1. Vaiśampāyana said: There was a king named Uparicara, a ruler ever devoted to righteousness. On one occasion, he resolved to go hunting.

3. The wielder of the thunderbolt, Lord Indra himself, directly approached that king who was dwelling in his hermitage, having laid down his weapons and being devoted to asceticism.

26. Those people who always arrange the festival of Indra (Śakra) become purified. They are purified just as one becomes purified through various gifts such as land grants (bhūmidāna) and through great sacrifices (mahāyajña) involving the granting of boons; similarly, they are purified by the festival of Indra.
संपूजितो मघवता वसुश्चेदिपतिस्तदा ।

30. O King, these were the sons of that royal sage of immense splendor. Those five kings, who resembled the Vasus, established various countries and cities, naming them after themselves. Their dynasties were distinct and enduring.
वसन्तमिन्द्रप्रासादे आकाशे स्फाटिके च तम् ।

37. On that very day, his ancestors, being pleased with that best of kings, the foremost among the wise, told him: 'Hunt the deer!'
स पितॄणां नियोगं तमव्यतिक्रम्य पार्थिवः ।
चचार मृगयां कामी गिरिकामेव संस्मरन् ।

38. sa pitṝṇāṁ niyogaṁ tamavyatikramya pārthivaḥ ,

pārthivaḥ cacāra mṛgayām kāmī

39. As he roamed through the beautiful forest, his semen spilled. The king then saw that very semen, immediately after it spilled, collected on a tree leaf.
प्रतिजग्राह मिथ्या मे न स्कन्देद्रेत इत्युत ।
ऋतुश्च तस्याः पत्न्या मे न मोघः स्यादिति प्रभुः ॥४०॥
40. pratijagrāha mithyā me na skandedreta ityuta ,

42. He, the knower of the subtle essence of righteousness and purpose, having ascertained the proper time for his queen's impregnation, then consecrated that semen. Recognizing a swift-flying hawk standing nearby, he then spoke to it.
मत्प्रियार्थमिदं सौम्य शुक्रं मम गृहं नय ।

43. matpriyārtham idam saumya śukram mama gṛham naya
girikāyāḥ prayaccha āśu tasyāḥ hi ārtavam adya vai
43. O gentle one, for my sake, take this semen to my residence. Deliver it quickly to Girikā, for today is indeed her fertile period.

44. gṛhītvā tat tadā śyenaḥ tūrṇam utpatya vegavān
javam paramam āsthāya pradudrāva vihaṅgamaḥ
44. Having taken that, the swift hawk then flew up quickly. Adopting supreme speed, the bird rushed forth.

45. tam apaśyat atha āyāntam śyenam śyenaḥ tathā aparaḥ
abhyadravat ca tam sadyaḥ dṛṣṭvā eva āmiṣa-śaṅkayā
45. Then, another hawk saw that hawk coming and immediately rushed towards it, suspecting it had prey.

46. tuṇḍa-yuddham atha ākāśe tau ubhau sampra-cakratuḥ
yudhyatoḥ apatat retaḥ tat ca api yamunā-ambhasi
46. Then, those two engaged in a beak-fight in the sky. While they were fighting, their semen fell, and that too, into the waters of the Yamuna.
तत्राद्रिकेति विख्याता ब्रह्मशापाद्वराप्सराः ।

47. tatra adrikā iti vikhyātā brahma-śāpāt vara-apsarāḥ
mīna-bhāvam anuprāptā babhūva yamunā-carī
47. There, an excellent Apsara named Adrika, who was well-known and had attained the state of a fish due to Brahma's curse, became a dweller in the Yamuna.
श्येनपादपरिभ्रष्टं तद्वीर्यमथ वासवम् ।

48. śyena-pāda-paribhramṣṭam tat vīryam atha vāsavam
jagrāha tarasā upetya sā adrikā matsya-rūpiṇī
48. Then, Adrika, in the form of a fish, quickly approached and took that divine semen which had fallen from the hawk's feet.
कदाचिदथ मत्सीं तां बबन्धुर्मत्स्यजीविनः ।

matsya-jīvinaḥ māse ca daśame prāpte
tadā bharata-sattama ujjahruḥ

49. O best of Bharatas, once the fishermen caught that fish. Then, when the tenth month arrived, they extracted a human male and female from her belly.
आश्चर्यभूतं मत्वा तद्राज्ञस्ते प्रत्यवेदयन् ।

