जनमेजय उवाच ।
कथं स भगवान्देवो यज्ञेष्वग्रहरः प्रभुः ।
यज्ञधारी च सततं वेदवेदाङ्गवित्तथा ॥१॥
1. janamejaya uvāca ,
kathaṁ sa bhagavāndevo yajñeṣvagraharaḥ prabhuḥ ,
yajñadhārī ca satataṁ vedavedāṅgavittathā.
1. janamejayaḥ uvāca katham saḥ bhagavān devaḥ yajñeṣu agra-haraḥ
prabhuḥ yajña-dhārī ca satatam veda-veda-aṅga-vit tathā
1. janamejayaḥ uvāca katham saḥ bhagavān devaḥ yajñeṣu agra-haraḥ
prabhuḥ ca satatam yajña-dhārī tathā veda-veda-aṅga-vit
1. Janamejaya asked: "How can that divine lord (bhagavān), the god, who is preeminent in Vedic rituals (yajña) and is the master, and who constantly upholds the Vedic ritual (yajña) and is also knowledgeable in the Vedas and Vedāṅgas - "
निवृत्तं चास्थितो धर्मं क्षेमी भागवतप्रियः ।
प्रवृत्तिधर्मान्विदधे स एव भगवान्प्रभुः ॥२॥
2. nivṛttaṁ cāsthito dharmaṁ kṣemī bhāgavatapriyaḥ ,
pravṛttidharmānvidadhe sa eva bhagavānprabhuḥ.
2. nivṛttam ca āsthitaḥ dharmam kṣemī bhāgavata-priyaḥ
pravṛtti-dharmān vidadhe saḥ eva bhagavān prabhuḥ
2. nivṛttam dharmam ca āsthitaḥ kṣemī bhāgavata-priyaḥ
saḥ eva bhagavān prabhuḥ pravṛtti-dharmān vidadhe
2. - that very divine lord (bhagavān), the master, who has adopted the natural law (dharma) of cessation, and is benevolent and dear to the Lord's devotees (bhāgavata), also establish the natural laws (dharma) of activity?
कथं प्रवृत्तिधर्मेषु भागार्हा देवताः कृताः ।
कथं निवृत्तिधर्माश्च कृता व्यावृत्तबुद्धयः ॥३॥
3. kathaṁ pravṛttidharmeṣu bhāgārhā devatāḥ kṛtāḥ ,
kathaṁ nivṛttidharmāśca kṛtā vyāvṛttabuddhayaḥ.
3. kathaṃ pravṛttidharmeṣu bhāgārhāḥ devatāḥ kṛtāḥ
kathaṃ nivṛttidharmāḥ ca kṛtāḥ vyāvṛttabuddhayaḥ
3. kathaṃ devatāḥ pravṛttidharmeṣu bhāgārhāḥ kṛtāḥ
ca kathaṃ nivṛttidharmāḥ vyāvṛttabuddhayaḥ kṛtāḥ
3. How were the deities made worthy of a share in the constitution (dharma) of active life? And how were those whose constitution (dharma) is renunciation made to possess withdrawn intellects?
एतं नः संशयं विप्र छिन्धि गुह्यं सनातनम् ।
त्वया नारायणकथा श्रुता वै धर्मसंहिता ॥४॥
4. etaṁ naḥ saṁśayaṁ vipra chindhi guhyaṁ sanātanam ,
tvayā nārāyaṇakathā śrutā vai dharmasaṁhitā.
4. etam naḥ saṃśayam vipra chindhi guhyam sanātanam
tvayā nārāyaṇakathā śrutā vai dharmasaṃhitā
4. vipra etam guhyam sanātanam naḥ saṃśayam chindhi
tvayā dharmasaṃhitā nārāyaṇakathā vai śrutā
4. O Brāhmaṇa, dispel this profound and eternal doubt of ours. For indeed, the narrative of Narāyaṇa, which embodies righteousness (dharma), has been heard by you.
इमे सब्रह्मका लोकाः ससुरासुरमानवाः ।
क्रियास्वभ्युदयोक्तासु सक्ता दृश्यन्ति सर्वशः ।
मोक्षश्चोक्तस्त्वया ब्रह्मन्निर्वाणं परमं सुखम् ॥५॥
5. ime sabrahmakā lokāḥ sasurāsuramānavāḥ ,
kriyāsvabhyudayoktāsu saktā dṛśyanti sarvaśaḥ ,
mokṣaścoktastvayā brahmannirvāṇaṁ paramaṁ sukham.
5. ime sabrahmakāḥ lokāḥ sasurāsuramānavāḥ
kriyāsu abhyudayoktāsu saktāḥ
dṛśyanti sarvaśaḥ mokṣaḥ ca uktaḥ
tvayā brahman nirvāṇam paramam sukham
5. brahman ime sabrahmakāḥ sasurāsuramānavāḥ
lokāḥ sarvaśaḥ abhyudayoktāsu
kriyāsu saktāḥ dṛśyanti ca mokṣaḥ
nirvāṇam paramam sukham tvayā uktaḥ
5. These worlds, along with Brahmā, the gods, demons, and humans, are seen everywhere to be attached to actions prescribed for prosperity. And liberation (mokṣa), which is the supreme happiness of (nirvāṇa), was declared by you, O Brāhmaṇa.
