Some offer the senses, beginning with hearing, into the fires of restraint; others offer the sense-objects, beginning with sound, into the fires of the senses.

Others offer all actions of the senses and the functions of the vital energies into the fire of the yoga of self-restraint, kindled by knowledge.

Others perform sacrifice through material offerings, through austerity, and through yogic discipline; and ascetics of steadfast vows perform sacrifice through svādhyāya (recitation and study) and through knowledge.

अपरे नियताहाराः प्राणान्प्राणेषु जुह्वति । सर्वेऽप्येते यज्ञविदो यज्ञक्षपितकल्मषाः॥६-२६-३०॥

Others, disciplined in diet, offer the vital breaths into the vital breaths themselves. All these are knowers of sacrifice, their impurities worn away by sacrifice.
