2. The Blessed Lord said: 'Indeed, I will narrate to you, O son of Pāṇḍu, an ancient tale born from my own splendor (ātman). O Pārtha, listen to it from me with a concentrated mind.'

3. When the time of universal washing (samprakṣālana) has passed at the end of four thousand yugas, during the unmanifest dissolution of all beings, when the world consisting of stationary and moving things is devoid of light, earth, and wind, and is established in blind darkness as a single vast ocean of water, thoroughly overcome by darkness alone, devoid of consciousness, and non-dual, when there is neither night nor day, neither existent nor non-existent, neither manifest nor unmanifest - in this state, from that eternal, unchanging, unmanifest darkness which is the refuge of the qualities of Nārāyaṇa, which is imperishable, ageless, beyond the senses, incomprehensible, unoriginating, true, harmless, pre-eminent, endowed with diverse special activities, imperishable, ageless and immortal, formless, all-pervading, the maker of all, and eternal, the imperishable divine person (puruṣa) Hari manifested.

4. Here, indeed, there is also an illustration - there was no day, nor was there night; there was no existent, nor was there non-existent. Darkness alone existed beforehand in a universal form. Thus, its meaning is explained accordingly, stating that darkness is the mother of the universe.

5. Upon the manifestation of that primeval person (puruṣa), who emerged from darkness and is known as Brahmā, the lotus-born, that same being, desiring to create progeny, emitted Agni and Soma from his two eyes. Then, when the creation of living beings began, according to the order of succession of creatures, brahmakṣatra arose. What is Soma is brahman, and what is brahman - those are the brahmins. What is Agni is kṣatra, and brahman is stronger than kṣatra. Why is this so? Because this quality is directly observable in the world, and furthermore, no higher being than the brahmins has ever been produced before. Knowing this, and acting on the precept that one makes an offering into a blazing fire, I declare that after Brahmā created the realm of beings and established all creatures, the three worlds are sustained.

6. Indeed, there is also this mantra testimony: 'O Agni, you are the hotā priest of all yajñas, established among divine beings and the human race.' And there is this illustration: 'O Agni, hotā of all yajñas, established by the gods and humans in the world.' For Agni is indeed the hotā and the performer of yajñas, and that Agni is brahman.

7. Indeed, there is no oblation without a mantra. Nor is asceticism (tapas) possible without an individual (puruṣa). Oblations and mantras constitute the worship for gods and humans. By this very principle, you are appointed as a hotṛ priest. And this also applies to those humans who are qualified for the office of hotṛ. Indeed, the performance of Vedic rituals (yajanas) is prescribed for a brahmin, not for kshatriyas or vaishyas, even though they are twice-born. Therefore, brahmins, embodying fire, carry out the Vedic rituals (yajñas). These Vedic rituals (yajñas) satisfy the gods, and the gods sustain the earth.

8. Indeed, it is stated in the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa: 'When the fire is kindled, he offers oblations, he who, being learned, offers a gift-oblation (dānāhuti) through the mouth of a brahmin.' In this way, learned brahmins, embodying fire, also sustain the fire (Agni). Agni (fire) is Viṣṇu, who, having entered into all beings, sustains their life-breaths (prāṇas). And here are also verses (ślokas) from the Sanatkumāra Gītā.
विश्वं ब्रह्मासृजत्पूर्वं सर्वादिर्निरवस्करम् ।
ब्रह्मघोषैर्दिवं तिष्ठन्त्यमरा ब्रह्मयोनयः ॥९॥

9. Brahmā first created the universe, which was primordial and free from imperfections. The immortal gods, who are born from Brahmā (brahmayonayas), reside in heaven, sustained by the reverberations of Vedic chants (brahmaghoṣas).

10. The intellect, speech, actions (karma), faith (śraddhā), and austerities (tapas) of brahmins sustain both the earth and the sky, just as cool water preserves life (amṛta).

11. There is no higher natural law (dharma) than truth; there is no teacher (guru) equal to a mother. There is nothing superior to Brahmins for prosperity and well-being, both in this world and after death.

12. Their bulls do not grow, nor do their beasts of burden, nor is the churning vessel churned for offerings, in the kingdom where Brahmins are deprived of livelihood. Such people become ruined and like robbers.

13. According to the authority of the Vedas, Purāṇas, and Itihāsas, Brahmins emanated from Nārāyaṇa's mouth, possessing all souls, being the creators of all, and the producers of all. Indeed, simultaneously with the word of that boon-bestowing deity, Brahmins first manifested, and from the Brahmins, the remaining social classes (varṇas) manifested. Thus, when I, having become (brahman), created the Brahmins myself in ancient times, the specific beings like gods, demons, and great sages were established and also controlled.

