All this food, brought from the kitchen, was placed before Chyavana. A seat was also placed for him and a bed too was spread. The dishes were then caused to be covered with white cloths. Soon, however, Chyavana of Bhrigu's race put fire to all the things and reduced them to ashes.
अथ सर्वमुपन्यस्तमग्रतश्च्यवनस्य तत्। ततः सर्वं समानीय तच्च शय्यासनं मुनिः॥ वस्त्रैः शुभैरवच्छाद्य भोजनोपस्करैः सह। सर्वमादीपयामास च्यवनो भृगुनन्दनः॥
