Saunaka Kâpeya, pondering on that speech, went to the student and said: 'He is the self of the Devas, the creator of all beings, with golden tusks, the eater, not without intelligence. His greatness is said to be great indeed, because, without being eaten, he eats even what is not food. Thus do we, O Brahmakârin, meditate on that Being.' Then he said: 'Give him food.'

In plain words: Saunaka thinks about the riddle and answers the student. He says this Being is the life-force of the gods, the maker of all creatures, the great eater, who eats everything but is never eaten. He says, 'This is the One we meditate on,' and then tells the servants to give the student food.
