23. Then the minister, having caused a waterless forest to be constructed - one with magnificent trees and abundant roots, flowers, and fruits - privately approached the king and said, "This forest is splendid and waterless. It is proper that you enjoy yourself here."

24. According to his (minister's) advice, he entered that forest with the queen herself. Once, as he was engaged in enjoying himself with her in that beautiful forest, he became greatly distressed by hunger and thirst and, being weary, he then saw a magnificent bower of jasmine (atimukta flowers).

अथ तां देवीं स राजाब्रवीत् ।

राजा नापश्यत् ॥२९॥

rājā nāpaśyat.
29. tām mṛgayamāṇaḥ

सर्वमण्डूकवधः क्रियतामिति ।
यो मयार्थी स मृतकैर्मण्डूकैरुपायनैर्मामुपतिष्ठेदिति ॥३०॥
30. vāpīmapi niḥsrāvya maṇḍūkaṁ śvabhramukhe dṛṣṭvā kruddha ājñāpayāmāsa ,

30. vāpīm api niḥsrāvya maṇḍūkam śvabhramukhe

kriyatām iti yaḥ mayā arthī saḥ mṛtakaiḥ
maṇḍūkaiḥ upāyanaiḥ mām upatiṣṭhet iti
30. Even after draining the pond, the king, upon seeing a frog at the mouth of the pit, became enraged and commanded, "Let all frogs be killed! Whoever desires a boon from me should approach me with dead frogs as offerings."
अथ मण्डूकवधे घोरे क्रियमाणे दिक्षु सर्वासु मण्डूकान्भयमाविशत् ।
ते भीता मण्डूकराज्ञे यथावृत्तं न्यवेदयन् ॥३१॥

31. atha maṇḍūkavadhe ghore kriyamāṇe dikṣu sarvāsu maṇḍūkān
bhayam āviśat te bhītāḥ maṇḍūkarājñe yathāvṛttam nyavedayan
31. Then, as a terrible slaughter of frogs was being carried out in all directions, fear seized the frogs. Frightened, they reported what had happened to the king of frogs.
ततो मण्डूकराट्तापसवेषधारी
राजानमभ्यगच्छत् ॥३२॥
32. tato maṇḍūkarāṭtāpasaveṣadhārī
rājānamabhyagacchat.
32. tataḥ maṇḍūkarāṭ tāpasaveṣadhārī
rājānam abhyagacchat
32. Thereupon, the king of frogs, wearing the garb of an ascetic (tāpasa), approached the (human) king.
उपेत्य चैनमुवाच ।
मा राजन्क्रोधवशं गमः ।
प्रसादं कुरु ।
नार्हसि मण्डूकानामनपराधिनां वधं कर्तुमिति ॥३३॥

33. upetya ca enam uvāca mā rājan krodhavaśam gamaḥ prasādam
kuru na arhasi maṇḍūkānām anaparādhinām vadham kartum iti
33. And having approached him, [the frog king] said, "O King, do not succumb to the power of anger. Show mercy; you should not kill these innocent frogs."
श्लोकौ
चात्र भवतः ॥३४॥
34. ślokau cātra
bhavataḥ.
34. ślokau ca
atra bhavataḥ
34. And regarding this, there are two verses.
प्रतिजानीहि नैतांस्त्वं प्राप्य क्रोधं विमोक्ष्यसे ।
अलं कृत्वा तवाधर्मं मण्डूकैः किं हतैर्हि ते ॥३५॥
35. pratijānīhi naitāṁstvaṁ prāpya krodhaṁ vimokṣyase ,
alaṁ kṛtvā tavādharmaṁ maṇḍūkaiḥ kiṁ hatairhi te.
35. pratijānīhi na etān tvam prāpya krodham vimokṣyase
alam kṛtvā tava adharmam maṇḍūkaiḥ kim hataiḥ hi te
35. Promise that you will not kill these (frogs) even after you have become angry. Indeed, what good will it do you to kill the frogs, achieving nothing but a futile act of unrighteousness (adharma)?
तमेवंवादिनमिष्टजनशोकपरीतात्मा राजा प्रोवाच ।
न हि क्षम्यते तन्मया ।
हनिष्याम्येतान् ।

