Marutta Seeks a Priest: Bṛhaspati’s Refusal and Nārada’s Guidance to Saṃvarta
Chapter 6
देवराजस्य समयं कृतमाज्िरसेन ह | श्रुत्वा मरुत्तो नृपतिर्यज्ञमाहारयत् परम्,राजा मरुत्तने जब यह सुना कि अंगिराके पुत्र बृहस्पतिजीने मनुष्यके यज्ञ न करानेकी प्रतिज्ञा कर ली है, तब उन्होंने एक महान् यज्ञका आयोजन किया
devarājasya samayaṁ kṛtam āṅgirasena ha | śrutvā marutto nṛpatir yajñam āhārayat param ||
Sinabi ni Vyāsa: Nang marinig ni Haring Marutta na si Bṛhaspati, anak ni Aṅgiras, ay gumawa ng isang panatang may kinalaman sa Hari ng mga diyos at hindi na magsasagawa ng yajña para sa mga tao, nagpasiya ang hari na magdaos ng isang dakilang handog na pinakamataas.

Educational Q&A
A ruler committed to dharma maintains sacred obligations with firmness; even when obstacles arise due to others' vows or refusals, one should respond with principled resolve rather than abandoning righteous duty.
Vyāsa narrates that King Marutta learns of a pledge made by Bṛhaspati (descendant of Aṅgiras) connected with Indra, and in response Marutta initiates/arranges a very great sacrifice.
