Marutta’s Sacrifice: Indra’s Threat, Saṃvarta’s Mantric Restraint, and Divine Reconciliation (अध्याय १०)
ततः पीत्वा बलभित् सोममग्रयं ये चाप्यन्ये सोमपा देवसंघा: । सर्वेडनुज्ञाता: प्रययु: पार्थिवेन यथाजोष॑ तर्पिता: प्रीतिमन््त:
tataḥ pītvā balabhit somam agryaṃ ye cāpy anye somapā devasaṅghāḥ | sarve 'nujñātāḥ prayayuḥ pārthivena yathājoṣaṃ tarpitāḥ prītimantaḥ ||
ನಂತರ ಬಲಭಿತ್ (ಇಂದ್ರ) ಶ್ರೇಷ್ಠ ಸೋಮವನ್ನು ಪಾನಮಾಡಿದನು; ಸೋಮಪಾನಕ್ಕೆ ಅರ್ಹರಾದ ಇತರ ದೇವಸಂಘಗಳೂ ಆ ಉತ್ತಮ ಸೋಮರಸವನ್ನು ಕುಡಿದರು. ಎಲ್ಲರೂ ತೃಪ್ತರೂ ಪ್ರೀತಿಯುಳ್ಳವರೂ ಆದರು; ಬಳಿಕ ರಾಜನ ಅನುಮತಿ ಪಡೆದು ತಮತಮ ಧಾಮಗಳಿಗೆ ಹೊರಟರು.
व्याय उवाच
A righteous ruler upholds dharma through proper sacrificial hospitality: offering the due share to the worthy (here, Soma to the gods), ensuring guests are satisfied, and granting leave respectfully—so that ritual order and social-ethical order align.
After the sacrifice, Indra and the other Soma-entitled gods drink the finest Soma, become satisfied and pleased, and then—having received the king’s permission—depart to their respective abodes.
