1-14-36, Sanskrit verse
Bala Kanda
Chapter 14
Patatrin`aha tasya vapaam
uddhruitya niyateendriyaha
ruitvik parama sampannaha
s`rapayaamaasa s`aastrataha.
CONTEXT
Dasaratha was performing a horse sacrifice to cleanse his sins, before starting Putra Kaamesht`hi to beget children. As a part of the Asvameetha Sacrifice, the sacrificial horse was stabbed with a golden knife three times by the queen. The fat of the dead horse was cooked by the priests.
ENGLISH:
The very rich (parama sampannaha) priests, with controlled senses, cooked the fat of the fallen horse.
BLOGGER'S VIEWS
*The priests may be "very rich" in the knowledge of scriptures or literally rich.
*Why control senses while cooking a horse's fat?
