The Yagna being smaller than the smallest and greater than greatest is all-pervading and incomparable. Even the relationship between man and woman has been described as Yajna. In the modern world, the relationship between men and women has been reduced to physical attraction. Therefore to see the relationship between man and woman as the Yajna principle, it is important to have a Vedic Darshan (perspective). From the perspective of Sruti, everything is pure and is Yajna. One who opposes the principle of Yajna is adharmic as they oppose the process of creation, maintenance and destruction as described in the Vedas. Gita enunciates the Sattvic person’s vision from the Vedic perspective.  <blockquote>"''ब्रह्मर्पनम् ब्रह्म हविह् |<br>ब्रह्मग्नौ ब्रह्मन हुतम् ब्रह्मैव तेन् गन्तव्य ब्रह्म कर्म समधिन || (Gita 4-24)''"</blockquote><blockquote>"''brahmarpanam brahma havih |''"</blockquote><blockquote>"''brahmagnau brahmana hutam brahmaiva ten gantavya brahma karma samadhina || (Gita 4-24)''"</blockquote>Brahman is offering, brahman is oblation, brahman is the havissu (the sanctified Prasadam). Brahman is Agni, the performer is the Purusha and the results reach the Brahman, this process is termed brahma karma samadhi of  Karmayoga. This is how the Yagna becomes the foundation for Vedanta Darshan.

The ashvamedha yajna was a double-edged sword, in that it could deliver great results and ensure an elevated life for the performer, but it could also prove disastrous if there were to be single lapse. It was believed that brahma rakshasas attacked and destroyed the performer as soon as that single error was committed. Brahma raksasas were brahmanas in their previous birth reborn as demon for sins they had commite in their past lives. Whenever such sacrifices took place, brahma raksasas would start hovering over the sacrificial arena waiting for a single mistake. <ref name=":0"> Shubha Vilas ''[http://www.jaicobooks.com/j/j_searchtry.asp?selcat=author_name&keyword=Shubha%20Vilas (Ramayana, The Game of Life)]'' Book 1 : Roar with courage page 34-36</ref>
