D., C.I.E., translates, as ‘religious austerity or self-denial’, p. 60. Yoga S\u016btras<\/em>.], fasting etc.<\/span><\/p>\n Others resort to yoga-sacrifices<\/em>. Yoga<\/em> here refers to a variety of karma-yoga, in agreement with the subject that is discussed here. Yoga means joining. Joining or making pilgrimages to holy waters, holy shrines etc., is meant by yoga-sacrifices<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n Others take to sv\u0101dhy\u0101ya-sacrifices<\/em>, i.e., study of the Vedas (Holy Scriptures).<\/span><\/p>\n Others employ themselves in j\u00f1\u0101na-sacrifices<\/em>, i.e., they endeavor to enquire into the import of the Vedas and understand them.<\/span><\/p>\n Yatis<\/em> (plu : yataya\u1e25<\/em>) are those who assiduously persevere to accomplish what they undertake.<\/span><\/p>\n Sam\u015bita-vrat\u0101\u1e25<\/em>=d\u1e5bidha-sa\u1e45kalp\u0101\u1e25<\/em>=those of fixed resolve or firm determination.<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 4 verse 29<\/a><\/p>\n archived in https:\/\/githa.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n pramEyam (goal) \u2013 http:\/\/koyil.org<\/a> SrI:\u00a0 SrImathE SatakOpAya nama:\u00a0 SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama:\u00a0 SrImath varavaramunayE nama: Chapter 4 << Chapter 4 verse 27 SlOkam \u2013 Original dhravyayagyAs thapOyagyA yOgayagyAs thathAparE | svAdhyAyagyAnayagyAS cha yathaya: samSithavrathA: || word-by-word meaning yathaya: – those yathis (ones who put effort) samSithavrathA: – and with firm will aparE – some karma yOgis dhravya yagyA: – engage … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2206","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chapter-4","category-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2206","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2206"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2206\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2206"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2206"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2206"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}SlOkam \u2013 Original<\/a><\/h3>\n
