With all respect, Dakṣa worshiped Lord Śiva with his share of the remnants of the yajña. After finishing the ritualistic sacrificial activities, he satisfied all the other demigods and the other people assembled there. Then, after finishing all these duties with the priests, he took a bath and was fully satisfied.
Purport
Lord Rudra, Śiva, was properly worshiped with his share of the remnants of the yajña. Yajña is Viṣṇu, and whatever prasāda is offered to Viṣṇu is offered to everyone, even to Lord Śiva. Śrīdhara Svāmī also comments in this connection, svena bhāgena: the remnants of the yajña are offered to all the demigods and others.

Translation
With concentrated mind, he worshipped Śiva with his share. Worshipping other devatās by concluding rites, he then bathed along with the priests.
Udavasānam means “that which completes.” After finishing with these concluding rites, he took bath.

Personal Guidance
Dakṣa worships Śiva with his portion of the yajña remnants and satisfies all the others before bathing, content. Distribution of the share precedes personal rest; you can't truly relax until the others have received theirs.
Reflection Questions
- Which 'share' am I holding back that I should be distributing before I rest?
- Whose presence at the table am I still excluding, and what would including them cost?
