Nhờ vậy, ông hoàn tất việc tế lễ của họ, kính trọng từng hạng hữu linh bằng đúng lễ vật đã định, giữ trọn phép tắc cung kính trong nghi thức.

Educational Q&A

The verse underscores dharmic ritual propriety: honoring different classes of beings (Yakṣas, bhūtas, their lords) with appropriate offerings sustains order and harmony within a major rite, reflecting disciplined reverence rather than arbitrary worship.

During the ritual sequence, offerings are presented to Kubera (as Yakṣa-lord), to Maṇibhadra, and to other Yakṣas and bhūta-lords—using kṛsara, meat, and sesame-mixed oblations—thereby completing their prescribed worship as part of the larger ceremonial context.