14. Indeed, on account of the defilement of Ahalyā, Indra received the curse of green whiskers from Gautama. And on account of Kaushika, Indra obtained emasculation and the state of having ram's testicles. The arm of Purandara (Indra), who had raised his thunderbolt to prevent the Soma offering to the two Aśvins, was paralyzed by Cyavana. And by Dakṣa, whose wrath was aroused by the destruction of his Vedic ritual (kratu-vadha), having further united himself (ātman) with asceticism (tapas), another eye-shaped form was produced on Rudra's forehead.

15. During Rudra's (Rudra's) undertaking of a vow (dīkṣā) for the destruction of Tripura, Uśanas cut off the matted locks from his head and employed them. From these, snakes (bhujaga) emerged. Being tormented by these snakes, his throat turned blue. Alternatively, in the previous Svāyambhuva manvantara, his throat became blue (nīlakaṇṭhatva) due to Nārāyaṇa seizing his bound hands.

16. It is said that when Aṅgiras Bṛhaspati, who had undertaken a preparatory ritual (puraścaraṇa) for the production of ambrosia, touched the waters, they did not become clear. Thereupon, Bṛhaspati became angry with the waters. He cursed, "Since you became turbid and did not become clear when I touched you, therefore, from today onwards, be turbid and infested with fish, crocodiles, other fish, turtles, and aquatic creatures!" From that time onwards, the waters became teeming with aquatic animals.

17. Viśvarūpa, the son of Tvaṣṭā, was indeed the priest (purohita) of the devas, and also the nephew of the asuras. He directly gave a share to the devas, and secretly to the asuras.

atha asurāḥ hiraṇyakaśipum puraskṛtya viśvarūpa-mātaram svasāram varam ayācanta (ūcuḥ:) "he svasar,

18. Then, with Hiraṇyakaśipu at their head, the asuras asked for a boon from Viśvarūpa's mother, who was their sister. They said: "Oh sister, your son Viśvarūpa, son of Tvaṣṭā, who has three heads, is the priest (purohita) of the devas. He gives a share directly to the devas and secretly to us. Consequently, the devas are prospering while we are declining. Therefore, you should prevent him (from doing this) so that he may favor us."

19. Then, as Viśvarūpa approached the celestial garden Nandanavana, his mother said: "Son, why are you strengthening the side of the enemy, thus destroying your maternal uncle's side? You ought not to do such a thing." Considering his mother's words to be unchallengeable, that Viśvarūpa, having honored her, went to Hiraṇyakaśipu.

20. From Vasiṣṭha, the descendant of Brahmā (Hairaṇyagarbha), Hiraṇyakaśipu received a curse: "Because another officiating priest (hotā) was chosen by you, therefore you, with an unfinished Vedic ritual (yajña), will obtain death from an unprecedented being." Due to the pronouncement of that curse, Hiraṇyakaśipu met his death.

21. Viśvarūpa, strengthening his mother's side, engaged in intense austerities (tapas). To break his vow, Indra deployed many beautiful celestial nymphs (apsarās). Seeing them, his mind became agitated, and he very quickly became attached to those apsarās. Knowing him to be attached, the apsarās said, "We shall go back the way we came."

22. Tvaṣṭā's son (Viśvarūpa) said to them: "Where will you go? Stay here with me for a while; it will be beneficial for you." They said to him: "We are celestial women, apsarās. We chose Indra, the boon-giver, who was powerful in the past."

23. Then Viśvarūpa said to them: Today indeed the gods, along with Indra, shall cease to exist. Thereupon, he muttered mantras. By those mantras, the three-headed one grew in power. With one mouth, he drank the well-offered soma from the yajñas performed by brahmins who followed ritual injunctions across all the worlds; with another, he drank the waters; and with yet another, he drank the gods led by Indra. Then Indra, seeing him growing continuously and having all his limbs nourished by the drinking of soma, became filled with anxiety.

24. The gods, along with Indra, approached Brahmā and said: By Viśvarūpa, the soma well-offered in all yajñas is being drunk. We have become devoid of our shares. The side of the asuras is growing, while we are declining. Therefore, you ought to bring about that which is ultimately beneficial for us.

26. The gods, along with Indra, went to the place where the revered sage Dadhīca was performing austerities. Approaching him, the gods said, O blessed one, is your spiritual practice proceeding well and without obstacles? Dadhīca welcomed them and said, Welcome to you, what shall be done? I will do whatever you ask. They said to him, You ought to give up your body for the welfare of the world. Then Dadhīca, undisturbed, viewing happiness and sorrow with equanimity, and being a great yogi, absorbed his mind within himself and abandoned his body.

