Translation

When all the brāhmaṇas engage in performing sacrifices in your kingdom, all the demigods, who are plenary expansions of the Lord, will be very much satisfied by their activities and will give you your desired result. Therefore, O hero, do not stop the sacrificial performances. If you stop them, you will disrespect the demigods.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

The devatās, portions of the Lord, properly worshipped, very satisfied by sacrifice performed by brāhmaṇas in your kingdom, will give whatever you desire. O hero! You should not disrespect them. Ceṣṭitum means to do.
