Parāśara’s Counsel on बुद्धि (Discernment), Karma-Consequences, and Avoidance of Pāpānubandha Actions
ततो बृहस्पतिर्धीमानुपागम्य शतक्रतुम् । वसिष्ठ श्ष महातेजा: सर्वे च परमर्षय:
tato bṛhaspatir dhīmān upāgamya śatakratum | vasiṣṭhaś ca mahātejāḥ sarve ca paramarṣayaḥ ||
ビーシュマは言った。ついで賢者ブリハスパティは、シャタクラトゥ（インドラ）のもとへ赴いた。赫々たるヴァシシュタと、最上の聖仙たちも皆これに随った。心を一点に凝らし、彼らはインドラに告げて、ヴリトラースラを討つべしと促した――それは諸世界を護り、宇宙の秩序を回復するために不可欠の行いであると。

Educational Q&A
That rulers (and those empowered to act) should accept disciplined counsel from the wise and undertake even difficult, forceful duties when they are required to protect the world and re-establish order—action guided by dharma rather than personal impulse.
Bṛhaspati, together with Vasiṣṭha and other great sages, goes to Indra and, with focused intent, urges him to kill Vṛtrāsura—setting up the moral and strategic justification for Indra’s decisive action.
