15. Thus addressed, he replied, "O Janamejaya, this son of mine was born to a serpent woman. He is a great ascetic, accomplished in Vedic study, sustained by the power of my asceticism, and grew in the womb of her who drank my semen. He is capable of pacifying all your sinful deeds, except for a deed against Mahadeva (Shiva). However, he has one secret vow: if any Brahmin requests something from him, he must give that to him. If you are able to undertake this condition, then take him with you."

I was lying here in this field embankment, attempting to obstruct the irresistible outflow of water. However, as soon as I heard your venerable voice (Bhagavat's śabda), I abruptly vacated the embankment and have now presented myself before you. Therefore, I bow to your reverence (Bhagavat). Please command, what may I do?"

40. Addressed thus by the teacher, he replied, "Having first informed you, sir, I go for alms both for the first time and for a second time. With that, I sustain my livelihood."
तमुपाध्यायः प्रत्युवाच ।
नैषा न्याय्या गुरुवृत्तिः ।

41. To him the teacher replied, "This is not a proper way of supporting your teacher. Acting in this manner, you obstruct the livelihood of others as well. You are greedy!"

42. Saying, "So be it," he guarded the cows. And having guarded them, he returned to the teacher's house, stood before the teacher, and offered his salutations.
तमुपाध्यायस्तथापि पीवानमेव दृष्ट्वा पुनरुवाच ।

43. The teacher, still seeing him stout, again spoke to him: "I take all your alms, and you do not beg for anything else. You are stout! By what means do you maintain your livelihood?"
स उपाध्यायं प्रत्युवाच ।
भो एतासां गवां पयसा वृत्तिं कल्पयामीति ॥४४॥
44. sa upādhyāyaṁ pratyuvāca ,

44. saḥ upādhyāyam pratyuvāca | bhoḥ etāsām

44. He replied to the teacher, "Sir, I sustain myself with the milk of these cows."

45. The teacher replied to him, "It is not right for you to drink milk without my permission."

46. saḥ tathā iti pratijñāya gāḥ rakṣitvā punar upādhyāya

46. He assented, saying, "So be it," and after tending the cows, he returned to the teacher's house, stood before his preceptor, and bowed in reverence.
तमुपाध्यायः पीवानमेवापश्यत् ।

47. The teacher saw him and noticed he was stout. He then asked him, "You don't eat alms-food, nor do you subsist on anything else. You don't drink milk. Yet, you are stout. How do you manage to live?"
स एवमुक्त उपाध्यायं प्रत्युवाच ।
भोः फेनं पिबामि यमिमे वत्सा मातॄणां स्तनं पिबन्त उद्गिरन्तीति ॥४८॥

48. saḥ evam uktaḥ upādhyāyam pratyuvāca bhoḥ phenam pibāmi

48. Thus addressed, he replied to the teacher, "Sir, I drink the foam that these calves, while drinking from their mothers' udders, spill out."
तमुपाध्यायः प्रत्युवाच ।
एते त्वदनुकम्पया गुणवन्तो वत्साः प्रभूततरं फेनमुद्गिरन्ति ।

49. The teacher replied to him, "These calves, out of compassion for you, are especially virtuous and thus spill out abundant foam. Therefore, even by behaving in this way, you are hindering the calves' livelihood. You ought not to drink even the foam."
स तथेति प्रतिज्ञाय निराहारस्ता गा अरक्षत् ।

50. Having promised 'so be it', he protected those cows without partaking of any food. Though thus forbidden (from eating anything), he would not eat alms, nor would he partake of anything else. He would not drink milk, nor would he consume the foam.
स कदाचिदरण्ये

51. One day, in the forest, afflicted by hunger, he ate arka leaves.
स तैरर्कपत्रैर्भक्षितैः क्षारकटूष्णविपाकिभिश्चक्षुष्युपहतोऽन्धोऽभवत् ।
सोऽन्धोऽपि चङ्क्रम्यमाणः कूपेऽपतत् ॥५२॥

52. Having eaten those arka leaves, which were salty, pungent, and had a heating effect, his eyes were damaged, and he became blind. Even though he was blind, while wandering, he fell into a well.
अथ तस्मिन्ननागच्छत्युपाध्यायः शिष्यानवोचत् ।

53. Then, when he did not return, the teacher said to his students: "Upamanyu has been completely forbidden by me (to eat anything). He is certainly angry. That is why he is not returning, and he has been gone for a long time."
स एवमुक्त्वा गत्वारण्यमुपमन्योराह्वानं चक्रे ।

54. saḥ evam uktvā gatvā araṇyam upamanyoḥ āhvānam

54. Having spoken thus, he went to the forest and called out to Upamanyu, saying, "O Upamanyu! Where are you? Son, come!"

55. सः तदाह्वानम् उपाध्यायात् श्रुत्वा प्रत्युवाच

55. Having heard that call from the teacher, he replied loudly, "Here I am, O teacher! I have fallen into a well."
तमुपाध्यायः प्रत्युवाच ।

56. tamupādhyāyaḥ pratyuvāca ,

56. The teacher replied to him, "How did you fall into the well?"
स तं प्रत्युवाच ।

57. sa taṁ pratyuvāca ,

57. सः तम् प्रत्युवाच अर्कपत्राणि भक्षयित्वा

57. He replied to him, "Having eaten ark leaves, I have become blind. Therefore, I fell into the well."
तमुपाध्यायः प्रत्युवाच ।

58. तम् उपाध्यायः प्रत्युवाच अश्विनौ स्तुहि तौ

58. The teacher replied to him, "Praise the Aśvins. Those two divine physicians will make you sighted."
स एवमुक्त उपाध्यायेन स्तोतुं

59. sa evamukta upādhyāyena stotuṁ

59. सः एवम् उक्तः उपाध्यायेन स्तोतुम्
प्रचक्रमे देवौ अश्विनौ वाग्भिः ऋग्भिः
59. Thus spoken to by the teacher, he began to praise the two deities, the Aśvins, with words and hymns.
प्र पूर्वगौ पूर्वजौ चित्रभानू गिरा वा शंसामि तपनावनन्तौ ।
दिव्यौ सुपर्णौ विरजौ विमानावधिक्षियन्तौ भुवनानि विश्वा ॥६०॥
60. pra pūrvagau pūrvajau citrabhānū; girā vā śaṁsāmi tapanāvanantau ,

girā vā śaṃsāmi tapanau anantau
divyau suparṇau virajau vimānau

60. With my speech, I extol the two brilliant-shining ones, the foremost and ancient, the boundless illuminators. They are the two divine, beautiful-winged, pure, and swiftly-moving ones, who preside over all worlds.
हिरण्मयौ शकुनी सांपरायौ नासत्यदस्रौ सुनसौ वैजयन्तौ ।
शुक्रं वयन्तौ तरसा सुवेमावभि व्ययन्तावसितं विवस्वत् ॥६१॥
61. hiraṇmayau śakunī sāṁparāyau; nāsatyadasrau sunasau vaijayantau ,

