Shloka 18
Marutta’s Sacrifice and Agni’s Embassy (मरुत्त-यज्ञे दूतत्वम्)
तथा लोका मानुषा ये च दिव्या: प्रजापतेश्वापि ये वै महान्त: । ते ते जिता देवराज्यं च कृत्स्नं बृहस्पतिर्याजयेच्चेन्नरेन्द्र
tathā lokā mānuṣā ye ca divyāḥ prajāpateś cāpi ye vai mahāntaḥ | te te jitā devarājyaṃ ca kṛtsnaṃ bṛhaspatir yājayec cen narendra ||
马鲁塔说道：“同样，一切世界——人间与天界——乃至属于生主（Prajāpati）的伟大境域：都将为你所胜得；并且，若由布里哈斯帕提（Bṛhaspati）亲自担任你的祭司，天神的全部主权也将归于你，王啊。凭借那次灌顶加持，你的名望将高涨，你通达上界诸天的道路也将确立无疑。”

Educational Q&A
The verse links royal success and access to higher realms with properly conducted sacrifice under an authoritative priest (Bṛhaspati), emphasizing that spiritual legitimacy and right ritual agency are portrayed as sources of fame and ‘victory’ beyond mere force.
Marutta speaks about the extraordinary results a king can attain if Bṛhaspati agrees to officiate the king’s sacrifice: human and divine realms, even Prajāpati’s great worlds, and the full ‘kingdom of the gods’ are described as becoming attainable.
