2. When prāṇa is pleased, the eye is pleased; when the eye is pleased, the sun is pleased; when the sun is pleased, heaven is pleased; when heaven is pleased, whatever there is ruled by heaven and the sun is pleased. Then when that is pleased, the eater derives pleasure from his children, from his animals, from an abundance of food, from physical strength, and from his good life and scholarship.

Word-for-word explanation:

Prāṇe tṛpyati, when prāṇa is pleased; cakṣuḥ tṛpyati, the eye is pleased; cakṣuṣi tṛpyati, when the eye is pleased; ādityaḥ tṛpyati, the sun is pleased; āditye tṛpyati, when the sun is pleased; dyauḥ tṛpyati, heaven is pleased; divi tṛpyantyām, when heaven is pleased; yat kiñca, whatever; dyauḥ ca ādityaḥ ca adhitiṣṭhataḥ, is there ruled by heaven and the sun; tat tṛpyati, that is pleased; tasya anu tṛptim, with its being pleased; tṛpyati, he [the eater] is pleased; prajayā, by children; paśubhiḥ, by animals; annādyena, by food; tejasā, by vigour; brahmavarcasena iti, by the radiance of Brahman derived from good character and scholarship. Iti ekonaviṃśaḥ khaṇḍaḥ, here ends the nineteenth section.