ये च मुक्ता भवन्तीह पुण्यपापविवर्जिताः ।
ते सहस्रार्चिषं देवं प्रविशन्तीति शुश्रुमः ॥६॥
6. ye ca muktā bhavantīha puṇyapāpavivarjitāḥ ,
te sahasrārciṣaṁ devaṁ praviśantīti śuśrumaḥ.
6. ye ca muktāḥ bhavanti iha puṇyapāpavivarjitāḥ
te sahasrārcisam devam praviśanti iti śuśrumaḥ
6. ca ye iha puṇyapāpavivarjitāḥ muktāḥ bhavanti
te sahasrārcisam devam praviśanti iti śuśrumaḥ
6. And those who become liberated (mukta) here, free from both merit (puṇya) and demerit (pāpa), they enter the thousand-rayed sun god. This is what we have heard.
अहो हि दुरनुष्ठेयो मोक्षधर्मः सनातनः ।
यं हित्वा देवताः सर्वा हव्यकव्यभुजोऽभवन् ॥७॥
7. aho hi duranuṣṭheyo mokṣadharmaḥ sanātanaḥ ,
yaṁ hitvā devatāḥ sarvā havyakavyabhujo'bhavan.
7. aho hi duranuṣṭheyaḥ mokṣadharmaḥ sanātanaḥ yam
hitvā devatāḥ sarvāḥ havyakavyabhujaḥ abhavan
7. aho hi sanātanaḥ mokṣadharmaḥ duranuṣṭheyaḥ yam
hitvā sarvāḥ devatāḥ havyakavyabhujaḥ abhavan
7. Oh, indeed, the eternal path (dharma) to liberation (mokṣa) is difficult to follow! Because they abandoned this path, all the deities became recipients of offerings for both gods and ancestors.
किं नु ब्रह्मा च रुद्रश्च शक्रश्च बलभित्प्रभुः ।
सूर्यस्ताराधिपो वायुरग्निर्वरुण एव च ।
आकाशं जगती चैव ये च शेषा दिवौकसः ॥८॥
8. kiṁ nu brahmā ca rudraśca śakraśca balabhitprabhuḥ ,
sūryastārādhipo vāyuragnirvaruṇa eva ca ,
ākāśaṁ jagatī caiva ye ca śeṣā divaukasaḥ.
8. kim nu brahmā ca rudraḥ ca śakraḥ ca
balabhitprabhuḥ sūryaḥ tārādhipaḥ
vāyuḥ agniḥ varuṇaḥ eva ca ākāśam
jagatī ca eva ye ca śeṣāḥ divaukasaḥ
8. kim nu brahmā ca rudraḥ ca śakraḥ
balabhitprabhuḥ ca sūryaḥ tārādhipaḥ
vāyuḥ agniḥ varuṇaḥ eva ca ākāśam
jagatī ca eva ye ca śeṣāḥ divaukasaḥ
8. What then of Brahmā, Rudra, and Śakra, the lord and slayer of Bala? What of Sūrya, the Moon (lord of stars), Vāyu, Agni, and Varuṇa himself? And what of the sky, the earth, and all the other remaining dwellers of heaven (divaukasas)?
प्रलयं न विजानन्ति आत्मनः परिनिर्मितम् ।
ततस्ते नास्थिता मार्गं ध्रुवमक्षयमव्ययम् ॥९॥
9. pralayaṁ na vijānanti ātmanaḥ parinirmitam ,
tataste nāsthitā mārgaṁ dhruvamakṣayamavyayam.
9. pralayam na vijānanti ātmanaḥ parinirmitam tataḥ
te na āsthitāḥ mārgam dhruvam akṣayam avyayam
9. ātmanaḥ parinirmitam pralayam na vijānanti tataḥ
te dhruvam akṣayam avyayam mārgam na āsthitāḥ
9. They do not comprehend the dissolution (pralaya) ordained for their own selves (ātman). Therefore, they have not established themselves on the firm, imperishable, unchanging path.
स्मृत्वा कालपरीमाणं प्रवृत्तिं ये समास्थिताः ।
दोषः कालपरीमाणे महानेष क्रियावताम् ॥१०॥
10. smṛtvā kālaparīmāṇaṁ pravṛttiṁ ye samāsthitāḥ ,
doṣaḥ kālaparīmāṇe mahāneṣa kriyāvatām.
10. smṛtvā kālaparīmāṇam pravṛttim ye samāsthitāḥ
doṣaḥ kālaparīmāṇe mahān eṣaḥ kriyāvatām
10. ye kālaparīmāṇam smṛtvā pravṛttim samāsthitāḥ
eṣaḥ mahān doṣaḥ kālaparīmāṇe kriyāvatām
10. Those who, remembering the limit of time, are established in worldly activities (pravṛtti) - this is a great fault in the calculation of time for active individuals.
एतन्मे संशयं विप्र हृदि शल्यमिवार्पितम् ।
छिन्धीतिहासकथनात्परं कौतूहलं हि मे ॥११॥
11. etanme saṁśayaṁ vipra hṛdi śalyamivārpitam ,
chindhītihāsakathanātparaṁ kautūhalaṁ hi me.