61. hiraṇmayau śakunī sāṃparāyau
nāsatya dasrau sunasau vaijayantau
śukraṃ vayantau tarasā suvemau
abhi vyayantau asitaṃ vivasvat
61. They are the two golden, decisive 'birds' (swift beings), Nāsatya and Dasra, with beautiful noses, always victorious. They swiftly weave the pure (light) with their excellent craft, and envelop the darkness, shining like the sun.
ग्रस्तां सुपर्णस्य बलेन वर्तिकाममुञ्चतामश्विनौ सौभगाय ।

62. grastāṁ suparṇasya balena vartikā;mamuñcatāmaśvinau saubhagāya ,

62. grastām suparṇasya balena vartikām
amuñcatām aśvinau saubhāgāya
tau suvṛttau anamanta māyayā
sattamāḥ gāḥ aruṇāḥ udāvahan
62. The Aśvins released the quail, which had been seized by Suparṇa's force, for the sake of good fortune. Then, those two virtuous ones, by their power, caused the excellent, reddish cows to bow down and led them forth.
षष्टिश्च गावस्त्रिशताश्च धेनव एकं वत्सं सुवते तं दुहन्ति ।
नानागोष्ठा विहिता एकदोहनास्तावश्विनौ दुहतो घर्ममुक्थ्यम् ॥६३॥
63. ṣaṣṭiśca gāvastriśatāśca dhenava; ekaṁ vatsaṁ suvate taṁ duhanti ,

63. ṣaṣṭiḥ ca gāvaḥ triśatāḥ ca dhenavaḥ
ekaṃ vatsaṃ suvate taṃ duhanti
nānāgoṣṭhāḥ vihitāḥ ekadohanāḥ
tau aśvinau duhataḥ gharmam ukthyam
63. Sixty cows and three hundred milch-cows give birth to a single calf, and then they all milk it. Though their stalls are varied and distinct, they are appointed for a single milking. From them, the two Aśvins milk the praiseworthy, warm soma-drink.
एकां नाभिं सप्तशता अराः श्रिताः प्रधिष्वन्या विंशतिरर्पिता अराः ।
अनेमि चक्रं परिवर्ततेऽजरं मायाश्विनौ समनक्ति चर्षणी ॥६४॥
64. ekāṁ nābhiṁ saptaśatā arāḥ śritāḥ; pradhiṣvanyā viṁśatirarpitā arāḥ ,

64. ekām nābhim saptaśatāḥ arāḥ śritāḥ
pradhiṣu anyā viṃśatiḥ arpitāḥ
arāḥ anemi cakram parivartate ajaraṃ
māyā aśvinau samanakti carṣaṇī
64. Seven hundred spokes rest upon a single hub, and another twenty spokes are placed on the felloes. An ageless wheel, without a felloe, revolves. The divine power (Māyā) connects the two Aśvins and the two kinds of active beings (or 'humanity').
एकं चक्रं वर्तते द्वादशारं प्रधिषण्णाभिमेकाक्षममृतस्य धारणम् ।
यस्मिन्देवा अधि विश्वे विषक्तास्तावश्विनौ मुञ्चतो मा विषीदतम् ॥६५॥
65. ekaṁ cakraṁ vartate dvādaśāraṁ pradhi;ṣaṇṇābhimekākṣamamṛtasya dhāraṇam ,

65. ekam cakram vartate dvādaśāram
pradhiṣaṇṇābhim ekākṣam amṛtasya dhāraṇam
yasmin devāḥ adhi viśve viṣaktāḥ
tau aśvinau muñcataḥ mā viṣīdattam
65. A single wheel revolves, having twelve spokes, a felloe with six naves, and a single axle, which supports immortality. In this (wheel), all gods are dependent. Those two Asvins release (them). O Asvins, do not be disheartened!
अश्विनाविन्द्रममृतं वृत्तभूयौ तिरोधत्तामश्विनौ दासपत्नी ।
भित्त्वा गिरिमश्विनौ गामुदाचरन्तौ तद्वृष्टमह्ना प्रथिता वलस्य ॥६६॥
66. aśvināvindramamṛtaṁ vṛttabhūyau; tirodhattāmaśvinau dāsapatnī ,

66. aśvinau indram amṛtam vṛttabhūyau
tirodhattām aśvinau dāsapatnī
bhittvā girim aśvinau gām udācarantau
tat vṛṣṭam ahnā prathitā valasya
66. O Asvins! May you conceal Indra and immortality, which have become abundant. O Asvins, (you who deal with) the Dāsa's wife! Having split the mountain, the Asvins brought forth the cows (or light). That (released water) rained down by day, and Vala's glory was spread.
युवां दिशो जनयथो दशाग्रे समानं मूर्ध्नि रथया वियन्ति ।
तासां यातमृषयोऽनुप्रयान्ति देवा मनुष्याः क्षितिमाचरन्ति ॥६७॥
67. yuvāṁ diśo janayatho daśāgre; samānaṁ mūrdhni rathayā viyanti ,

samānam mūrdhni rathayā viyanti
tāsām yātum ṛṣayaḥ anupryāyanti

67. You two first generated the ten directions. At the summit, they diverge equally, like a chariot's path. Sages follow their course, while gods and humans move about on earth.
युवां वर्णान्विकुरुथो विश्वरूपांस्तेऽधिक्षियन्ति भुवनानि विश्वा ।
ते भानवोऽप्यनुसृताश्चरन्ति देवा मनुष्याः क्षितिमाचरन्ति ॥६८॥
68. yuvāṁ varṇānvikurutho viśvarūpāṁ;ste'dhikṣiyanti bhuvanāni viśvā ,
te bhānavo'pyanusṛtāścaranti; devā manuṣyāḥ kṣitimācaranti.
68. juvām varṇān vikuruthaḥ viśvarūpān
te adhikṣiyanti bhuvanāni viśvā
te bhānavaḥ api anusṛtāḥ caranti
devāḥ manuṣyāḥ kṣitim ācaranti
68. You two create diverse forms (or colors). These all-formed (forms/colors) pervade all worlds. Those rays also spread out and move about. Gods and humans dwell on the earth.
तौ नासत्यावश्विनावामहे वां स्रजं च यां बिभृथः पुष्करस्य ।

srajam ca yām bibhṛthaḥ puṣkarasya
tau nāsatyau amṛtau ṛtāvṛdhau

69. O those two Nāsatyas, O Asvins, we invoke you, along with the lotus-garland that you both bear. Those two Nāsatyas, immortal and cherishing the cosmic order, (are revered) by the gods in accordance with cosmic order; by their (lit. 'that') arrival, (creation) is brought forth.
मुखेन गर्भं लभतां युवानौ गतासुरेतत्प्रपदेन सूते ।