27. When Viśvarūpa's supreme self (paramātman) departed, Dhātā collected his bones and fashioned a thunderbolt (vajra). With that thunderbolt, which was unbreakable, unassailable, born from the bones of a brahmin, and imbued with the power of Viṣṇu, Indra struck Viśvarūpa. He also cut off his heads. Immediately thereafter, Indra killed Vṛtra, the enemy specifically produced by Tvaṣṭā, who had arisen from the churning of Viśvarūpa's body.

28. When that sin of brahmin-killing became twofold, Indra, out of fear, abandoned the kingship of the gods. He resorted to a cool lotus flower, born in water and located in the Manasarovar lake. There, by the power of his lordly dominion, he became as small as an atom and entered the fibrous knot of the lotus.

29. Then, when the lord of the three worlds (trailokyanātha), Indra, the husband of Śacī, had vanished due to fear of brahmin-killing, the world became without a ruler. The qualities of passion (rajas) and inertia entered the gods. The mantras of the great sages ceased to be effective. Rākṣasas appeared, and the Vedic knowledge (brahman) went to destruction. The worlds, deprived of Indra and powerless, became extremely vulnerable.

30. Then, the gods and sages (ṛṣis) anointed Nahuṣa, the son of Āyu, to the kingship of the gods. Nahuṣa, with five hundred lights blazing on his forehead, which eclipsed all other brilliance, ruled the three worlds. Subsequently, the worlds returned to their natural state (prakṛti) and became tranquil.

31. Thereupon Nahuṣa said: All that was enjoyed by Śakra is now at my disposal, except for Śacī. Having spoken thus, he went to the presence of Śacī and said to her: O fortunate one, I am the lord of the gods (indra), therefore devote yourself to me. Śacī replied to him: By your very nature you are devoted to righteousness (dharma), and you are born in the lunar dynasty (soma-vaṃśa), therefore you ought not to commit the outrage of violating another man wife.

32. Then Nahuṣa said to her: I now occupy the position of Indra. I am the taker of Indra's royal jewels, therefore there is no sin in this whatsoever, and you are the wife of Indra. She replied to him: I have a certain vow that is not yet completed, and within a few days, at its concluding bath (avabhṛtha), I will come to you. Hearing these words from Śacī, Nahuṣa departed.

33. Then Śacī, afflicted with sorrow and grief, longing to see her husband, and seized with fear of Nahuṣa, approached Bṛhaspati. Seeing her arrived, Bṛhaspati entered into meditation and, knowing her to be entirely devoted to the welfare of her husband, said to her: Endowed with this very vow and spiritual practice, invoke the goddess Upaśruti, the bestower of boons, and she will reveal Indra to you.

34. She, abiding by a great vow, invoked the bestower of boons, the goddess Upaśruti, with mantras. That Upaśruti went to the presence of Śacī and said to her: Here I am, summoned and present by you, what shall I do that is pleasing to you? Bowing to her with her head, Śacī said: O revered goddess, you deserve to show me my husband, for you are considered truthful. She led her to the Manasarovar lake and there showed her Indra, who had entered the fibrous knot of the lotus.

35. Seeing his emaciated and distressed wife, Indra became worried. "Oh, a great sorrow has befallen me today! For she, afflicted by sorrow, has come seeking me who was lost," he thought. Indra asked her, "How are you faring?" She replied to him, "Nahuṣa is calling me, and I have set a time limit for him."

36. Indra said to her, "Go! Nahuṣa is to be told by you, 'You must carry yourself, having ascended, in an unprecedented chariot drawn by great sages (maharṣi). Indeed, many great vehicles dear to the mind have been ascended by me; you should approach with something else.'" Having been thus instructed, she joyfully departed. Indra, too, once again entered the lotus-stalk.

37. Then, seeing Indrāṇī approaching, Nahuṣa said, "That time is fulfilled." Śacī told him what had been spoken by Śakra. He, having ascended the vehicle drawn by great sages (maharṣi), approached Śacī.

38. Then Maitrāvaruṇi, Agastya of jar-birth, saw those great sages (maharṣi) being tormented by Nahuṣa. And he (Agastya) was touched by Nahuṣa with his feet. Thereupon, he (Agastya) said to Nahuṣa, "O evil one, engaged in improper action, fall to the earth! Become a serpent for as long as the earth and mountains endure!" At the very same moment as the great sage's (maharṣi) pronouncement, he fell from that vehicle.

39. Then, the three worlds became once again without an Indra. Thereupon, the gods (devas) and sages (ṛṣis) approached the revered (Bhagavanta) Viṣṇu for refuge, on behalf of Indra. And they said to Him, "O Lord, you ought to protect Indra, who is afflicted by the sin of brahmin-slaughter (brahmavadhya)." Then, that giver of boons (Viṣṇu) told them, "Let Śakra (Indra) perform a Vaiṣṇava aśvamedha (Vedic ritual)." He added, "Then he will regain his own position."