11. etat me saṃśayam vipra hṛdi śalyam iva arpitam
chindhi itihāsakathanaāt param kautūhalam hi me
11. vipra! me hṛdi śalyam iva arpitam etat saṃśayam chindhi.
hi me kautūhalam itihāsakathanaāt param.
11. O brahmin, this doubt, like a dart lodged in my heart, please dispel it. Indeed, my curiosity extends beyond mere historical narratives.
कथं भागहराः प्रोक्ता देवताः क्रतुषु द्विज ।
किमर्थं चाध्वरे ब्रह्मन्निज्यन्ते त्रिदिवौकसः ॥१२॥
12. kathaṁ bhāgaharāḥ proktā devatāḥ kratuṣu dvija ,
kimarthaṁ cādhvare brahmannijyante tridivaukasaḥ.
12. katham bhāgaharāḥ proktāḥ devatāḥ kratuṣu dvija
kimartham ca adhvare brahman ijyante tridivaukasaḥ
12. dvija! kratuṣu devatāḥ katham bhāgaharāḥ proktāḥ?
brahman! ca kimartham adhvare tridivaukasaḥ ijyante?
12. O twice-born (dvija), how are the deities said to be recipients of shares in the Vedic rituals (kratu)? And for what reason, O brahmin, are the celestial beings worshipped in the Vedic fire ceremony (adhvara)?
ये च भागं प्रगृह्णन्ति यज्ञेषु द्विजसत्तम ।
ते यजन्तो महायज्ञैः कस्य भागं ददन्ति वै ॥१३॥
13. ye ca bhāgaṁ pragṛhṇanti yajñeṣu dvijasattama ,
te yajanto mahāyajñaiḥ kasya bhāgaṁ dadanti vai.
13. ye ca bhāgam pragṛhṇanti yajñeṣu dvijasattama te
yajantaḥ mahāyajñaiḥ kasya bhāgam dadanti vai
13. dvijasattama! ye yajñeṣu bhāgam pragṛhṇanti,
te mahāyajñaiḥ yajantaḥ vai kasya bhāgam dadanti?
13. And those who accept a share in the Vedic rituals (yajña), O best among the twice-born (dvijasattama), to whom do they, performing great Vedic rituals (mahāyajña), in turn offer a share?
वैशंपायन उवाच ।
अहो गूढतमः प्रश्नस्त्वया पृष्टो जनेश्वर ।
नातप्ततपसा ह्येष नावेदविदुषा तथा ।
नापुराणविदा चापि शक्यो व्याहर्तुमञ्जसा ॥१४॥
14. vaiśaṁpāyana uvāca ,
aho gūḍhatamaḥ praśnastvayā pṛṣṭo janeśvara ,
nātaptatapasā hyeṣa nāvedaviduṣā tathā ,
nāpurāṇavidā cāpi śakyo vyāhartumañjasā.
14. Vaiśampāyana uvāca aho gūḍhatamaḥ praśnaḥ
tvayā pṛṣṭaḥ janeśvara na ataptatapasā
hi eṣaḥ na avedaviduṣā tathā na
apurāṇavidā ca api śakyaḥ vyāhartum añjasā
14. Vaiśampāyana uvāca.
janeśvara! aho tvayā gūḍhatamaḥ praśnaḥ pṛṣṭaḥ.
hi eṣaḥ ataptatapasā na śakyaḥ vyāhartum.
tathā avedaviduṣā na.
ca api apurāṇavidā na añjasā śakyaḥ vyāhartum.
14. Vaiśampāyana said: "Oh, lord of men, you have indeed asked a most profound question! This (matter) cannot truly be explained by one who has not performed severe penance (tapas), nor by one unacquainted with the Vedas, nor by one unfamiliar with the Purāṇas."
हन्त ते कथयिष्यामि यन्मे पृष्टः पुरा गुरुः ।
कृष्णद्वैपायनो व्यासो वेदव्यासो महानृषिः ॥१५॥
15. hanta te kathayiṣyāmi yanme pṛṣṭaḥ purā guruḥ ,
kṛṣṇadvaipāyano vyāso vedavyāso mahānṛṣiḥ.
15. hanta te kathayiṣyāmi yat me pṛṣṭaḥ purā guruḥ
kṛṣṇadvaipāyanaḥ vyāsaḥ vedavyāsaḥ mahān ṛṣiḥ
15. hanta te kathayiṣyāmi yat purā me guruḥ
kṛṣṇadvaipāyanaḥ vyāsaḥ vedavyāsaḥ mahān ṛṣiḥ pṛṣṭaḥ
15. Indeed, I will tell you what my teacher (guru), the great sage Krishna Dvaipayana Vyasa, also known as Vedavyasa, was asked by me previously.
सुमन्तुर्जैमिनिश्चैव पैलश्च सुदृढव्रतः ।
अहं चतुर्थः शिष्यो वै पञ्चमश्च शुकः स्मृतः ॥१६॥
16. sumanturjaiminiścaiva pailaśca sudṛḍhavrataḥ ,
ahaṁ caturthaḥ śiṣyo vai pañcamaśca śukaḥ smṛtaḥ.
16. sumantuḥ jaiminiḥ ca eva pailaḥ ca sudṛḍhavrataḥ

