Others, having their food regulated, offer the vital forces in the vital forces. All of them are knowers of the sacrifice and have their sins destroyed by the sacrifice.

हिन्दी अनुवाद — Swami Tejomayānanda

दूसरे नियमित आहार करने वाले (साधक जन) प्राणों को प्राणों में हवन करते हैं। ये सभी यज्ञ को जानने वाले हैं, जिनके पाप यज्ञ के द्वारा नष्ट हो चुके हैं।।

from Q&A with KnA
4.26–4.33The kinds of yajña.

Kṛṣṇa lists them like rungs of a ladder. Some offer the senses into the fire of restraint; some offer the sense-objects into the fire of the senses; some offer all the functions of the senses and the breath into the fire of self-control kindled by knowledge. Some sacrifice with wealth, some by austerity, some by yoga; some by the study of scripture and by knowledge (svādhyāya-jñāna-yajña); some by the disciplined regulation of the in-breath and out-breath (prāṇāyāma); some by moderating their food. Every one of these is a genuine offering. But the conclusion (4.33) is decisive: the sacrifice of Knowledge (jñāna-yajña) is greater than any sacrifice of things, “for all action, without exception, culminates in Knowledge.” The material offerings purify; Knowledge liberates.
