yajiia-purusah—the enjoyer of all sacrifices; saksat—directly; apatyaya—

TRANSLATION

When Hari, the supreme enjoyer of all sacrifices, is invited to fulfill your
desire for a son, all the demigods will come with Him and take their shares
in the sacrifice.

PURPORT

Whenever a sacrifice is performed, it is meant for satisfying Lord Visnu,
the enjoyer of the fruits of all sacrifices; and when Lord Visnu agrees to
come to a sacrificial arena, all the demigods naturally follow their master,
and their shares are offered in such sacrifices. The conclusion is that the
sacrifices performed are meant for Lord Visnu, not for the demigods.
