Dear King, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, along with the predomi-
nating deities, is the enjoyer of the results of all sacrifices in all planets.
The Supreme Lord is the sum total of the three Vedas, the owner of every-
thing, and the ultimate goal of all austerity. Therefore your countrymen
should engage in performing various sacrifices for your elevation. Indeed,
you should always direct them toward the offering of sacrifices.
