Chapter 29
चषाले यस्य सौवर्णे तस्मिन् यूपे हिरण्मये । ननुतुर्देवगन्धर्वा: घट सहस्रनाणि सप्तधा
caṣāle yasya sauvarṇe tasmin yūpe hiraṇmaye | nanutur devagandharvāḥ ghaṭa-sahasraṇāṇi saptadhā |
वायु बोले— उस स्वर्णमय यूप पर जो सुवर्ण चषाल जड़ा था, उसके ऊपर देवगन्धर्वों के छः हजार समूह सात प्रकार की ताल-लय में नृत्य करते थे।

The verse highlights how righteous, well-performed sacrifice and patronage of sacred rites are portrayed as generating a harmony that benefits all—so much so that each being feels personally included. Ethically, it underscores the ideal of actions that create shared auspiciousness rather than private gain.
Vāyu describes a magnificent sacrificial setting: a golden yūpa adorned with a golden caṣāla, where Devas and Gandharvas dance, and the Gandharva Viśvāvasu plays the vīṇā according to the seven notes, creating an all-encompassing, universally felt celebration.
