Atithi-prāpti and the Brāhmaṇa’s Deliberation on Triadic Dharma (अतिथिप्राप्तिः धर्मत्रयविचारश्च)
येन यः कल्पितो भाग: स तथा मामुपागतः । प्रीतो5हं प्रदिशाम्यद्य फलमावृत्तिलक्षणम्,“देवताओ! जिसने जो भाग हमारे लिये निश्चित किया था, वह उसी रूपमें मुझे प्राप्त हो गया। इससे प्रसन्न होकर आज मैं तुम्हें पुनरावृत्तिरूप फल प्रदान करता हूँ
yena yaḥ kalpito bhāgaḥ sa tathā mām upāgataḥ | prīto 'haṃ pradiśāmy adya phalam āvṛtti-lakṣaṇam ||
«يا معشرَ الآلهة! إنّ النصيب الذي عيّنه كلُّ واحدٍ منكم لي قد بلغني على الصورة نفسها. وإذ سُرِرتُ بذلك، فإني أمنحكم اليوم ثوابًا علامتُه “العودة” — ثمرة الرجوع إلى مقامكم ومساركم اللائقين.»

Educational Q&A
Actions and allotments made according to order (bhāga) return their corresponding results; when what is due is properly received, a fitting fruit is bestowed—here described as a result marked by ‘return’ (āvṛtti), emphasizing karmic reciprocity and restoration to one’s proper course.
The speaker (Vaiśaṃpāyana, narrating) conveys that the deities’ assigned share has reached him exactly as intended; satisfied, he declares that he will now grant them a reward characterized by ‘return/recurrence’ (āvṛtti-lakṣaṇa phala).
