vai tām āpatantīm ciccheda madhye vajreṇa vāsavaḥ

अथास्य शैलशिखरं केशी क्रुद्धो व्यवासृजत् ।

13. Then, enraged, Keśī hurled a mountain peak at Indra. Having seen that incoming mountain peak, Śatakratu (Indra), O King, split it with his thunderbolt, and it indeed fell to the ground.

asi kasyāḥ asi kim ca iha kuruṣe tvam śubhānanane
15. When that Asura had departed, Vāsava (Indra) spoke to that maiden: "O beautiful-faced one, who are you? Whose are you? And what are you doing here?"

16. The maiden said: "I am the daughter of Prajāpati, renowned as Devasenā. My sister, Daityasenā, was previously abducted by Keśin."

| āgacchāva iha rati artham anujñāpya prajāpatim
17. We two sisters, along with our female companions, came here to the Mānasa lake for enjoyment, having first obtained permission from Prajāpati.

इच्छत्येनं दैत्यसेना न त्वहं पाकशासन ॥१८॥

18. nityam ca āvām prārthayate hartum keśī mahāsuraḥ
| icchati enam daityasenā na tu aham pākaśāsana
18. And Keśin, the great demon, constantly entreats us two to abduct us. Daityasenā desires him, but I do not, O Pākaśāsana (Indra)!
सा हृता तेन भगवन्मुक्ताहं त्वद्बलेन तु ।
त्वया देवेन्द्र निर्दिष्टं पतिमिच्छामि दुर्जयम् ॥१९॥

यस्तु सर्वाणि भूतानि त्वया सह विजेष्यति ।

सोमं चैव महाभागं विशमानं दिवाकरम् ॥२६॥

tathā dharmagatam raudram somam sūryagatam ca tam
30. He (Indra) also saw the twenty-fourth conjunction (parvan) which was then near the sun (sūrya). Likewise, he saw that fierce moon (soma), following its natural law (dharma) and entering the sun (i.e., being eclipsed).

samavāyam tu tam raudram dṛṣṭvā śakraḥ vyacintayat
31. Having thoroughly observed the very oneness (conjunction) of the moon (śaśin) and the sun (bhāskara), and having seen that dreadful conjunction, Śakra (Indra) pondered.
एष रौद्रश्च संघातो महान्युक्तश्च तेजसा ।

ca tejasā somasya vahnisūryābhyām
adbhutaḥ ayam samāgamaḥ janayet yam
sutam somaḥ saḥ asyāḥ devyāḥ patiḥ bhavet
32. This is a great and fierce combination, endowed with splendor. This wonderful union of Soma (the moon) with Agni (fire) and Sūrya (the sun) is remarkable. The son whom Soma generates, he shall be the husband of this goddess.
अग्निश्चैतैर्गुणैर्युक्तः सर्वैरग्निश्च देवता ।

एवं संचिन्त्य भगवान्ब्रह्मलोकं तदा गतः ।
गृहीत्वा देवसेनां तामवन्दत्स पितामहम् ।

34. evaṁ saṁcintya bhagavānbrahmalokaṁ tadā gataḥ ,

tadā gataḥ gṛhītvā devasenām tām
avandat saḥ pitāमहम् uvāca ca asyāḥ
devyāḥ tvam sādhu śūram patim diśa
34. Having thus reflected, the revered one (Indra) then went to the world of Brahmā (brahman). Taking that Devāsenā, he bowed to the Grandfather (Brahmā) and said, 'Please properly grant a heroic husband to this goddess.'
ब्रह्मोवाच ।
यथैतच्चिन्तितं कार्यं त्वया दानवसूदन ।

tathā saḥ bhavitā garbhaḥ balavān uruvikramaḥ
35. Brahmā (brahman) said, 'O slayer of Dānavas (Indra), just as this plan has been conceived by you, so too will that offspring be powerful and possess great valor.'
स भविष्यति सेनानीस्त्वया सह शतक्रतो ।
अस्या देव्याः पतिश्चैव स भविष्यति वीर्यवान् ॥३६॥
36. sa bhaviṣyati senānīstvayā saha śatakrato ,

37. Mārkaṇḍeya said: Having heard this, he (Indra), along with the maiden, offered obeisance to him. Then the king of gods (Indra) went there, where the divine sages were - prominent Brahmin sages, led by Vasiṣṭha, practicing great vows.

