dravyayajñāstapoyajñā yogayajñāstathāparesvādhyāyajñānayajñāśca yatayaḥ saṃśitavratāḥ
The offering of the striver after perfection may be material and physical (dravyayajña, like that consecrated in worship by the devotee to his deity), or it may be the austerity of self-discipline and energy of his soul directed to some high aim, tapo-yajña, or it may be some form of Yoga (like the prāṇāyāma of the Rajayogins and Hatha-yogins, or any other yoga yajña); or it may be the offerings of reading and knowledge.
Gītā 4·28All these tend to the purification of the being; all sacrifice is a way towards the attainment of the highest.