70. mukhena garbhaṁ labhatāṁ yuvānau; gatāsuretatprapadena sūte ,

70. mukhena garbham labhatām yuvānau
gatāsuḥ etat prapadena sūte |
sadyaḥ jātaḥ mātaram atti garbhaḥ
tāu aśvinau muñcathaḥ jīvase gāḥ
70. May the two youths obtain a fetus through the mouth. This one, whose life has departed, gives birth through the foot. The one just born devours its mother. O Aśvins, release the cows (gāḥ) for the sake of our livelihood (jīvase).
एवं तेनाभिष्टुतावश्विनावाजग्मतुः ।

71. evam tena abhiṣṭutāu aśvināu ājagmatuḥ | āhatuḥ ca

71. Thus, praised by him, the two Aśvins (aśvinau) arrived. They also said to him: "We are pleased. This is your cake. Eat this!"
स एवमुक्तः प्रत्युवाच ।

72. saḥ evam uktaḥ pratyuvāca na anṛtam ūcatuḥ bhavantau na

72. Being addressed thus, he replied, "You two have not spoken falsely. However, I am not able to consume this cake without first informing my teacher (guru)."
ततस्तमश्विनावूचतुः ।

73. Then the two Aśvins addressed him, 'Previously, we gave a cake, being pleased and praised in that very way by your own teacher (upādhyāya). And he (your teacher) consumed it without informing his (own) teacher (guru). You, too, should do the same, just as your teacher did.'
स एवमुक्तः पुनरेव प्रत्युवाचैतौ ।

74. Being addressed thus, he again replied to them, 'O Aśvins, I implore you two: I am not able to consume (this cake) without informing my preceptor (upādhyāya).'

75. The two Aśvins spoke to him. Pleased, they said, 'By this guru-devotion of yours, which bestows welfare, your teacher's teeth, which are made of black iron, will become golden for your sake. And you will become endowed with sight and attain great fortune,' they said.
स एवमुक्तोऽश्विभ्यां लब्धचक्षुरुपाध्यायसकाशमागम्योपाध्यायमभिवाद्याचचक्षे ।

76. He, having been spoken to thus by the two Aśvins and having regained his sight, came to the presence of his teacher. Having saluted the teacher, he narrated (what happened). And the teacher became pleased with him.
आह चैनम् ।
यथाश्विनावाहतुस्तथा त्वं श्रेयोऽवाप्स्यसीति ।

77. āha cainam ,

77. āha ca enam yathā aśvinau āhatuḥ tathā tvam śreyaḥ

77. And he said to him, 'Just as the Aśvins said, so too will you attain good fortune. And all the Vedas will shine forth (become clear) to you,' he said.

78. eṣā tasyāpi

78. eṣā tasya api

78. This was also the test of Upamanyu.

79. athāparaḥ śiṣyastasyaivāyodasya

79. atha aparaḥ śiṣyaḥ tasya eva

79. Now, another student of that very Ayoda Dhaumya was named Veda.
तमुपाध्यायः संदिदेश ।

80. The teacher instructed him, "Son Veda, stay here. You must serve diligently in my house for some time. This will bring you ultimate well-being (śreyas)."
स तथेत्युक्त्वा गुरुकुले दीर्घकालं गुरुशुश्रूषणपरोऽवसत् ।

81. Having said, "So be it," he remained in the guru's abode for a long time, diligently engaged in serving his teacher. Like an ox, he was constantly employed in the tasks assigned by his teachers, enduring cold, heat, hunger, thirst, and various hardships, and was always compliant in all matters.
तस्य महता कालेन गुरुः परितोषं जगाम ।

82. tasya mahatā kālena guruḥ paritoṣaṁ jagāma ,

82. tasya mahatā kālena guruḥ paritoṣam jagāma tatparitoṣāt ca
śreyaḥ sarvajñatām ca avāpa eṣā tasya api parīkṣā vedasya
82. After a long time, the teacher was greatly pleased with him. From that satisfaction, the student attained ultimate well-being (śreyas) and omniscience. This, moreover, was also the test of Veda (the student).
स उपाध्यायेनानुज्ञातः समावृत्तस्तस्माद्गुरुकुलवासाद्गृहाश्रमं प्रत्यपद्यत ।

83. Having received permission from his teacher, he returned from his residence in the teacher's household (gurukula) and entered the householder's stage (āśrama). Even while he was living in his own home, three disciples came to him.
स शिष्यान्न किंचिदुवाच ।

84. sa śiṣyānna kiṁciduvāca ,

84. saḥ śiṣyān na kiñcit uvāca karma

duḥkhābhijñaḥ hi gurukulavāsasya
śiṣyān parikleśena yojayitum na īyeṣa
84. He did not say anything to his disciples like, 'Let work (karma) be done, or let service to the guru (guruśuśrūṣā) be performed.' Indeed, being himself familiar with the difficulties of dwelling in a teacher's household (gurukula), he did not wish to burden his disciples with hardship.
अथ कस्यचित्कालस्य वेदं ब्राह्मणं जनमेजयः

85. atha kasyacitkālasya vedaṁ brāhmaṇaṁ janamejayaḥ

85. atha kasyacit kālasya vedam brāhmaṇam janamejayaḥ
pauṣyaḥ ca kṣatriyau upetya upādhyāyam varayām cakratuḥ
85. Then, after some time, the two Kṣatriyas, Janamejaya and Pauṣya, approached the Brahmin Veda and chose him as their teacher.
स कदाचिद्याज्यकार्येणाभिप्रस्थित उत्तङ्कं नाम शिष्यं नियोजयामास ।

86. Once, when he was leaving for a sacrificial ritual, he appointed a disciple named Utṭaṅka, saying: 'O Utṭaṅka, I wish that whatever is lacking in our household should be made complete by you.'
स एवं प्रतिसमादिश्योत्तङ्कं
वेदः प्रवासं जगाम ॥८७॥
87. sa evaṁ pratisamādiśyottaṅkaṁ

