सत्कृत्य द्विजमुख्यानां श्वःप्रभाते प्रदीयताम्। घृतं दधि च लाजाश्च दक्षिणाश्चापि पुष्कलाः
satkṛtya dvijamukhyānāṃ śvaḥprabhāte pradīyatām| ghṛtaṃ dadhi ca lājāśca dakṣiṇāścāpi puṣkalāḥ
At dawn tomorrow the best of brahmins be honoured with cooked rice clarified butter, curd, roasted corn and gifts in abundance.
— M.N. Dutt (1891)
Commentary
Brahmins are to be honoured with clarified butter, curd, roasted corn, and gifts at dawn. The specific offerings follow the Vedic protocol for royal ceremonies. The king feeds the priests who will invoke the gods' blessings on Rama.
