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 ||
ତାପରେ ବଲଭିତ୍ (ଇନ୍ଦ୍ର) ଶ୍ରେଷ୍ଠ ସୋମ ପାନ କଲେ, ଏବଂ ସୋମପାନର ଅଧିକାରୀ ଅନ୍ୟ ଦେବସଂଘମାନେ ମଧ୍ୟ ସେହି ଉତ୍କୃଷ୍ଟ ସୋମରସ ପାନ କଲେ। ସମସ୍ତେ ତୃପ୍ତ ଓ ପ୍ରସନ୍ନ ହେଲେ; ପରେ ରାଜାଙ୍କ ଅନୁମତି ନେଇ ସେମାନେ ନିଜ-ନିଜ ଧାମକୁ ପ୍ରସ୍ଥାନ କଲେ।
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.
