FAQs
This verse indicates that wealth remaining after a sacrificial session (satra-pariśeṣa) is to be given as a righteous gift, showing yajña naturally culminates in dāna (charity).
The instruction is to offer praise through verses connected with the Viśvedevas—deities associated with universal beneficence—so that the departing sacrificers bestow the remaining wealth as a blessed offering.
After any sacred or meaningful work, share the “remainder” (money, food, time, skills) in charity—making spiritual practice naturally express itself as generosity.
