Having, in due order of sequence, taken very small portions out of the halls, he shall first feed those same seated Brāhmaṇas with them, in accordance with role.—(219).

Medhātithi’s commentary (manubhāṣya):
Extremely small portions—parts of the ball offered to the Father should be made to be eaten by the Brāhmaṇa who has been previously seated in honour of the Father.

‘In due order of sequence’;—the meaning of this has been already explained.

The pronoun ‘those’ refers to those mentiond in the present context; and, it is in view of this that, in 212, our author has not thought it necessary to specify the Brāhmaṇa as the one thus mentioned.

‘Frst’—i.e., before every other kind of food.—(219).
