ततो द्विजातीन् सर्वास्तान् दक्षिणाभिरतोषयत् । पूजिताश्चापि ते राज्ञा ततो जम्मुर्यथागतम्,राजाने यज्ञकर्ममें सम्मिलित हुए समस्त ब्राह्मणोंको पर्याप्त दक्षिणा देकर संतुष्ट किया तथा वे ब्राह्मण भी राजासे यथोचित सम्मान पाकर जैसे आये थे उसी तरह अपने घरको लौट गये
tato dvijātīn sarvāṁs tān dakṣiṇābhir atoṣayat | pūjitāś cāpi te rājñā tato jagmur yathāgatam ||

Having also been duly revered by the king, those Brahmins departed thereafter, returning to their homes just as they had come. The passage underscores royal dharma: completing sacred rites by honoring the officiants with generosity and respect, so that the ritual concludes in social harmony and ethical propriety.
