As soon as Marutta became king he began to perform a Yāga. Money was required for it. He was puzzled as to how to raise funds. Besides, Indra was trying to obstruct the Yāga. At last he consulted Nārada who told him that Bṛhaspati's brother Saṃvartaka was performing tapas in the forest and if Marutta approached him, he would give him money for this purpose. So Marutta went to Saṃvartaka. He advised Marutta to worship Śiva. Accordingly Marutta went to Kailāsa and got plenty of gold by worshipping Śiva and returned with it and began his Yāga. In spite of their efforts, Indra and other gods were not able to spoil Marutta's Yāga. After the Yāga Marutta stored up the surplus wealth in the neighbourhood of Himālayas where his capital was situated. - [Previous: c8.669](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.669) - [Next: c8.671](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.671) - [Up: c8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.670](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.670) · Pramāṇa
