Kanva was the chief priest in those sacrifices and great offerings were made to the Brahmanas. The fortunate king performed both the cow and the horse-sacrifices. Bharata gave one thousand gold coins to Kanva as his sacrificial fee.
याजयामास तं कण्वो विधिवद् भूरिदक्षिणम्। श्रीमान् गोविततं नाम वाजिमेधमवाप सः। यस्मिन् सहस्रं पद्मानां कण्वाय भरतो ददौ॥
