Adhyāya 33: Antarvedī-Samāgama, Arghya-Nirṇaya, and Śiśupāla’s Objection
भुज्जतां चैव विप्राणां वदतां च महास्वन: । अनिशं श्रूयते तत्र मुदितानां महात्मनाम्,वहाँ भोजन करते और बोलते हुए आनन्दमग्न महात्मा ब्राह्मणोंका निरन्तर महान् कोलाहल सुनायी पड़ता था
bhujjatāṃ caiva viprāṇāṃ vadatāṃ ca mahāsvanaḥ | aniśaṃ śrūyate tatra muditānāṃ mahātmanām ||
ત્યાં ભોજન કરતા અને વાતો કરતા આનંદિત મહાત્મા બ્રાહ્મણોનો સતત મહાન્ કિલકિલાટ સંભળાતો હતો.

The verse highlights dharmic hospitality and social harmony: when respected guests—especially learned brāhmaṇas—are properly welcomed and nourished, the community’s well-being is reflected in joyful, orderly conviviality rather than fear or coercion.
The narrator describes the atmosphere at the venue: noble brāhmaṇas are eating and talking, and their continuous, loud, happy hubbub is heard throughout the place, indicating a festive and well-provisioned gathering.
