Chapter 3/Verse 12
इष्टान्भोगान्हि वो देवा दास्यन्ते यज्ञभाविताः ।
तैर्दत्तानप्रदायैभ्यो यो भुङ्क्ते स्तेन एव सः ॥३- १२॥
iṣṭānbhogānhi vo devā dāsyante yajñabhāvitāḥ ।
tairdattānapradāyaibhyo yo bhuṅkte stena eva saḥ ॥3- 12॥
The devotion produced gods will indeed give wished pleasures to you. With these [wished pleasures] one who enjoys not giving gifts to them [the gods], indeed, one is a thief.
