61. devaḥ tasya sahasram kratusaṃmitān putrān adadat.
Kṛṣṇa,
yogeśvaram devagītam vettha,
na saṃśayaḥ.
61. The god gave him a thousand sons, each comparable in quality to (Kratu's) resolve. O Krishna, you know the Lord of spiritual discipline (yoga), praised by the gods; there is no doubt.
वालखिल्या मघवता अवज्ञाताः पुरा किल ।

62. vālakhilyā maghavatā avajñātāḥ purā kila ,

62. vālakhilyāḥ maghavatā avajñātāḥ purā kila | taiḥ

62. purā kila maghavatā vālakhilyāḥ avajñātāḥ.
taiḥ kruddhaiḥ bhagavān rudraḥ tapasā hi toṣitaḥ abhūt.
62. Indeed, in ancient times, the Valakhilyas were disrespected by Indra. Those enraged (sages) indeed pleased the glorious Lord Rudra through their austerity (tapas).
तांश्चापि दैवतश्रेष्ठः प्राह प्रीतो जगत्पतिः ।

63. tān ca api daivataśreṣṭhaḥ prāha prītaḥ jagatpatiḥ

63. ca api,
daivataśreṣṭhaḥ jagatpatiḥ prītaḥ tān prāha: "tapasā suparṇam somahartāram utpādayiṣyatha".
63. And to them, the Lord of the world, the chief of gods, being pleased, declared: 'Through your austerity (tapas), you shall produce Suparna (Garuda), the stealer of Soma.'
महादेवस्य रोषाच्च आपो नष्टाः पुराभवन् ।

64. mahādevasya roṣāt purā āpaḥ naṣṭāḥ abhavan ca

64. Due to the anger of Mahadeva, the waters had previously been lost. These (waters) were then made to flow again by the gods using the seven Kapalas.
अत्रेर्भार्यापि भर्तारं संत्यज्य ब्रह्मवादिनी ।

65. Atri's wife, a speaker of ultimate reality (brahman), abandoned her husband and said, "I will not, by any means, ever again be subject to that sage (muni)." Having spoken thus, she indeed went to Mahadeva for refuge.
निराहारा भयादत्रेस्त्रीणि वर्षशतान्यपि ।

66. nirāhārā bhayādatrestrīṇi varṣaśatānyapi ,

66. Out of fear of Atri, she remained without food for three hundred years, lying only on pestles, for the sake of Bhava's (Shiva's) grace.

67. devaḥ hasan tām abravīt vai tava sutaḥ bhavitā tu

67. The god, smiling, said to her: "Indeed, a son will be born to you, and he will attain the desired fame in your very own lineage, named after you."
शाकल्यः संशितात्मा वै नव वर्षशतान्यपि ।

68. śākalyaḥ saṁśitātmā vai nava varṣaśatānyapi ,

68. śākalyaḥ saṃśitātmā vai nava varṣaśatāni

68. keśava śākalyaḥ saṃśitātmā vai nava
varṣaśatāni api manoyajñena bhavam ārādhyāmāsa
68. O Keśava, the self-controlled (saṃśitātmā) Śākalya indeed worshipped Bhava for as long as nine hundred years through a mental Vedic ritual (yajña).
तं चाह भगवांस्तुष्टो ग्रन्थकारो भविष्यसि ।

69. tam ca āha bhagavān tuṣṭaḥ granthakāraḥ

69. And the satisfied Lord (Bhagavān) said to him, "My dear child, you will become a renowned author. Your fame will truly be imperishable throughout the three worlds. Moreover, may your lineage also be imperishable and adorned by great sages."
सावर्णिश्चापि विख्यात ऋषिरासीत्कृते युगे ।

70. ca api sāvarṇiḥ kṛte yuge vikhyātaḥ ṛṣiḥ āsīt
atha tena iha ṣaṣṭim varṣaśatāni tapaḥ taptam
70. And Sāvarṇi was also a renowned sage in the Kṛta yuga. He performed severe austerities (tapas) here for six thousand years.
तमाह भगवान्रुद्रः साक्षात्तुष्टोऽस्मि तेऽनघ ।

71. anagha bhagavān rudraḥ tam āha sākṣāt te tuṣṭaḥ asmi
tvaṃ granthakṛt lokavikhyātaḥ ajarāmaraḥ bhavitā asi
71. The Lord Rudra (Bhagavān) said to him, "O sinless one, I am truly pleased with you. You will become an author, renowned throughout the world, and you will be free from old age and death."
मयापि च यथा दृष्टो देवदेवः पुरा विभुः ।

