He said that He did that, because statesmanship dictates that a wise man should always endeavour to put an end to his enemies. They would, from that day forward, be known as the “Marut” and would rank among the Devas and would be entitled to a share in the sacrificial offerings, like other Devas.—62-63. > — A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, The Matsya Puranam - [Previous: 7.62](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.7.62) - [Next: 7.64](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.7.64) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.7) ## Translations (2) - [The Matsya Puranam](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya~en-taluqdar.7.p38) — A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya~en-mt.7.63) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [Padmapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.padma.1.7.65) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.7.63](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.7.63) · Pramāṇa
