सहयज्ञाः प्रजाः सृष्ट्वा पुरोवाच प्रजापतिः।
अनेन प्रसविष्यध्वमेष वोऽस्त्विष्टकामधुक्।।3.10।।
।।3.10 3.11।।प्रजापति ब्रह्माजीने सृष्टिके आदिकालमें कर्तव्यकर्मोंके विधानसहित प्रजा(मनुष्य आदि) की रचना करके उनसे (प्रधानतया मनुष्योंसे) कहा कि तुमलोग इस कर्तव्यके द्वारा सबकी वृद्धि करो और वह कर्तव्यकर्मरूप यज्ञ तुमलोगोंको कर्तव्यपालनकी आवश्यक सामग्री प्रदान करनेवाला हो। अपने कर्तव्यकर्मके द्वारा तुमलोग देवताओंको उन्नत करो और वे देवतालोग अपने कर्तव्यके द्वारा तुमलोगोंको उन्नत करें। इस प्रकार एकदूसरेको उन्नत करते हुए तुमलोग परम कल्याणको प्राप्त हो जाओगे।
3.10 Pura, in the days of yore, in the beginning of creation; srstva, having created; prajah, the beings, the people of the three castes; saha-yajnah, together with the sacrifices; Prajapati, the creator of beings, uvaca, said; Anena, by this sacrifice; prasavisyadhvam, you multiply. Prasava means origination, growth. You accomplish that. Esah astu, let this sacrifice be; vah, your; ista-kama-dhuk, yielder of coveted objects of desire. That which yields (dhuk) coveted (ista) objects of desire (kama), particular results, is istakama-dhuk. How?
3.10 Saha-etc. The lord of creatures, the Supreme Soul, created creatures, just together with actions. It has also been declared by Him that the procreation i.e., lineage of creatures is through actions alone; these alone would give them what is desired viz., either the cycle of birth-and-death or emancipation - the cycle of birth-and-death is due to attachment and emancipation, due to the freedom from attachment. The sense-objects deserve to be enjoyed only by those for whom emancipation is the most important. This is declared :
3.10 As there is the scriptural text beginning with The Lord of Universe (Tai. Na., 11.3), it is justifiable to take the term Prajapati in its wider connotation and interpret it to mean Narayana who is the Lord of all beings, the creator of the universe and the Self of the universe. In the beginning, i.e., during the creation, He, the Lord of beings, saw all beings helpless by their conjunction with beginningless non-conscient matter, bereft of the distinctions of name and form, and submerged in Himself. They were incapable of attaining the major ends of human existence, being almost one with non-conscient matter. He, the supremely compassionate, with a desire to resuscitate them, created them together with sacrifice in order that they might perform sacrifices as His worship and said: By this sacrifice, shall you prosper, i.e., multiply and prosper. May this sacrifice fulfil your supreme object of desire called release (Moksa) and also the other desires that are in conformity with it. How, then, should this be done?
