Shloka 37
Marutta’s Sacrifice and Agni’s Embassy (मरुत्त-यज्ञे दूतत्वम्)
क्षात्राद् बलाद् ब्रह्मबलं गरीयो न ब्रह्मतः किंचिदन्यद् गरीय: । सोऊहं जानन् ब्रह्मतेजो यथाव- न्न संवर्त जेतुमिच्छामि शक्र
kṣātrād balād brahmabalaṃ garīyo na brahmataḥ kiṃcid anyad garīyaḥ | so ’haṃ jānann brahmatejo yathāvan na saṃvartaṃ jetum icchāmi śakra ||
释迦罗（因陀罗）宣称：婆罗门之力——根植于苦行与神圣知识的灵威——重于单纯的武力；世间无有超越婆罗门之力者。因他深知梵光之威（brahma-tejas）的真实力量，便说自己甚至不愿尝试去战胜三婆尔多（Saṃvarta）。

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that spiritual authority (brahma-bala/brahma-tejas), rooted in tapas and sacred knowledge, is superior to mere martial force; true wisdom includes recognizing limits and showing reverence toward higher dharmic power.
Indra (Śakra) speaks about the relative hierarchy of powers and, acknowledging the formidable brahma-tejas of the sage Saṃvarta, states that he does not even wish to try to defeat him.