87. sa evam pratisamādiśya
uttaṅkam vedaḥ pravāsam jagāma
87. Having thus instructed Utṭaṅka, Veda set out on a journey.
अथोत्तङ्को गुरुशुश्रूषुर्गुरुनियोगमनुतिष्ठमानस्तत्र

88. athottaṅko guruśuśrūṣurguruniyogamanutiṣṭhamānastatra

88. atha uttaṅkaḥ guruśuśrūṣuḥ guruniyogam
anutiṣṭhamānaḥ tatra gurukule vasati sma
88. Then Utṭaṅka, eager to serve his teacher and fulfilling his teacher's command, resided there in the guru's household.
स वसंस्तत्रोपाध्यायस्त्रीभिः सहिताभिराहूयोक्तः ।

89. While he was living there, he was called by the teacher's wives and told: 'Your teacher's wife is in her fertile period, and the teacher is away. See to it that her fertile period does not go in vain. This situation troubles us.'
स एवमुक्तस्ताः स्त्रियः प्रत्युवाच ।

90. He, thus addressed, replied to those women: 'This improper act should not be done by me merely at the bidding of women. Indeed, I was not instructed by my teacher with the words, "Even an improper act should be performed by you."'
तस्य पुनरुपाध्यायः कालान्तरेण गृहानुपजगाम तस्मात्प्रवासात् ।

91. After a period of time, his teacher returned home from that sojourn. Having learned the entire account of his (disciple's) conduct, he became extremely pleased.
उवाच चैनम् ।

92. And he said to him, 'My son Uttanka, what favor may I grant you? For indeed, you have served me faithfully according to dharma. Therefore, mutual affection has grown between us. So, I give you leave. You shall attain all success. You may go.'
स एवमुक्तः प्रत्युवाच ।

93. sa evam uktaḥ prati uvāca | kim te

93. He, thus addressed, responded, 'What favor may I do for you?' Indeed, they say thus:
यश्चाधर्मेण विब्रूयाद्यश्चाधर्मेण पृच्छति ।
तयोरन्यतरः प्रैति विद्वेषं चाधिगच्छति ॥९४॥
94. yaścādharmeṇa vibrūyādyaścādharmeṇa pṛcchati ,

94. yaḥ ca adharmeṇa vibrūyāt yaḥ ca adharmeṇa pṛcchati
| tayoḥ anyataraḥ praiti vidveṣam ca adhigacchati
94. Whoever teaches unrighteously, and whoever questions unrighteously – one of those two perishes and also incurs enmity.

95. Having been granted permission by you, I wish to offer you what is desired as a guru's fee.

96. Thus addressed by him, the teacher replied, "My dear Uttanka, stay here for a while."

97. One day, Uttanka said to the teacher, "Please command, sir! What dear thing shall I offer you as a guru's fee?"
तमुपाध्यायः प्रत्युवाच ।

98. The teacher replied to him, "My dear Uttanka, you repeatedly press me about offering a guru's fee. Therefore, go! Go in and ask the teacher's wife, 'What shall I offer?' Whatever she tells you, that you should offer."
स एवमुक्त उपाध्यायेनोपाध्यायिनीमपृच्छत् ।

99. Thus addressed by the teacher, he asked the teacher's wife, "Reverend Madam, I have been permitted by the teacher to go home. Therefore, I wish to offer you what is desired as a guru's fee and then depart free of debt. So, please command, Madam! What shall I offer for the guru's fee?"

100. Thus addressed, the teacher's wife replied to Uttanka: 'Go to King Paushya and beg from him the two earrings worn by his Kshatriya wife. Bring them to me. On the fourth day from now, there will be a meritorious ceremony. I wish to serve Brahmins while adorned with those two earrings. Therefore, ensure that they are presented beautifully on that day, adorned with those earrings. Indeed, it will be auspicious for you if you do this promptly.'

101. Thus spoken to by the teacher's wife, Uttanka set out. As he went along the path, he saw a bull of immense size, and upon it was seated a man who was also of immense size.

104. The man spoke to him again, saying, 'Eat it, Uttanka! Do not hesitate. Your teacher also ate this before.'

105. Having been thus addressed, Utanka said, "All right!" Then, after consuming that bull's dung and urine, he set out for the place where the kshatriya Paushya was.

110. saḥ tena evam uktaḥ praviśya

110. He, thus spoken to by him, entered the women's quarters but did not see the Kṣatriya lady.
स पौष्यं पुनरुवाच ।

111. sa pauṣyaṁ punaruvāca ,

111. saḥ pauṣyam punar uvāca na yuktam

111. He again said to Pauṣya: "It is not proper for you to treat us with falsehood. For she is certainly not present in your inner chambers for Kṣatriya women. I do not see her."
स एवमुक्तः पौष्यस्तं प्रत्युवाच ।
संप्रति भवानुच्छिष्टः ।
स्मर तावत् ।

112. sa evamuktaḥ pauṣyastaṁ pratyuvāca ,

112. Pauṣya, thus spoken to, replied to him: "Currently, you are impure (from eating). Remember this for a moment. Indeed, that Kṣatriya woman cannot be seen by one who is impure from eating or by one who is unclean. Because of her chastity as a devoted wife, she does not allow an unclean person to see her."
अथैवमुक्त उत्तङ्कः स्मृत्वोवाच ।

113. atha evam uktaḥ uttaṅkaḥ smṛtvā uvāca asti khalu

113. Then Uttaṅka, thus spoken to, remembered and said: "Indeed, a touching (rendering me impure) occurred by me, who was impure (from eating) and going quickly."
तं पौष्यः प्रत्युवाच ।
एतत्तदेवं हि ।

114. taṁ pauṣyaḥ pratyuvāca ,

114. tam pauṣyaḥ pratyuvāca etat tat evam hi na
gacchata upaspṛṣṭam bhavati na sthitena iti
114. Pauṣya replied to him: "Indeed, that is exactly how it is. Impurity (from eating) does not occur to one who is going, nor by one who is standing."
अथोत्तङ्कस्तथेत्युक्त्वा प्राङ्मुख उपविश्य

115. Then Uttanka, saying "So be it," sat down facing east. After thoroughly washing his hands, feet, and face, and performing the ritual sipping of water - drinking it thrice, wiping his mouth twice, and touching his sense organs with soundless, pleasing water - he entered the inner chambers and saw that Kṣatriya woman.
सा च दृष्ट्वैवोत्तङ्कमभ्युत्थायाभिवाद्योवाच ।

