एवं बहुविधा यज्ञा वितता ब्रह्मणो मुखे।कर्मजान्विद्धि तान्सर्वानेवं ज्ञात्वा विमोक्ष्यसे॥
evaṃ bahu-vidhā yajñā vitatā brahmaṇo mukhekarma-jān viddhi tān sarvān evaṃ jñātvā vimokṣyase
Word by word
The verse says
Many kinds of offering are spread out before what is highest. Know that all of them are born from action. Knowing that, you will be free.
In plain words
The catalogue is closed off with a single observation.
All of them — every practice on that long list — karma-jān, born of action.
And knowing that is itself the thing that frees you. Not doing them all. Seeing what they have in common.
Where you've felt this · in study
After years you notice that the four different methods you learned were all doing the same one thing, by different routes. Nobody ever said so. It was never hidden either.
Going deeper
Karma-jān viddhi tān sarvān — know them all as born of action. This is the line that organises everything from verse 25 onward.
The catalogue looked like variety. This verse says it was one thing appearing in many shapes, and the shape is not what matters.
Which has a practical consequence that runs against how religion usually works. If all of them are action offered, then arguing about which practice is correct is arguing about the container.
Brahmaṇo mukhe — before the face of the infinite, or at its mouth. Both readings are current. The second has the offerings going into a mouth that receives them, which fits the fire imagery.
And the promise is unusual. Evaṁ jñātvā vimokṣyase — knowing this, you will be freed. Not by performing them. By understanding what they are. The chapter is about to make that claim much more strongly.
