阿瓦维尤说道：“愿你就在此为睿智的布里哈迪尤姆那举行祭会（satra）。为你之故，我将摄持诸根，承担婆罗门杀罪（brahmahatyā）的赎罪之行。”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharma through ritual responsibility and moral repair: grave wrongdoing (brahma-hatyā) calls for expiation, and such atonement should be undertaken with disciplined senses and a sincere intention, even for the sake of another.
A speaker named Avaviyu addresses a respected person, urging him to conduct a satra (a long sacrificial session) for the wise Bṛhaddyumna, while Avaviyu himself vows to undertake the demanding expiation associated with brahma-slaughter, explicitly stating it is done for the other’s benefit and with self-restraint.