72. mayāpi ca yathā dṛṣṭo devadevaḥ purā vibhuḥ ,

72. mayā api ca yathā dṛṣṭaḥ devadevaḥ purā vibhuḥ
sākṣāt paśupatiḥ tāta tat ca api śṛṇu mādhava
72. O dear Mādhava, listen also to how the all-pervading (vibhuḥ) Lord Paśupati, the God of gods, was seen by me directly in the past.
यदर्थं च महादेवः प्रयतेन मया पुरा ।

73. yat artham ca mahādevaḥ prayatena mayā purā

73. And hear also in detail for what purpose the great and exceedingly glorious god (mahādeva) was worshipped by me with great effort in the past.
यदवाप्तं च मे पूर्वं देवदेवान्महेश्वरात् ।

74. yat avāptam ca me pūrvam devadevāt maheśvarāt
tat sarvam akhilena adya kathayiṣyāmi te anagha
74. O sinless one, I shall narrate to you today in its entirety all that I obtained previously from Maheśvara, the God of gods.
पुरा कृतयुगे तात ऋषिरासीन्महायशाः ।
व्याघ्रपाद इति ख्यातो वेदवेदाङ्गपारगः ।

75. purā kṛtayuge tāta ṛṣirāsīnmahāyaśāḥ ,

vyāghrapādaḥ iti khyātaḥ
vedavedāṅgapāragaḥ tasya aham abhavam
putraḥ dhaumyaḥ ca api mama anujaḥ
75. O dear one, in the ancient Kṛta age, there was a highly renowned sage named Vyāghrapāda, who was proficient in the Vedas and their auxiliary sciences (Vedāṅgas). I was his son, and Dhaumya was my younger brother.
कस्यचित्त्वथ कालस्य धौम्येन सह माधव ।
आगच्छमाश्रमं क्रीडन्मुनीनां भावितात्मनाम् ॥७६॥
76. kasyacittvatha kālasya dhaumyena saha mādhava ,
āgacchamāśramaṁ krīḍanmunīnāṁ bhāvitātmanām.
76. kasyacit tu atha kālasya dhaumyena saha mādhava
āgaccham āśramam krīḍan munīnām bhāvitātmanām
76. Then, O Madhava, after some time, I arrived, playing along with Dhaumya, at the hermitage of the sages (muni) with purified selves (ātman).
तत्रापि च मया दृष्टा दुह्यमाना पयस्विनी ।
लक्षितं च मया क्षीरं स्वादुतो ह्यमृतोपमम् ॥७७॥
77. tatrāpi ca mayā dṛṣṭā duhyamānā payasvinī ,
lakṣitaṁ ca mayā kṣīraṁ svāduto hyamṛtopamam.
77. tatra api ca mayā dṛṣṭā duhyamānā payasvinī
lakṣitam ca mayā kṣīram svādutaḥ hi amṛtopamam
77. And there too, I saw a milch cow being milked. And I observed that the milk, by its taste, was indeed like nectar.
ततः पिष्टं समालोड्य तोयेन सह माधव ।
आवयोः क्षीरमित्येव पानार्थमुपनीयते ॥७८॥
78. tataḥ piṣṭaṁ samāloḍya toyena saha mādhava ,
āvayoḥ kṣīramityeva pānārthamupanīyate.
78. tataḥ piṣṭam samāloḍya toyena saha mādhava
āvayoḥ kṣīram iti eva pānārtham upanīyate
78. Then, O Madhava, after mixing the ground meal with water, it was served to us two for drinking, presented as 'our milk'.
अथ गव्यं पयस्तात कदाचित्प्राशितं मया ।
ततः पिष्टरसं तात न मे प्रीतिमुदावहत् ॥७९॥
79. atha gavyaṁ payastāta kadācitprāśitaṁ mayā ,
tataḥ piṣṭarasaṁ tāta na me prītimudāvahat.
79. atha gavyam payaḥ tāta kadācit prāśitam mayā
tataḥ piṣṭarasam tāta na me prītim udāvahat
79. Now, O venerable sir, once I had tasted cow's milk, then, O venerable sir, the liquid meal brought me no joy.
ततोऽहमब्रुवं बाल्याज्जननीमात्मनस्तदा ।
क्षीरोदनसमायुक्तं भोजनं च प्रयच्छ मे ॥८०॥
80. tato'hamabruvaṁ bālyājjananīmātmanastadā ,

80. tataḥ aham abruvam bālyāt jananīm ātmanaḥ tadā

80. tataḥ tadā bālyāt aham ātmanaḥ jananīm abruvam
kṣīrodanasamāyuktam bhojanam ca me prayaccha
80. Then, as a child, I said to my mother, "Please give me food consisting of milk-rice."
ततो मामब्रवीन्माता दुःखशोकसमन्विता ।
पुत्रस्नेहात्परिष्वज्य मूर्ध्नि चाघ्राय माधव ॥८१॥
81. tato māmabravīnmātā duḥkhaśokasamanvitā ,

