tataḥ sarvān samānāyya dvijān āśramavāsinaḥ | yathāvidhi samudvāhaṃ kārayāmāsatur nṛpau ||
Then, summoning all the twice-born Brahmins dwelling in the hermitage, the two kings had the marriage rite performed in due form—thus duly solemnizing the union of Satyavān and Sāvitrī according to sacred procedure and social duty.

Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes dharma through proper observance of prescribed rites: even in an ascetic forest setting, social and sacred obligations—here, marriage—are fulfilled by gathering qualified Brahmins and performing the ceremony according to vidhi (scriptural rule).
Dyumatsena narrates that all the Brahmins living in the hermitage were summoned, and the two kings arranged for Satyavān and Sāvitrī’s wedding to be solemnized properly through the traditional marriage ritual.