16. sumantuḥ jaiminiḥ ca eva pailaḥ ca sudṛḍhavrataḥ
aham vai caturthaḥ śiṣyaḥ śukaḥ ca pañcamaḥ smṛtaḥ
16. Sumantu, Jaimini, and Paila, who was firmly resolute. I am the fourth student, and Shuka is considered the fifth.

17. etān sarvān pañca samāgatān śiṣyān damānvitān
śaucācārasamāyuktān jitakrodhān jitendriyān
17. All these five assembled students, endowed with self-control, possessing purity and good conduct, who had conquered anger, and mastered their senses.
वेदानध्यापयामास महाभारतपञ्चमान् ।
मेरौ गिरिवरे रम्ये सिद्धचारणसेविते ॥१८॥

merau girivare ramye siddhacāraṇasevite.
18. vedān adhyāpayāmāsa mahābhāratapañcamān
merau girivare ramye siddhacāraṇasevite
18. adhyāpayāmāsa vedān mahābhāratapañcamān
merau ramye girivare siddhacāraṇasevite
18. He taught the Vedas, with the Mahabharata as the fifth text, on the charming and excellent Mount Meru, which was frequented by Siddhas and Charanas.
तेषामभ्यस्यतां वेदान्कदाचित्संशयोऽभवत् ।
एष वै यस्त्वया पृष्टस्तेन तेषां प्रकीर्तितः ।
ततः श्रुतो मया चापि तवाख्येयोऽद्य भारत ॥१९॥
19. teṣāmabhyasyatāṁ vedānkadācitsaṁśayo'bhavat ,
eṣa vai yastvayā pṛṣṭastena teṣāṁ prakīrtitaḥ ,
tataḥ śruto mayā cāpi tavākhyeyo'dya bhārata.
19. teṣām abhyasyatām vedān kadācit saṃśayaḥ

