tūṣṇīm āsīt tataḥ devaḥ devānām īśvareśvaraḥ
12. Then, as the beautiful woman (Bhāminī) was addressed again and again, she remained silent, as if drained of spirit. Thereupon, the God, the Lord of lords (Īśvareśvara),
प्रससाद किल ब्रह्मा स्वयमेवात्मनात्मवान् ।
स्मयमानश्च लोकेशो लोकान्सर्वानवैक्षत ॥१३॥

ca smayamānaḥ lokeśaḥ sarvān lokān avaikṣata
13. Brahmā, being self-possessed (ātmavān), indeed became gracious by his own (ātman) power. And the Lord of the worlds (Lokeśa), smiling, looked upon all the worlds.

14. When that unconquered Lord (bhagavat) had calmed his anger, that maiden departed from his vicinity; thus, we have heard.

15. rājendra! apasṛtya prajāsaṃharaṇam apratiśrutya,
tadā tvaramāṇā iva mṛtyuḥ dhenukam abhyayāt
15. Having retreated and not agreed to the destruction of beings, O best of kings, Death (mṛtyu), as if hurrying, then approached Dhenuka.
सा तत्र परमं देवी तपोऽचरत दुश्चरम् ।
समा ह्येकपदे तस्थौ दश पद्मानि पञ्च च ॥१६॥
16. sā tatra paramaṁ devī tapo'carata duścaram ,

16. sā devī tatra paramam duścaram tapaḥ acarat hi,
ekapade daśa padmāni pañca ca samāḥ tasthau
16. There, that divine lady (devī) performed extremely arduous austerities (tapas). Indeed, she stood in one spot for fifteen padmas (a measure of time).
तां तथा कुर्वतीं तत्र तपः परमदुश्चरम् ।
पुनरेव महातेजा ब्रह्मा वचनमब्रवीत् ॥१७॥
17. tāṁ tathā kurvatīṁ tatra tapaḥ paramaduścaram ,

17. punaḥ eva mahātejāḥ brahmā tām tathā tatra
paramaduścaram tapaḥ kurvatīm vacanam abravīt
17. To her, who was performing such extremely arduous austerities (tapas) there, the greatly glorious Brahmā again spoke these words.
कुरुष्व मे वचो मृत्यो तदनादृत्य सत्वरा ।
तथैवैकपदे तात पुनरन्यानि सप्त सा ॥१८॥
18. kuruṣva me vaco mṛtyo tadanādṛtya satvarā ,

18. mṛtyo me vacaḥ kuruṣva tāta tat anādṛtya satvarā
sā tathā eva ekapade punaḥ anyāni sapta (cakāra)
18. O Death, obey my command. However, disregarding that (potential obstacle or previous interaction), she, being swift, instantly performed seven other (vows) in the same manner, O dear one.
तस्थौ पद्मानि षट्चैव पञ्च द्वे चैव मानद ।
भूयः पद्मायुतं तात मृगैः सह चचार सा ॥१९॥
19. tasthau padmāni ṣaṭcaiva pañca dve caiva mānada ,

19. mānada sā ṣaṭ ca eva pañca ca eva dve padmāni
tasthau tāta bhūyaḥ mṛgaiḥ saha padma-āyutam cacāra
19. O giver of honor, she stood on six lotuses, and on five, and on two. Furthermore, O dear one, she wandered with deer for an immense period of time, spanning ten thousand *padmas* (a unit of large numbers).
पुनर्गत्वा ततो राजन्मौनमातिष्ठदुत्तमम् ।
अप्सु वर्षसहस्राणि सप्त चैकं च पार्थिव ॥२०॥
20. punargatvā tato rājanmaunamātiṣṭhaduttamam ,

20. rājan sā tatas punaḥ gatvā uttamam maunam ātiṣṭhat pārthiva
ca apsu sapta ca ekam ca varṣa-sahasrāṇi (ātiṣṭhat)
20. Again, having gone from that place, O King, she observed an excellent vow of silence. And, O Prince, she remained in the waters for seven and one - totalling eight - thousands of years.
ततो जगाम सा कन्या कौशिकीं भरतर्षभ ।
तत्र वायुजलाहारा चचार नियमं पुनः ॥२१॥

tatra vāyu-jala-āhārā cacāra niyamam punaḥ
21. bharata-ṛṣabha tatas sā kanyā kauśikīm jagāma
tatra vāyu-jala-āhārā punaḥ niyamam cacāra
21. Then that maiden went to the Kauśikī (river), O best among the Bharatas. There, subsisting solely on air and water, she again performed her religious observance.
ततो ययौ महाभागा गङ्गां मेरुं च केवलम् ।
तस्थौ दार्विव निश्चेष्टा भूतानां हितकाम्यया ॥२२॥
22. tato yayau mahābhāgā gaṅgāṁ meruṁ ca kevalam ,

