Shloka 9
Adhyāya 283: Varṇa-vṛtti, Nyāya-ārjana, and the Decline-and-Restoration of Dharma (वर्णवृत्तिः न्यायार्जनं च)
ऋषय: पितरश्वैव आगता ब्रह्मणा सह । ऊष्मपा (सूर्यकी किरणोंका पान करनेवाले), सोमपा (सोमरस पीनेवाले), धूमपा (यज्ञमें धूम-पान करनेवाले) और आज्यपा (घृत-पान करनेवाले) पितर और ऋषि भी ब्रह्माजीके साथ उस यज्ञमें पधारे थे ।। एते चान्ये च बहवो भूतग्रामाश्षतुर्विधा:
ṛṣayaḥ pitaraś caiva āgatā brahmaṇā saha | ūṣmapāḥ somapā dhūmapā ājyapāś ca pitara ṛṣayaś ca brahmaṇā saha tasmin yajñe samāgatāḥ || ete cānye ca bahavo bhūtagrāmāś caturvidhāḥ |
Vaiśampāyana said: The seers and the Fathers (Pitṛs) also arrived together with Brahmā. Those Pitṛs and Ṛṣis—called ‘drinkers of heat’ (ūṣmapā), ‘drinkers of Soma’ (somapā), ‘drinkers of sacrificial smoke’ (dhūmapā), and ‘drinkers of ghee’ (ājyapā)—came with Brahmā to that sacrifice. And besides these, many other multitudes of beings of four kinds were present as well.