saṃśayaḥ abhavat yaḥ tvayā pṛṣṭaḥ
eṣa vai tena teṣām prakīrtitaḥ tataḥ
mayā ca api śrutaḥ adya tava ākhyeyaḥ
19. O Bhārata, a doubt once arose among those who were studying the Vedas. Indeed, this very topic, which was asked by you, was expounded to them by him. I then heard it, and today it is to be narrated to you.
शिष्याणां वचनं श्रुत्वा सर्वाज्ञानतमोनुदः ।
पराशरसुतः श्रीमान्व्यासो वाक्यमुवाच ह ॥२०॥
20. śiṣyāṇāṁ vacanaṁ śrutvā sarvājñānatamonudaḥ ,

20. śiṣyāṇām vacanam śrutvā sarvājñānatamonudaḥ

20. śiṣyāṇām vacanam śrutvā sarvājñānatamonudaḥ
śrīmān parāśarasutaḥ vyāsaḥ ha vākyam uvāca
20. Having heard the words of his disciples, the illustrious Vyāsa, son of Parāśara, who dispels the darkness of all ignorance, indeed spoke these words.
मया हि सुमहत्तप्तं तपः परमदारुणम् ।
भूतं भव्यं भविष्यच्च जानीयामिति सत्तमाः ॥२१॥
21. mayā hi sumahattaptaṁ tapaḥ paramadāruṇam ,
bhūtaṁ bhavyaṁ bhaviṣyacca jānīyāmiti sattamāḥ.
21. mayā hi sumahattaptam tapaḥ paramadāruṇam bhūtam
bhavyam bhaviṣyat ca jānīyām iti sattamāḥ
21. sattamāḥ hi mayā sumahattaptam paramadāruṇam
tapaḥ iti bhūtam bhavyam ca bhaviṣyat jānīyām
21. O excellent ones, indeed, I performed a very great and extremely severe austerity (tapas) with the thought, 'May I know the past, the present, and the future.'
तस्य मे तप्ततपसो निगृहीतेन्द्रियस्य च ।
नारायणप्रसादेन क्षीरोदस्यानुकूलतः ॥२२॥
22. tasya me taptatapaso nigṛhītendriyasya ca ,
nārāyaṇaprasādena kṣīrodasyānukūlataḥ.
22. tasya me taptatapasaḥ nigṛhītendriyasya ca
nārāyaṇaprasādena kṣīrodasya anukūlataḥ
22. nārāyaṇaprasādena ca kṣīrodasya anukūlataḥ
tasya me taptatapasaḥ nigṛhītendriyasya
22. By the grace of Nārāyaṇa and the favor of the milk ocean, for me, who had performed austerity (tapas) and whose senses were restrained...
त्रैकालिकमिदं ज्ञानं प्रादुर्भूतं यथेप्सितम् ।
तच्छृणुध्वं यथाज्ञानं वक्ष्ये संशयमुत्तमम् ।
यथा वृत्तं हि कल्पादौ दृष्टं मे ज्ञानचक्षुषा ॥२३॥
23. traikālikamidaṁ jñānaṁ prādurbhūtaṁ yathepsitam ,
tacchṛṇudhvaṁ yathājñānaṁ vakṣye saṁśayamuttamam ,
yathā vṛttaṁ hi kalpādau dṛṣṭaṁ me jñānacakṣuṣā.
23. traikālikam idam jñānam prādurbhūtam
yathā īpsitam tat śṛṇudhvam yathājñānam
vakṣye saṃśayam uttamam yathā vṛttam
hi kalpādau dṛṣṭam me jñānacakṣuṣā
23. idam traikālikam jñānam yathā īpsitam prādurbhūtam,
tat śṛṇudhvam,
yathājñānam uttamam saṃśayam vakṣye,
hi yathā vṛttam kalpādau me jñānacakṣuṣā dṛṣṭam
23. This knowledge, encompassing all three periods of time (past, present, and future), has manifested as desired. Listen to it! I will explain this profound subject as I understand it, exactly as it occurred at the beginning of the cosmic age (kalpa), seen by me through the eye of spiritual insight (jñānacakṣus).
परमात्मेति यं प्राहुः सांख्ययोगविदो जनाः ।
महापुरुषसंज्ञां स लभते स्वेन कर्मणा ॥२४॥
24. paramātmeti yaṁ prāhuḥ sāṁkhyayogavido janāḥ ,

