Marutta–Indra Rivalry and Bṛhaspati’s Priestly Refusal (मरुत्तेन्द्रस्पर्धा—बृहस्पतेः पौरोहित्यनिश्चयः)
तस्य वासवतुल्यो< भून्मरुत्तो नाम वीर्यवान् | पुत्रस्तमनुरक्ता भूत् पृथिवी सागराम्बरा
tasya vāsavatulyo 'bhūn marutto nāma vīryavān | putras tam anuraktā bhūt pṛthivī sāgarāmbarā ||
ヴィヤーサは語った。「その子はマルッタと名づけられ、武威においてヴァーサヴァ（インドラ）に等しい剛勇の士であった。大海を衣のごとくまとい、四方を海に囲まれた全地は、ことごとく彼に心を寄せた。」すなわち、力と正しい統治とが、天下の民の自発の敬愛を得たのである。

A king’s true greatness is not only martial power (vīrya) but the ability to win the willing affection of the whole realm through dharmic rule; universal loyalty is presented as a sign of legitimate and beneficent kingship.
Vyāsa identifies a successor: Marutta, the son of the previously mentioned figure, is introduced as Indra-like in prowess, and it is stated that the entire ocean-bounded earth became devoted to him—signaling his fame, authority, and popular support across the whole world.
