they offer

Others offer all the functions of the senses and the vital breaths into the fire of self-control through yoga, kindled by knowledge.

Original plain-language translation

The yogin's total offering: every sense-act and breath laid in the knowledge-kindled fire of self-mastery. This anticipates the meditation teaching of chapter 6. Inner restraint itself becomes the grand sacrifice.
