After Yudhishthira had partaken his food, the daughter of Prishata (Draupadi) took what remained. After Draupadi had taken her meal, the food became exhausted. The lord (Yudhishthira) as resplendent as the sun thus obtaining the boon from the sun, entertained the Brahmanas agrecable to their wishes. Obedient to his priest, he performed sacrifices with due Mantras and according to the ordinances and Shastras on auspicious lunar days, constellations and conjunctions.
युधिष्ठिरं भोजयित्वा शेषमश्नाति पार्षती। द्रौपद्यां भुज्यमानायां तदन्नं क्षयमेति च। एवं दिवाकरात् प्राप्य दिवाकरसमप्रभः॥ कामान् मनोऽभिलषितान् ब्राह्मणेभ्योऽददात् प्रभुः। पुरोहितपुरोगाश्च तिथिनक्षत्रपर्वसु। यज्ञियार्थाः प्रवर्तन्ते विधिमन्त्रप्रमाणतः॥
