446. Ijyah -One who is fit to be invoked through yajnas. Lord Narayana

is the only one who is being invoked in all yajnas, even when the

devotee particularly invokes any other deity. He, being the Infinite,

all gods are expressions of His own glory and therefore, irrespective

of the deity invoked, all yajnas are worship of Vishnu. In Harivamsa

we read a declaration which openly reveals this truth: " They who

worship through holy sacrifices, the devas or the pitris, they worship

indeed the Vishnu, the Self, through the Self. "
