Nakula’s Declaration and the Uñchavṛtti Brāhmaṇa’s Superior Merit (Āśvamedhika Parva, Adhyāya 92)
यथाशक्त्या भगवता तदन्नं समुपार्जितम् | तस्मिन् सत्रे तु यद् वृत्तं यद् योग्यं च तदाभवत्
vaiśampāyana uvāca | yathāśaktyā bhagavatā tad annaṃ samupārjitam | tasmin satre tu yad vṛttaṃ yad yogyaṃ ca tadābhavat |
毗湿摩波耶那说道：那位可敬的圣仙竭尽所能，为那场祭会备办了清净的供食。于此仪式之中，所发生的一切皆恰如其分、合乎法度——诸事依祭礼自身应有的次第与功德而展开。

The verse emphasizes dharmic proportionality: one should undertake sacred duties and charitable/ritual responsibilities according to one’s capacity (yathāśaktyā), with purity of means. When actions are aligned with propriety and right order, outcomes tend to be ‘yogya’—fitting to the moral and ritual context.
Vaiśampāyana reports that the revered sage (understood in context as Agastya) procured pure provisions for a sacrificial session. During that satra, events unfolded in a manner appropriate to the rite—nothing improper or out of place occurred; the sacrifice proceeded as it ought to.
