Gaṅgā-Tīrtha Darśana and the Prelude to the Yavakrīta–Indra Exemplum (लोमश-युधिष्ठिर संवादः)
महदौक्थ्यं गीयते साम चाग्रयं सम्यक् सोम: पीयते चात्र सत्रे शुचीन् भगान् प्रतिजगृहुश्न हृष्टा: साक्षाद् देवा जनकस्योत राज्ञ:,महाराज जनकके इस यज्ञमें उत्तम एवं महत्त्वपूर्ण और औक्थ्य- सामका गान किया जाता है, विधिपूर्वक सोमरसका पान हो रहा है, देवगण प्रत्यक्ष दर्शन देकर बड़े हर्षके साथ अपने-अपने पवित्र भाग ग्रहण कर रहे हैं
mahadāukthyaṃ gīyate sāma cāgryaṃ samyak somaḥ pīyate cātra satre śucīn bhagān pratijagṛhuś ca hṛṣṭāḥ sākṣād devā janakasyota rājñaḥ
カホーダは言った。「ジャナカ王のこの祭会（サトラ）において、卓越して重きアウクティヤ（Aukthya）の儀が執り行われ、最上のサーマン（Sāman）の詠唱が歌われている。ここではソーマ（Soma）が法にかなって順次に飲まれている。神々はみずから現れ、歓喜して各々の清浄なる分け前を受け取っている。」

Educational Q&A
The verse underscores ritual dharma: when a sacrifice is performed correctly (samyak), with proper chants and offerings, it becomes a meeting-point of human discipline and divine order—so much so that the gods are said to appear and accept their allotted shares. Ethical emphasis falls on correctness, purity, and faithful execution of duty.
Kahoda describes King Janaka’s ongoing sacrificial session: the principal Sāman chants are being sung, Soma is being ritually consumed, and the gods—pleased—are portrayed as visibly present, receiving their pure portions of the offerings.
