Shloka 2
अश्वमेधावसानम् — Dakṣiṇā-vibhāga and Avabhṛtha
Completion of the Aśvamedha
तस्माद् यज्ञफलैस्तुल्यं न किंचिदिह दृश्यते । इति मे वर्तते बुद्धिस्तथा चैतदसंशयम्,अत: यज्ञफलकी समानता करनेवाला कोई कर्म यहाँ मुझे नहीं दिखायी देता है। यज्ञके सम्बन्धमें मेरा तो ऐसा ही विचार है और नि:संदेह यही ठीक है
tasmād yajñaphalais tulyaṃ na kiñcid iha dṛśyate | iti me vartate buddhis tathā caitad asaṃśayam ||
ジャナメージャヤは言った。「ゆえに、この世において供犠（ヤジュニャ）の果報に等しいものは何ひとつ見当たらぬ。これがわが確定した理解であり――このことに疑いはない。」

Educational Q&A
The verse asserts the supreme efficacy of yajña (sacrificial duty) in producing spiritual and social merit: no other action is seen as equal to the fruits of properly performed sacrifice, reflecting a dharmic valuation of ritual responsibility and its results.
King Janamejaya states his firm conviction about the unmatched rewards of sacrificial rites, reinforcing the discussion in the Ashvamedhika context where royal yajñas and their dharmic significance are being considered.