durātmabhiḥ priyā me bhakṣitā sarvathā eva me
vadhyāḥ maṇḍūkāḥ na arhasi vidvan mām uparoddhum iti
36. To him who spoke thus, the king, whose spirit (ātman) was overcome with sorrow for his beloved wife, replied: "Indeed, I cannot forgive that. I will kill these (frogs). My beloved one was devoured by these evil-minded (durātman) creatures. By all means, these frogs must be killed by me. O wise one, you should not try to stop me."
स तद्वाक्यमुपलभ्य व्यथितेन्द्रियमनाः प्रोवाच ।

etat bahavaḥ hi rājānaḥ tayā vipralabdha pūrvāḥ iti
37. Upon hearing that statement, with his senses and mind distressed, he said: 'Have mercy, O King! I am Āyu, the king of frogs. That daughter of mine is named Suśobhanā. This is her bad conduct (dauḥśīlya). Indeed, many kings have been deceived by her previously.'

40. He said to his daughter, 'Because you have deceived kings, therefore your offspring will be impious (abrahmaṇyāni) due to your untruthfulness (anṛtakatva).'
स च राजा तामुपलभ्य तस्यां सुरतगुणनिबद्धहृदयो लोकत्रयैश्वर्यमिवोपलभ्य हर्षबाष्पकलया वाचा प्रणिपत्याभिपूज्य मण्डूकराजानमब्रवीत् ।

43. Then, after some time, three princes named Shala, Dala, and Bala were born to that king from her. Thereafter, their father, at the appropriate time, consecrated the eldest, Shala, to the kingship. With his mind fixed on spiritual austerity (tapas), he departed for the forest.

46. The charioteer, thus spoken to, said to the king, "Do not persist. This deer cannot be caught by you, even if the two horses named Vāmya (vāmyau) were yoked to your chariot."

47. Then the king said to the charioteer, "Explain the two Vāmya horses (vāmyau) to me, or I will kill you!"
स एवमुक्तो राजभयभीतो वामदेवशापभीतश्च सन्नाचख्यौ राज्ञे ।

48. sa evam uktaḥ rājabhayabhītaḥ vāmadevaśāpabhītaḥ ca san
ācakhyau rājñe vāmadevasya aśvau vāmyau manojavau iti
48. Having been thus spoken to, and being afraid of the king and afraid of Vāmadeva's curse, he then narrated to the king: "The two horses of Vāmadeva (vāmyau) are as swift as thought (manojavau)."
अथैनमेवं ब्रुवाणमब्रवीद्राजा ।

49. athainamevaṁ bruvāṇamabravīdrājā ,

49. atha enam evam bruvāṇam abravīt

49. Then the king said to him, as he was speaking thus, "Go to Vāmadeva's hermitage."
स गत्वा वामदेवाश्रमं तमृषिमब्रवीत् ।
भगवन्मृगो मया विद्धः पलायते ।

viddhaḥ palāyate tam saṃbhāvayeyam
arhasi me vāmyau dātum iti
50. Having gone to Vāmadeva's hermitage, he said to that sage, "O venerable one, a deer wounded by me is fleeing. I wish to retrieve it. You should give me two Vāmī horses."
तमब्रवीदृषिः ।
ददानि ते वाम्यौ ।

51. tamabravīdṛṣiḥ ,

51. tam abravīt ṛṣiḥ dadāni te vāmyau kṛta
kāryeṇa bhavatā mama eva niryātyau kṣipram iti
51. The sage said to him, "I will give you two Vāmī horses. They are to be returned quickly to me alone by you once your task is accomplished."
स च तावश्वौ प्रतिगृह्यानुज्ञाप्य चर्षिं प्रायाद्वाम्यसंयुक्तेन रथेन मृगं प्रति ।

52. And having received those two horses and taken leave of the sage, he departed in a chariot yoked with the Vāmī horses, heading towards the deer. As he went, he said to the charioteer, "These two excellent horses are unsuitable for brāhmaṇas. They should not be returned to Vāmadeva."
एवमुक्त्वा मृगमवाप्य

53. evam uktvā mṛgam avāpya svanagaram

53. Having thus spoken, and having obtained the deer, he came to his own city and placed it in the inner stable of the palace.
अथर्षिश्चिन्तयामास ।

54. atha ṛṣiḥ cintayāmāsa taruṇaḥ rājaputraḥ kalyāṇam patram
āsādya ramate na me pratiniryātayati aho kaṣṭam iti
54. Then the sage thought: 'The young prince is enjoying the auspicious prize he obtained. He does not return it to me. Oh, what a trouble!'
मनसा निश्चित्य मासि पूर्णे शिष्यमब्रवीत् ।

55. Having thus decided mentally, when a month was complete, he said to his disciple: 'Go, Ātreya, tell the king: "If it is sufficient, return the two valuable objects for the preceptor."'
स गत्वैवं तं

56. sa gatvaivaṁ taṁ

56. Having gone, he thus spoke to that king.

57. The king replied to him, "This is a conveyance for kings. Brahmins are not worthy of such valuable possessions. Moreover, what business do Brahmins have with horses? Please return now."

