3.14 From food come forth beings; from rain food is produced; from sacrifice arises rain and sacrifice is born of action.
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami PrabhupadaEnglish
All living bodies subsist on food grains, which are produced from rains. Rains are produced by performance of yajña [sacrifice], and yajña is born of prescribed duties.
