members of the assembly.
In that sacrifice, King Indra became intoxicated by drinking a large quantity of soma-rasa. The brāhmaṇas received ample contributions, and therefore they were satisfied. For that sacrifice, the various demigods who control the winds offered foodstuffs, and the Viśvedevas were members of the assembly.
Purport
Because of the yajña performed by Marutta, everyone was pleased, especially the brāhmaṇas and kṣatriyas. Brāhmaṇas are interested in receiving contributions as priests, and kṣatriyas are interested in drinking. All of them, therefore, were satisfied with their different engagements.

Translation
In that sacrifice, King Indra was satisfied by drinking soma-rasa. The brāhmaṇas were satisfied by ample contributions. For that sacrifice, the various wind devatās offered foodstuffs and the Viśvedevas were members of the assembly.
The brāhmaṇas were satisfied with the contributions.
Personal Guidance
Indra drinks the soma, brāhmaṇas receive generously, demigods bring food. A properly conducted yajña satisfies every level simultaneously — heaven and earth at once.
Reflection Questions
- Where in my contribution today is everyone — coworkers, family, the Lord — being served, not just my own niche?
- What would it look like to host an act of worship where no participant leaves unfed?
