bhūyaḥ eva tu,
yat te vakṣyāmi,
tat śṛṇu yathā purā idam vṛttam devāsure yuddhe (āsa)
1. Duryodhana said: "O Lord of Madras, O mighty one, listen again to what I am about to tell you: how this event previously occurred in the war between the gods and asuras."
यदुक्तवान्पितुर्मह्यं मार्कण्डेयो महानृषिः ।
तदशेषेण ब्रुवतो मम राजर्षिसत्तम ।
त्वं निबोध न चाप्यत्र कर्तव्या ते विचारणा ॥२॥
2. yaduktavānpiturmahyaṁ mārkaṇḍeyo mahānṛṣiḥ ,

2. rājarṣisattama,
yat mahān mārkaṇḍeyaḥ ṛṣiḥ mahyam pituḥ uktavān,
tat mama bruvataḥ (tvam) aśeṣeṇa nibodha ca atra te vicāraṇā api na kartavyā
2. O best of royal sages, understand this fully from me as I narrate what the great sage Mārkaṇḍeya once told my father. There is no need for you to deliberate further on this matter.
देवानामसुराणां च महानासीत्समागमः ।
बभूव प्रथमो राजन्संग्रामस्तारकामयः ।
निर्जिताश्च तदा दैत्या दैवतैरिति नः श्रुतम् ॥३॥
3. devānāmasurāṇāṁ ca mahānāsītsamāgamaḥ ,

3. O King, there was a great assembly of the gods and asuras, and the first major battle (saṃgrāma), known as Tārakāmaya, occurred. We have heard that the Daityas were then conquered by the gods.
निर्जितेषु च दैत्येषु तारकस्य सुतास्त्रयः ।
ताराक्षः कमलाक्षश्च विद्युन्माली च पार्थिव ॥४॥
4. nirjiteṣu ca daityeṣu tārakasya sutāstrayaḥ ,

ca daityeṣu nirjiteṣu,
tārakasya trayaḥ sutāḥ (nāmatāḥ) tārākṣaḥ,
kamalākṣaḥ,

4. O King, when the Daityas were defeated, Tāraka's three sons were Tārākṣa, Kamalākṣa, and Vidyunmālī.
तप उग्रं समास्थाय नियमे परमे स्थिताः ।
तपसा कर्शयामासुर्देहान्स्वाञ्शत्रुतापन ॥५॥

5. śatrutāpana,

tapasā svān dehān karśayām āsuḥ.
5. O tormentor of enemies, having undertaken severe asceticism (tapas) and established themselves in supreme self-restraint (niyama), they emaciated their own bodies through that asceticism (tapas).
दमेन तपसा चैव नियमेन च पार्थिव ।
तेषां पितामहः प्रीतो वरदः प्रददौ वरान् ॥६॥
6. damena tapasā caiva niyamena ca pārthiva ,
teṣāṁ pitāmahaḥ prīto varadaḥ pradadau varān.
6. damena tapasā ca eva niyameana ca pārthiva

6. pārthiva,
teṣām pitāmahaḥ prītaḥ varadaḥ damena,
tapasā ca eva,
niyameana ca,
varān pradadau.
6. O King (pārthiva), their grandfather (Pitamaha), being pleased and a giver of boons, granted them boons through their self-control (dama), asceticism (tapas), and self-restraint (niyama).
अवध्यत्वं च ते राजन्सर्वभूतेषु सर्वदा ।
सहिता वरयामासुः सर्वलोकपितामहम् ॥७॥
7. avadhyatvaṁ ca te rājansarvabhūteṣu sarvadā ,
sahitā varayāmāsuḥ sarvalokapitāmaham.
7. avadhyatvam ca te rājan sarvabhūteṣu sarvadā

