English Translation - Swami Gambirananda
3.11 You nourish the gods with this. Let those gods nourish you. Nourishing one another, you shall attain the supreme Good.


English Translation of Ramanuja's Sanskrit Commentary
3.11 By this, i.e., by this sacrifice, you propitiate the gods who form My body and have Me as their Self. For Sri Krsna will say later on:  For I am the only enjoyer and the only Lord of Sacrifices (9.24). Worshipped by sacrifices, may these gods, who have Me as their Self, nourish you with food, drink etc., which are reired also for their worship. Thus, supporting each other, may you attain the highest good called Moksa (release).
