palayanti-execute the order; praja-palah-the rulers of the world, namely the sons and grandsons of Manu; yavat antam-unto the end of Manu's reign; vibhagasah-in divisions; yajna-bhaga-bhujah-the enjoyers of the result of yajnas; devah-the demigods; ye-others; ca-also; tatra anvitah-engaged in that business; ca-also; taih-by them.
TRANSLATION
To enjoy the results of sacrifices [yajnas], the rulers of the world, namely the sons and grandsons of Manu, discharge the orders of the Supreme Personality of Godhead until the end of Manu's reign. The demigods also share the results of these sacrifices.
PURPORT
As stated in Bhagavad-gita (4.2):
evam parampara-praptam
imam rajarsayo viduh "This supreme science was thus received through the chain of disciplic succession, and the saintly kings understood it in that way." This parampara system extends from Manu to Iksvaku and from Iksvaku to his sons and grandsons. The rulers of the world in the line of hierarchy execute the order of the Supreme Personality of Godhead in the parampara system. Anyone interested in peaceful life must participate in this parampara system and perform yajnas. As Gaudiya Vaisnavas in the parampara system of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, we must perform saṅkirtana-yajna all over the world (yajnaih saṅkirtana-prayair yajanti hi sumedhasah). Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is the incarnation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead in this age of Kali, and He will be easily satisfied if the saṅkirtana movement is spread vigorously all over the world. This will also make people happy without a doubt.