116. sā ca dṛṣṭvaivottaṅkamabhyutthāyābhivādyovāca ,

116. sā ca dṛṣṭvā eva uttaṅkam abhyutthāya abhivādya

116. And she, upon seeing Uttanka, immediately rose, greeted him, and said, "Welcome, reverend sir! Please command me; what may I do for you?"
स तामुवाच ।
एते कुण्डले गुर्वर्थं मे भिक्षिते दातुमर्हसीति ॥११७॥
117. sa tāmuvāca ,

117. sa tām uvāca ete kuṇḍale guru-artham

117. He said to her, "These two earrings have been requested by me for my preceptor's sake. You ought to give them."
सा प्रीता तेन तस्य सद्भावेन पात्रमयमनतिक्रमणीयश्चेति

118. sā prītā tena tasya sadbhāvena pātramayamanatikramaṇīyaśceti

118. sā prītā tena tasya sadbhāvena pātram ayam anatikramaṇīyaḥ
ca iti matvā te kuṇḍale avamucya asmai prāyacchat
118. Pleased by his sincerity, and considering, "He is a worthy recipient, and his request must not be denied," she took off those two earrings and gave them to him.
आह चैनम् ।
एते कुण्डले तक्षको नागराजः प्रार्थयति ।
अप्रमत्तो नेतुमर्हसीति ॥११९॥
119. āha cainam ,

119. āha ca enam ete kuṇḍale takṣakaḥ nāga-rājaḥ

119. And she said to him, "Takṣaka, the king of serpents, desires these two earrings. You must carry them with caution."
स एवमुक्तस्तां क्षत्रियां प्रत्युवाच ।
भवति सुनिर्वृता भव ।
न मां शक्तस्तक्षको नागराजो धर्षयितुमिति ॥१२०॥
120. sa evamuktastāṁ kṣatriyāṁ pratyuvāca ,

120. saḥ evam uktaḥ tām kṣatriyām pratyuvāca bhavati sunirvṛtā
bhava na mām śaktaḥ takṣakaḥ nāgarājaḥ dharṣayitum iti
120. Having been thus addressed, he replied to that kṣatriya woman: 'Lady, be completely at peace. Takṣaka, the king of serpents, is not able to overpower me.'
स एवमुक्त्वा तां क्षत्रियामामन्त्र्य

121. sa evamuktvā tāṁ kṣatriyāmāmantrya

121. saḥ evam uktvā tām kṣatriyām

121. Having spoken thus and having bid farewell to that kṣatriya woman, he went to Pauṣya.
स तं दृष्ट्वोवाच ।
भोः पौष्य प्रीतोऽस्मीति ॥१२२॥
122. sa taṁ dṛṣṭvovāca ,
bhoḥ pauṣya prīto'smīti.
122. saḥ tam dṛṣṭvā uvāca bhoḥ

122. Upon seeing him, he said, 'O Pauṣya, I am pleased.'
तं पौष्यः प्रत्युवाच ।

123. Pauṣya replied to him: 'Venerable Sir, after a long time a worthy recipient has been found. And you are a meritorious guest. Therefore, I will perform a śrāddha (funeral offering). Please grant me a moment (for preparation).'
तमुत्तङ्कः प्रत्युवाच ।

124. tam uttaṅkaḥ pratyuvāca kṛtakṣaṇaḥ eva asmi śīghram

124. Uttanka replied to him: 'I am indeed one who has already granted the requested time (for your preparations). I wish for food, whatever is readily available, to be offered by you quickly.'
स तथेत्युक्त्वा

125. He, saying 'So be it,' fed him with suitable food.
अथोत्तङ्कः शीतमन्नं सकेशं दृष्ट्वा अशुच्येतदिति मत्वा पौष्यमुवाच ।
यस्मान्मे अशुच्यन्नं ददासि तस्मदन्धो भविष्यसीति ॥१२६॥

uvāca yasmāt me aśuci annam

126. Then, Uttanka, seeing the cold food mixed with hair, thought, 'This is impure,' and said to Pauṣya, 'Because you give me impure food, you shall become blind!'
तं पौष्यः प्रत्युवाच ।
यस्मात्त्वमप्यदुष्टमन्नं दूषयसि तस्मादनपत्यो भविष्यसीति ॥१२७॥
127. taṁ pauṣyaḥ pratyuvāca ,

127. tam pauṣyaḥ prati uvāca yasmāt tvam api aduṣṭam
annam dūṣayasi tasmāt anapatyaḥ bhaviṣyasi iti
127. Pauṣya replied to him, 'Because you condemn even faultless food, you shall become childless!'
सोऽथ

128. so'tha

128. saḥ atha pauṣyaḥ tasya

128. Then King Pauṣya ascertained the impurity of that food.
अथ तदन्नं मुक्तकेश्या स्त्रियोपहृतं सकेशमशुचि मत्वोत्तङ्कं प्रसादयामास ।
भगवन्नज्ञानादेतदन्नं सकेशमुपहृतं शीतं च ।

129. atha tadannaṁ muktakeśyā striyopahṛtaṁ sakeśamaśuci matvottaṅkaṁ prasādayāmāsa ,

129. atha tat annam muktakeśyā striyā upahṛtam

ajñānāt etat annam sakeśam upahṛtam śītam

129. Then, realizing that the food, offered by a woman with unbound hair, was impure because it contained hair, (Pauṣya) appeased Uttanka. (He said,) 'O venerable one, this food, offered with hair and also cold, was given out of ignorance. Therefore, I seek your forgiveness, so that I may not become blind!'
तमुत्तङ्कः प्रत्युवाच ।
न मृषा ब्रवीमि ।

130. Uttanka replied to him, "I do not speak falsely. Having become blind, you will regain your sight soon. And my curse should not be enacted by you."
तं पौष्यः प्रत्युवाच ।
नाहं शक्तः शापं प्रत्यादातुम् ।

131. taṁ pauṣyaḥ pratyuvāca ,

śaktaḥ śāpam pratyādātum na hi me
manyuḥ adya api upaśamam gacchati

131. Paushya replied to him, "I am not able to retract the curse. Indeed, my anger has not yet subsided. Furthermore, is it not known to you that..."
नावनीतं हृदयं ब्राह्मणस्य वाचि क्षुरो निहितस्तीक्ष्णधारः ।

132. nāvanītaṁ hṛdayaṁ brāhmaṇasya; vāci kṣuro nihitastīkṣṇadhāraḥ ,

132. The heart of a Brahmin is soft like butter, but a sharp-edged razor is placed in their speech. For a Kshatriya, both of these are the opposite: their speech is not soft like butter, and their heart is sharp-edged.
इति ।
तदेवं गते न शक्तोऽहं तीक्ष्णहृदयत्वात्तं शापमन्यथा कर्तुम् ।

133. iti tat evam gate na śaktaḥ aham tīkṣṇahṛdayatvāt

133. Thus, things having come to this, I am unable to alter that curse due to my unyielding heart. You may go.
तमुत्तङ्कः प्रत्युवाच ।

134. Uttanka replied to him, "You made me understand the issue of the food's impurity. And it was said to you previously: 'Because you declare pure food impure, therefore you will be childless.' (I also said then,) 'If the food was actually impure, then this curse of mine will not take effect.'"