7. rājan,
te sahitāḥ,
sarvadā sarvabhūteṣu avadhyatvam ca,
sarvalokapitāmaham varayām āsuḥ.
7. O King, united, they always sought the state of invulnerability from all beings from the grandfather (Pitamaha) of all worlds.
तानब्रवीत्तदा देवो लोकानां प्रभुरीश्वरः ।
नास्ति सर्वामरत्वं हि निवर्तध्वमतोऽसुराः ।
वरमन्यं वृणीध्वं वै यादृशं संप्ररोचते ॥८॥
8. tānabravīttadā devo lokānāṁ prabhurīśvaraḥ ,
nāsti sarvāmaratvaṁ hi nivartadhvamato'surāḥ ,
varamanyaṁ vṛṇīdhvaṁ vai yādṛśaṁ saṁprarocate.
8. tān abravīt tadā devaḥ lokānām prabhuḥ
īśvaraḥ na asti sarvāmaratvam hi
nivartadhvam ataḥ asurāḥ varam
anyam vṛṇīdhvam vai yādṛśam samprarocate
8. tadā devaḥ,
lokānām prabhuḥ,
īśvaraḥ,
tān abravīt: "hi sarvāmaratvam na asti.
ataḥ asurāḥ nivartadhvam! vai anyam varam vṛṇīdhvam,
yādṛśam samprarocate.
"
8. Then the divine lord (īśvara), the master of the worlds, spoke to them: "Indeed, complete immortality is not possible. Therefore, O Asuras, withdraw your request! Choose another boon, whatever is agreeable to you."
ततस्ते सहिता राजन्संप्रधार्यासकृद्बहु ।
सर्वलोकेश्वरं वाक्यं प्रणम्यैनमथाब्रुवन् ॥९॥
9. tataste sahitā rājansaṁpradhāryāsakṛdbahu ,
sarvalokeśvaraṁ vākyaṁ praṇamyainamathābruvan.
9. tataḥ te sahitā rājan sampradhārya asakṛt bahu
sarvalokeśvaram vākyam praṇamya enam atha abruvan
9. rājan tataḥ te sahitā asakṛt bahu sampradhārya
sarvalokeśvaram praṇamya enam atha vākyam abruvan
9. O king, then, having repeatedly and extensively deliberated, they, united, bowed to the Lord of all worlds and then spoke this statement to him.
अस्माकं त्वं वरं देव प्रयच्छेमं पितामह ।
वयं पुराणि त्रीण्येव समास्थाय महीमिमाम् ।
विचरिष्याम लोकेऽस्मिंस्त्वत्प्रसादपुरस्कृताः ॥१०॥
10. asmākaṁ tvaṁ varaṁ deva prayacchemaṁ pitāmaha ,
vayaṁ purāṇi trīṇyeva samāsthāya mahīmimām ,
vicariṣyāma loke'smiṁstvatprasādapuraskṛtāḥ.
10. asmākam tvam varam deva prayaccha
imam pitāmaha vayam purāṇi trīṇi
eva samāsthāya mahīm imām vicariṣyāma
loke asmin tvatprasādapuraskṛtāḥ
10. deva pitāmaha tvam asmākam imam
varam prayaccha vayam imām mahīm trīṇi
eva purāṇi samāsthāya asmin loke
tvatprasādapuraskṛtāḥ vicariṣyāma
10. O divine grandfather (pitāmaha), grant us this boon! We, having established ourselves in these three cities, shall wander this earth, empowered by your grace.
ततो वर्षसहस्रे तु समेष्यामः परस्परम् ।
एकीभावं गमिष्यन्ति पुराण्येतानि चानघ ॥११॥
11. tato varṣasahasre tu sameṣyāmaḥ parasparam ,
ekībhāvaṁ gamiṣyanti purāṇyetāni cānagha.
11. tataḥ varṣasahasre tu sameṣyāmaḥ parasparam
ekībhāvam gamiṣyanti purāṇi etāni ca anagha
11. anagha tataḥ tu varṣasahasre (gate) vayam parasparam
sameṣyāmaḥ ca etāni purāṇi ekībhāvam gamiṣyanti
11. Then, after a thousand years, we shall unite with each other. And these cities, O sinless one (anagha), will achieve a state of oneness.
समागतानि चैतानि यो हन्याद्भगवंस्तदा ।
एकेषुणा देववरः स नो मृत्युर्भविष्यति ।
एवमस्त्विति तान्देवः प्रत्युक्त्वा प्राविशद्दिवम् ॥१२॥
12. samāgatāni caitāni yo hanyādbhagavaṁstadā ,
ekeṣuṇā devavaraḥ sa no mṛtyurbhaviṣyati ,
evamastviti tāndevaḥ pratyuktvā prāviśaddivam.
12. samāgatāni ca etāni yaḥ hanyāt
bhagavan tadā ekeṣuṇā devavaraḥ sa naḥ
mṛtyuḥ bhaviṣyati evam astu iti
