Know thou that action comes from Brahma and Brahma comes from the Imperishable. Therefore, the all-pervading (Brahma) ever rests in sacrifice.

Know that action arises from Brahman, and Brahman arises from the Imperishable. Therefore the all-pervading Brahman is ever established in sacrifice.

The chain is completed. Action (karma) comes from brahman, and brahman from the akṣara, the Imperishable. The word brahman here is read in different ways. Many take it as the Veda, the sacred word that prescribes action, which in turn comes from the eternal. Others take it as nature or as the supreme reality itself. Whatever the reading, the conclusion is that the all-pervading Brahman is present in sacrifice. Action offered rightly is thus linked to the highest reality, not cut off from it.
