Thereafter, Aṁśumān circumambulated Kapila Muni and offered Him respectful obeisances, bowing his head. After fully satisfying Him in this way, Aṁśumān brought back the horse meant for sacrifice, and with this horse Mahārāja Sagara performed the remaining ritualistic ceremonies.

Translation
Aṁśumān circumambulated Kapila and pleased him by bowing his head. Aṁśumān brought back the horse, and with this horse Mahārāja Sagara performed the rest of the sacrifice.
Personal Guidance
Aṁśumān circumambulates, satisfies the Lord, and returns with the horse. Heroism for a devotee is not in slaying a sage but in worshiping Him and quietly carrying the work forward.
Reflection Questions
- How is my own service silently carrying forward something my elders began?
- Where could a quiet act of worship today move a stuck situation more than further effort?
