Sanskrit Original
।।3.14।।अन्नात् सर्वाणि भूतानि भवन्ति पर्जन्याद् अन्नसंभवः इति सर्वलोकसाक्षिकम्। यज्ञात् पर्जन्यो भवति इति च शास्त्रेण अवगम्यते अग्नौ प्रास्ताहुतिः सम्यगादित्यमुपतिष्ठते। आदित्याज्जायते वृष्टिर्वृष्टेरन्नं ततः प्रजाः।। (मनु0 3।76) इत्यादिना। यज्ञः च द्रव्यार्जनादिकर्तृपुरुषव्यापाररूपकर्मसमुद्भवः।
3.14 From food arise all beings; from rain food is produced. These two facts are matters of common experience. 'From sacrifice comes rain' this is known from the scriptures such as, 'The oblations offered in fire reach the sun, and from the sun comes rain' (Manu, 6.76), and sacrifice is born out of activities in the form of collecting materials, etc., by the agent. And activity arises from 'Brahman', the body born of Prakrti.
