*tam*—unto King Aṅga; *ūcuḥ*—said; *vismitāḥ*—in wonder; *tatra*—there; *yajamānam*—to the institutor of the sacrifice; *atha*—then; *ṛtvijaḥ*—the priests; *havīṁṣi*—offerings of clarified butter; *hūyamānāni*—being offered; *na*—not; *te*—they; *gṛhṇanti*—accept; *devatāḥ*—the demigods.

**The priests engaged in the sacrifice then informed King Aṅga: O King, we are properly offering the clarified butter in the sacrifice, but despite all our efforts the demigods do not accept it.**
