मरुत्तोपाख्यान-प्रस्तावः — Genealogy to Marutta and the Logistics of Royal Sacrifice
कारयामास शुभ्राणि भाजनानि सहस्रश: । उनमें दस हजार हाथियोंके समान बल था। वे साक्षात् दूसरे विष्णुके समान जान पड़ते थे। धर्मात्मा मरुत्त जब यज्ञ करनेको उद्यत हुए
kārayāmāsa śubhrāṇi bhājanāni sahasraśaḥ |
毗耶娑说道：正法之王摩鲁多在筹备大祭之时，命人制作成千上万光辉洁净、无瑕无垢的器皿——这些华美的祭具既为慷慨施与之用，也为仪式圆满无失而备。此段彰显一种伦理理想：财富与权势的最高归宿，在于通过祭祀、待客与布施而归于法（dharma）。

Material resources gain moral value when used for dharma—supporting sacrifice, hospitality, and generosity. The making of pure, abundant ritual vessels symbolizes readiness to give and to perform sacred duty without blemish.
Vyāsa describes King Marutta’s preparations for a major sacrifice: he commissions thousands of spotless vessels to be used in the rite and in the distribution of gifts, emphasizing the scale and purity of the undertaking.
