Marutta’s Sacrifice: Indra’s Threat, Saṃvarta’s Mantric Restraint, and Divine Reconciliation (अध्याय १०)
नरेश्वर! मैं अभी उन्हें स्तम्भित करता हूँ; अतः तुम इन्द्रसे न डरो। मैंने सम्पूर्ण देवताओंके अस्त्र-शस्त्र भी क्षीण कर दिये हैं। चाहे दसों दिशाओंमें वज्ञ गिरे
saṃvarta uvāca | nareśvara! ahaṃ tān adya stambhayāmi; ato tvaṃ indrasya mā bhaiḥ | mayā samagradevatānām astrāṇi śastrāṇi ca kṣīṇīkṛtāni | daśasu dikṣu vajrāṇi patantu, vāyur vā pravātu, indraḥ svayam eva varṣarūpaḥ san sarvavaneṣu nirantaraṃ varṣatu, ākāśe vyartham eva jalaplāvanaṃ bhavatu, vidyut ca sphuratu—tathāpi tvaṃ mā bhaiḥ || vahni-devaḥ trātu vā sarvatas te, kāmān vā sarvān varṣatu vāsavo vā | vajraṃ tathā sthāpayatāṃ vadhāya, mahāghoraṃ plavamānaṃ jalaughaś ca ||
サンヴァルタは言った。「王よ、ただちに彼らを封じて動けなくしてみせよう。ゆえにインドラを恐れるな。すでに諸天の武器・神威の飛び道具はことごとく力を失わせた。たとえ十方に雷霆が落ち、烈風が荒れ狂い、インドラ自ら雨となって森々に絶え間なく降り注ぎ、天が水に満ちて稲妻がむなしく閃こうとも—恐れるな。火神が四方より汝を守ろうと、あるいはヴァーサヴァ（インドラ）が万の願いを雨のごとく降らせようと、または殺戮のため金剛杵を掲げ、恐るべき洪水がうねり来ようと—揺るがず立て、恐れを離れて。」

Educational Q&A
The passage teaches steadfast fearlessness grounded in spiritual power and clarity of purpose: even overwhelming displays of divine force—thunderbolt, storm, lightning, flood—should not shake one’s resolve when one is protected by higher insight and disciplined strength.
Saṃvarta addresses a king, promising to immobilize the opposing divine forces and assuring him not to fear Indra. He declares that he has already neutralized the gods’ weapons, and he lists extreme cosmic threats (thunderbolts in all directions, storms, incessant rain, flooding, lightning) to emphasize that none of these should cause fear.
