Ceaselessly there was heard the great din of brahmins feasting and conversing, joyful, great of soul. "Give, give to them! Eat, eat!" — such words were heard there constantly. Hundreds of thousands of cows, and beds, O Bharata, and gold, and [serving-]women, Dharmaraja gave out to each separately.

"Give, give! Eat, eat!" — the very air of the sacrifice rings with a call to giving. It is telling that generosity here is not a measure but abundance overflowing: hundreds of thousands of cows and of gold. The rajasuya reveals dana — giving — as the heart of the rite: the king does not hoard but pours forth. The verse teaches that the holiness of a sacrifice is measured by the breadth of its giving; stingy piety is a contradiction in itself. Where offerings are made to the Lord, there gifts are also given to people without count; and the ceaseless cry "Give!" is the very voice of the generosity by which the devotee becomes like the Lord, who gives all to all.
