प्रशस्तमन्नं गुणवद् दधिक्षीरोपसेचनम्। द्विजानां शतसाहस्रं यत्प्रकाममलं भवेत्॥ सत्कृत्य द्विजमुख्यानां श्वः प्रभाते प्रदीयताम्। घृतं दधि च लाजाश्च दक्षिणाश्चापि पुष्कलाः॥

English Meaning
Do you on the morning of the morrow bestow upon the principal Brāhmaṇas goodly ard refined rice mixed with curds and milk, so that hundreds of thousands may be fed, and gratified, bestowing on them at the same time clarified butter and curds, and fried paddy, and more than sufficient Dakşiņās.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
