TRANSLATION
Meanwhile, because Satyavatis mother thought that the oblation prepared for her daughter, Rcikas wife, must be better, she asked her daughter for that oblation. Satyavati therefore gave her own oblation to her mother and ate her mothers oblation herself.
PURPORT
A husband naturally has some affection for his wife. Therefore Satyavatis mother thought that the oblation prepared for Satyavati by the sage Rcika must have been better than her own oblation. In Rcikas absence, the mother took the better oblation from Satyavati and ate it.
