Decision on the Highest Honor at the Assembly
सा वेदिदवेंदसम्पन्नैदेवद्धिजमहर्षिभि: । आबभासे समाकीर्णा नक्षत्रैद्यौरिवायता
sā vedī dvija-veda-sampannair deva-dvija-maharṣibhiḥ | ābabhāse samākīrṇā nakṣatrair dyaur ivāyatā ||
Wika ni Vaiśampāyana: Ang dambanang panghandog na yaon, siksik sa mga pantas na Brahmanang batid ang Veda—mga devarṣi, brahmarṣi, at maharṣi—ay nagningning nang marilag, gaya ng malawak na langit na kumikislap kapag pinalamutian ng mga kumpol ng bituin.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
The verse highlights that sacred actions and public ceremonies gain ethical weight and legitimacy when guided by disciplined, Veda-knowing sages; learning and spiritual authority are portrayed as the true adornment of ritual space.
Vaiśampāyana describes a ritual setting in the royal context: the altar is crowded with various classes of revered seers, and their presence makes it shine—compared poetically to the star-filled expanse of the night sky.
