With libations of milk and ghee, with oblations accompanied by the precise knowledge of mantras, the gods were satisfied at that far-extending sacrifice, together with the maharishis who were nourished by it. As the gods, so the brahmins — with gifts, food, and great wealth — and with them all the varnas were satisfied at that sacrifice, filled with joy.

The fruit of the sacrifice spreads through all the worlds: the gods above are satisfied, the brahmins and "all the varnas" below. It is telling that the rite binds heaven and earth in one contentment — the libation, rising to the gods, descends again as a blessing upon all. The verse teaches that a true sacrifice leaves no one deprived: by it the whole order of being is nourished, from the gods down to the last of the estates. And the joy that embraces "all the varnas" reveals the purpose of the sacred: not the gain of the one who offers, but the common good; a sacrifice pleasing to the Lord is one from which all are fed and made joyful.
