saḥ - he (Viśvarūpa); vai - indeed; barhiṣi - in the sacrificial fire; devebhyaḥ - unto the particular demigods; bhāgam - the proper share; pratyakṣam - visibly; uccakaiḥ - by loud chanting of the mantras; adadat - offered; yasya - of whom; pitaraḥ - the fathers; devāḥ - demigods; sa-praśrayam - very humbly in a gentle voice; nṛpa - O King Parīkṣit.

O Mahārāja Parīkṣit, the demigods were related to Viśvarūpa from his father’s side, and therefore he visibly offered clarified butter in the fire while chanting mantras such as indrāya idaṁ svāhā [“this is meant for King Indra”] and idam agnaye [“this is for the demigod of fire”]. He loudly chanted these mantras and offered each of the demigods his proper share.
