Shloka 86
ततो हि वरणं कार्य द्विजानां भरतर्षभ | सर्वकामैर्यथान्यायं साधुभिश् पृथग्विधै:
tato hi varaṇaṁ kārya dvijānāṁ bharatarṣabha | sarvakāmair yathānyāyaṁ sādhubhiḥ pṛthagvidhaiḥ ||
Oleh itu, wahai banteng di antara keturunan Bharata, memang wajar memilih dan memuliakan kaum dwija (brāhmaṇa). Orang yang berbudi hendaklah, menurut keadilan dan adat yang benar, menyembah mereka dengan sewajarnya—menunaikan pelbagai hajat dan keperluan mereka dengan cara yang patut.”

Educational Q&A
That righteous people should act with yathānyāya—fairness and propriety—by honoring brāhmaṇas and meeting their legitimate needs, treating such support as a dharmic obligation rather than mere generosity.
Vaiśampāyana continues his instruction by stating a normative rule of conduct: the virtuous should select and honor the dvijas, offering appropriate worship and gifts in diverse forms, aligning social-religious practice with dharma.
