Translation
Cyavana, by his own prowess, enabled King Śaryāti to perform the soma-yajña. The sage offered a full pot of soma-rasa to the Aśvinī-kumāras, although they were unfit to drink it.
He had Śaryāti (vīram) perform a soma-yajñā.

Personal Guidance
Cyavana arranges that the Aśvins receive soma in Śaryāti's yajña — a sage repays kindness with elevation. Real gratitude lifts the helper's status, not just thanks them.
Reflection Questions
- Who has helped me, and how could I structurally elevate them, not just say thanks?
- What 'soma' do I have access to that I am withholding from those who once carried me?
