Sau khi dâng bali (lễ vật cúng) và trải qua đêm ấy, hãy tiễn nàng về, làm nàng mãn nguyện bằng tặng phẩm tài vật; rồi hãy thết đãi các bà-la-môn bằng nhiều loại thức ăn cùng sự tiếp đãi đúng phép.
Sanatkumara (teaching Narada)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: bhakti
The verse emphasizes completing a rite with dharmic closure: offerings (bali), respectful send-off with gifts (dāna), and feeding brāhmaṇas—actions that convert ritual performance into merit through generosity and honoring sacred learning.
Though framed as ritual procedure, it supports bhakti through seva and humility—serving the Lord’s devotees (brāhmaṇas) and practicing giving (dāna), which are traditional devotional expressions in Purāṇic dharma.
It highlights prayoga (applied ritual procedure): sequencing of acts (bali → night observance → gifting → brāhmaṇa-bhojana) and the ancillary duty of bhojana-vidhi/atithi-satkāra, consistent with kalpa-style technical guidance.
