yajña-vāstu-gataṁ sarvam
ucchiṣṭam ṛṣayaḥ kvacit
cakrur hi bhāgaṁ rudrāya
sa devaḥ sarvam arhati
yajña-vāstu-gatam — things belonging to the sacrificial arena; sarvam — everything; ucchiṣṭam — remnants; ṛṣayaḥ — the great sages; kvacit — sometimes, in the Dakṣa-yajña; cakruḥ — did so; hi — indeed; bhāgam — share; rudrāya — unto Lord Śiva; saḥ — that; devaḥ — demigod; sarvam — everything; arhati — deserves.
The father of Nābhāga said: Whatever the great sages sacrificed in the arena of the Dakṣa-yajña, they offered to Lord Śiva as his share. Therefore, everything in the sacrificial arena certainly belongs to Lord Śiva.
