Meaning of the Prayer Mantra:

From that rite, in which everything is a part, curd and ghee are obtained;
the creatures flying in the air, moving in the forests and villages emerge.

Notes:

1. sarva hutaH - everything is offered; saMBhrutaM - got;
pRuShadAjyam - curd and ghee.

2. sarva hutaH - Everything is part of that rite. 
The Supreme Yagya, which is this creation, is done by the God
for the benefit of the lives. So everything is a part of that 
Supreme Yagya!

3. The inanimate material like the curd and ghee emerge from that creation.
The animate creatures - those on the air or in the wild or domestic -
also emerge from that rite!