135. "Let us accomplish this first," having said this, Uttanka set out, taking those two earrings.
सोऽपश्यत्पथि नग्नं श्रमणमागच्छन्तं मुहुर्मुहुर्दृश्यमानमदृश्यमानं च ।

136. On the path, he saw a naked mendicant, appearing and disappearing repeatedly. Then, Uttanka, placing those two earrings on the ground, proceeded to fetch water.
एतस्मिन्नन्तरे स श्रमणस्त्वरमाण उपसृत्य ते कुण्डले गृहीत्वा प्राद्रवत् ।

137. In the meantime, that mendicant, hurrying up, approached, took those two earrings, and ran away. Uttanka pursued and caught him. He (the mendicant), abandoning that form, assumed the form of Takshaka and suddenly entered a great open chasm in the earth.
प्रविश्य च नागलोकं स्वभवनमगच्छत् ।

138. Having entered the Naga realm, he went to his own abode. Uttanka entered after him through that very chasm. Having entered, he then praised the Nagas with these verses.
य ऐरावतराजानः सर्पाः समितिशोभनाः ।

139. ya airāvatarājānaḥ sarpāḥ samitiśobhanāḥ ,

139. ye airāvata-rājānaḥ sarpāḥ samiti-śobhanāḥ |
varṣantaḥ iva jīmūtāḥ sa-vidyut-pavana-īritāḥ
139. Those serpents, who are like kings such as Airavata and who are splendid in assemblies, [appear] like rain clouds accompanied by lightning and driven by the wind.

140. surūpāḥ ca virūpāḥ ca tathā kalmāṣakuṇḍalāḥ
ādityavat nākapṛṣṭhe rejuḥ airāvatodbhavāḥ
140. The offspring of Airāvata, both beautiful and deformed, and similarly those with variegated markings like earrings, shone like the sun in the celestial realm.
बहूनि नागवर्त्मानि गङ्गायास्तीर उत्तरे ।

141. bahūni nāgavartmāni gaṅgāyāḥ tīre uttare icchet
kaḥ arkāṃśusenāyāṃ cartum airāvatam vinā
141. There are many serpent paths on the northern bank of the Ganga. Who would desire to move among the host of sunbeams without Airāvata?

142. When Dhṛtarāṣṭra stirs, twenty-eight thousand eight hundred serpents, his principal ones, move forth.

143. ye ca enam upasarpanti ye ca dūram param gatāḥ

143. I offer my obeisance to the elder brothers of Airāvata, both those who approach him and those who have gone far away.

144. yasya vāsaḥ kurukṣetre khāṇḍave ca abhavat sadā

144. I praised Takṣaka, the son of Kadru, whose abode was always in Kurukṣetra and Khāṇḍava, for the sake of the earrings (or coiled jewels).
तक्षकश्चाश्वसेनश्च नित्यं सहचरावुभौ ।

145. takṣakaḥ ca aśvasenaḥ ca nityam sahacarau

145. Takshaka and Ashvasena, both constant companions, resided in Kurukshetra along the Ikṣumatī river, among the resident beings.
जघन्यजस्तक्षकस्य श्रुतसेनेति यः श्रुतः ।

146. Takshaka's son, who was known as Shrutasena, who was a glorious dweller, desiring the chief position among the Nagas - to that great soul, I always offer my salutations.
एवं स्तुवन्नपि नागान्यदा ते कुण्डले

159. Then Takṣaka, agitated and dismayed by the fear of the fire's brilliance, quickly took those two earrings, came out of his own abode, and said to Uttanka, "Let Your Honor accept these two earrings."
स ते प्रतिजग्राहोत्तङ्कः ।

160. Uttanka accepted them from him. Having received the earrings, he thought, "Today is the day for the teacher's wife's meritorious offering, and I have come a long way. How indeed can I possibly manage this?"
तत एनं चिन्तयानमेव स पुरुष उवाच ।

161. Then, while he was still pondering, that man spoke to him: "Uttanka, mount this horse! This horse will take you to your teacher's home in an instant."
स तथेत्युक्त्वा तमश्वमधिरुह्य प्रत्याजगामोपाध्यायकुलम् ।

162. He, saying "So be it," mounted that horse and returned to the teacher's home. Meanwhile, the teacher's wife, having bathed and letting down her hair, was sitting and (thinking) "Uttanka is not coming!", thus setting her mind on cursing him.
अथोत्तङ्कः प्रविश्य उपाध्यायिनीमभ्यवादयत् ।

163. athottaṅkaḥ praviśya upādhyāyinīmabhyavādayat ,

163. atha uttaṅkaḥ praviśya upādhyāyinīm

163. Then Uttanka, having entered, greeted the teacher's wife. And he gave those two earrings to her.
सा चैनं प्रत्युवाच ।

164. And she replied to him: "Uttanka, you have arrived at the proper place at the proper time. Welcome, my child! I almost cursed you. Good fortune has come to you. May you attain success!"
अथोत्तङ्क उपाध्यायमभ्यवादयत् ।

165. Then Uttanka bowed respectfully to his preceptor. The preceptor replied to him, 'My dear Uttanka, welcome! Why did it take so long?'
तमुत्तङ्क उपाध्यायं प्रत्युवाच ।
भोस्तक्षकेण नागराजेन विघ्नः कृतोऽस्मिन्कर्मणि ।

vighnaḥ kṛtaḥ asmin karmaṇi tena asmi nāgalokam nītaḥ
166. Uttanka replied to his preceptor, 'Sir, an obstruction was caused in this task by Takṣaka, the king of serpents. By him, I was taken to the serpent world.'
तत्र च मया दृष्टे स्त्रियौ तन्त्रेऽधिरोप्य पटं वयन्त्यौ ।

