Marutta’s Sacrifice: Indra’s Threat, Saṃvarta’s Mantric Restraint, and Divine Reconciliation (अध्याय १०)
ततो वित्त विविध संनिधाय यथोत्साहं कारयित्वा च कोषम् | अनुज्ञातो गुरुणा संनिवृत्य शशास गामखिलां सागरान्ताम्
tato vittaṃ vividhaṃ sannidhāya yathotsāhaṃ kārayitvā ca koṣam | anujñāto guruṇā saṃnivṛtya śaśāsa gām akhilāṃ sāgarāntām ||
于是,马鲁塔将所余各类财宝尽皆汇聚;依其能力与热忱,命人建造国库,并将财物悉数入藏。得师尊三婆尔多(Saṃvarta)许可后,他返回王都,自此统御四海之内、以大海为界的全地——以奉师之命为本,以有序理财为要,行正法之王道。
व्याय उवाच
The verse highlights dharmic governance: wealth should be responsibly organized (placed in a treasury for orderly administration), and political authority is exercised rightly when aligned with discipline and the guru’s sanction—symbolizing legitimacy, restraint, and ethical stewardship.
After a great distribution of wealth, what remains is collected and stored by having a treasury built. Marutta then takes leave of his teacher Saṃvarta, returns to his capital, and rules the whole ocean-bounded earth.
