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 ||

Vyāsa nói: Khi vua Marutta nghe rằng Bṛhaspati, con của Aṅgiras, đã lập một lời thệ liên quan đến Chúa tể chư thiên và sẽ không còn chủ trì tế lễ cho loài người nữa, nhà vua liền quyết tâm cử hành một đại tế tối thượng.

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.
