Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
[Canto 1, Ch. 16]
means to get free from the reaction of all sins committed by the fruitive workers. Sacrifice is the means for counteracting such accumulated sins. The demigods are pleased when such sacrifices are performed, just as prison officers are satisfied when the prisoners are turned into obedient subjects. Lord Caitanya, however, has recommended only one  yajña  or sacrifice, called the  saṅkīrtana-yajña , the chanting of Hare Kṛṣṇa, in which everyone can take part. Thus both devotees and fruitive workers can derive equal benefit from the performances of  saṅkīrtana-yajña .
TEXT 21
अरुयमाणाः स्त्रिय उर्वि बालान् 
  शोचस्थयो पुरुषादैरिवार्तान् । 
  वाचं देवीं ब्रह्मकुले कुकर्म- 
  प्यत्रह्मण्ये राजकुले कुलाग्रयान् ॥२१॥
arakṣyamāṇāḥ striya urvi bālān 
  śocasy atho puruṣādair ivārtān 
  vācam devīm brahma-kule kukarmaṇy 
  abrahmaṇye rāja-kule kulāgryān
arakṣyamāṇāḥ—unprotected; striyaḥ—women; urvi—on the earth; bālān—children; śocasi—you are feeling compassion; atho—as such; puruṣa-ādaiḥ—by men; iva—like that; ārtān—those who are unhappy; vācam—vocabulary; devīm—the goddess; brahma-kule—in the family of the brāhmaṇa; kukarmaṇi—acts against the principles of religion; abrahmaṇye—persons against the brahminical culture; rāja-kule—in the administrative family; kula-agryān—most of all the families (the brāhmaṇas).
TRANSLATION
Are you feeling compunction for the unhappy women and children who are left forlorn by unscrupulous persons? Or are you unhappy because the goddess of learning is being handled by brāhmaṇas addicted to acts against the principles of religion? Or are you sorry to see that the brāhmaṇas have taken shelter of administrative families that do not respect brahminical culture?
