Educational Q&A
The verse teaches reciprocal dharma: a ruler (or householder) sustains cosmic and social order by performing well-appointed sacrifices, giving proper dakṣiṇā, and honoring both gods (through Soma offerings) and ancestors (through svadhā rites).
Vaiśaṃpāyana narrates an instruction urging the performance of multiple, properly funded sacrifices, emphasizing the traditional twofold obligation—propitiating the devas and the pitṛs—so that prosperity and legitimacy are maintained through dharmic ritual action.
