Chapter 29
गवां सहस्रानुचरं दक्षिणामत्यकालयत् । उन्होंने उस यज्ञमें एक करोड़ सुवर्णमालाधारी गाय, बैल और उनके सहस्रों सेवक दक्षिणारूपमें दिये थे ।। अड्गस्य यजमानस्य तदा विष्णुपदे गिरौ
gavāṁ sahasrānucaraṁ dakṣiṇām atyakalayat | aṅgasya yajamānasya tadā viṣṇupade girau ||
ବାୟୁ କହିଲେ—“ସେ ସହସ୍ର ସହସ୍ର ଗାଈକୁ ତାଙ୍କର ସେବକମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଦକ୍ଷିଣାରୂପେ ଦାନ କଲେ। ତେବେ ଯଜମାନ ଅଙ୍ଗଙ୍କର ସେ ଯଜ୍ଞ ବିଷ୍ଣୁପଦ ପର୍ବତରେ ଦାନଧର୍ମର ମହିମାରେ ଦୀପ୍ତ ହୋଇ ସମ୍ପନ୍ନ ହେଲା।”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the dharmic ideal that sacrifice is completed and ethically validated through generous dakṣiṇā—giving wealth (here, cattle and attendants) in a spirit that supports priests and society, turning ritual into moral action.
Vāyu describes how the sacrificer Aṅga, at the sacred site called Viṣṇupada on a mountain, distributed an exceptionally large dakṣiṇā consisting of many cattle along with their attendants, emphasizing the grandeur and righteousness of the rite.