81. tataḥ mām abravīt mātā duḥkhaśokasamānvita
putrasnehāt pariṣvajya mūrdhni ca āghrāya mādhava
81. tataḥ duḥkhaśokasamānvita mātā putrasnehāt mām
pariṣvajya mūrdhni ca āghrāya abravīt mādhava
81. Then my mother, filled with sorrow and grief, embraced me and kissed my head out of maternal affection, and said, "O Mādhava."
कुतः क्षीरोदनं वत्स मुनीनां भावितात्मनाम् ।
वने निवसतां नित्यं कन्दमूलफलाशिनाम् ॥८२॥
82. kutaḥ kṣīrodanaṁ vatsa munīnāṁ bhāvitātmanām ,

82. kutaḥ kṣīrodanam vatsa munīnām bhāvitātmanām
vane nivasatām nityam kandamūlaphalāśinām
82. vatsa kutaḥ kṣīrodanam munīnām bhāvitātmanām
nityam vane nivasatām kandamūlaphalāśinām
82. O child, how can there be milk-rice for sages (muni) whose inner self (ātman) is cultivated, who constantly dwell in the forest, subsisting on roots, tubers, and fruits?
अप्रसाद्य विरूपाक्षं वरदं स्थाणुमव्ययम् ।
कुतः क्षीरोदनं वत्स सुखानि वसनानि च ॥८३॥
83. aprasādya virūpākṣaṁ varadaṁ sthāṇumavyayam ,
kutaḥ kṣīrodanaṁ vatsa sukhāni vasanāni ca.
83. aprasādya virūpākṣam varadam sthāṇum avyayam
kutaḥ kṣīrodanam vatsa sukhāni vasanāni ca
83. aprasādya virūpākṣam varadam sthāṇum avyayam
vatsa kutaḥ kṣīrodanam sukhāni ca vasanāni
83. Without propitiating the odd-eyed one (Virūpākṣa), the giver of boons, the immovable (sthāṇu), and the imperishable one, O child, how can there be milk-rice, comforts, and clothes?
तं प्रपद्य सदा वत्स सर्वभावेन शंकरम् ।
तत्प्रसादाच्च कामेभ्यः फलं प्राप्स्यसि पुत्रक ॥८४॥
84. taṁ prapadya sadā vatsa sarvabhāvena śaṁkaram ,
tatprasādācca kāmebhyaḥ phalaṁ prāpsyasi putraka.
84. tam prapadya sadā vatsa sarvabhāvena śaṅkaram
tatprasādāt ca kāmebhyaḥ phalam prāpsyasi putraka
84. vatsa putraka sadā sarvabhāvena tam śaṅkaram
prapadya ca tatprasādāt kāmebhyaḥ phalam prāpsyasi
84. My child, always resort to Śaṅkara with your whole being. And, dear son, by his grace, you will obtain the results of your desires.
जनन्यास्तद्वचः श्रुत्वा तदाप्रभृति शत्रुहन् ।
मम भक्तिर्महादेवे नैष्ठिकी समपद्यत ॥८५॥
85. jananyāstadvacaḥ śrutvā tadāprabhṛti śatruhan ,
mama bhaktirmahādeve naiṣṭhikī samapadyata.
85. jananyāḥ tat vacaḥ śrutvā tadāprabhṛti śatruhan
mama bhaktiḥ mahādeve naiṣṭhikī samapadyata
85. śatruhan jananyāḥ tat vacaḥ śrutvā tadāprabhṛti
mama mahādeve naiṣṭhikī bhaktiḥ samapadyata
85. O slayer of enemies, having heard those words of my mother, from that time onwards, my firm devotion (bhakti) to Mahādeva developed.
ततोऽहं तप आस्थाय तोषयामास शंकरम् ।
दिव्यं वर्षसहस्रं तु पादाङ्गुष्ठाग्रविष्ठितः ॥८६॥
86. tato'haṁ tapa āsthāya toṣayāmāsa śaṁkaram ,

86. tataḥ aham tapaḥ āsthāya toṣayāmāsa śaṅkaram

86. tataḥ aham pādāṅguṣṭhāgraviṣṭhitaḥ tapaḥ āsthāya
divyam varṣasahasram tu śaṅkaram toṣayāmāsa
86. Thereupon, I undertook austerity (tapas) and pleased Śaṅkara, standing on the tip of my big toe for a divine thousand years.
एकं वर्षशतं चैव फलाहारस्तदाभवम् ।
द्वितीयं शीर्णपर्णाशी तृतीयं चाम्बुभोजनः ।
शतानि सप्त चैवाहं वायुभक्षस्तदाभवम् ॥८७॥
87. ekaṁ varṣaśataṁ caiva phalāhārastadābhavam ,
dvitīyaṁ śīrṇaparṇāśī tṛtīyaṁ cāmbubhojanaḥ ,
śatāni sapta caivāhaṁ vāyubhakṣastadābhavam.
87. ekam varṣaśatam ca eva phalāhāraḥ

