viśuddha-vijñāna-ghanaḥ svarūpataḥ

This sacrifice has many material qualities, such as various ingredients, colors, rituals, mantras, embellishments, saṅkalpas, śaktis and names, but it becomes devoid of material qualities in the end, having a nature of pure, condensed knowledge, Brahman.

Karma by its very nature is impure, material, and rajasic. But if it is offered to the Lord, it ultimately becomes viśuddha-sattva, spiritual, by the minor portion of bhakti within it. In two verses Pṛthu teaches bhakti-miśra-karma. Pṛthu points with his index finger at the sacrifice being prepared. This (asau) sacrifice, though it has many qualities in rajas, becomes without guṇas, beyond the guṇas, in its final state, because of the power of bhakti present when the sacrifice is offered to the Lord. It becomes pure knowledge; it becomes endowed with the form of the bliss of Brahman, since karma matures finally into liberation (through jñāna). From the beginning however, simply hearing and chanting the Lord’s name are full of pure knowledge. They are devoid of the guṇas from the beginning. Thus they are in all ways superior to karma. Or, the Lord (asau), by his very nature beyond the guṇas, full of pure knowledge, on the path of karma, becomes sacrifice endowed with many guṇas.

What are the many qualities? There are many types of materials such as rice, with colors such as white, with actions such as threshing the grains, with mantras (uktibhiḥ), with preparations to complete each section of the sacrifice (artha), with saṅkalpa (āśayaḥ), with śakti in the objects (liṅgam), and with names such as jyotiṣṭoma sacrifice.
