मधुसर्पिसंयुक्तं तं पिबे च पुरुषोत्तमः ।
तेहि संतर्पितो वीरो प्रतिसंलान-उत्थितो ।
तर्पये धर्मवृष्टीये देवगन्धर्वमानुषां ॥ ३ ॥

madhusarpisaṃyuktaṃ taṃ pibe ca puruṣottamaḥ |
tehi saṃtarpito vīro pratisaṃlāna-utthito |
tarpaye dharmavṛṣṭīye devagandharvamānuṣāṃ || 3 ||

The Supreme of men drank this drink of honey and ghee. By them was the Hero regaled as he came out of his seclusion, as he himself regaled devas, Gandharvas and men with the rain of dharma. (3)
