अष्टावक्र उवाच ।
अत्रोग्रसेनसमितेषु राजन्समागतेष्वप्रतिमेषु राजसु ।
न वै विवित्सान्तरमस्ति वादिनां महाजले हंसनिनादिनामिव ॥१॥
1. aṣṭāvakra uvāca ,
atrograsenasamiteṣu rāja;nsamāgateṣvapratimeṣu rājasu ,
na vai vivitsāntaramasti vādināṁ; mahājale haṁsaninādināmiva.
1. aṣṭāvakraḥ uvāca atra ugrasenasaṃmiteṣu
rājan samāgateṣu apratimeṣu
rājasu na vai vivitsā antaram asti
vādinām mahājale haṃsaninādinām iva
1. Aṣṭāvakra said: Here, O King, among these incomparable kings assembled in Ugrasena's gathering, there is no real distinction in their debates, just as among swans crying in a great lake.
न मेऽद्य वक्ष्यस्यतिवादिमानिन्ग्लहं प्रपन्नः सरितामिवागमः ।
हुताशनस्येव समिद्धतेजसः स्थिरो भवस्वेह ममाद्य बन्दिन् ॥२॥
2. na me'dya vakṣyasyativādimāni;nglahaṁ prapannaḥ saritāmivāgamaḥ ,
hutāśanasyeva samiddhatejasaḥ; sthiro bhavasveha mamādya bandin.
2. na me adya vakṣyasi ativādimānin
glaham prapannaḥ saritām iva āgamaḥ
hutāśanasya iva samiddhatejasaḥ
sthiraḥ bhavasva iha mama adya bandin
2. O boastful one, today you will not speak to me as one who has entered a contest, like the confluence of rivers. O bard, today you must remain steadfast here before me, like the blazing splendor of a fire.
बन्द्युवाच ।
व्याघ्रं शयानं प्रति मा प्रबोधय आशीविषं सृक्किणी लेलिहानम् ।
पदाहतस्येव शिरोऽभिहत्य नादष्टो वै मोक्ष्यसे तन्निबोध ॥३॥
3. bandyuvāca ,
vyāghraṁ śayānaṁ prati mā prabodhaya; āśīviṣaṁ sṛkkiṇī lelihānam ,
padāhatasyeva śiro'bhihatya; nādaṣṭo vai mokṣyase tannibodha.
3. bandiḥ uvāca vyāghram śayānam prati
mā prabodhay āśīviṣam sṛkkiṇī
lelihānam padāhatasya iva śiraḥ abhihatya
na adaṣṭaḥ vai mokṣyase tat nibodha
3. Bandi said: "Do not awaken a sleeping tiger, nor a venomous serpent licking the corners of its mouth. If you strike its head - like one (serpent) that has been trampled underfoot - you will certainly not escape without being bitten. Understand that."
यो वै दर्पात्संहननोपपन्नः सुदुर्बलः पर्वतमाविहन्ति ।
तस्यैव पाणिः सनखो विशीर्यते न चैव शैलस्य हि दृश्यते व्रणः ॥४॥
4. yo vai darpātsaṁhananopapannaḥ; sudurbalaḥ parvatamāvihanti ,
tasyaiva pāṇiḥ sanakho viśīryate; na caiva śailasya hi dṛśyate vraṇaḥ.
4. yaḥ vai darpāt saṃhananopapannaḥ
sudurbalaḥ parvatam āvihanti tasya
eva pāṇiḥ sanakhaḥ viśīryate na
ca eva śailasya hi dṛśyate vraṇaḥ
4. Whoever, indeed, out of arrogance, even if endowed with (some) physical strength but ultimately very weak, strikes a mountain, his hand, along with its nails, will certainly break apart, and indeed, no wound will be seen on the mountain.
सर्वे राज्ञो मैथिलस्य मैनाकस्येव पर्वताः ।
निकृष्टभूता राजानो वत्सा अनदुहो यथा ॥५॥
5. sarve rājño maithilasya mainākasyeva parvatāḥ ,
nikṛṣṭabhūtā rājāno vatsā anaduho yathā.
5. sarve rājñaḥ maithilasya mainākasya iva parvatāḥ
nikṛṣṭabhūtāḥ rājānaḥ vatsāḥ anaḍuhaḥ yathā
5. All (other) kings are like (ordinary) mountains, whereas the King of Mithila is like Mainaka. (Thus, other) kings are rendered inferior, becoming like calves compared to a bull.

garjamānaḥ jātakrodhaḥ bandinam āha
rājan ukte vākye ca uttaram me bravīhi
vākyasya ca api uttaram te bravīmi
6. Lomasha said, "Aṣṭāvakra, roaring in the assembly, became enraged and addressed Bandin, 'O King, you first give your reply to the statement, and then I will give you my reply to your statement.'"

