8.5.1
atha yad yajña ity ācakṣate brahmacaryam eva tat \
brahmacaryeṇa hy eva yo jñātā taṃ vindate \
atha yad iṣṭam ity ācakṣate brahmacaryam eva tat \
brahmacaryeṇa hy eveṣṭvātmānam anuvindate \\805.1\
Now, what people call sacrifice is really Brahmacarya, for only by means of Brahmacarya does the knower attain that world. And what people call worship (Iṣṭa) is really Brahmacarya, for only by worshipping with Brahmacarya does one attain the Ātman.
