I am the Kratu; I am the Yajna; I am the offering (food) to the manes; I am the medicinal herbs and all the plants; I am the Mantra; I am also the Ghee or the melted butter; I am the fire; I am the oblation.

I am the rite, I am the sacrifice, I am the offering to the ancestors, I am the healing herb; I am the sacred chant, I am the clarified butter, I am the fire, and I am the act of offering.

Krishna begins a series of identifications drawn from the Vedic sacrifice (yajña). He is the rite and the sacrifice, the offering to the ancestors, the healing herb, the sacred chant, the clarified butter, the fire and the act of offering itself. Every element of the ritual is revealed as Krishna. The verse transforms the sacrifice from an external procedure into a vision in which the divine is present in every part. Traditions see here the basis for treating all worship, and indeed all action, as offered within God.