tān devaḥ pratyuktvā prāviśat divam
12. bhagavan tadā yaḥ ekeṣuṇā etāni samāgatāni ca hanyāt,
sa devavaraḥ naḥ mṛtyuḥ bhaviṣyati.
devaḥ tān "evam astu" iti pratyuktvā divam prāviśat
12. O Lord (bhagavan), whoever destroys these cities when they are united, that best of gods, with a single arrow, will be the cause of our death. Having said "So be it" to them, the god entered heaven.
ते तु लब्धवराः प्रीताः संप्रधार्य परस्परम् ।
पुरत्रयविसृष्ट्यर्थं मयं वव्रुर्महासुरम् ।
विश्वकर्माणमजरं दैत्यदानवपूजितम् ॥१३॥
13. te tu labdhavarāḥ prītāḥ saṁpradhārya parasparam ,
puratrayavisṛṣṭyarthaṁ mayaṁ vavrurmahāsuram ,
viśvakarmāṇamajaraṁ daityadānavapūjitam.
13. te tu labdhavarāḥ prītāḥ sampradhārya
parasparam puratrayavisṛṣṭyartham
mayam vavruḥ mahāsuram
viśvakarmāṇam ajaram daityadānavapūjitam
13. te labdhavarāḥ prītāḥ tu parasparam
sampradhārya puratrayavisṛṣṭyartham
mayam mahāsuram ajaram
viśvakarmāṇam daityadānavapūjitam vavruḥ
13. But they, having obtained boons, joyfully deliberated among themselves. For the creation of the three cities, they chose Maya, the great Asura, the imperishable architect, revered by the Daityas and Dānavas.
ततो मयः स्वतपसा चक्रे धीमान्पुराणि ह ।
त्रीणि काञ्चनमेकं तु रौप्यं कार्ष्णायसं तथा ॥१४॥
14. tato mayaḥ svatapasā cakre dhīmānpurāṇi ha ,
trīṇi kāñcanamekaṁ tu raupyaṁ kārṣṇāyasaṁ tathā.
14. tataḥ mayaḥ svatapasā cakre dhīmān purāṇi ha
trīṇi kāñcanam ekam tu raupyam kārṣṇāyasam tathā
14. tataḥ dhīmān mayaḥ svatapasā purāṇi ha trīṇi
cakre tu ekam kāñcanam raupyam kārṣṇāyasam tathā
14. Then, the wise Maya, through his own spiritual discipline (tapas), indeed created cities: one golden, one silver, and another made of black iron.
काञ्चनं दिवि तत्रासीदन्तरिक्षे च राजतम् ।
आयसं चाभवद्भूमौ चक्रस्थं पृथिवीपते ॥१५॥
15. kāñcanaṁ divi tatrāsīdantarikṣe ca rājatam ,
āyasaṁ cābhavadbhūmau cakrasthaṁ pṛthivīpate.
15. kāñcanam divi tatra āsīt antarikṣe ca rājatam
āyasam ca abhavat bhūmau cakrastham pṛthivīpate
15. pṛthivīpate tatra divi kāñcanam āsīt ca antarikṣe
rājatam (āsīt) ca bhūmau āyasam cakrastham abhavat
15. The golden city was in the sky there, and the silver one in the atmosphere. And, O lord of the earth, the iron city was on the ground, situated on a wheel.
एकैकं योजनशतं विस्तारायामसंमितम् ।
गृहाट्टाट्टालकयुतं बृहत्प्राकारतोरणम् ॥१६॥
16. ekaikaṁ yojanaśataṁ vistārāyāmasaṁmitam ,
gṛhāṭṭāṭṭālakayutaṁ bṛhatprākāratoraṇam.
16. ekaikam yojanaśatam vistārāyāmasaṃmitam
gṛhāṭṭāṭṭālakayutam bṛhatprākāratoraṇam
16. ekaikam yojanaśatam vistārāyāmasaṃmitam (āsīt)
gṛhāṭṭāṭṭālakayutam (āsīt) bṛhatprākāratoraṇam (āsīt)
16. Each city measured one hundred yojanas in both breadth and length, furnished with dwellings and watchtowers, and possessing great ramparts and gateways.
गुणप्रसवसंबाधमसंबाधमनामयम् ।
प्रासादैर्विविधैश्चैव द्वारैश्चाप्युपशोभितम् ॥१७॥
17. guṇaprasavasaṁbādhamasaṁbādhamanāmayam ,
prāsādairvividhaiścaiva dvāraiścāpyupaśobhitam.
17. guṇaprasavasaṃbādham asaṃbādham anāmayam prāsādaiḥ
vividhaiḥ ca eva dvāraiḥ ca api upaśobhitam
17. It was dense with the manifestation of qualities (guṇas), yet unobstructed and free from affliction. It was also splendidly adorned with various palaces and gates.
