After performing the preliminaries of various sacrifices, Mahârâja Bharata offered the results in the name of religion to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Vâsudeva. In other words, he performed all the yajñas for the satisfaction of Lord Vâsudeva, Krishna. Mahârâja Bharata thought that since the devatas were different parts of Vâsudeva's body, He controls those who are explained in the Vedic mantras. By thinking in this way, Mahârâja Bharata was freed from all material contamination, such as attachment, lust and greed. When the priests were about to offer the sacrificial ingredients into the fire, Mahârâja Bharata expertly understood how the offering made to different demigods was simply an offering to the different limbs of the Lord. For instance, Indra is the arm of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and Sûrya [the sun] is His eye. Thus Mahârâja Bharata considered that the oblations offered to different demigods were actually offered unto the different limbs of Lord Vâsudeva.
