Vibhishana, surrounded by demons wearing garlands, offered his services, like a servant, to the sages who have performed rigorous penance.

एवं सुविहितो यज्ञो हयमेधोभ्यवर्तत |
लक्ष्मणेनाभिगुप्त च हयचर्या प्रवर्तिता || ९ ||

evam suvihito yajno hayamedho’bhyavartata.

Thus, the Ashvamedha sacrifice was well-performed. Then the ambulation of the sacrificial horse commenced and was well-protected by Lakshmana.

नान्यः शब्दोऽभवत्तत्र हयमेधे महात्मनः |
छन्दतो देहि विस्रब्धो यावत्तुष्यन्ति याचकाः
तावद्वानररक्षोभिर्दत्तमेवाभ्यदृश्यत || १० ||

naanyah shabdo’bhavattatra hayamedhe mahaatmanah.
chhandato dehi visrabdho yaavattushyanti yaachakaah.
taavadvaanararakshobhirdattamevaabhyadrishyata.

In that horse-sacrifice of noble Rama, no other sound was heard except “You go on distributing/donating, without any worry”. The monkeys and demons were seen distributing food, etc. among those needy people till they were satisfied.