tadā abhavam dvitīyam śīrṇaparṇāśī
tṛtīyam ca ambubhojanaḥ ca eva

87. For one hundred years I subsisted on fruits. For the second (hundred years), I subsisted on dry leaves, and for the third, I subsisted on water. And for seven hundred years, I then subsisted on air.
ततः प्रीतो महादेवः सर्वलोकेश्वरः प्रभुः ।
शक्ररूपं स कृत्वा तु सर्वैर्देवगणैर्वृतः ।
सहस्राक्षस्तदा भूत्वा वज्रपाणिर्महायशाः ॥८८॥
88. tataḥ prīto mahādevaḥ sarvalokeśvaraḥ prabhuḥ ,

88. tataḥ prītaḥ mahādevaḥ sarvalokeśvaraḥ
prabhuḥ śakrarūpam sa kṛtvā tu
sarvaiḥ devagaṇaiḥ vṛtaḥ sahasrākṣaḥ

88. Then, the pleased Mahadeva, the mighty lord of all worlds, assumed the form of Indra (śakra). Surrounded by all the hosts of gods, he then became the thousand-eyed, thunderbolt-wielding, and very glorious (deity).
सुधावदातं रक्ताक्षं स्तब्धकर्णं मदोत्कटम् ।
आवेष्टितकरं रौद्रं चतुर्दंष्ट्रं महागजम् ॥८९॥
89. sudhāvadātaṁ raktākṣaṁ stabdhakarṇaṁ madotkaṭam ,

89. (He appeared mounted on) a great elephant, white as nectar, with red eyes, stiff ears, intensely rutting, with a coiled trunk, formidable, and four-tusked.
समास्थितश्च भगवान्दीप्यमानः स्वतेजसा ।
आजगाम किरीटी तु हारकेयूरभूषितः ॥९०॥
90. samāsthitaśca bhagavāndīpyamānaḥ svatejasā ,

90. samāsthitaḥ ca bhagavān dīpyamānaḥ svatejasā
ājagāma kirīṭī tu hārakeyūrabhūṣitaḥ
90. And the glorious one (Mahadeva in Indra's form), mounted (on the great elephant) and shining with his own splendor, arrived. He, the crowned one, was adorned with necklaces and armlets.
पाण्डुरेणातपत्रेण ध्रियमाणेन मूर्धनि ।

91. pāṇḍureṇa ātapatreṇa dhriyamāṇena mūrdhani
sevyamānaḥ apsarobhiḥ ca divyagandharvanāditaḥ
91. While a white umbrella was held over his head, he was being served by Apsaras and resounded with the music of divine Gandharvas.
ततो मामाह देवेन्द्रः प्रीतस्तेऽहं द्विजोत्तम ।
वरं वृणीष्व मत्तस्त्वं यत्ते मनसि वर्तते ॥९२॥
92. tato māmāha devendraḥ prītaste'haṁ dvijottama ,

92. tataḥ devendraḥ mām āha dvijottama aham te prītaḥ
tvam mattaḥ yat te manasi vartate varam vṛṇīṣva
92. Then the lord of gods said to me, "O best of brahmins, I am pleased with you. Request from me whatever boon is in your mind."
शक्रस्य तु वचः श्रुत्वा नाहं प्रीतमनाभवम् ।
अब्रुवं च तदा कृष्ण देवराजमिदं वचः ॥९३॥
93. śakrasya tu vacaḥ śrutvā nāhaṁ prītamanābhavam ,

93. tu śakrasya vacaḥ śrutvā aham na prītamanā
abhavam ca tadā kṛṣṇa devarājam idam vacaḥ abruvam
93. But having heard Indra's words, I was not pleased in mind. And then, O Krishna, I spoke these words to the king of gods.
नाहं त्वत्तो वरं काङ्क्षे नान्यस्मादपि दैवतात् ।
महादेवादृते सौम्य सत्यमेतद्ब्रवीमि ते ॥९४॥
94. nāhaṁ tvatto varaṁ kāṅkṣe nānyasmādapi daivatāt ,

94. saumya aham tvattaḥ varam na kāṅkṣe na api anyasmāt
daivatāt mahādevāt ṛte etat satyam te bravīmi
94. "I do not desire a boon from you, nor even from any other deity, except from Mahadeva (Shiva), O gentle one. This truth I tell to you."
पशुपतिवचनाद्भवामि सद्यः कृमिरथ वा तरुरप्यनेकशाखः ।