22. tataḥ yayau mahābhāgā gaṅgām merum ca kevalam
tasthau dāru iva niśceṣṭā bhūtānām hitakāmyayā
22. tataḥ mahābhāgā gaṅgām merum ca kevalam yayau; bhūtānām hitakāmyayā dāru iva niśceṣṭā tasthau.
22. Then, the greatly blessed one went to the Gaṅgā and Mount Meru alone. She stood there motionless like a log of wood, driven by the desire for the welfare of all beings.
ततो हिमवतो मूर्ध्नि यत्र देवाः समीजिरे ।
तत्राङ्गुष्ठेन राजेन्द्र निखर्वमपरं ततः ।
तस्थौ पितामहं चैव तोषयामास यत्नतः ॥२३॥
23. tato himavato mūrdhni yatra devāḥ samījire ,

himavataḥ mūrdhni tatra,
rājendra,
aṅguṣṭhena aparam nikharvam tataḥ tasthau ca pitāmaham eva yatnataḥ toṣayāmāsa.
23. Then, on the peak of the Himalayas (Himavat), where the gods had performed Vedic rituals (yajña), there, O King of kings (rājendra), she stood, supporting herself on her thumb for another immense period (nikharvam) after that. And with great effort (tapas), she pleased the Grandfather (pitāmaha).

किमिदं वर्तते पुत्रि क्रियतां तद्वचो मम ॥२४॥
24. tatastāmabravīttatra lokānāṁ prabhavāpyayaḥ ,

24. tataḥ tatra lokānām prabhavāpyayaḥ tām abravīt: "putri,
idam kim vartate? mama tat vacaḥ kriyatām.
"
24. Then, the Lord of the origin and dissolution of all worlds (prabhavāpyayaḥ) spoke to her there: "Daughter (putri), what is this that you are doing? Let my command be followed."
ततोऽब्रवीत्पुनर्मृत्युर्भगवन्तं पितामहम् ।
न हरेयं प्रजा देव पुनस्त्वाहं प्रसादये ॥२५॥
25. tato'bravītpunarmṛtyurbhagavantaṁ pitāmaham ,

25. tataḥ punar mṛtyuḥ bhagavantam pitāmaham abravīt: "deva,
aham prajā na hareyam.
punas tvā prasādaye.
"
25. Then Death (mṛtyu) again spoke to the revered Grandfather (pitāmaha), saying: "O Lord (deva), I shall not take away (destroy) beings. I implore you again."
तामधर्मभयत्रस्तां पुनरेव च याचतीम् ।
तदाब्रवीद्देवदेवो निगृह्येदं वचस्ततः ॥२६॥
26. tāmadharmabhayatrastāṁ punareva ca yācatīm ,
tadābravīddevadevo nigṛhyedaṁ vacastataḥ.
26. tām adharmabhayatrastām punaḥ eva ca yācatīm
tadā abravīt devadevaḥ nigṛhya idam vacaḥ tataḥ
26. tadā devadevaḥ adharmabhayatrastām punaḥ eva ca
yācatīm tām nigṛhya tataḥ idam vacaḥ abravīt
26. The God of gods (devadevaḥ) then spoke these words, gently restraining her who was again begging, terrified by the fear of unrighteousness (adharma).
अधर्मो नास्ति ते मृत्यो संयच्छेमाः प्रजाः शुभे ।
मया ह्युक्तं मृषा भद्रे भविता नेह किंचन ॥२७॥
27. adharmo nāsti te mṛtyo saṁyacchemāḥ prajāḥ śubhe ,
mayā hyuktaṁ mṛṣā bhadre bhavitā neha kiṁcana.
27. adharmaḥ na asti te mṛtyo saṃyaccha imāḥ prajāḥ śubhe
mayā hi uktam mṛṣā bhadre bhavitā na iha kiñcana
27. mṛtyo śubhe te adharmaḥ na asti.
imāḥ prajāḥ saṃyaccha.
bhadre hi mayā uktam iha kiñcana mṛṣā na bhavitā.
27. O Death (mṛtyo), there is no unrighteousness (adharma) for you. O auspicious one (śubhe), restrain these creatures. Indeed, O gracious one (bhadre), nothing I have said here will turn out false.
धर्मः सनातनश्च त्वामिहैवानुप्रवेक्ष्यते ।
अहं च विबुधाश्चैव त्वद्धिते निरताः सदा ॥२८॥
28. dharmaḥ sanātanaśca tvāmihaivānupravekṣyate ,

