Medhātithi’s commentary (manubhāṣya):
‘Satisfaction,’—non-suffering from hunger and thirst. This is possible only for the wealthy and the healthy. So that great wealth and good health are the results declared as following from the giving of water.

‘Imperishable happiness.’—In the absence of any specification, the ‘happiness’ meant here is understood to stand for the means of happiness,‘Imperishable’—lasting throughout life.

‘Giver of food’—cooked,—saktu, rice, etc,—as well as raw, rice, etc.

The ‘Lamp’ is given—either at crossings or in a place where Brāhmaṇas assemble—(229).
