The verse highlights ritual and moral order: even potentially harmful forces (wild beasts) can be brought under a regulated, consecrated framework when directed toward a sanctioned purpose—here, the rightful distribution of sacrificial portions to the gods. It implies that legitimacy comes from proper consecration and rightful allocation (bhāga) within dharma.
The speaker points out a particular forest-region and identifies it by a traditional account: Indra (Śakra) had consecrated and designated many wild animals there—boars and others—assigning them to the deities in connection with securing the sacrificial share. It functions as a descriptive marker of place and a mythic explanation of why that area is associated with divine-ritual arrangements.