58. Having gone, he thus reported to the teacher.
तच्छ्रुत्वा वचनमप्रियं वामदेवः क्रोधपरीतात्मा स्वयमेव राजानमभिगम्याश्वार्थमभ्यचोदयत् ।

59. Having heard that unpleasant statement, Vāmadeva, his soul enveloped in anger, himself approached the king and urged him concerning the horses. But the king did not give them.
वामदेव उवाच ।
प्रयच्छ वाम्यौ मम पार्थिव त्वं कृतं हि ते कार्यमन्यैरशक्यम् ।

pārthiva tvam kṛtam hi te kāryam anyaiḥ
aśakyam | mā tvā vadhīt varuṇaḥ

60. Vāmadeva said, "O King, you must give me the two horses. Indeed, this is your duty (kārya), which others cannot fulfill. May Varuṇa, who resides between the Brahmin (brahman) and Kṣatriya (kṣatra) powers, not bind you with dreadful nooses."
राजोवाच ।

61. The king said: "O Vāmadeva, these two oxen are well-behaved and docile; they are a suitable conveyance for brahmins. Go with them wherever you desire, great sage. Indeed, the Vedic hymns (chandāṃsi) themselves carry one like you."
वामदेव उवाच ।

saṃvahanti loke amuṣmin pārthiva

62. Vāmadeva said: "Indeed, O king (pārthiva), the Vedic hymns (chandāṃsi) that exist in that world carry one like me. But in *this* world, this conveyance (yāna) is for me and for others like us, O King."
राजोवाच ।

63. The King said: "Or let four donkeys carry you, or excellent mules, or even swift horses. These conveyances (vāha) are for a kṣatriya. Know that these two (oxen) are mine, not yours."
वामदेव उवाच ।
घोरं व्रतं ब्राह्मणस्यैतदाहुरेतद्राजन्यदिहाजीवमानः ।

64. Vāmadeva said: "They declare this to be a terrible vow (vrata) for a brahmin - this very sustenance (ājīvamānaḥ) here, O king. Let huge, terrifying, iron-made creatures, armed with sharp lances, carry you in four directions."
राजोवाच ।

vāmadeva vācā hantum manasā karmaṇā

65. The King said: "O Vāmadeva, may those who acknowledge you as a Brahmin, and those who would harm (others) by speech, thought, or action, be impelled by my words, and with sharp spears and swords in hand, cast you down here along with your disciples."
वामदेव उवाच ।

bhavanti vācā rājan manasā karmaṇā
vā | yaḥ tu evam brahma tapasā anveti
vidvān tena śreṣṭhaḥ bhavati hi jīvamānaḥ
66. Vāmadeva said: "O King, Brahmins are not subject to interrogations or challenges, whether by speech, mind, or action. Indeed, one who, being wise, thus follows the supreme reality (brahman) through austerity (tapas), by that path he becomes superior while living."
मार्कण्डेय उवाच ।
एवमुक्ते वामदेवेन राजन्समुत्तस्थू राक्षसा घोररूपाः ।

67. Mārkaṇḍeya said: "When Vāmadeva had thus spoken, O King, fearsome-looking demons (rakṣasas) arose. While being assailed by those demons holding spears, that king then loudly uttered these words."
इक्ष्वाकवो यदि ब्रह्मन्दलो वा विधेया मे यदि वान्ये विशोऽपि ।
नोत्स्रक्ष्येऽहं वामदेवस्य वाम्यौ नैवंविधा धर्मशीला भवन्ति ॥६८॥
68. ikṣvākavo yadi brahmandalo vā; vidheyā me yadi vānye viśo'pi ,

