The verse highlights that dharmic ritual is not merely an external act: when sacrifice is performed by competent sages with correct mantra-recitation and proper offerings, it becomes efficacious and sustains cosmic and moral order, bringing satisfaction to the divine powers.
Vaiśampāyana describes a sacrifice conducted by great seers expert in mantra and śikṣā; through iḍā (ritual praise/recitation), ghee oblations, and other offerings, the gods are said to become pleased and satisfied.
