Sanskrit
ब्रह्मार्पणं ब्रह्म हविर्ब्रह्माग्नौ ब्रह्मणा हुतम् । ब्रह्मैव तेन गन्तव्यं ब्रह्मकर्मसमाधिना ॥
brahmārpaṇaṃ brahma havir brahmāgnau brahmaṇā hutam brahmaiva tena gantavyaṃ brahma-karma-samādhinā
Translation
The Eternal the oblation, the Eternal the clarified butter, are offered in the Eternal fire by the Eternal; unto the Eternal verily shall he go who in his action meditateth wholly upon the Eternal.

Explanation
The famous “brahmārpaṇam” verse, built entirely from five-fold repetition of a single word, brahma, “the Eternal,” as the oblation, the offered substance, the fire, the offerer, and the destination — collapsing every distinct element of a Vedic sacrifice into a single non-dual reality. It’s the chapter’s most compressed statement of the yajña-as-metaphysics idea verse 23 introduced, and the catalogue of specific sacrificial types in verses 25-30 exists to show, case by case, that any of them can be performed with this same understanding.
