Thereafter, Rcīka Muni's wife and mother-in-law, each desiring a son, requested the Muni to prepare an oblation. Thus Rcīka Muni prepared one oblation for his wife with a brāhmaṇa mantra and another for his mother-in-law with a kṣatriya mantra. Then he went out to bathe.
TEXT 9
तावत् सत्यवती मात्रा स्वचरं याचिता सती । श्रेष्ठं मत्वा तयायच्छन्मात्रे मातुरदत् स्वयम् ॥ ९ ॥
tāvat satyavatī mātrā   sva-caruṁ yācitā satī   śreṣṭhaṁ matvā tayāyacchan   mātre mātur adat svayam
tāvat —in the meantime;  satyavatī —Satyavatī, the wife of Rcīka;  mātrā —by her mother;  sva-carum —the oblation meant for herself (Satyavatī);  yācitā —asked to give;  satī —being;  śreṣṭhaṁ —better;  matvā —thinking;  tayā —by her;  ayacchat —delivered;  mātre —to her mother;  mātuḥ —of the mother;  adat —ate;  svayam —personally.
TRANSLATION
Meanwhile, because Satyavatī's mother thought that the oblation prepared for her daughter, Rcīka's wife, must be better, she asked her daughter for that oblation. Satyavatī therefore gave her own oblation to her mother and ate her mother's oblation herself.
