Marutta’s Sacrifice: Indra’s Threat, Saṃvarta’s Mantric Restraint, and Divine Reconciliation (अध्याय १०)
अग्निदेव तुम्हारी सब ओरसे रक्षा करें। देवराज इन्द्र तुम्हारे लिये जलकी नहीं
Agnidevaḥ tumhārī saba orase rakṣā kareṃ. Devarāja Indra tumhāre liye jalakī nahīṃ, sampūrṇa kāmanāoṃ kī varṣā kareṃ, aura tumhāre vadhake liye uṭhe hue aura jalarāśike sātha cañcala gati se cale hue mahāghora vajrako ve Devendra apane hāthameṃ hī rakhe raheṃ.
萨姆瓦尔塔说道：“愿火神阿耆尼从四方护佑你。愿天帝因陀罗为你降下的，不只是雨水，而是你一切愿望的丰盈之雨。并愿天帝那可怖的金刚雷霆——为诛灭欲杀你之人而高举，疾驰如洪涛奔涌——仍被他收束，握在自己手中。”

Educational Q&A
The verse frames ethical power as protection and restraint: divine strength (Indra’s vajra) is invoked not to punish indiscriminately but to be withheld, while prosperity is sought as the fulfillment of rightful aims rather than mere material rain.
Saṃvarta pronounces a benediction: Agni is asked to guard the addressed person on all sides, Indra is asked to grant complete boons, and Indra’s fearsome thunderbolt—poised to kill— is prayed to remain in Indra’s hand, i.e., not to be released against the recipient.
