Verse 92.7

न निःसृतं भवत्योष्ठाद्वचनं यावदर्थिनाम्॥ तावद्वानररक्षोभिर्दत्तमेवाभ्यदृश्यत। न कश्चिन्मलिनो वापि दीनो वाप्यथवा कृशः॥ तस्मिन्यज्ञवरे राज्ञो हृष्टपुष्टजनावृते। ये च तत्र महात्मानो मुनयश्चिरजीविनः॥ नास्मरंस्तादृशं यज्ञं दानौघसमलंकृतम्।

na niḥsṛtaṃ bhavatyoṣṭhādvacanaṃ yāvadarthinām|| tāvadvānararakṣobhirdattamevābhyadṛśyata| na kaścinmalino vāpi dīno vāpyathavā kṛśaḥ|| tasminyajñavare rājño hṛṣṭapuṣṭajanāvṛte| ye ca tatra mahātmāno munayaścirajīvinaḥ|| nāsmaraṃstādṛśaṃ yajñaṃ dānaughasamalaṃkṛtam|

English Meaning

Indeed before words came out from the lips of the beggars, monkeys and Rakşasas satisfied them with gifts. And all the ascetics living for ever and having asceticism for wealth that were present there, could not think of any other sacrifice, accompanied by so profuse presents, they had seen before.
