Bhagavad Gita 3.12

BG 3.12 — Chapter 3 (The Yoga of Action), Verse 12, with Sanskrit, transliteration & translation.

इष्टान्भोगान्हि वो देवा दास्यन्ते यज्ञभाविताः | तैर्दत्तानप्रदायैभ्यो यो भुङ्क्ते स्तेन एव सः ||३-१२||

🕉

iṣṭānbhogānhi vo devā dāsyante yajñabhāvitāḥ . tairdattānapradāyaibhyo yo bhuṅkte stena eva saḥ ||3-12||

Roman: ishtanbhoganhi vo deva dasyante yajnabhavitah . tairdattanapradayaibhyo yo bhunkte stena eva sah

The gods, nourished by the sacrifice, will give you the desired objects. So, he who enjoys the objects given by the gods without offering (in return) to them, is verily a thief.