167. tatra ca mayā dṛṣṭe striyau tantre adhiropya paṭam
vayantyau tasmin ca tantre kṛṣṇāḥ sitāḥ ca tantavaḥ kim tat
167. And there, I saw two women weaving a cloth, having placed it on a loom. On that loom were black and white threads. What does that signify?
तत्र च मया चक्रं दृष्टं द्वादशारम् ।
षट्चैनं कुमाराः परिवर्तयन्ति ।

168. tatra ca mayā cakraṁ dṛṣṭaṁ dvādaśāram ,

168. tatra ca mayā cakram dṛṣṭam dvādaśāram ṣaṭ

168. And there, I saw a wheel with twelve spokes. Six youths were making it turn. What does that also signify?
पुरुषश्चापि मया दृष्टः ।

169. puruṣaścāpi mayā dṛṣṭaḥ ,

169. puruṣaḥ ca api mayā

169. And I also saw a man. But who is he?
अश्वश्चातिप्रमाणयुक्तः ।

170. aśvaścātipramāṇayuktaḥ ,
sa cāpi kaḥ.
170. aśvaḥ ca atipramāṇayuktaḥ
| saḥ ca api kaḥ
170. And the horse was of exceedingly great size. And who was he?

171. While traveling on the path, I saw a bull. A man was mounted upon it. He then courteously told me, 'O Uttanka, eat the dung of this bull. Your preceptor also ate it.' Thereupon, following his words, I consumed the dung of that bull. Therefore, I wish to know from you, what was that?
तेनैवमुक्त उपाध्यायः प्रत्युवाच ।
ये ते स्त्रियौ धाता विधाता च ।
ये च ते कृष्णाः सिताश्च तन्तवस्ते रात्र्यहनी ॥१७२॥
172. tenaivamukta upādhyāyaḥ pratyuvāca ,

172. tena eva uktaḥ upādhyāyaḥ pratyuvāca | ye te striyau dhātā
vidhātā ca | ye ca te kṛṣṇāḥ sitāḥ ca tantavaḥ te rātryahanī
172. Thus addressed by him, the preceptor replied: 'Those two women, Dhātā and Vidhātā, are yours. And those black and white threads of yours are night and day.'
यदपि तच्चक्रं द्वादशारं षट्कुमाराः परिवर्तयन्ति ते ऋतवः षट्संवत्सरश्चक्रम् ।

173. And that wheel which has twelve spokes, and which six boys revolve – those are the six seasons, and the wheel itself is the year. The man is Parjanya, and the horse is Agni.
य ऋषभस्त्वया पथि गच्छता दृष्टः स ऐरावतो नागराजः ।

174. That bull which you saw while going on the path, that is Airāvata, the king of nāgas (elephants). And the one who was mounted upon it is Indra. And that dung of the bull which you ate, that is amṛta (the nectar of immortality).
तेन खल्वसि न व्यापन्नस्तस्मिन्नागभवने ।

175. tena khalvasi na vyāpannastasminnāgabhavane ,

175. tena khalu asi na vyāpannaḥ tasmin

175. Indeed, it is through his intervention that you were not killed in that serpent's abode. And he, Indra, is also my friend.

176. By his grace, you have returned again, having retrieved the earrings. Therefore, gentle one, you may depart. I grant you permission. You will attain prosperity.

177. Having received permission from his teacher, Uttanka, enraged at Takṣaka and desiring revenge, departed for Hastinapura.

178. saḥ hāstinapuram prāpya na cirāt dvijasattamaḥ

178. Having reached Hastinapura, Uttanka, that foremost among Brahmins, soon approached King Janamejaya.
पुरा तक्षशिलातस्तं निवृत्तमपराजितम् ।

179. purā takṣaśilātastaṁ nivṛttamaparājitam ,

179. purā takṣaśilātaḥ tam nivṛttam aparājitam
samyagvijayinam dṛṣṭvā samantāt mantribhiḥ vṛtam
179. Uttanka met Janamejaya, having seen him who had recently returned from Takṣaśila, unconquered and completely victorious, surrounded on all sides by his ministers.
तस्मै जयाशिषः पूर्वं यथान्यायं प्रयुज्य सः ।

180. tasmai jayāśiṣaḥ pūrvaṃ yathānyāyaṃ prayujya
saḥ uvāca enam vacaḥ kāle śabdasampannayā girā
180. Having first offered him blessings for victory in accordance with custom, he then spoke these words to him at the appropriate time with a voice rich in articulate sounds.
अन्यस्मिन्करणीये त्वं कार्ये पार्थिवसत्तम ।

181. anyasminkaraṇīye tvaṁ kārye pārthivasattama ,

181. anyasmin karaṇīye tvaṃ kārye pārthivasattama
bālyāt iva anyat eva tvaṃ kuruṣe nṛpasattama
181. O best of kings, while another task needs to be performed, you, O best of men, are performing something else entirely, as if out of childishness.
एवमुक्तस्तु विप्रेण स राजा प्रत्युवाच ह ।
जनमेजयः प्रसन्नात्मा सम्यक्संपूज्य तं मुनिम् ॥१८२॥
182. evamuktastu vipreṇa sa rājā pratyuvāca ha ,

182. evam uktaḥ tu vipreṇa saḥ rājā pratyuvāca ha
janamejayaḥ prasannātmā samyak sampūjya tam munim
182. Thus addressed by the Brahmin, King Janamejaya, whose mind was pleased, after properly revering that sage, replied to him.
आसां प्रजानां परिपालनेन स्वं क्षत्रधर्मं परिपालयामि ।
प्रब्रूहि वा किं क्रियतां द्विजेन्द्र शुश्रूषुरस्म्यद्य वचस्त्वदीयम् ॥१८३॥
183. āsāṁ prajānāṁ paripālanena; svaṁ kṣatradharmaṁ paripālayāmi ,

kṣatradharmaṃ paripālayāmi
prabrūhi vā kiṃ kriyatām dvijendra
śuśrūṣuḥ asmi adya vacaḥ tvadīyam
183. By protecting these subjects, I uphold my own duty as a Kshatriya. Or rather, O chief of Brahmins, tell me what should be done; today I am eager to hear your words.
स एवमुक्तस्तु नृपोत्तमेन द्विजोत्तमः पुण्यकृतां वरिष्ठः ।

184. That best of Brahmins, foremost among those who perform meritorious deeds, thus addressed by the excellent king, then spoke to the king, who possessed an undaunted spirit, regarding his own duty and that which is proper for a king.
तक्षकेण नरेन्द्रेन्द्र येन ते हिंसितः पिता ।

