Educational Q&A
Righteous leadership expresses itself through disciplined adherence to dharma: a king safeguards society not only by power but by performing duties—here, a sacrifice—properly (vidhivat) and in cooperation with other protectors of the people.
Vyasa narrates that once the preparations were complete, King Marutta, described as dharmātmā and pṛthivīpati, conducted the sacrifice at that place according to prescribed ritual rules, accompanied by other rulers (prajāpālas).
