Shloka 82
अतितात्रस्य यज्ञस्थ फल प्राप्रोति मानव: । प्राप्तुयाच्च क्रतुफलं तथा पर्वणि पर्वणि
atirātrasya yajñasthaṁ phalaṁ prāpnoti mānavaḥ | prāptuyāc ca kratuphalaṁ tathā parvaṇi parvaṇi |
Vaiśampāyana berkata: “Dengan melakukan demikian, seseorang memperoleh pahala korban suci Atirātra; dan demikian juga, dengan memuliakan para Brāhmaṇa pada penutup setiap upacara (parvan), dia meraih buah suatu korban Veda (śrauta).”

Educational Q&A
That sincere acts of reverence and giving—especially honoring Brahmins at the completion of each sacred observance—can yield spiritual merit equivalent to performing major śrauta sacrifices like the Atirātra.
Vaiśampāyana is describing the religious merit (phala) obtained through prescribed conduct: performing certain acts grants the fruit of the Atirātra sacrifice, and repeated honoring of Brahmins at each parvan grants the fruit of Vedic sacrificial rites.
