Having, O Marutta, acted as priest to the celestials, how can I act as such to mortal men, and whether you do leave this place or stay here, I tell you I have ceased to act as priest to any but the celestials.
बृहस्पति उवाच अमर्त्य याजयित्वाहं याजयिष्ये कथं नरम्। मरुत्त गच्छवा मा वा निवृत्तोऽस्म्यद्य याजनात्॥
