याज्ञवल्क्यो बभूवाथ ब्रह्निष्ठो5 ध्वर्युसत्तम: । पैलो होता वसो: पुत्रो धौम्पेन सहितो5भवत्,और ब्रह्मनिष्ठ याज्ञवल्क्य उस यज्ञके श्रेष्ठतम अध्वर्यु थे। वसुपुत्र पैल धौम्य मुनिके साथ होता बने थे
yājñavalkyo babhūvātha brahmaniṣṭho ’dhvaryusattamaḥ | pailo hotā vasoḥ putro dhaumpena sahito ’bhavat ||
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは語った。ついで、ブラフマンに堅く帰依するヤージュニャヴァルキヤが、その祭儀における最上のアドヴァリュ（adhvaryu）となった。さらにヴァスの子パイラは、聖仙ダウミヤとともにホートリ（hotṛ）として仕えた。

Educational Q&A
Ritual authority in dharma depends on inner qualification: those who are brahmaniṣṭha (spiritually grounded) and properly trained should lead sacred acts, ensuring the rite serves truth and order rather than ego or mere formality.
Vaiśampāyana identifies the principal priests appointed for a sacrifice: Yājñavalkya is named the foremost adhvaryu, while Paila (son of Vasu), along with Dhaumya, serves as the hotṛ—establishing the ritual personnel and their roles.
