।।4.25।।अन्य योगीलोग भगवदर्पणरूप यज्ञका ही अनुष्ठान करते हैं और दूसरे योगीलोग ब्रह्मरूप अग्निमें विचाररूप यज्ञके द्वारा ही जीवात्मारूप यज्ञका हवन करते हैं।


Rudra Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary


The ability to  see  the  Brahman  or  spiritual  substratum  pervading  all
existence everywhere is factually a potent form of  yagna  or  offerings  of
worship as propitiation to the Supreme Lord Krishns. This type of  yagna  is
superior to all other yagnas. In order to show its superiority; the  various
sacrifices  which  are  methods  to  attain  this  knowledge  are  given  in
descending order of importance in the next eight  verses.  Those  yagnas  in
which demi-gods like Indra and  Varuna  are  worshipped  are  called  Daiva-
Yagnas. The word eva meaning only shows that Indra  and  the  demi-gods  are
not viewed as being Brahman. The karma yogis  or  those  performing  actions
for specific rewards worship the demigods fastidiously. The jnana  yogis  or
those cultivating Vedic knowledge offer the sacrifice back  to  the  Brahman
by means of that very sacrifice and dissolve all actions  into  the  Brahman
by the sacrifice of spiritual intelligence.

Shri Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary



Lord Krishna begins with the word daivam meaning the demi-gods. Karma  yogis
or those following the path of prescribed Vedic activities being on a  lower
platform devotedly worship the demigods  such  as  Indra  for  rainfall  and
Surya for sunlight and derive the desired results sought.  While  the  jnana
yogis those following the path of  cultivating  knowledge  offer  all  their
oblations such as ghee or clarified butter and food grains exclusively  into
the fire as offerings to the Brahman or spiritual substratum  pervading  all
existence and this is their yagna or worship to the Supreme.
