ऊचुश्चैनं महाभागं प्राप्ता भागार्थिनो वयम् | वहाँ पहुँचकर देवताओंने उस कूपको देखा
ūcuś cainaṃ mahābhāgaṃ prāptā bhāgārthino vayam |
ವೈಶಂಪಾಯನನು ಹೇಳಿದನು—ಅವರು ಆ ಮಹಾಭಾಗ ಮುನಿಯ ಬಳಿಗೆ ಹೋಗಿ ಹೀಗೆಂದರು—“ನಾವು ಯಜ್ಞದಲ್ಲಿನ ನಮ್ಮ ನಿಯತ ಭಾಗವನ್ನು ಪಡೆಯಲು ಬಂದಿದ್ದೇವೆ; ನಮ್ಮ ಭಾಗವನ್ನು ದಯಪಾಲಿಸು.”

The verse underscores yajña-dharma: those entitled to a sacrificial portion should receive it. Ethical order is maintained when offerings and honors are distributed according to rightful claim rather than whim.
The gods arrive at the scene where the consecrated sage Trita is present and address him directly, stating that they have come to receive their share of the sacrifice.