एक एवाग्निर्बहुधा समिध्यते एकः सूर्यः सर्वमिदं प्रभासते ।

7. bandīḥ uvāca ekaḥ eva agniḥ bahudhā
samidhyate ekaḥ sūryaḥ sarvam idam
prabhāsate ekaḥ vīraḥ devarājaḥ nihantā
yamaḥ pitṝṇām īśvaraḥ ca ekaḥ eva
7. Bandin said, "The one fire is kindled in many ways; the one sun illuminates this entire world. The one heroic Indra, king of the gods, is the slayer. Yama, the lord of the ancestors (pitṛs), is also just one."
अष्टावक्र उवाच ।
द्वाविन्द्राग्नी चरतो वै सखायौ द्वौ देवर्षी नारदः पर्वतश्च ।

vai sakhāyau dvau devarṣī nāradaḥ
parvataḥ ca dvau aśvinau dve ca rathasya
cakre bhāryāpatī dvau vihitau vidhātrā
8. Aṣṭāvakra said, "Indeed, Indra and Agni move about as two friends. The two divine sages are Nārada and Parvata. There are two Aśvin twins, and two wheels of a chariot. The two roles of wife and husband (bhāryāpatī) are ordained by the Creator (vidhātṛ)."

triḥ sūyate trayaḥ yuktāḥ vājapeyaṃ
vahanti adhvaryavaḥ triṣavaṇāni tanvate
ca trayaḥ lokāḥ trīṇi jyotīṃṣi āhuḥ
9. Bandy said: This creature is indeed born thrice through its actions (karma). Three qualified individuals perform the Vājapeya (Vedic ritual). The Adhvaryu priests perform the three daily libations (triṣavaṇāni). And they speak of three worlds and three luminaries.

10. Aṣṭāvakra said: There is a fourfold abode for the Brahmins. Four engaged (priests) carry out this ritual (yajña). There are four directions and four social classes (varṇāḥ), and a four-footed cow is always mentioned.
बन्द्युवाच ।
पञ्चाग्नयः पञ्चपदा च पङ्क्तिर्यज्ञाः पञ्चैवाप्यथ पञ्चेन्द्रियाणि ।

paṅktiḥ yajñāḥ pañca eva api atha pañca
indriyāṇi dṛṣṭāḥ vede pañcacūḍāḥ ca

11. Bandy said: There are five sacred fires, and the paṅkti (metre) consists of five feet. There are also five types of rituals (yajña) and five sense organs (indriyāṇi). Five 'five-crested' entities are mentioned in the Veda, and the sacred Pañcanada (land of five rivers) is renowned in the world.

12. aṣṭāvakra uvāca ,

12. Aṣṭāvakra said: Some assert that there are six ritual fees (dakṣiṇā) in the ādhāna (fire-establishment ritual). These six seasons (ṛtavaḥ) form the wheel of time. Moreover, there are six sense organs (indriyāṇi) and six Kṛttikās (Pleiades), and six sādyaskāḥ (one-day rituals) are observed in all the Vedas.

13. Bandy said: There are seven domestic animals and seven wild animals. Seven Vedic metres (chandāṃsi) are used in a single ritual (kratu). There are also seven great sages (saptarṣayaḥ) and seven types of offerings (arhaṇāni); and the seven-stringed vīṇā (lute) is well-known.

vahanti tathā aṣṭapādaḥ siṃhaghātī
śarabhaḥ devatāsu aṣṭau vasūn śuśruma

14. Aṣṭāvakra said: Eight *śāṇa* units constitute a *śatamāna* unit. Similarly, the eight-footed Sharabha is a lion-killer. We have heard of eight Vasus among the deities. And the sacrificial post (yūpa), which embodies the entire Vedic ritual (yajña), is prescribed to be eight-angled.

15. Bandin said: Nine sāmīdhenī verses are declared for the ancestors (pitṛ), and similarly, they refer to the ninefold emission (visarga). The Bṛhatī meter is stated to consist of nine syllables, and the ninefold calculation always comes into reckoning.

śatāni daśa eva māsān bibhrati garbhavatyaḥ
daśa irakāḥ daśa dāśāḥ daśārṇāḥ
16. Aṣṭāvakra said: Ten directions are declared for a person (puruṣa) in the world. They state that ten complete hundreds make a thousand. Pregnant women carry their fetuses for ten months. There are ten reed-mats (iraḳā), ten fishermen (dāśa), and ten Daśārṇas (people from the Daśārṇa country or the river itself).

