ಇಷ್ಟಾನ್ ಭೋಗಾನ್ ಹಿ ವೋ ದೇವಾ ದಾಸ್ಯಂತೇ ಯಜ್ಞಭಾವಿತಾಃ ।
ತೈರ್ದತ್ತಾನಪ್ರದಾಯೈಭ್ಯೋ ಯೋ ಭುಂಕ್ತೇ ಸ್ತೇನ ಏವ ಸಃ॥೧೨॥
iṣṭān bhogān hi vo devā dāsyaṃte yajñabhāvitāḥ |
tairdattānapradāyaibhyo yo bhuṃkte stena eva saḥ||12||
Gist of the sloka:
By performing such yagnas, the demi-Gods obtain strength. Who then bless you with the desired. We should therefore offer the objects to the demi-Gods, for not doing so it would be thievery.
Explanation:
What we need, is being given to us by this prakruthi. When we use such resources, we need to be grateful. Instead if we claim ownership & have ego over it, we are like thieves and will never elevate ourselves.
