Shankaracharya's commentary, trans. Alladi Mahadeva Sastry (1897)
[1]Know that action arises from Brahman, and Brahman arises from the Imperishable. Therefore the all-pervading Brahman is ever established in sacrifice.
BG 3.15
कर्म ब्रह्मोद्भवं विद्धि ब्रह्माक्षरसमुद्भवम् । तस्मात्सर्वगतं ब्रह्म नित्यं यज्ञे प्रतिष्ठितम् ॥
karma brahmodbhavaṃ viddhi brahmākṣara-samudbhavam | tasmāt sarva-gataṃ brahma nityaṃ yajñe pratiṣṭhitam ||
"Action arises from Brahman, Brahman from the Imperishable. The all-pervading ultimate is present in every act of yajna."