24. paramātmā iti yam prāhuḥ sāṃkhyayogavidaḥ janāḥ
mahāpuruṣasaṃjñām saḥ labhate svena karmaṇā
24. sāṃkhyayogavidaḥ janāḥ yam paramātmā iti prāhuḥ,
saḥ svena karmaṇā mahāpuruṣasaṃjñām labhate
24. Whom the adherents of Sāṃkhya and Yoga systems refer to as the supreme self (paramātman), that one attains the appellation of the Great Person (mahāpuruṣa) through his own deeds (karma).
तस्मात्प्रसूतमव्यक्तं प्रधानं तद्विदुर्बुधाः ।
अव्यक्ताद्व्यक्तमुत्पन्नं लोकसृष्ट्यर्थमीश्वरात् ॥२५॥
25. tasmātprasūtamavyaktaṁ pradhānaṁ tadvidurbudhāḥ ,
avyaktādvyaktamutpannaṁ lokasṛṣṭyarthamīśvarāt.
25. tasmāt prasūtam avyaktam pradhānam tat viduḥ budhāḥ
avyaktāt vyaktam utpannam lokasṛṣṭyartham īśvarāt
25. tasmāt avyaktam pradhānam prasūtam,
tat budhāḥ viduḥ.
avyaktāt īśvarāt lokasṛṣṭyartham vyaktam utpannam
25. From that [Supreme Being], the unmanifest (avyakta), known as the Pradhāna, is born; the wise understand this. From this unmanifest (avyakta), the manifest universe arises from Īśvara for the purpose of creating the worlds.
अनिरुद्धो हि लोकेषु महानात्मेति कथ्यते ।
योऽसौ व्यक्तत्वमापन्नो निर्ममे च पितामहम् ।
सोऽहंकार इति प्रोक्तः सर्वतेजोमयो हि सः ॥२६॥
26. aniruddho hi lokeṣu mahānātmeti kathyate ,
yo'sau vyaktatvamāpanno nirmame ca pitāmaham ,
so'haṁkāra iti proktaḥ sarvatejomayo hi saḥ.
26. aniruddhaḥ hi lokeṣu mahān ātmā iti
kathyate yaḥ asau vyaktatvam āpannaḥ
nirmame ca pitāmaham saḥ ahaṃkāraḥ
iti proktaḥ sarvatejomayaḥ hi saḥ
26. aniruddhaḥ hi lokeṣu mahān ātmā iti kathyate.
yaḥ asau vyaktatvam āpannaḥ ca pitāmaham nirmame,
saḥ ahaṃkāraḥ iti proktaḥ,
hi saḥ sarvatejomayaḥ
26. Aniruddha is indeed known in the worlds as the Great Self (mahān ātman). He who attained manifestation and created the grandfather [Brahmā], he is declared to be ego (ahaṃkāra), for he is indeed full of all splendor.
पृथिवी वायुराकाशमापो ज्योतिश्च पञ्चमम् ।
अहंकारप्रसूतानि महाभूतानि भारत ॥२७॥
27. pṛthivī vāyurākāśamāpo jyotiśca pañcamam ,
ahaṁkāraprasūtāni mahābhūtāni bhārata.
27. pṛthivī vāyuḥ ākāśam āpaḥ jyotiḥ ca pañcamam
ahaṅkāraprasūtāni mahābhūtāni bhārata
27. pṛthivī vāyuḥ ākāśam āpaḥ ca pañcamam jyotiḥ
ahaṅkāraprasūtāni mahābhūtāni bhārata
27. Earth, air, space, water, and fire as the fifth - these great elements are produced from the ego (ahaṅkāra), O Bhārata.
महाभूतानि सृष्ट्वाथ तद्गुणान्निर्ममे पुनः ।
भूतेभ्यश्चैव निष्पन्ना मूर्तिमन्तोऽष्ट ताञ्शृणु ॥२८॥
28. mahābhūtāni sṛṣṭvātha tadguṇānnirmame punaḥ ,
bhūtebhyaścaiva niṣpannā mūrtimanto'ṣṭa tāñśṛṇu.
28. mahābhūtāni sṛṣṭvā atha tat guṇān nirmame punaḥ
bhūtebhyaḥ ca eva niṣpannāḥ mūrtimantaḥ aṣṭa tān śṛṇu
28. atha mahābhūtāni sṛṣṭvā punaḥ tat guṇān nirmame ca
eva bhūtebhyaḥ niṣpannāḥ mūrtimantaḥ aṣṭa tān śṛṇu
28. Having created the great elements, he then again produced their qualities. Listen to those eight embodied beings which are indeed born from these elements.
मरीचिरङ्गिराश्चात्रिः पुलस्त्यः पुलहः क्रतुः ।
वसिष्ठश्च महात्मा वै मनुः स्वायंभुवस्तथा ।
ज्ञेयाः प्रकृतयोऽष्टौ ता यासु लोकाः प्रतिष्ठिताः ॥२९॥
29. marīciraṅgirāścātriḥ pulastyaḥ pulahaḥ kratuḥ ,
vasiṣṭhaśca mahātmā vai manuḥ svāyaṁbhuvastathā ,
jñeyāḥ prakṛtayo'ṣṭau tā yāsu lokāḥ pratiṣṭhitāḥ.
29. marīciḥ aṅgirāḥ ca atriḥ pulastyaḥ
pulahaḥ kratuḥ vasiṣṭhaḥ ca mahātmā vai
manuḥ svāyaṃbhuvaḥ tathā jñeyāḥ
prakṛtayaḥ aṣṭau tāḥ yāsu lokāḥ pratiṣṭhitāḥ
29. marīciḥ aṅgirāḥ ca atriḥ pulastyaḥ
pulahaḥ kratuḥ ca vasiṣṭhaḥ vai mahātmā
svāyaṃbhuvaḥ manuḥ tathā tāḥ aṣṭau
prakṛtayaḥ jñeyāḥ yāsu lokāḥ pratiṣṭhitāḥ

