📖 Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 3 — Karma Yoga
अन्नाद्भवन्ति भूतानि पर्जन्यादन्नसम्भवः ।

अन्नात्
from food
भवन्ति भूतानि

पर्जन्यात्
from rain
अन्न सम्भवः
food is produced
यज्ञात्
from yajna
भवति पर्जन्यः

यज्ञः
yajna
कर्मसमुद्भवः
is born of action

Here is the cycle laid out in four clean links: action leads to yajna, yajna brings rain, rain produces food, and food sustains all living beings. It reads almost like an ecological chain. One feeds into the next, round and round without end.

This is not merely agricultural science dressed in spiritual language. It is a philosophical vision. When human beings perform right action, the balance of nature is maintained. When they do not, the chain breaks. Individual action is never isolated. Its consequences ripple through the entire web of life.

This is both a scientific and philosophical description of the yajna-cycle. The connection between yajna and rain is a Vedic concept rooted in the idea that human action and natural order are linked.

Verse 3.15 will trace this chain to its ultimate source: Brahman, the imperishable. That will complete the full sequence.