38. Desiring their share of the Soma obtained through their ascetic practice (tapas), and also the Soma from the sacrifice, the gods, led by Śatakratu (Indra), went (there).
इष्टिं कृत्वा यथान्यायं सुसमिद्धे हुताशने ।

39. iṣṭiṁ kṛtvā yathānyāyaṁ susamiddhe hutāśane ,
juhuvuste mahātmāno havyaṁ sarvadivaukasām.
39. iṣṭiṃ kṛtvā yathānyāyam susamiddhe hutāśane
juhuvuḥ te mahātmānaḥ havyaṃ sarvadivaukasām
39. Having performed the oblation according to proper procedure in the well-kindled fire, those great-souled ones offered oblations (havya) to all the celestials.
समाहूतो हुतवहः सोऽद्भुतः सूर्यमण्डलात् ।
विनिःसृत्याययौ वह्निर्वाग्यतो विधिवत्प्रभुः ।
आगम्याहवनीयं वै तैर्द्विजैर्मन्त्रतो हुतम् ॥४०॥
40. samāhūto hutavahaḥ so'dbhutaḥ sūryamaṇḍalāt ,
viniḥsṛtyāyayau vahnirvāgyato vidhivatprabhuḥ ,
āgamyāhavanīyaṁ vai tairdvijairmantrato hutam.
40. samāhūtaḥ hutavahaḥ saḥ adbhutaḥ
sūryamaṇḍalāt viniḥsṛtya āyayau vahniḥ
vāgyataḥ vidhivat prabhuḥ āgamya āhavanīyaṃ
vai taiḥ dvijaiḥ mantrataḥ hutam
40. The amazing fire god (hutavaha), having been summoned, emerged from the solar orb. The lord (prabhu) Agni (vahni) then came forth, silent and acting ritually, to the āhavanīya fire, into which offerings had been made with mantras by those twice-born (dvijaiḥ).
स तत्र विविधं हव्यं प्रतिगृह्य हुताशनः ।
ऋषिभ्यो भरतश्रेष्ठ प्रायच्छत दिवौकसाम् ॥४१॥
41. sa tatra vividhaṁ havyaṁ pratigṛhya hutāśanaḥ ,
ṛṣibhyo bharataśreṣṭha prāyacchata divaukasām.
41. saḥ tatra vividhaṃ havyaṃ pratigṛhya hutāśanaḥ
ṛṣibhyaḥ bharataśreṣṭha prāyacchata divaukasām
41. O best of Bharatas (bharataśreṣṭha), that fire god (hutāśana), having received the various offerings (havyaṃ) there, then bestowed them upon the sages (ṛṣibhyaḥ) and the gods (divaukasām).
निष्क्रामंश्चाप्यपश्यत्स पत्नीस्तेषां महात्मनाम् ।
स्वेष्वाश्रमेषूपविष्टाः स्नायन्तीश्च यथासुखम् ॥४२॥
42. niṣkrāmaṁścāpyapaśyatsa patnīsteṣāṁ mahātmanām ,
sveṣvāśrameṣūpaviṣṭāḥ snāyantīśca yathāsukham.
42. niṣkrāman ca api apaśyat saḥ patnīḥ teṣāṃ mahātmanām
sveṣu āśrameṣu upaviṣṭāḥ snāyantīḥ ca yathāsukham
42. As he (Agni) departed, he also saw the wives of those great-souled sages (mahātmanām). These wives were seated in their own hermitages (āśrama) and bathing comfortably as they pleased.
रुक्मवेदिनिभास्तास्तु चन्द्रलेखा इवामलाः ।
हुताशनार्चिप्रतिमाः सर्वास्तारा इवाद्भुताः ॥४३॥
43. rukmavedinibhāstāstu candralekhā ivāmalāḥ ,