17. Bandin said: There are eleven sacrificial animals (paśu) for the Ekādaśinī sacrifice. Here, there are indeed eleven sacrificial posts (yūpa). There are eleven transformations of living beings, and eleven Rudras are declared among the deities in heaven.

māsam āhuḥ jagatyāḥ pādaḥ dvādaśa eva
akṣarāṇi dvādaśāhaḥ prākṛtaḥ yajñaḥ uktaḥ
iha viprāḥ dvādaśa ādityān kathayanti
18. Aṣṭāvakra said: They declare a year to consist of twelve months. A foot of the Jagati meter indeed comprises twelve syllables. The twelve-day (Vedic ritual) (yajña) is described as standard. And here, the wise ones (viprāḥ) speak of twelve Adityas.
बन्द्युवाच ।

19. Bandiḥ uvāca | trayodaśī tithiḥ uktā
mahogrā | trayodaśadvīpavatī mahī ca
19. Bandy spoke: "The thirteenth day (tithi) is declared to be extremely terrible. And the earth (mahī) is said to have thirteen continents."
लोमश उवाच ।

20. lomaśa uvāca ,

20. Lomaśaḥ uvāca | etāvat uktvā virarāma
Bandī | ślokasya ardham vyājahāra
Aṣṭāvakraḥ | trayodaśa ahāni sasāra Keśī
| trayodaśa ādīni atichandāṃsi ca āhuḥ
20. Lomaśa spoke: "Having said this much, Bandi stopped. Aṣṭāvakra then completed the verse by saying: Keśī journeyed for thirteen days, and the wise also refer to the Atichandāṃsi (meters) as those classified from thirteen onwards."
ततो महानुदतिष्ठन्निनादस्तूष्णींभूतं सूतपुत्रं निशम्य ।

21. tato mahānudatiṣṭhannināda;stūṣṇīṁbhūtaṁ sūtaputraṁ niśamya ,

tūṣṇīmbhūtam Sūtaputram niśamya

21. Then a great sound arose, as (they perceived) the son of the charioteer (Sūtaputra) had become silent. At that very moment, Aṣṭāvakra, with his face cast down and absorbed in meditation (dhyāna), was just concluding his utterance.
तस्मिंस्तथा संकुले वर्तमाने स्फीते यज्ञे जनकस्याथ राज्ञः ।
अष्टावक्रं पूजयन्तोऽभ्युपेयुर्विप्राः सर्वे प्राञ्जलयः प्रतीताः ॥२२॥
22. tasmiṁstathā saṁkule vartamāne; sphīte yajñe janakasyātha rājñaḥ ,

sphīte yajñe janakasya atha rājñaḥ
aṣṭāvakram pūjayantaḥ abhyupeyuḥ
viprāḥ sarve prāñjalayaḥ pratītāḥ
22. As that grand (yajña) sacrifice of King Janaka was ongoing amidst such a chaotic situation, all the Brahmins, convinced and with folded hands, approached Ashtavakra, revering him.

23. Ashtavakra said: "Indeed, it is well known that this man (Bandi) defeated learned Brahmins in debate and then immersed them in the waters. Let this Bandi himself now experience the same consequence (dharma). Seize him and drown him in the water!"
बन्द्युवाच ।

satreṇa tulyakālam tat artham me dvijāgryāḥ te prahitāḥ
24. Bandy said: I am the son of King Varuna. There, a twelve-year Vedic ritual (satra) was held. O Janaka, for the duration of that ritual, my excellent Brahmins were sent to you for that purpose.
एते सर्वे वरुणस्योत यज्ञं द्रष्टुं गता इह आयान्ति भूयः ।
अष्टावक्रं पूजये पूजनीयं यस्य हेतोर्जनितारं समेष्ये ॥२५॥
25. ete sarve varuṇasyota yajñaṁ; draṣṭuṁ gatā iha āyānti bhūyaḥ ,

25. All these (sages), having gone to witness Varuna's Vedic ritual (yajña), are now returning here again. I should honor Ashtavakra, who is worthy of reverence, for his sake I shall meet my father.

26. Aṣṭāvakra said: O Brahmins, those learned ones who were submerged in the ocean's water were conquered by [my] speech and intellect. Then, he (Aṣṭāvakra) skillfully brought forth that speech with intellect, just as virtuous people carefully select words.
अग्निर्दहञ्जातवेदाः सतां गृहान्विसर्जयंस्तेजसा न स्म धाक्षीत् ।

visarjayan tejasā na sma dhākṣīt

27. Agni (jātavedāḥ), the all-knowing fire, though burning and emitting his radiant heat, would not burn the homes of virtuous people, especially when their young sons cry out piteously. Similarly, virtuous people carefully select words.
श्लेष्मातकी क्षीणवर्चाः शृणोषि उताहो त्वां स्तुतयो मादयन्ति ।
हस्तीव त्वं जनक वितुद्यमानो न मामिकां वाचमिमां शृणोषि ॥२८॥

