Marutta’s Sacrifice: Indra’s Threat, Saṃvarta’s Mantric Restraint, and Divine Reconciliation (अध्याय १०)
एवंगुण: सम्बभूवेह राजा यस्य क्रतौ तत् सुवर्ण प्रभूतम् । तत् त्वं समादाय नरेन्द्र वित्तं यजस्व देवांस्तर्पयानो निवापै:,नरेन्द्र! राजा मरुत्त ऐसे प्रभावशाली हुए थे। उनके यज्ञमें बहुत-सा सुवर्ण एकत्र किया गया था। तुम उसी धनको मँगवाकर यज्ञभागसे देवताओंको तृप्त करते हुए यजन करो
evaṁguṇaḥ sambabhūveha rājā yasya kratau tat suvarṇa-prabhūtam | tat tvaṁ samādāya narendra vittaṁ yajasva devāṁs tarpayāno nivāpaiḥ, narendra |
Such was the greatness of King Marutta in this world: in his sacrifice abundant gold was amassed. Therefore, O king, procure that wealth and perform sacrifice—satisfying the gods with their allotted oblations and offerings.

Royal wealth is to be used in dharmic ways—especially to uphold yajña and rightful giving—so that prosperity serves the gods, society, and order rather than mere personal accumulation.
The speaker points to King Marutta as an exemplar whose sacrifice generated abundant gold, and urges the addressed king to obtain that wealth and conduct sacrifices, satisfying the gods through proper oblations.
