ततो भुक्तवतां तेषां तदन्नममृतोपमम्।
दिव्यानुद्वीक्ष्य भक्ष्यांस्तानभवद्भक्षणे मतिः॥
tato bhuktavatāṁ teṣāṁ tad annam amṛtopamam
divyān udvīkṣya bhakṣyāṁs tān abhavad bhakṣaṇe matiḥ
tataḥ bhuktavatām teṣām = [though] they had [already] eaten; tat = those; annam = foodstuffs; amṛta-upamam = nectarean; divyān = celestial; udvīkṣya = by glancing; bhakṣyān = foodstuffs; tān = at those; abhavat = they developed; bhakṣaṇe = to eat them; matiḥ = the desire.
By glancing at those celestial foodstuffs, they developed the desire to eat them [though] they had [already] eaten those nectarean foodstuffs.
These foodstuffs of four kinds have already been described. Then soldiers wanted to again eat them because of their excellence.
