मन्त्रयुक्तानू समददत् ते च प्रीतास्तदा भवन् । महाराज! तदनन्तर त्रितने देवताओंको विधिपूर्वक मन्त्रोच्चारण करते हुए उनके भाग समर्पित किये। इससे वे उस समय बड़े प्रसन्न हुए
mantrayuktānū samadadat te ca prītās tadā bhavan | mahārāja! tadanantaraṃ tritane devatābhyo vidhipūrvakaṃ mantroccāraṇaṃ kṛtvā teṣāṃ bhāgān samarpitavān | tena te tadā mahāprītā abhavan |
Vaiśampāyana said: “Having duly accompanied the offerings with sacred mantras, he distributed them; and the gods, receiving their rightful portions according to ritual, became greatly pleased. O great king, thereafter he offered the prescribed shares to the deities with proper mantra-recitation—an act that affirms reverence for cosmic order and the ethics of giving what is due.”
