Chapter 29
आविक्षितस्य वै सत्रे विश्वेदवा: सभासद: । मरुतः परिवेष्टार: साध्याश्नासन् महात्मन:,“महामना मरुत्तके यज्ञमें विश्वेदेवणण सभासद थे और मरुद्गण तथा साध्यगण रसोई परोसनेका काम करते थे
Āvikṣitasya vai satre viśve devāḥ sabhāsadaḥ | marutaḥ pariveṣṭāraḥ sādhyāśnāsan mahātmanaḥ ||
ಆವಿಕ್ಷಿತನ ಮಹಾತ್ಮನ ಸತ್ರಯಜ್ಞದಲ್ಲಿ ವಿಶ್ವೇದೇವರು ಸಭಾಸದರಾಗಿ ಕುಳಿತಿದ್ದರು; ಮರುತ್ಗಣಗಳು ಪರಿವೇಷಕರಾಗಿ ಸೇವೆ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದರು; ಸಾಧ್ಯರು ಭೋಜನವನ್ನು ಸ್ವೀಕರಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದರು.

The verse underscores that when a sacrifice is conducted in accordance with dharma—proper order, reverence, and generosity—even the gods are portrayed as participating harmoniously, each taking a fitting role. Ethical excellence in ritual and patronage creates social and cosmic concord.
Vāyu describes the grandeur of Āvikṣit’s satra: the Viśvedevas sit as honored assembly members, the Maruts act as attendants distributing provisions, and the Sādhyas partake of the meal—depicting a divinely attended sacrificial gathering.