hutāśanārcipratimāḥ sarvāstārā ivādbhutāḥ.
43. rukmavedinibhāḥ tāḥ tu candralekhāḥ iva amalāḥ
hutāśanārcipratimāḥ sarvāḥ tārāḥ iva adbhutāḥ
43. Those wives, resembling golden altars (rukmavedinibhāḥ), were like spotless moon crescents (candralekhā). All of them were wonderful (adbhutāḥ), like stars and like the flames of fire (hutāśanārcipratimāḥ).
स तद्गतेन मनसा बभूव क्षुभितेन्द्रियः ।
पत्नीर्दृष्ट्वा द्विजेन्द्राणां वह्निः कामवशं ययौ ॥४४॥
44. sa tadgatena manasā babhūva kṣubhitendriyaḥ ,
patnīrdṛṣṭvā dvijendrāṇāṁ vahniḥ kāmavaśaṁ yayau.
44. sa tat-gatena manasā babhūva kṣubhita-indriyaḥ
patnīḥ dṛṣṭvā dvija-indrāṇām vahniḥ kāma-vaśam yayau
44. Agni, upon seeing the wives of the chief Brahmins, became agitated in his senses, his mind completely fixed on them. He fell under the sway of desire (kāma).
स भूयश्चिन्तयामास न न्याय्यं क्षुभितोऽस्मि यत् ।
साध्वीः पत्नीर्द्विजेन्द्राणामकामाः कामयाम्यहम् ॥४५॥
45. sa bhūyaścintayāmāsa na nyāyyaṁ kṣubhito'smi yat ,
sādhvīḥ patnīrdvijendrāṇāmakāmāḥ kāmayāmyaham.
45. sa bhūyaḥ cintayāmāsa na nyāyyam kṣubhitaḥ asmi yat
sādhvīḥ patnīḥ dvija-indrāṇām akāmāḥ kāmayāmi aham
45. He thought again, 'It is not proper that I am agitated, because I desire the chaste wives of the chief Brahmins, who are unwilling.'
नैताः शक्या मया द्रष्टुं स्प्रष्टुं वाप्यनिमित्ततः ।
गार्हपत्यं समाविश्य तस्मात्पश्याम्यभीक्ष्णशः ॥४६॥
46. naitāḥ śakyā mayā draṣṭuṁ spraṣṭuṁ vāpyanimittataḥ ,
gārhapatyaṁ samāviśya tasmātpaśyāmyabhīkṣṇaśaḥ.
46. na etāḥ śakyāḥ mayā draṣṭum spraṣṭum vā api a-nimitta-taḥ
gārhapatyam samāviśya tasmāt paśyāmi abhīkṣṇaśaḥ
46. It is not possible for me to see or even touch these women without a valid pretext. Therefore, I will constantly see them by entering into the domestic fire (gārhapatya).
संस्पृशन्निव सर्वास्ताः शिखाभिः काञ्चनप्रभाः ।
पश्यमानश्च मुमुदे गार्हपत्यं समाश्रितः ॥४७॥
47. saṁspṛśanniva sarvāstāḥ śikhābhiḥ kāñcanaprabhāḥ ,
paśyamānaśca mumude gārhapatyaṁ samāśritaḥ.
47. saṃspṛśan iva sarvāḥ tāḥ śikhābhiḥ kāñcana-prabhāḥ
paśyamānaḥ ca mumude gārhapatyam samāśritaḥ
47. Having taken refuge in the domestic fire (gārhapatya), he rejoiced, as he could behold all of them, as if touching them with his golden-shining flames.
निरुष्य तत्र सुचिरमेवं वह्निर्वशं गतः ।
मनस्तासु विनिक्षिप्य कामयानो वराङ्गनाः ॥४८॥
48. niruṣya tatra suciramevaṁ vahnirvaśaṁ gataḥ ,
manastāsu vinikṣipya kāmayāno varāṅganāḥ.
