Ambarīṣaś ca Nābhāga iṣṭavān Yamunām anu | yatreṣṭvā daśa padmāni sadasyebhyo 'bhisṛṣṭavān ||
ローマシャは言った。「アンバリーシャ（Ambarīṣa）とナーバーガ（Nābhāga）はヤムナー河のほとりで祭祀を行った。そこで祭が成就すると、集う祭官と参列者に、蓮華のごとき十の贈与を分かち与えた。」

The verse underscores that yajña is ethically completed through proper generosity—distributing auspicious gifts (dakṣiṇā) to the assembled officiants and participants—linking ritual performance with social responsibility and dharmic giving.
Lomaśa recounts an example from sacred history: Ambarīṣa and Nābhāga perform a sacrifice on the banks of the Yamunā, and upon completion, gifts described as ‘ten lotuses’ are distributed to the members of the sacrificial assembly.