uta aho tvām stutayaḥ mādayanti
hastī iva tvam janaka vitudyamānaḥ
na māmikām vācam imām śṛṇoṣi
28. O Śleṣmātakī (whose vigor is diminished), do you hear, or do praises rather intoxicate you? O Janaka, you are like an elephant being prodded, yet you do not listen to this speech of mine.
जनक उवाच ।
शृणोमि वाचं तव दिव्यरूपाममानुषीं दिव्यरूपोऽसि साक्षात् ।

divyarūpām amānuṣīm divyarūpaḥ asi sākṣāt
ajaiṣīḥ yat bandinam tvam vivāde
nisṛṣṭaḥ eṣaḥ tava kāmaḥ adya bandī
29. Janaka said: I hear your speech, which is divine in form and superhuman. You are indeed directly divine in form. Since you conquered the debater (Bandī) in the debate, this Bandī is now granted to you as per your wish.
अष्टावक्र उवाच ।
नानेन जीवता कश्चिदर्थो मे बन्दिना नृप ।

30. aṣṭāvakra uvāca na anena jīvatā kaścit arthaḥ me bandinā
nṛpa pitā yadi asya varuṇaḥ majjaya enam jalāśaye
30. Aṣṭāvakra said: 'O King, this bard being alive serves no purpose for me. If his father is Varuṇa, then immerse him in a body of water.'
बन्द्युवाच ।
अहं पुत्रो वरुणस्योत राज्ञो न मे भयं सलिले मज्जितस्य ।

uta rājñaḥ na me bhayam salile
majjitasya imam muhūrtam pitaram drakṣyate

31. Bandin said: 'I am the son of Varuṇa, the king, so I have no fear of being immersed in water. This Aṣṭāvakra will, in this very moment, see his long-lost father Kahora.'

32. lomaśa uvāca tataḥ te pūjitā viprā varuṇena
mahātmanā udatraṣṭhanta te sarve janakasya samīpataḥ
32. Lomaśa said: 'Then all those brahmins, having been honored by the magnanimous Varuṇa, rose up near Janaka.'

33. kahoḍa uvāca iti artham icchanti sutān janā janaka
karmaṇā yat aham na aśakam kartum tat putraḥ kṛtavān mama
33. Kahoḍa said: 'O Janaka, it is for this very purpose that people desire sons: that which I was unable to accomplish, my son has achieved for me through his deeds (karma).'
उताबलस्य बलवानुत बालस्य पण्डितः ।
उत वाविदुषो विद्वान्पुत्रो जनक जायते ॥३४॥
34. utābalasya balavānuta bālasya paṇḍitaḥ ,
uta vāviduṣo vidvānputro janaka jāyate.
34. uta abalasya balavān uta bālasya paṇḍitaḥ
uta vā aviduṣaḥ vidvān putraḥ janaka jāyate
34. O Janaka, a strong son is born even to the weak, a learned son to the young, and a wise son even to the ignorant.
बन्द्युवाच ।
शितेन ते परशुना स्वयमेवान्तको नृप ।

35. bandī uvāca śitena te paraśunā svayam eva antakaḥ
nṛpa śirāṃsi apāharatvā ājau ripūṇām bhadram astu te
35. Bandī said: O King, may the Destroyer himself, with your sharp axe, having taken away the heads of your enemies in battle, may prosperity be yours.
महदुक्थ्यं गीयते साम चाग्र्यं सम्यक्सोमः पीयते चात्र सत्रे ।

hṛṣṭāḥ sākṣāt devāḥ ca janakasya
iha yajñe śucīn bhāgān pratijagṛhuḥ
36. In this Vedic ritual (sattra), a great Ukthya hymn is sung, and a prime Sama chant is performed. Soma juice is properly imbibed here. The gods themselves, delighted, directly received pure offerings here in Janaka's Vedic ritual (yajña).
लोमश उवाच ।

37. Lomaśa said: O King, after all those exceedingly radiant Brahmins had stood up, Bandī, having then received permission from King Janaka, entered the ocean's waters.
अष्टावक्रः पितरं पूजयित्वा संपूजितो ब्राह्मणैस्तैर्यथावत् ।

sampūjitaḥ brāhmaṇaiḥ taiḥ yathāvat

38. Aṣṭāvakra, after worshipping his father, and having been duly honored by those Brahmins, returned to his excellent hermitage, accompanied by his maternal uncle, after defeating Bandi.
अत्र कौन्तेय सहितो भ्रातृभिस्त्वं सुखोषितः सह विप्रैः प्रतीतः ।

39. O son of Kuntī (Kaunteya), O descendant of Ajamiḍha (Ājamīḍha), you, accompanied by your brothers and delighted together with the Brahmins, have happily resided here. With me, you have performed many other virtuous deeds (puṇya), being devoted solely to pure actions (karma).
