अर्थMeaning
'When the father (of creation) had produced by knowledge and penance (work) the seven kinds of food, one of his (foods) was common to all beings, two he assigned to the Devas, (1) 'Three he made for himself, one he gave to the animals. In it all rests, whatsoever breathes and breathes not. (2) 'Why then do these not perish, though they are always eaten? He who knows this imperishable one, he eats food with his face. (3) 'He goes even to the Devas, he lives on strength.' (4)

व्याख्याVyakhya
(श्लोक:) 'पिता (प्रजापति) ने मेधा और तप से जो सात अन्न उत्पन्न किए, उनमें से एक इसका साधारण (सबके लिए) है, दो उसने देवताओं को बाँट दिए। तीन उसने अपने लिए बनाए और एक पशुओं को दिया। उसी में सब प्रतिष्ठित है, जो प्राण लेता है और जो नहीं लेता। सदा खाए जाते हुए भी वे क्षीण क्यों नहीं होते? जो उस अक्षय (कारण) को जानता है, वह मुख से अन्न खाता है; वह देवताओं को प्राप्त होता है और ऊर्जा (बल) से जीवित रहता है।' ये श्लोक हैं।