Higher than that (unmanifest) is this one, who is conceived as the knower of the field (kṣetrajña). That (knower of the field) I am the path for those who perform actions, a path from which return (punarāvṛtti) is difficult to achieve.

इदं कृतयुगं नाम कालः श्रेष्ठः प्रवर्तते ।
अहिंस्या यज्ञपशवो युगेऽस्मिन्नैतदन्यथा ।
चतुष्पात्सकलो धर्मो भविष्यत्यत्र वै सुराः ॥७३॥
73. idaṁ kṛtayugaṁ nāma kālaḥ śreṣṭhaḥ pravartate ,

73. idam kṛtayugam nāma śreṣṭhaḥ kālaḥ pravartate yuge asmin yajñapaśavaḥ ahiṃsyā (bhavanti),
etat anyathā na he surāḥ,
atra vai sakalaḥ catuṣpāt dharmaḥ bhaviṣyati
73. This is called the Kṛtayuga, and it is the most excellent age currently prevailing. In this age, animals for the Vedic ritual (yajña) are not to be harmed; this is not otherwise. Indeed, O gods, the complete four-fold natural law (dharma) will fully manifest here.
ततस्त्रेतायुगं नाम त्रयी यत्र भविष्यति ।
प्रोक्षिता यत्र पशवो वधं प्राप्स्यन्ति वै मखे ।
तत्र पादचतुर्थो वै धर्मस्य न भविष्यति ॥७४॥
74. tatastretāyugaṁ nāma trayī yatra bhaviṣyati ,

