He then said to the old Brāhmaṇas well-up in sacrificial affairs, and experienced car-makers, and highly pious aged people, and servants, carrying on the ceremonial operations till the end, and artists, and carpenters, and diggers, and astrologers, and artizans, and dancers, and conductors of theatres, and pure and learned persons variously versed in knowledge, Do you, in obedience to the royal mandate, engage in the sacrificial work!
ततोऽब्रवीद् द्विजान् वृद्धान् यज्ञकर्मसु निष्ठितान्। स्थापत्ये निष्ठितांश्चैव वृद्धान् परमधार्मिकान्॥ कर्मान्तिकाशिल्पकारान् वर्धकीन् खनकानपि। गणकाशिल्पिनश्चैव तथैव नटनर्तकान्॥ तथा शुचीशास्त्रविदः पुरुषान् सुबहुश्रुतान्। यज्ञकर्म समीहन्तां भवन्तो राजशासनात्॥
