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:
evaṁguṇaḥ sambabhūveha rājā yasya kratau tat suvarṇa-prabhūtam | tat tvaṁ samādāya narendra vittaṁ yajasva devāṁs tarpayāno nivāpaiḥ, narendra |
Telle fut la grandeur du roi Marutta en ce monde : lors de son sacrifice, on amassa de l’or en profusion. Aussi, ô roi, fais venir cette richesse et accomplis le sacrifice—rassasiant les dieux par les oblations et les offrandes qui leur reviennent.

Educational Q&A
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.
