"Having resolved upon the slayer of Drona, Drupada, lord of the earth, performed all that for the accomplishment of the rite. At the end of the oblation Yaja summoned the queen: 'Come to me, O queen Prishati; the pair of twins has appeared for you.' She replied: 'My mouth is anointed, O brahmin, and I am wearing sacred perfumes; for the sake of a son I am not yet ready — wait, Yaja, until I am ready.' Yaja said: 'The oblation, cooked by Yaja and consecrated by Upayaja's mantra — how could it fail to fulfill the wish? As for you — come here or stay where you stand.'"

Here the efficacy of a consecrated rite does not depend on some incidental unreadiness. Yaja's words are telling: the oblation, cooked by him and consecrated by his brother's mantra, will inescapably fulfill its purpose — the power of the sacrifice lies in the sacrifice itself, not in circumstance. This shows that an act sanctified by mantra carries its own force, one that exceeds human calculation. Telling, too, is the impatience of the moment: the queen hesitates, but the rite does not wait. The verse thus shows that the fruit of a rightly performed sacrifice cannot be revoked; and from this instant is born a wondrous pair, in whom providence's design takes form.