50. āścaryabhūtam matvā tat rājñaḥ te pratyavedayan
kāye matsyā imau rājan saṃbhūtau mānuṣau iti
50. Considering it a marvel, they reported to that king: 'O King, these two human beings were born from the body of a fish!'
तयोः पुमांसं जग्राह राजोपरिचरस्तदा ।
स मत्स्यो नाम राजासीद्धार्मिकः सत्यसंगरः ॥५१॥
51. tayoḥ pumāṁsaṁ jagrāha rājoparicarastadā ,

51. tayoḥ pumāṃsam jagrāha rājā uparicaraḥ tadā saḥ
matsyaḥ nāma rājā āsīt dhārmikaḥ satyasaṅgaraḥ
51. King Uparicara then took the male of the two children. That king, named Matsya, was a righteous ruler, truthful in his commitments.
साप्सरा मुक्तशापा च क्षणेन समपद्यत ।
पुरोक्ता या भगवता तिर्यग्योनिगता शुभे ।

52. sāpsarā muktaśāpā ca kṣaṇena samapadyata ,

52. sā apsarā muktaśāpā ca kṣaṇena
samapadyata pura uktā yā bhagavatā
tiryagyonigatā śubhe mānuṣau
janayitvā tvam śāpamokṣam avāpsyasi
52. That Apsara, freed from her curse, instantly transformed. She was the one whom the revered one (Bhagavat) had previously addressed, saying, 'O auspicious one, you will attain liberation (mokṣa) from your curse after giving birth to two human children, (despite) having taken birth in an animal womb.'
ततः सा जनयित्वा तौ विशस्ता मत्स्यघातिना ।
संत्यज्य मत्स्यरूपं सा दिव्यं रूपमवाप्य च ।

53. tataḥ sā janayitvā tau viśastā matsyaghātinā ,

53. tataḥ sā janayitvā tau viśastā
matsyaghātinā saṃtyajya matsyarūpam sā
divyam rūpam avāpya ca
siddharṣicāraṇapatham jagāma atha vara apsarāḥ
53. Then, after she had given birth to those two (children), she was killed by a fisherman. Having abandoned her fish-form and attained a divine form, that excellent Apsara then ascended to the path of the Siddhas, Rishis, and Charanas.
या कन्या दुहिता तस्या मत्स्या मत्स्यसगन्धिनी ।

54. yā kanyā duhitā tasyā matsyā matsyasagandhinī ,

54. That girl, her daughter Matsyā, who smelled of fish, was then given by the king to a fisherman, Dāśa, with the words, 'Let this one be yours.' She was endowed with beauty and inherent goodness (sattva), and complete with all (other) virtues.
सा तु सत्यवती नाम मत्स्यघात्यभिसंश्रयात् ।

55. sā tu satyavatī nāma matsyaghāti-abhisaṃśrayāt
āsīt matsyasagandhā eva kaṃcit kālam śucismitā
55. She, named Satyavati, due to her close association with fishermen, smelled of fish for some time, despite having a radiant smile.
शुश्रूषार्थं पितुर्नावं तां तु वाहयतीं जले ।

56. śuśrūṣārtham pituḥ nāvam tām tu vāhayatīm jale
tīrthayātrām parikrāmān apaśyat vai parāśaraḥ
56. As Parashara was wandering on a pilgrimage, he saw her, diligently ferrying her father's boat in the water as an act of service to him.
अतीव रूपसंपन्नां सिद्धानामपि काङ्क्षिताम् ।
दृष्ट्वैव च स तां धीमांश्चकमे चारुदर्शनाम् ।

57. atīva rūpasaṁpannāṁ siddhānāmapi kāṅkṣitām ,

kāṅkṣitām dṛṣṭvā eva ca saḥ tām dhīmān

vāsavīm kanyām kāryavān munipuṅgavaḥ
57. Upon seeing that maiden, Vasavi - who was endowed with exquisite beauty, desired even by celestials, and lovely to behold - the wise, intelligent, and purposeful sage Parashara immediately desired her.
साब्रवीत्पश्य भगवन्पारावारे ऋषीन्स्थितान् ।

58. sābravītpaśya bhagavanpārāvāre ṛṣīnsthitān ,

58. sā abravīt paśya bhagavan pārāvāre ṛṣīn sthitān
āvayoḥ dṛśyatoḥ ebhiḥ katham nu syāt samāgamaḥ
58. She said, 'O venerable one, look! Sages are standing on both sides of the riverbank. How can we possibly unite when we are being watched by them?'
एवं तयोक्तो भगवान्नीहारमसृजत्प्रभुः ।
येन देशः स सर्वस्तु तमोभूत इवाभवत् ॥५९॥
59. evaṁ tayokto bhagavānnīhāramasṛjatprabhuḥ ,

