How can Devaṛṇa be compensated ?

  • A.Brahmac’arya
  • B.Giving birth to children
  • C.Performing Yajña
  • D.Iśvarapraṇidhāna

Answer: C

The debt to the gods (deva-rna) is repaid by performing yajna, so the answer is C.

The Vedic tradition speaks of three debts with which a person is born: to the gods, to the sages and to the ancestors. The debt to the gods is discharged by sacrifice and worship, the debt to the sages by study of the Veda (brahmacarya), and the debt to the ancestors by begetting children to continue the family line.

Brahmacarya (A) pays the debt to the sages and giving birth to children (B) the debt to the ancestors. Isvarapranidhana (D), devotion to God, is a Yoga practice that is not one of the three repayments.
