srI ranga rAmAnuja muni, using grammar, derives that sentence another way as follows:
"The rishi Ghora Angirasa practiced this Purusha Yajna with the dedication as "This is sub-servient to Krishna, the Son of Devaki". That Ghora Angirasa had not thirst, as he came upon BrahmavidyA through this. At the last moment of his life, he said to Brahman, "you are eternal, you are full of auspicious qualities, you are the subtle truth enlivening this universe".
The acharyan explains "KrishnAya" as "KrishnaseshabhUta" - for the sake of Krishna (the rishi is a sesha).
One must note that even in mantrAs, the "Aya" shabda denotes "for the sake of-", or service performed for the deity.
ityuktvA means anusandhAna.
In my opinion, this is the best interpretation. No other sampradAya has interpreted it this way. But to each his own.
