Having received the boon, the son of Kunti, knower of dharma, came out of the water, bowed at Dhaumya's feet, and embraced his brothers. Having come together with Draupadi, the lord went to the kitchen; there the Pandava began to prepare food. The fourfold food of the forest, prepared by him, brought abundance and grew inexhaustibly; with it he fed the brahmins. While the brahmins ate, he fed his younger brothers; then Yudhishthira himself ate the remainder, called vighasa, and after Yudhishthira the daughter of Drupada ate what remained. Thus, having received from the Sun the blessings desired by his heart, the lord, radiant as the Sun, gave them to the brahmins.

The order of eating matters here more than the miracle itself. The inexhaustible food enters into the discipline of service: first the guests and brahmins, then the brothers, then the king, and last of all Draupadi. Grace shows itself not as unchecked abundance but as a restored order of sacrifice.
