एवमुक्त्वा ततः सर्वं तेषां कृत्यं महीपतिः । स्वयमेवाकरोन्नित्यं दिवारात्रमतंद्रितः

Pagkasabi nito, ang hari ay siya mismong nagsagawa ng lahat ng kailangang tungkulin para sa kanila—palagi, araw at gabi, nang walang pagpapabaya.
Narrator (describing the king’s conduct)
Scene: The king, sleeves rolled, overseeing offerings, arranging supplies, and assisting Brahmins—shown across day and night: sun on one side, moon and lamps on the other, indicating continuous service.
True piety is sustained action—dharma requires ongoing service and protection, not a single ceremonial gift.
The tīrtha context remains in the background; this verse highlights exemplary conduct supporting sacred institutions.
Continuous service (kṛtya) to support the Brahmin beneficiaries—performed diligently day and night.