28. ca sanātanaḥ dharmaḥ eva iha tvām anupravekṣyate.
ca aham ca vibudhāḥ eva sadā tvaddhite niratāḥ.
28. Eternal natural law (dharma) will indeed accompany you right here. And I, along with the gods (vibudhāḥ), are always dedicated to your welfare.
इममन्यं च ते कामं ददामि मनसेप्सितम् ।
न त्वा दोषेण यास्यन्ति व्याधिसंपीडिताः प्रजाः ॥२९॥

29. aham te imam anyam ca manas-īpsitam kāmam dadāmi.
vyādhi-saṃpīḍitāḥ prajāḥ tvā doṣeṇa na yāsyanti.
29. I grant you this and another desire that is cherished by your mind. Creatures tormented by disease will not approach you with any fault (doṣa).
पुरुषेषु च रूपेण पुरुषस्त्वं भविष्यसि ।
स्त्रीषु स्त्रीरूपिणी चैव तृतीयेषु नपुंसकम् ॥३०॥

30. tvam puruṣeṣu ca rūpeṇa puruṣaḥ bhaviṣyasi
strīṣu strīrūpiṇī ca eva tṛtīyeṣu napuṃsakam
30. And among men, you will be a man (puruṣa) in form; among women, you will indeed be in a feminine form; and among those of the third gender, you will be neuter.
सैवमुक्ता महाराज कृताञ्जलिरुवाच ह ।

punar eva mahātmānam na iti deveśam avyayam
31. mahārāja,
sā eva uktā kṛtāñjaliḥ ha punar eva mahātmānam deveśam avyayam na iti uvāca.
31. O great king, having been thus addressed, she, with folded hands, indeed said 'no' again to the great-souled, imperishable lord of gods.
तामब्रवीत्तदा देवो मृत्यो संहर मानवान् ।
अधर्मस्ते न भविता तथा ध्यास्याम्यहं शुभे ॥३२॥

32. tadā devaḥ tām abravīt: "mṛtyo,
mānavān saṃhara! te adharmaḥ na bhavitā.
śubhe,
tathā aham dhyāsyāmi.
"
32. Then the god said to her, "O Death, destroy humans! There will be no unrighteousness (adharma) for you; thus will I meditate, O auspicious one."
यानश्रुबिन्दून्पतितानपश्यं ये पाणिभ्यां धारितास्ते पुरस्तात् ।

