Rudra Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

So we see that not only Lord Krishna is stating this but also  according  to
Prajapati or Brahma the  creator  of  all  material  beings,  that  one  who
performs actions is superior to one who performs no actions. This  is  being
explained in this and the next three verses.  The  words  saha-yagnah-prajah
means all progeny in existence in general but specifically the brahmans  and
ksatriyas who perform worship according to  the  Vedic  scriptures.   Verily
remembering Lord Krishna and chanting His holy names  is  yagna  or  worship
and by such sacrifice mankind will  flourish  and  prosper.  Here  the  word
yagna means the time sacrificed to  do  the  daily  duties  offered  to  the
Supreme Lord and other obligatory  activities  such  as  following  Ekadasi.
Although there is no question of praising work that  is  done  with  desires
it still  exhibits that in general actions are  better  than  inertness  and
lassitude which are more objectionable.

Shri Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

In the Vedic scriptures the term Prajapati is unrestrictedly  designated  to
the Supreme Lord Krishna, or any of duly authorised avatars or  incarnations
such as Narayana lord of all creation or Jagannatha lord of  the  universes.
In the beginning of creation the Supreme Lord reflected  on  the  plight  of
the living entities entangled in matter from time immemorial.  These  living
entities were destitute of name, form and a distinction between one  another
as they were  dormant  within  a  portion  of  the  Supreme  Lords  potency.
Possessing an eternal soul they had the ability to fulfill great  goals  but
they languishing inert like latent substances.

In this case Prajapati refers to Brahma, a duly authorised  Guna  avatar  of
the Supreme Lord who while reflecting on them out of His infinite mercy  and
for the sake of their ultimate redemption, inspired Brahma to  project  them
into the material manifestation.  Brahma  worshipped  the  Supreme  Lord  as
sacrifice and thus inaugurated the institution of yagna which  will  fulfill
all ones highest ambitions granting moksa or  libeartion  in  the  spiritual
worlds. How this will manifest will be further explained in the next verse.
