तस्य his, द्वेष्टा enemy, न विद्यते never existed, सः he, कञ्चन any one indeed, न द्वेष्टि not hated, सः he, सर्वेषु at all, भूतेषु beings, अपरः another, पितामहः इव like the father, आप्तदक्षिणैः with generous gifts, अग्निष्टोमादिभिः with fire sacrifices and others, यज्ञैः with yajnas, इष्टवान् performed.
English Commentary
'He never hated any one nor did any one ever hate him. To all his subjects, he was like another father, the Creator Brahma. And he was generous in giving gifts while performing yajnas (rituals with fire) like Agnistoma.