(aham) apaśyam.
33. O Death, those teardrops which I saw falling, and which were formerly held by your hands - those very teardrops, appearing as terrible diseases, will torment humans at the appointed time.
सर्वेषां त्वं प्राणिनामन्तकाले कामक्रोधौ सहितौ योजयेथाः ।
एवं धर्मस्त्वामुपैष्यत्यमेयो न चाधर्मं लप्स्यसे तुल्यवृत्तिः ॥३४॥
34. sarveṣāṁ tvaṁ prāṇināmantakāle; kāmakrodhau sahitau yojayethāḥ ,
evaṁ dharmastvāmupaiṣyatyameyo; na cādharmaṁ lapsyase tulyavṛttiḥ.
34. sarveṣām tvaṃ prāṇinām antakāle
kāmakrodhau sahitau yojayethāḥ evam
dharmaḥ tvām upaiṣyati ameyaḥ na
ca adharmam lapsyase tulyavṛttiḥ
34. tvaṃ antakāle sarveṣām prāṇinām
kāmakrodhau sahitau yojayethāḥ evam
ameyaḥ dharmaḥ tvām upaiṣyati ca
tulyavṛttiḥ adharmam na lapsyase
34. You (Death) should apply desire and anger together to all beings at the time of their end. By doing so, immeasurable natural law (dharma) will befall you, and you will not incur unrighteousness (adharma) by performing this duty.
एवं धर्मं पालयिष्यस्यथोक्तं न चात्मानं मज्जयिष्यस्यधर्मे ।
तस्मात्कामं रोचयाभ्यागतं त्वं संयोज्याथो संहरस्वेह जन्तून् ॥३५॥
35. evaṁ dharmaṁ pālayiṣyasyathoktaṁ; na cātmānaṁ majjayiṣyasyadharme ,
tasmātkāmaṁ rocayābhyāgataṁ tvaṁ; saṁyojyātho saṁharasveha jantūn.
35. evam dharmam pālayiṣyasi atha uktam na
ca ātmānam majjayiṣyasi adharme tasmāt
kāmam rocaya abhyāgatam tvam saṃyojya
atha uktam saṃharasva iha jantūn
35. evam uktam dharmam pālayiṣyasi ca
ātmānam adharme na majjayiṣyasi tasmāt
tvam abhyāgatam kāmam rocaya ca
saṃyojya atha iha jantūn saṃharasva
35. Thus, you will uphold the natural law (dharma) as instructed, and you will not immerse yourself in unrighteousness (adharma). Therefore, you should accept the duty (kāma) that has fallen upon you, and having combined (desire and anger), you should then bring an end to these creatures here.
सा वै तदा मृत्युसंज्ञापदेशाच्छापाद्भीता बाढमित्यब्रवीत्तम् ।
अथो प्राणान्प्राणिनामन्तकाले कामक्रोधौ प्राप्य निर्मोह्य हन्ति ॥३६॥
36. sā vai tadā mṛtyusaṁjñāpadeśā;cchāpādbhītā bāḍhamityabravīttam ,
atho prāṇānprāṇināmantakāle; kāmakrodhau prāpya nirmohya hanti.
36. sā vai tadā mṛtyusaṃjñāpadeśāt

36. sā vai tadā śāpāt ca mṛtyusaṃjñāpadeśāt
bhītā iti bāḍham abravīt
tam atho antakāle prāṇinām prāṇān
kāmakrodhau prāpya ca nirmohya hanti
36. Indeed, then she (Death), afraid because of the curse and the designation (as) Death, said to him, 'Certainly!' And so, at the time of their end, having imbued beings with desire and anger, and having deluded them, she takes the lives of creatures.
मृत्योर्ये ते व्याधयश्चाश्रुपाता मनुष्याणां रुज्यते यैः शरीरम् ।
सर्वेषां वै प्राणिनां प्राणनान्ते तस्माच्छोकं मा कृथा बुध्य बुद्ध्या ॥३७॥
37. mṛtyorye te vyādhayaścāśrupātā; manuṣyāṇāṁ rujyate yaiḥ śarīram ,
sarveṣāṁ vai prāṇināṁ prāṇanānte; tasmācchokaṁ mā kṛthā budhya buddhyā.
37. mṛtyoḥ ye te vyādhayaḥ ca aśrupātāḥ
manuṣyāṇām rujyate yaiḥ śarīram
sarveṣām vai prāṇinām prāṇanānte
tasmāt śokam mā kṛthāḥ budhya buddhyā
37. ye te mṛtyoḥ vyādhayaḥ ca aśrupātāḥ
yaiḥ manuṣyāṇām śarīram rujyate vai
sarveṣām prāṇinām prāṇanānte tasmāt
buddhyā budhya (idam) śokam mā kṛthāḥ
37. Those diseases and tearful lamentations of Death are the means by which the bodies of humans are afflicted. Indeed, these occur at the very end of life for all beings. Therefore, do not grieve; understand this with your intellect.
सर्वे देवाः प्राणिनां प्राणनान्ते गत्वा वृत्ताः संनिवृत्तास्तथैव ।
एवं सर्वे मानवाः प्राणनान्ते गत्वावृत्ता देववद्राजसिंह ॥३८॥
38. sarve devāḥ prāṇināṁ prāṇanānte; gatvā vṛttāḥ saṁnivṛttāstathaiva ,
evaṁ sarve mānavāḥ prāṇanānte; gatvāvṛttā devavadrājasiṁha.
38. sarve devāḥ prāṇinām prāṇana-ante
gatvā vṛttāḥ saṃnivṛttāḥ tathā
eva | evam sarve mānavāḥ prāṇana-ante
gatvā āvṛttāḥ devavat rājasiṃha
38. rājasiṃha sarve devāḥ prāṇinām
prāṇana-ante gatvā vṛttāḥ saṃnivṛttāḥ
tathā eva evam sarve mānavāḥ
prāṇana-ante gatvā devavat āvṛttāḥ
38. O king (rājasiṃha), just as all deities, upon the cessation of life (prāṇana) for living beings, undergo a cycle of departure and return, similarly, all human beings, at the culmination of their own lives, depart and return just like the deities.
वायुर्भीमो भीमनादो महौजाः सर्वेषां च प्राणिनां प्राणभूतः ।
नानावृत्तिर्देहिनां देहभेदे तस्माद्वायुर्देवदेवो विशिष्टः ॥३९॥
39. vāyurbhīmo bhīmanādo mahaujāḥ; sarveṣāṁ ca prāṇināṁ prāṇabhūtaḥ ,
nānāvṛttirdehināṁ dehabhede; tasmādvāyurdevadevo viśiṣṭaḥ.
39. vāyuḥ bhīmaḥ bhīma-nādaḥ mahā-ojāḥ
sarveṣām ca prāṇinām prāṇa-bhūtaḥ