bhaviṣyati yatra prokṣitāḥ paśavaḥ vai
makhe vadham prāpsyanti tatra vai
dharmasya pādacaturthaḥ na bhaviṣyati
74. Thereafter will be the age named Tretāyuga, where the threefold Vedic knowledge (trayī) will be prominent. In this age, consecrated animals will indeed meet their death in the Vedic ritual (makha). At that time, one fourth of natural law (dharma) will certainly no longer exist.
ततो वै द्वापरं नाम मिश्रः कालो भविष्यति ।
द्विपादहीनो धर्मश्च युगे तस्मिन्भविष्यति ॥७५॥
75. tato vai dvāparaṁ nāma miśraḥ kālo bhaviṣyati ,

75. tataḥ vai dvāparam nāma miśraḥ kālaḥ bhaviṣyati
dvipādahīnaḥ dharmaḥ ca yuge tasmin bhaviṣyati
75. tataḥ vai dvāparam nāma miśraḥ kālaḥ bhaviṣyati
ca tasmin yuge dharmaḥ dvipādahīnaḥ bhaviṣyati
75. Thereafter, the age named Dvāpara will indeed be a mixed period. In that age, the natural law (dharma) will be diminished, existing with only two of its original four parts.
ततस्तिष्येऽथ संप्राप्ते युगे कलिपुरस्कृते ।

ekapādasthitaḥ dharmaḥ yatra tatra bhaviṣyati
76. tataḥ atha kalipuraskṛte tiṣye yuge samprāpte
dharmaḥ ekapādasthitaḥ yatra tatra bhaviṣyati
76. Thereafter, when the age of Tiṣya, characterized by the current dark age (kali), has fully arrived, the natural law (dharma) will exist, standing on only one part (or foot) here and there.
देवा ऊचुः ।
एकपादस्थिते धर्मे यत्रक्वचनगामिनि ।

77. devāḥ ūcuḥ: bhagavan,
ekapādasthite dharme yatra kvacana gāmini,
asmābhiḥ katham kartavyam? tat naḥ vadasva.
77. The gods said: 'O Lord, when the natural law (dharma) is diminished, existing on only one part and moving inconsistently from place to place, how should we act? Please tell us that!'

mā vaḥ adharmaḥ padā spṛśet.
78. The Blessed Lord said: 'O best of gods, the place where the Vedas, and Vedic rituals (yajña), and spiritual discipline (tapas), truth, and self-control, are practiced, all imbued with non-violence and the natural law (dharma) - that very place should be honored. Let not unrighteousness (adharma) even touch you with its foot!'

ekaḥ brahmā tam aniruddha-tanau sthitam bhagavantam didṛkṣuḥ pari-avasthitaḥ
80. When the dwellers of the three heavens (gods) had departed, Brahmā alone remained, desiring to see that Lord (Bhagavān) who was situated in the form (tanu) of Aniruddha.

kamaṇḍalu-gaṇitra-dhṛk [san]
81. That deity (Bhagavān) revealed himself to him (Brahmā), having assumed a great horse-head, reciting the Vedas along with their auxiliary sciences (aṅgas), holding a water-pot (kamaṇḍalu) and a rosary.
ततोऽश्वशिरसं दृष्ट्वा तं देवममितौजसम् ।

loka-kartā prabhuḥ brahmā,
amita-ojasam tam aśva-śirasam devam dṛṣṭvā,

saḥ pariṣvajya devena vacanaṃ śrāvitaḥ tadā
83. Bowing with his head to the giver of boons, he stood before him with folded hands. Then, embraced by the deity, he was made to hear his words.
लोककार्यगतीः सर्वास्त्वं चिन्तय यथाविधि ।

anuśiṣṭaḥ brahmā api svaṃ lokaṃ acirāt gataḥ
86. Having thus spoken, Hayaśiras disappeared at that very spot. Brahmā (brahman), having been instructed by him, also swiftly returned to his own realm.