59. evam tayā uktaḥ bhagavān nīhāram asṛjat prabhuḥ
yena deśaḥ saḥ sarvaḥ tu tamaḥbhūtaḥ iva abhavat
59. Thus addressed by her, the venerable and powerful Lord (Parashara) created a dense mist, by which that entire region became as if plunged into darkness.
दृष्ट्वा सृष्टं तु नीहारं ततस्तं परमर्षिणा ।
विस्मिता चाब्रवीत्कन्या व्रीडिता च मनस्विनी ॥६०॥
60. dṛṣṭvā sṛṣṭaṁ tu nīhāraṁ tatastaṁ paramarṣiṇā ,

60. dṛṣṭvā sṛṣṭam tu nīhāram tataḥ tam paramarṣiṇā
vismitā ca abravīt kanyā vrīḍitā ca manasvinī
60. Having seen the mist created by the great sage, the high-minded maiden, astonished and embarrassed, then spoke.
विद्धि मां भगवन्कन्यां सदा पितृवशानुगाम् ।
त्वत्संयोगाच्च दुष्येत कन्याभावो ममानघ ॥६१॥
61. viddhi māṁ bhagavankanyāṁ sadā pitṛvaśānugām ,

61. viddhi mām bhagavan kanyām sadā pitṛvaśānugām
tvatsaṃyogāt ca duṣyeta kanyābhāvaḥ mama anagha
61. O revered one, know that I am a maiden, always obedient to my father's will. And, O sinless one, my maidenhood would be sullied by union with you.
कन्यात्वे दूषिते चापि कथं शक्ष्ये द्विजोत्तम ।

dvijottama gantum gṛham gṛhe ca aham
dhīman na sthātum utsahe etat
saṃcintya bhagavan vidhatsva yat anantaram
62. O best among the twice-born, even if my maidenhood is defiled, how will I be able to go home? And, O wise one, I cannot bear to stay at home either. Therefore, O revered one, considering all this, please arrange what should happen next.
एवमुक्तवतीं तां तु प्रीतिमानृषिसत्तमः ।

63. evam uktavatīm tām tu prītimān ṛṣisattamaḥ
uvāca matpriyam kṛtvā kanyā eva tvam bhaviṣyasi
63. When she had spoken thus, the pleased and best of sages said to her: 'After doing what I desire, you will remain a maiden.'
वृणीष्व च वरं भीरु यं त्वमिच्छसि भामिनि ।
वृथा हि न प्रसादो मे भूतपूर्वः शुचिस्मिते ॥६४॥
64. vṛṇīṣva ca varaṁ bhīru yaṁ tvamicchasi bhāmini ,
vṛthā hi na prasādo me bhūtapūrvaḥ śucismite.
64. vṛṇīṣva ca varam bhīru yam tvam icchasi bhāmini
vṛthā hi na prasādaḥ me bhūtapūrvaḥ śucismite
64. And, O timid one, O beautiful lady, choose the boon that you desire. For, O lady with a pure smile, my grace has never been futile.
एवमुक्ता वरं वव्रे गात्रसौगन्ध्यमुत्तमम् ।
स चास्यै भगवान्प्रादान्मनसः काङ्क्षितं प्रभुः ॥६५॥
65. evamuktā varaṁ vavre gātrasaugandhyamuttamam ,

65. evam uktā varam vavre gātrasaugandhyam uttamam | sa
ca asyai bhagavān prādāt manasaḥ kāṅkṣitam prabhuḥ
65. Thus addressed, she chose an excellent boon of bodily fragrance. The lord, Bhagavān, then granted her what her mind desired.
ततो लब्धवरा प्रीता स्त्रीभावगुणभूषिता ।
जगाम सह संसर्गमृषिणाद्भुतकर्मणा ॥६६॥
66. tato labdhavarā prītā strībhāvaguṇabhūṣitā ,

66. tataḥ labdhavarā prītā strībhāvaguṇabhūṣitā
| jagāma saha saṃsargam ṛṣiṇā adbhutakarmaṇā
66. Having thus obtained the boon, delighted and adorned with the qualities of womanhood, she then went together with the sage, who performed wonderful deeds, for union.
तेन गन्धवतीत्येव नामास्याः प्रथितं भुवि ।

67. tena gandhavatī iti eva nāma asyāḥ prathitam bhuvi
| tasyāḥ tu yojanāt gandham ājighranti narā bhuvi
67. Because of him, her name 'Gandhavatī' became renowned on earth. And on earth, people smell her fragrance from a distance of a yojana.
ततो योजनगन्धेति तस्या नाम परिश्रुतम् ।
