Sūtra translation

Audulomi thinks that there is also fruit (benefit) accruing (to the soul), as in the case of sacrificial priests, be- cause fur their sake that (the acquisition of knowledge) is made through them (the souls) by them (gods).

Just as in the sacrifice called Satrayaga, there is merit accruing to the priests also; so there is a small fraction of the effect accruing to the souls (through whom the gods work for knowledge). Thus the sage Audulomi thinks for the reason that the gods work through the souls for their (souls’) sake.
