Meaning : One who takes for himself the remains of Yagya, which is Amrutaa, Nectar...
'Give and take'... they suggest for worldly dealings.. This phrase in the Gita suggests to 'Give and then take'... Take the remains of Yagya.. If Yagya was to mean 'Offerings to Fire' then Ash is what remains. Yagya is 'giving with a sense of sacrifice'.. 'giving for an unselfish purpose' ... 'giving for welfare of a broader entity'...

Take we all must for our basic existence. "Take remains of a Yagya" may imply two actions.. One, Give and then take.. Give to your fullest extent and then take... The second one is, Take the bare minimum for yourself, A mother exemplifies this in best way. She gives.. and takes bare essentials for herself.. She works, she cooks, she sings, she prays, she plans, she thinks, she does everything for her children and whomsoever she considers as part of Her Family.., Her energy, her time, her intelligence, her capabilities and anything and everything she has is for Her Family. Her sufferings, her pains, her worries are not for others. She keeps these to herself..
Love is the basis on which one can Give. Does mother give due to "Me and Mine" feeling ?? Is possessiveness the basis ? No. Love knows only to give and 'me and mine' feeling or possessiveness knows only to demand ..
Nature too, is made that way.. It gives its best and takes the minimum..
This may also be seen as Selfishness.. Selfishness of an expanded Self or an enlightened Self. To love and to give to the Loved ones is possible if there is Dwaita, that is if there two, the one who loves and the one who is being loved, the one who gives and the one who is being given to... The Aham or Self stands apart.. But, if the Self expands to encompass the Loved ones, then there is no giving.. It is mere Selfishness., an enlightened selfishness ,,,