68. ikṣvākavaḥ yadi brahman dalaḥ vā
vidheyāḥ me yadi vā anye viśaḥ api |
na utsrakṣye aham vāmadevasya vāmyau
na evamvidhāḥ dharmaśīlāḥ bhavanti
68. (The King said:) "O Brahmin, if the Ikṣvākus, or my people, or even other subjects are subservient to me, then I shall not abandon Vāmadeva's two feet. People of such righteous character (dharma) do not act this way."
एवं ब्रुवन्नेव स यातुधानैर्हतो जगामाशु महीं क्षितीशः ।

hataḥ jagāma āśu mahīm kṣitīśaḥ
tataḥ viditvā nṛpatim nipātitam

69. The king, even as he spoke thus, was killed by the rākṣasas and quickly fell to the earth. Then, having learned that the king was slain, the Ikshvakus indeed crowned Dala.
राज्ये तदा तत्र गत्वा स विप्रः प्रोवाचेदं वचनं वामदेवः ।

70. rājye tadā tatra gatvā sa vipraḥ; provācedaṁ vacanaṁ vāmadevaḥ ,

provāca idam vacanam vāmadevaḥ
dalam rājānam brāhmaṇānām hi

70. Then, having gone there to the kingdom, that Brahmin Vāmadeva spoke this word: "O King, Dala indeed owes what is due to the Brahmins. This is established in all principles of natural law (dharma)."
बिभेषि चेत्त्वमधर्मान्नरेन्द्र प्रयच्छ मे शीघ्रमेवाद्य वाम्यौ ।

71. bibheṣi cet tvam adharmāt narendra
prayaccha me śīghram eva adya

saḥ pārthivaḥ sūtam uvāca roṣāt
71. "If you fear unrighteousness (adharma), O king, then give me two mares quickly, right now!" Having heard this statement of Vāmadeva, that king, out of anger, spoke to his charioteer.
एकं हि मे सायकं चित्ररूपं दिग्धं विषेणाहर संगृहीतम् ।
येन विद्धो वामदेवः शयीत संदश्यमानः श्वभिरार्तरूपः ॥७२॥
72. ekaṁ hi me sāyakaṁ citrarūpaṁ; digdhaṁ viṣeṇāhara saṁgṛhītam ,

72. ekam hi me sāyakam citrarūpam
digdham viṣeṇa āhara saṁgṛhītam
yena viddhaḥ vāmadevaḥ śayīta
saṁdaśyamānaḥ śvabhiḥ ārtarūpaḥ
72. [Charioteer,] indeed, bring me that one wondrous arrow, prepared and smeared with poison. With it, Vāmadeva, pierced, will lie down, being bitten by dogs, presenting a pained appearance.
वामदेव उवाच ।
जानामि पुत्रं दशवर्षं तवाहं जातं महिष्यां श्येनजितं नरेन्द्र ।

73. Vāmadeva said: 'O king, I know your ten-year-old son Śyenajit, born of the queen. You, impelled by my command, must quickly kill that beloved son with terrifying arrows.'
मार्कण्डेय उवाच ।

74. Mārkaṇḍeya said: 'O king, thus addressed by Vāmadeva, the king killed the prince in the inner chambers. As that sharp-pointed arrow was released, Dala (the essence of the prince now dwelling in the arrow), having heard that command, spoke.'
इक्ष्वाकवो हन्त चरामि वः प्रियं निहन्मीमं विप्रमद्य प्रमथ्य ।

75. 'O Ikṣvākus, indeed, I shall accomplish what is dear to you! I will kill this Brahmin (vipra) today, having crushed him. Let another fiercely shining (weapon) be brought! Behold my prowess today, O rulers of the earth!'
वामदेव उवाच ।

76. Vāmadeva said: 'O lord of men (mānavendra), this terrible-looking arrow, smeared with poison, which you are aiming at me – you will not be able to release or even string this excellent arrow!'
राजोवाच ।
इक्ष्वाकवः पश्यत मां गृहीतं न वै शक्नोम्येष शरं विमोक्तुम् ।

77. The King said, 'O Ikṣvākus, behold me, seized! Indeed, I am unable to release this arrow, nor am I capable of destroying its effect. May Vāmadeva certainly live long!'
वामदेव उवाच ।

78. vāmadevaḥ uvāca | saṃspṛśa enām mahiṣīm

78. Vāmadeva said, 'Touch this queen with the arrow; then you will be freed from that sin.'
मार्कण्डेय उवाच ।

79. Mārkaṇḍeya said, 'Then the king acted accordingly. Thereafter, the princess spoke to the sage: "O Vāmadeva, as was appropriate, I, though lying with this man (the king) day after day, constantly reproached him. Thus, by seeking good deeds (sūnṛtāni) for the brahmins, O Brahmin, may I attain a meritorious world."'
