TRANSLATION
In that sacrifice, King Indra became intoxicated by drinking a large quantity of soma-rasa. The brahmanas received ample contributions, and therefore they were satisfied. For that sacrifice, the various demigods who control the winds offered foodstuffs, and the Visvedevas were members of the assembly.
PURPORT
Because of the yajna performed by Marutta, everyone was pleased, especially the brahmanas and kshatriyas. Brahmanas are interested in receiving contributions as priests, and kshatriyas are interested in drinking. All of them, therefore, were satisfied with their different engagements.
