The mighty armed son of Pandu having caused these Brahmanas to pronounce, in clear voices, benedictions on him, by making presents of honey, clarified butter and delicious fruits of the best sort, gave away to every one them a Niksha of gold, a hundred steeds adorned with golden caparisons and precious garments and other presents that were liked by them.
अक्षतैः सुमनोभिश्च वाचयित्वा महाभुजः। तान् द्विजान् मधुसर्पि• फलैः श्रेष्ठैः सुमङ्गलैः॥ प्रादात् काञ्चनमेकैकं निष्कं विप्राय पाण्डवः। अलंकृतं चाश्वशतं वासांसीष्टाश्च दक्षिणाः॥