tasmāt vāyuḥ deva-devaḥ viśiṣṭaḥ
39. vāyuḥ bhīmaḥ bhīma-nādaḥ mahā-ojāḥ
ca sarveṣām prāṇinām prāṇa-bhūtaḥ
dehinām deha-bhede nānā-vṛttiḥ
tasmāt vāyuḥ deva-devaḥ viśiṣṭaḥ
39. Vāyu is formidable, with a terrible roar and immense power, and is the essential life-force (prāṇa) of all living beings. He manifests in various functions for embodied beings, particularly at the dissolution of their bodies. Therefore, Vāyu is the most distinguished deity, the god of gods.
सर्वे देवा मर्त्यसंज्ञाविशिष्टाः सर्वे मर्त्या देवसंज्ञाविशिष्टाः ।
तस्मात्पुत्रं मा शुचो राजसिंह पुत्रः स्वर्गं प्राप्य ते मोदते ह ॥४०॥
40. sarve devā martyasaṁjñāviśiṣṭāḥ; sarve martyā devasaṁjñāviśiṣṭāḥ ,
tasmātputraṁ mā śuco rājasiṁha; putraḥ svargaṁ prāpya te modate ha.
40. sarve devāḥ martya-saṃjñā-viśiṣṭāḥ
sarve martyāḥ deva-saṃjñā-viśiṣṭāḥ
| tasmāt putram mā śucaḥ rājasiṃha
putraḥ svargam prāpya te modate ha
40. rājasiṃha sarve devāḥ martya-saṃjñā-viśiṣṭāḥ
sarve martyāḥ ca
deva-saṃjñā-viśiṣṭāḥ tasmāt putram mā śucaḥ
putraḥ svargam prāpya te modate ha
40. All deities are designated by the name 'mortal', and all mortals are designated by the name 'deity'. Therefore, O king (rājasiṃha), do not grieve for your son; having attained heaven, your son certainly rejoices.
एवं मृत्युर्देवसृष्टा प्रजानां प्राप्ते काले संहरन्ती यथावत् ।
तस्याश्चैव व्याधयस्तेऽश्रुपाताः प्राप्ते काले संहरन्तीह जन्तून् ॥४१॥
41. evaṁ mṛtyurdevasṛṣṭā prajānāṁ; prāpte kāle saṁharantī yathāvat ,
tasyāścaiva vyādhayaste'śrupātāḥ; prāpte kāle saṁharantīha jantūn.
41. evam mṛtyuḥ deva-sṛṣṭā prajānām
prāpte kāle saṃharantī yathāvat |
tasyāḥ ca eva vyādhayaḥ te aśru-pātāḥ
prāpte kāle saṃharantī iha jantūn
41. evam deva-sṛṣṭā mṛtyuḥ prāpte kāle
prajānām yathāvat saṃharantī ca
eva tasyāḥ vyādhayaḥ te aśru-pātāḥ
prāpte kāle iha jantūn saṃharantī
41. Thus, Death (mṛtyu), created by the deities, duly causes the dissolution of beings at the appointed time. And her (Death's) diseases, as well as those very tears (aśrupāta), also destroy living beings in this world at the appointed time.