48. nirūṣya tatra suciram evam vahniḥ vaśam gataḥ
manaḥ tāsu vinikṣipya kāmayānaḥ varāṅganāḥ
48. After dwelling there for a very long time in this manner, Agni (vahni) became subdued. Fixing his mind on those excellent women, he desired them.
कामसंतप्तहृदयो देहत्यागे सुनिश्चितः ।
अलाभे ब्राह्मणस्त्रीणामग्निर्वनमुपागतः ॥४९॥
49. kāmasaṁtaptahṛdayo dehatyāge suniścitaḥ ,
alābhe brāhmaṇastrīṇāmagnirvanamupāgataḥ.
49. kāmasaṃtaptahṛdayaḥ dehatyāge suniścitaḥ
alābhe brāhmaṇastrīṇām agniḥ vanam upāgataḥ
49. His heart inflamed with desire, he (Agni) was resolved on abandoning his body. Due to his failure to obtain the Brahmin women, Agni (agni) went to the forest.
स्वाहा तं दक्षदुहिता प्रथमं कामयत्तदा ।
सा तस्य छिद्रमन्वैच्छच्चिरात्प्रभृति भामिनी ।
अप्रमत्तस्य देवस्य न चापश्यदनिन्दिता ॥५०॥
50. svāhā taṁ dakṣaduhitā prathamaṁ kāmayattadā ,
sā tasya chidramanvaicchaccirātprabhṛti bhāminī ,
apramattasya devasya na cāpaśyadaninditā.
50. svāhā tam dakṣaduhitā prathamam
kāmayat tadā sā tasya chidram anvaicchat
cirātprabhṛti bhāminī apramattasya
devasya na ca apaśyat aninditā
50. Then, Dakṣa's daughter, Svāhā, first desired him (Agni). That beautiful woman had been seeking his weakness for a long time, but the blameless one could find no fault in the vigilant god.
सा तं ज्ञात्वा यथावत्तु वह्निं वनमुपागतम् ।
तत्त्वतः कामसंतप्तं चिन्तयामास भामिनी ॥५१॥
51. sā taṁ jñātvā yathāvattu vahniṁ vanamupāgatam ,
tattvataḥ kāmasaṁtaptaṁ cintayāmāsa bhāminī.
51. sā tam jñātvā yathāvat tu vahnim vanam upāgatam
tattvataḥ kāmasaṃtaptam cintayāmāsa bhāminī
51. Upon truly knowing him, Agni (vahni), who had thus gone to the forest, and was fundamentally tormented by desire, that beautiful woman (Svāhā) deliberated.
अहं सप्तर्षिपत्नीनां कृत्वा रूपाणि पावकम् ।
कामयिष्यामि कामार्तं तासां रूपेण मोहितम् ।
एवं कृते प्रीतिरस्य कामावाप्तिश्च मे भवेत् ॥५२॥
52. ahaṁ saptarṣipatnīnāṁ kṛtvā rūpāṇi pāvakam ,
kāmayiṣyāmi kāmārtaṁ tāsāṁ rūpeṇa mohitam ,
evaṁ kṛte prītirasya kāmāvāptiśca me bhavet.
52. aham saptarṣipatnīnām kṛtvā rūpāṇi
pāvakam kāmayiṣyāmi kāmārtam
tāsām rūpeṇa mohitam evam kṛte
prītiḥ asya kāmāvāptiḥ ca me bhavet
52. Having assumed the forms of the wives of the seven sages, I will desire the fire god (Pāvaka), who is afflicted by (kāma) desire and enchanted by their appearances. When this is done, his delight and the fulfillment of my desire will be achieved.
