अध्वर्युणा ह्यमाने देवा उत्पेतुरोजसा । ऋभवो नाम तपसा सोमं प्राप्ताः सहस्रशः ॥३३॥
adhvaryuṇā hūyamāne devā utpetur ojasā ṛbhavo nāma tapasā somam prāptāḥ sahasraśaḥ
adhvaryuṇā —by the priest, Bhṛgu;  hūyamāne —oblations being offered;  devāḥ —demigods;  utpetuḥ —became manifested;  ojasā —with great strength;  ṛbhavaḥ —the Rbhus;  nāma —named;  tapasā —by penance;  somam —Soma;  prāptāḥ —having achieved;  sahasraśaḥ —by the thousands.
TRANSLATION
When Bhṛgu Muni offered oblations in the fire, immediately many thousands of demigods named Rbhu became manifested. All of them were powerful, having achieved strength from Soma, the moon.
PURPORT
It is stated here that many thousands of demigods named Rbhu became manifested because of the oblations offered in the fire and the chanting of the hymns from the  Yajur-veda .  Brāhmaṇas  like Bhṛgu Muni were so powerful that they could create such powerful demigods simply by chanting the Vedic  mantras . Vedic  mantras  are still available, but the chanters are not. By chanting Vedic  mantras  or chanting the  Gāyatrī  or  Rg-mantra  one can attain the results he desires. In the present age of Kali it is recommended by Lord Caitanya that simply by chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa one can attain all perfection.
