Dear King, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, along with the predominating deities, is the enjoyer of the results of all sacrifices in all planets. The Supreme Lord is the sum total of the three Vedas, the owner of everything, and the ultimate goal of all austerity. Therefore your countrymen should engage in performing various sacrifices for your elevation. Indeed, you should always direct them towards the offering of sacrifices.

Translation
For your benefit, you should entreat your citizens to worship through various sacrifices the Supreme Lord who accepts the sacrifices for attaining the devatās and their planets, who is the three Vedas, who is all the ingredients of sacrifice and who is all austerities.
You should entreat the citizens to be worshippers (yajataḥ), for your prosperity.

Personal Guidance
The Lord is enjoyer of all sacrifices, the sum of the three Vedas, the owner of everything, the goal of austerity. Centralizing your devotion isn't narrowness — it is correct accounting.
Reflection Questions
- Where am I making offerings to peripheral recipients when central offering would settle it?
- What in my austerity is currently goalless because I haven't named the Person it's for?
