Some Yogies perform sacrifice to the gods alone; while others (who have realised the Self) offer the self as sacrifice by the Self in the fire of Brahman alone.

Some yogins offer sacrifice to the gods alone; others offer sacrifice itself as an oblation into the fire of Brahman.

Krishna begins listing many forms of sacrifice (yajña), widening the idea far beyond ritual. Some yogins worship the gods through offerings, the traditional Vedic form. Others offer sacrifice itself into the fire of Brahman, which many take as offering the self or all action into the supreme reality. The list that follows over several verses shows that the Gita sees many practices as valid forms of yajña, each a way of giving oneself to something higher. This verse sets the pattern: various seekers, various offerings, one underlying principle.
