Others, regulated in food, offer the vital breaths into the breaths. All these are knowers of sacrifice, their stains consumed by sacrifice.

Original plain-language translation

The catalogue closes with the measured eater and a blanket verdict: every one of these practitioners truly knows yajña. Diverse methods, one cleansing result — sacrifice consumes stain. What matters is the offering spirit, not the technique.
