Adhyāya 31: Rājasūya-samāgama — The Gathering of Kings and the Ordering of Hospitality
ऋषिभिर्त्राह्णैश्वैव दैवतैरसुरैरपि । नित्यं सुहुत यज्ञेषु सत्येन विपुनीहि माम्,ऋषि, ब्राह्मण, देवता तथा असुर भी सदा यज्ञ करते समय आपमें आहुति डालते हैं, अपने सत्यके प्रभावसे आप मुझे पवित्र करें
ṛṣibhir trāhṇaiś caiva daivatair asurair api | nityaṃ suhuta yajñeṣu satyena vipunīhi mām ||
ସହଦେବ କହିଲେ—ଋଷି, ବ୍ରାହ୍ମଣ, ଦେବତା ଏବଂ ଅସୁରମାନେ ମଧ୍ୟ ଯଜ୍ଞରେ ସଦା ଆପଣଙ୍କୁ ଉତ୍ତମ ଆହୁତି ଅର୍ପଣ କରନ୍ତି। ନିଜ ସତ୍ୟର ପ୍ରଭାବରେ ମୋତେ ପବିତ୍ର କରନ୍ତୁ।

Educational Q&A
The verse elevates satya (truthfulness) as a purifying force: moral integrity is presented as spiritually cleansing, even within the ritual sphere of yajña.
Sahadeva addresses a revered figure associated with sacrificial offerings, noting that sages, Brahmins, gods, and even asuras offer into him in yajñas, and he requests purification through that figure’s truth-power.
