火供の終わりに、祭司は王妃に命じた。「急いで我がもとへ来なさい、王妃よ、プṛṣタの嫁よ。二人（の子）が、そなたのためにすでに備わっている。」さらに、男子と女子とを得るであろうこと、そしてその少年と少女が父の家系を増し広げる因となることを示した。

Educational Q&A
The verse links personal events (the birth of children) to dharma: ritual action and rightful intention are portrayed as supporting social order, especially the continuity of lineage and responsibility within a royal house.
After the fire-offering concludes, the priest calls the queen (connected with Pṛṣata) and tells her to come receive the sacrificial outcome, announcing that a pair of children—a son and a daughter—are ready to be granted, destined to strengthen their father’s family line.
