दक्षयज्ञात जे आले होते—सती व ईश्वरवर्जित—त्यांना यथाविधी सन्मान, भेटवस्तू, वस्त्रे व अलंकार देऊन सत्कार करण्यात आला।
Narrator (Skanda-to-Agastya frame implied)
Scene: Guests at the sacrifice receive garments, ornaments, and honors; attendants present folded cloth and garlands; yet an empty, unhonored place symbolically marks the absence of Satī and Īśvara.
External honor and splendid reception cannot sanctify an act that excludes the divine; inner devotion is the true consecration.
No tīrtha is directly praised; the verse describes the social-ritual setting of Dakṣa’s yajña.
Ritual hospitality—honoring attendees with respectful reception, garments, and adornments—is indicated, though not detailed as a manual.
