Bhagavad Gita 4.30

Krishna speaking to Arjuna

अपरे नियताहाराः प्राणान्प्राणेषु जुह्वति। सर्वेऽप्येते यज्ञविदो यज्ञक्षपितकल्मषाः ॥

apare niyatāhārāḥ prāṇān prāṇeṣu juhvati sarve py 'ete yajña-vido yajña-kṣapita-kalmaṣāḥ

Others regular in food, pour as sacrifice their life-breaths in life-breaths. All these are knowers of sacrifice, and by sacrifice have destroyed their sins.

In plain words: Krishna says others eat in a controlled way and offer up their life energy that way. All these people understand what true sacrifice is, and through it they have cleansed themselves of wrongdoing.
