Jarītā–Śārṅgā-saṃvāda: Ākhu-haraṇa and the Approach of Agni (आखुहरणं अग्न्यागमनश्च)
यज्वा दानपतिर्धीमान् यथा नान्यो<स्ति कश्नन । ईजे च स महायजै: क्रतुभिश्चाप्तदक्षिणै:,उस समय उनके-जैसा यज्ञ करनेवाला, दाता और बुद्धिमान् दूसरा कोई नहीं था। उन्होंने पर्याप्त दक्षिणावाले अनेक बड़े-बड़े यज्ञोंका अनुष्ठान किया था
Vaiśampāyana uvāca: yajvā dānapatir dhīmān yathā nānyo 'sti kaścana | īje ca sa mahāyajñaiḥ kratubhiś cāptadakṣiṇaiḥ ||
ဝိုင်ရှမ္ပါယနက မိန့်တော်မူ၏—«သူသည် ယဇ္ဉပြုသူ၊ အလှူဒါန၏ အရှင်၊ ဉာဏ်ပညာရှိသူဖြစ်၍ သူနှင့်တူသူ မရှိသလောက်ပင်။ သင့်လျော်၍ များပြားသော ဒက္ခိဏာ (dakṣiṇā) များဖြင့် ပြည့်စုံစွာ၊ ကြီးမားသော ယဇ္ဉများနှင့် ကရတုအမျိုးမျိုးကို များစွာ ဆောင်ရွက်ခဲ့၏»။

The verse upholds the dharmic ideal of righteous prosperity: true excellence is shown not merely by wealth or power, but by performing sacred duties (yajña/kratu) and by generous, proper giving (dakṣiṇā) that sustains the ritual order and honors those who serve it.
Vaiśampāyana is describing a distinguished figure’s exemplary conduct—his unmatched capacity for sacrifice, generosity, and wisdom—emphasizing that he performed many major Vedic rites and ensured they were completed with sufficient sacrificial gifts.
