Anumodanā verses are spoken by the recipients of an offering rather than the givers, and each set fits a particular occasion. This one belongs to the moment when a donor establishes a dwelling or takes up residence in a place and dedicates the merit of feeding the virtuous to the devas already living there. The footnote attributes it to two places in the canon, in the Vinaya and in the Dīgha Nikāya.

The book prints this chant in Pali alone, with no Thai rendering beneath. That is not unusual for anumodanā verses, which are the reciter's professional stock rather than a text for lay reflection. Here it means the chant is given with its Pali and an English translation only.

The verses set out a sequence of exchange rather than a simple act of giving. A wise person settling in a place feeds the virtuous and restrained there, and dedicates that offering to whatever devas inhabit it. The offering is not made to the devas directly; it is made to the sangha and assigned to them, which is the standard mechanism of dedicated merit.

What follows is reciprocity. Those honoured honour in return, ปูชิตา ปูชะยันติ; those held in regard hold in regard. The construction is deliberately symmetrical, the same verb turned back upon the giver. Then the register softens into simile: they show compassion to him as a mother to her own-born son, ปุตตังวะ โอระสัง, the word โอระส marking a child of one's own body rather than any child.

The closing line states the result plainly. The person to whom the devas are well disposed sees สะทา ภัท์รานิ — auspicious things, always. This is the ordinary shape of an anumodanā: an act of generosity described, and then the good that follows from it named, so the donor hears their gift placed within a wider order.
