Transliteration
svayaṁ bhāgam upāprāya puroḍāśaṁ gṛhītavān | adṛśyena hṛto bhāgo devena harimedhasā ||
Translation
Bhishma said: Having himself come to claim his rightful share, he took the sacrificial cake (puroḍāśa). That allotted portion was carried off invisibly by a divine being of keen, Hari-like intelligence—remaining unseen, he accepted what had been offered for him and, by merely smelling it, brought it under his control.
