Adhyaya 32 - Devayajna (Sacrifice to the Gods)

This Adhyaya describes the five great sacrifices (Pancha Mahayajnas) — offerings to the gods (Deva Yajna), to the ancestors (Pitri Yajna), to all beings (Bhuta Yajna), to humanity (Manushya Yajna), and to the Vedas (Brahma Yajna). This chapter emphasizes that the householder's life itself is a continuous sacrifice.