40. Then, when the gods (devas) and sages (ṛṣis) did not find Indra, they said to Śacī, "Go, fortunate lady, and bring Indra!" She, in turn, went back to that lake. And Indra, rising from that lake, approached Bṛhaspati. Bṛhaspati then prepared the great Vedic ritual (mahākratu) of the aśvamedha for Śakra (Indra). Thereupon, consecrating a black antelope-colored pure horse and making that very horse his vehicle, Bṛhaspati brought Indra, the lord of the Maruts, back to his own abode.

41. Then, that king of the gods (devarāṭ), being praised by the gods (devas) and sages (ṛṣis), became free from blemish (niṣkalmaṣa) and established in heaven (Triviṣṭapa). He then divided the sin of brahmin-slaughter (brahmavadhya) into four places: women, fire, plants (vanaspati), and cows. Thus, Indra, empowered by the efficacy of brahminical spiritual power (brahmatejas), having slain his enemy, was reinstated in his own position.

42. And formerly, the great sage (maharṣi) Bharadvāja, having arrived at the celestial Ganges (ākāśagaṅgā), while performing ablutions, was approached by Viṣṇu, who was traversing his three strides. That (Viṣṇu), struck on the chest by Bharadvāja with a hand holding water, became one with an auspicious mark on his chest.

44. Aditi cooked food for the gods, thinking that after eating it she would slay the asuras. At that time, Budha arrived upon the completion of his vow observance and said to Aditi: Give me alms. Aditi did not give him alms, saying that previously this food was to be consumed by the gods and by no one else. Then, angered by the refusal of alms and having become one with the absolute (brahma-bhūta), the sage Budha caused the destruction of the egg of Aditi's offspring, known as Aṇḍa, in the second birth of Vivasvat. That Mārtaṇḍa became Vivasvat, the lord of the dead (śrāddha-deva).

45. Daksha indeed had sixty daughters. Of them, he gave thirteen to Kashyapa, ten to Dharma, ten to Manu, and twenty-seven to Indu (the Moon). While all of them had attained the designation of constellations equally, the Moon bestowed greater affection upon Rohini. Thereupon, those remaining wives, being full of jealousy, went to the presence of their father and reported this matter, saying: O revered one, while we are equal in radiance, the Moon favors Rohini more. He (Daksha) replied: Consumption (yakṣman) will afflict him.

46. Afflicted by the curse of Daksha, consumption (yakṣman) entered king Soma (the Moon). He, being seized by consumption, went to Daksha. And Daksha said to him, You are not behaving equally. Thereupon, the seers said to Soma, You are wasting away by consumption. In the western direction, in the ocean, is the sacred water place (tīrtha) called Hiraṇyasaras. Go there and bathe yourself. Then Soma went to that Hiraṇyasaras. Having gone there, he performed his ablution, and after bathing, he freed himself from sin. And because Soma shone brightly there in that sacred water place (tīrtha), ever since then that tīrtha became known by the name Prabhāsa. Because of that curse, even today Soma wanes when he is positioned between the new moon. Resplendent only on the night of the full moon, he reveals his body veiled by a streak of clouds. He assumed a color resembling a cloud, and that mark of a hare upon him became spotless.

47. The great sage Sthūlaśirā performed severe tapas in the northeastern direction of Mount Meru. As he was practicing tapas, a pure breeze carrying all sorts of fragrances blew and touched his body. Worn out by the tapas and thinned down, his body was refreshed by the breeze, bringing deep contentment to his heart. Because the trees did not instantly display the beauty of their flowers to him while he was experiencing such delight from the wind-fan, he cursed them, saying that they would not bear flowers at all times.

48. In ancient times, Nārāyaṇa became a great sage named Vaḍavāmukha for the welfare of the world. While he was performing tapas on Mount Meru, the ocean was summoned by him but did not come. Angered by this, the sage made the ocean still-watered with the heat of his own body, and its saline nature was produced, resembling the oozing of sweat. He also said to the ocean: You shall be undrinkable, and this water of yours, when consumed by the one known as Vaḍavāmukha, will become sweet. Even today, that ocean water is drunk by the following one known as Vaḍavāmukha.

49. Rudra desired Umā, the daughter of the Himavat mountain. And the great sage (maharṣi) Bhṛgu also went to Himavat and said: Give me your daughter Umā. Himavat replied to him: Rudra is the desired groom. Then Bhṛgu said to him: Because you have rejected me when I came with the intention of asking for the maiden, therefore you shall not be a vessel for jewels. From this day onward, this pronouncement of the seer remains standing.