185. takṣakeṇa narendrendra yena te hiṃsitaḥ pitā
| tasmai pratikuruṣva tvaṃ pannagāya durātmane
185. O best among kings, you must retaliate against that wicked serpent Takṣaka, by whom your father was harmed.
कार्यकालं च मन्येऽहं विधिदृष्टस्य कर्मणः ।
तद्गच्छापचितिं राजन्पितुस्तस्य महात्मनः ॥१८६॥
186. kāryakālaṁ ca manye'haṁ vidhidṛṣṭasya karmaṇaḥ ,
tadgacchāpacitiṁ rājanpitustasya mahātmanaḥ.
186. kāryakālaṃ ca manye aham vidhidṛṣṭasya karmaṇaḥ |
tat gaccha apacitiṃ rājan pituḥ tasya mahātmanaḥ
186. I consider this the opportune moment for the prescribed action. Therefore, O King, go and exact retribution for that noble father of yours.
तेन ह्यनपराधी स दष्टो दुष्टान्तरात्मना ।
पञ्चत्वमगमद्राजा वज्राहत इव द्रुमः ॥१८७॥
187. tena hyanaparādhī sa daṣṭo duṣṭāntarātmanā ,
pañcatvamagamadrājā vajrāhata iva drumaḥ.
187. tena hi anaparādhī sa daṣṭaḥ duṣṭāntarātmanā
| pañcatvam agamat rājā vajrāhataḥ iva drumaḥ
187. Indeed, that innocent king was bitten by that wicked-hearted (serpent) and met his death, just like a tree struck by a thunderbolt.
बलदर्पसमुत्सिक्तस्तक्षकः पन्नगाधमः ।
अकार्यं कृतवान्पापो योऽदशत्पितरं तव ॥१८८॥
188. baladarpasamutsiktastakṣakaḥ pannagādhamaḥ ,
akāryaṁ kṛtavānpāpo yo'daśatpitaraṁ tava.
188. baladarpasamutsiktaḥ takṣakaḥ pannagādhamaḥ |
akāryaṃ kṛtavān pāpaḥ yaḥ adaśat pitaraṃ tava
188. Takṣaka, that wickedest of serpents, puffed up with the arrogance of his strength, committed a sinful act by biting your father.
राजर्षिवंशगोप्तारममरप्रतिमं नृपम् ।
जघान काश्यपं चैव न्यवर्तयत पापकृत् ॥१८९॥
189. rājarṣivaṁśagoptāramamarapratimaṁ nṛpam ,
jaghāna kāśyapaṁ caiva nyavartayata pāpakṛt.
189. rājarṣivaṃśagoptāram amarapratimaṃ nṛpam |
jaghāna kāśyapaṃ ca eva nyavartayata pāpakṛt
189. That wicked creature killed the king, who was the protector of the royal sage dynasty and equal to a god, and also made Kaśyapa turn back.
दग्धुमर्हसि तं पापं ज्वलिते हव्यवाहने ।
सर्पसत्रे महाराज त्वयि तद्धि विधीयते ॥१९०॥
190. dagdhumarhasi taṁ pāpaṁ jvalite havyavāhane ,
sarpasatre mahārāja tvayi taddhi vidhīyate.
190. dagdhum arhasi tam pāpam jvalite havyavāhane
sarpasatre mahārāja tvayi tat hi vidhīyate
190. O great king, you ought to burn that sinful one in the blazing sacrificial fire. Indeed, that is prescribed for you to do in the serpent sacrifice.
एवं पितुश्चापचितिं गतवांस्त्वं भविष्यसि ।
मम प्रियं च सुमहत्कृतं राजन्भविष्यति ॥१९१॥
191. evaṁ pituścāpacitiṁ gatavāṁstvaṁ bhaviṣyasi ,
mama priyaṁ ca sumahatkṛtaṁ rājanbhaviṣyati.
191. evam pituḥ ca apacitim gatavān tvam bhaviṣyasi
mama priyam ca sumahat kṛtam rājan bhaviṣyati
191. In this way, you will have offered requital to your father. And, O king, a very great favor will have been done for me.
कर्मणः पृथिवीपाल मम येन दुरात्मना ।
विघ्नः कृतो महाराज गुर्वर्थं चरतोऽनघ ॥१९२॥
192. karmaṇaḥ pṛthivīpāla mama yena durātmanā ,
vighnaḥ kṛto mahārāja gurvarthaṁ carato'nagha.
192. karmaṇaḥ pṛthivīpāla mama yena durātmanā vighnaḥ
kṛtaḥ mahārāja guru artham carataḥ anagha
192. O protector of the earth, O great king, O sinless one, by that wicked being an obstacle was created to my endeavor which I was performing for the sake of my guru.
एतच्छ्रुत्वा तु नृपतिस्तक्षकस्य चुकोप ह ।
उत्तङ्कवाक्यहविषा दीप्तोऽग्निर्हविषा यथा ॥१९३॥
193. etacchrutvā tu nṛpatistakṣakasya cukopa ha ,
uttaṅkavākyahaviṣā dīpto'gnirhaviṣā yathā.
193. etat śrutvā tu nṛpatiḥ takṣakasya cukopa ha
uttaṅkavākyahaviṣā dīptaḥ agniḥ haviṣā yathā
193. Having heard this, the king indeed became angry at Takṣaka, just as a fire is ignited by an oblation, so he was ignited by the offering of Uttanka's words.
अपृच्छच्च तदा राजा मन्त्रिणः स्वान्सुदुःखितः ।
उत्तङ्कस्यैव सांनिध्ये पितुः स्वर्गगतिं प्रति ॥१९४॥
194. apṛcchacca tadā rājā mantriṇaḥ svānsuduḥkhitaḥ ,
uttaṅkasyaiva sāṁnidhye pituḥ svargagatiṁ prati.
194. apṛcchat ca tadā rājā mantriṇaḥ svān sudukhitaḥ
uttaṅkasya eva sāṃnidhyē pituḥ svargagatim prati
194. And then, the greatly distressed king, in Uttanka's very presence, questioned his own ministers regarding his father's attainment of heaven.
तदैव हि स राजेन्द्रो दुःखशोकाप्लुतोऽभवत् ।
यदैव पितरं वृत्तमुत्तङ्कादशृणोत्तदा ॥१९५॥
195. tadaiva hi sa rājendro duḥkhaśokāpluto'bhavat ,
yadaiva pitaraṁ vṛttamuttaṅkādaśṛṇottadā.
195. tadā eva hi saḥ rājendraḥ duḥkhaśokaāplutaḥ abhavat
yadā eva pitaram vṛttam uttaṅkāt aśṛṇot tadā
195. That great king was indeed overcome by sorrow and grief at that very moment when he heard from Uttanka about his father's demise.
