[229] Then, brahmin, the vassal khattiyas of both town and country established gifts to the east of the sacrificial enclosure. To the south of the sacrificial enclosure the ministers and councillors of both town and country established gifts. To the west of the sacrificial enclosure the well-to-do brahmins of both town and country established gifts. To the north of the sacrificial enclosure the wealthy householders of both town and country established gifts.
And in those sacrifices too, brahmin, no cows were slain, no goats and sheep were slain, no chickens and pigs were slain, nor did various kinds of living creatures come to slaughter; no trees were cut down for the sacrificial post; no dabba grass was reaped for strewing the place of sacrifice. Those who were their slaves, or servants, or workers — they too did their tasks not threatened by punishment, not threatened by fear, not weeping with tearful faces. Rather, those who wished to work did so; those who did not wish did not. They did what work they wished, and did not do what they did not wish. That sacrifice was brought to completion with just ghee, oil, fresh butter, curds, honey, and molasses.
Thus the four consenting factions, King Mahāvijita endowed with the eight factors, the brahmin high priest (purohita) endowed with the four factors, and the three modes — this, brahmin, is called the accomplishment of sacrifice (yaññasampadā) with three modes and sixteen accessories.
