Marutt, Raajaa
From   Bhaagvat Puraan, 10/u1

Raajaa Marutt was born in Vaivaswat Manu, Shraaddh Dev's lineage (in present Manvantar). He was a Chakravartee Raajaa and was very rich. He had 700 queens His chief queen's name was Sulabhaa (Bhavishya Puraan, p 616)

Once he did a Yagya under the guidance of Maharshi Angiraa's son Mahaayogee Samvratt (or Samvart) Rishi (Bhaagvat Puraan, 9/1). All Devtaa were present there physically to take their share. Indra lost his senses after drinking Som Ras in that Yagya. Marutt had used all gold pots in that Yagya. After completing the Yagya he gave all those pots also to Braahman besides their Dakshinaa. The Dakshinaa and the those pots were so much and so many that they could not take them all and left many of them there only. Later when Yudhishthir did his Ashwamedh Yagya after the MBH war, he collected them from there and used them in his Yagya..

In his lineage was born King Trinbindu who had a daughter named Idvidaa from Alambooshaa Apsaraa. She was married to Pulastya Rishi's son Vishravaa and had a son named Kuber who later became a Lokpaal and the Lord of wealth of Devtaa.
