毗耶娑波耶那说：随后，他依仪轨献上祭分——kṛsara（熟煮杂和之食）、肉品，以及掺入芝麻的供献——奉于夜叉之主俱毗罗（Kubera）、摩尼跋陀罗（Maṇibhadra），并同样奉于其余诸夜叉与被视为诸部鬼灵（bhūta）之主者。如此，他以各类众生所当受的供品一一敬奉，圆满完成其祭祀，使仪式不失周备与恭敬之序。

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.
