Samvarta


Samvarta
"O lord of earth! Why do you show respect to this fellow? No more! Enough! Dismiss him ! If they spoil the sacrifice, I'll burn up heaven; Agni who burns up all things, this instant I'll burn up. Let him bring Indra! Agni discard!"

With thunder-bearing hand in fury raised, Indra ap- proached. Seeing him, the monarch trembled. Samvarta com- forted him, and fixed, immoveable as painted figures, Indra and all his multitude of deities. Their spirit gone, the host of gods lost all their power.

On which the virtuous Marutta thus humbly prayed the saint :  " O lord of Munis ! shall the whole race of gods who take the sacrificial offerings, thus remain ? Let them appear in person, and in my sacrifice, well pleased, humbly receive their portions of the burnt-offerings. Grant my prayer ! End my dispute with Indra." When the sovereign, with joined hands, thus entreated Samvarta, he granted the king's desire.

Hear, O lord of earth^^ ! When Indra saw the power of the great Muni Samvarta^ he laid aside his enmity, and aflEec- tionately came in person with all his deities to partake of the sacrificial offerings. Marutta's joy was full ; and the great sa- crifice, renowned by all the grandeur of wealth, begun.