पुरेषु चाभवन्राजन्राजानो वै पृथक्पृथक् ।
काञ्चनं तारकाक्षस्य चित्रमासीन्महात्मनः ।
राजतं कमलाक्षस्य विद्युन्मालिन आयसम् ॥१८॥
18. pureṣu cābhavanrājanrājāno vai pṛthakpṛthak ,
kāñcanaṁ tārakākṣasya citramāsīnmahātmanaḥ ,
rājataṁ kamalākṣasya vidyunmālina āyasam.
18. purīṣu ca abhavan rājan rājānaḥ vai
pṛthak pṛthak kāñcanam tārakākṣasya
citram āsīt mahātmanaḥ rājatam
kamalākṣasya vidyunmālinaḥ āyasam
18. And in those cities, O King, there were separate kings, each ruling his own. Tārakākṣa, that great being, possessed a splendid golden city. Kamalākṣa had a silver city, and Vidyunmālin possessed one made of iron.
त्रयस्ते दैत्यराजानस्त्रीँल्लोकानाशु तेजसा ।
आक्रम्य तस्थुर्वर्षाणां पूगान्नाम प्रजापतिः ॥१९॥
19. trayaste daityarājānastrīँllokānāśu tejasā ,
ākramya tasthurvarṣāṇāṁ pūgānnāma prajāpatiḥ.
19. trayaḥ te daityarājānaḥ trīn lokān āśu tejasā
ākramya tasthuḥ varṣāṇām pūgān nāma prajāpatiḥ
19. Those three demon kings, by their splendor (tejas), swiftly conquered the three worlds and remained established there for multitudes of years, as ordained by Prajāpati.
तेषां दानवमुख्यानां प्रयुतान्यर्बुदानि च ।
कोट्यश्चाप्रतिवीराणां समाजग्मुस्ततस्ततः ।
महदैश्वर्यमिच्छन्तस्त्रिपुरं दुर्गमाश्रिताः ॥२०॥
20. teṣāṁ dānavamukhyānāṁ prayutānyarbudāni ca ,
koṭyaścāprativīrāṇāṁ samājagmustatastataḥ ,
mahadaiśvaryamicchantastripuraṁ durgamāśritāḥ.
20. teṣām dānavamukhyānām prayutāni
arbudāni ca koṭyaḥ ca aprativīrāṇām
samājagmuḥ tatas tataḥ mahat aiśvaryam
icchantas tripuram durgam āśritāḥ
20. Myriads, billions, and crores of those chief Dānavas, unrivaled warriors, came from various places. Desiring great dominion, they took refuge in the Triple City, that formidable fortress.
सर्वेषां च पुनस्तेषां सर्वयोगवहो मयः ।
तमाश्रित्य हि ते सर्वे अवर्तन्ताकुतोभयाः ॥२१॥
21. sarveṣāṁ ca punasteṣāṁ sarvayogavaho mayaḥ ,
tamāśritya hi te sarve avartantākutobhayāḥ.
21. sarveṣām ca punaḥ teṣām sarvayogavahaḥ mayaḥ
tam āśritya hi te sarve avartanta akutobhayāḥ
21. ca punaḥ teṣām sarveṣām mayaḥ sarvayogavahaḥ
hi tam āśritya te sarve akutobhayāḥ avartanta
21. And again, among all of them, Maya was the one who managed all their undertakings. Indeed, all of them, relying on him, lived fearlessly.
यो हि यं मनसा कामं दध्यौ त्रिपुरसंश्रयः ।
तस्मै कामं मयस्तं तं विदधे मायया तदा ॥२२॥
22. yo hi yaṁ manasā kāmaṁ dadhyau tripurasaṁśrayaḥ ,
tasmai kāmaṁ mayastaṁ taṁ vidadhe māyayā tadā.
22. yaḥ hi yam manasā kāmam dadhyau tripurasaṃśrayaḥ
tasmai kāmam mayaḥ tam tam vidadhe māyayā tadā
22. hi yaḥ tripurasaṃśrayaḥ yam kāmam manasā dadhyau
tadā mayaḥ tasmai tam tam kāmam māyayā vidadhe
22. Indeed, whichever desire one residing in Tripura conceived in his mind, Maya then granted him that very desire through his magical power (māyā).
तारकाक्षसुतश्चासीद्धरिर्नाम महाबलः ।
तपस्तेपे परमकं येनातुष्यत्पितामहः ॥२३॥
23. tārakākṣasutaścāsīddharirnāma mahābalaḥ ,
tapastepe paramakaṁ yenātuṣyatpitāmahaḥ.
23. tārakākṣasutaḥ ca āsīt hariḥ nāma mahābalaḥ
tapaḥ tepe paramakam yena atuṣyat pitāmahaḥ
23. ca tārakākṣasutaḥ hariḥ nāma mahābalaḥ āsīt
saḥ paramakam tapaḥ tepe yena pitāmahaḥ atuṣyat
23. And there was a very mighty son of Tārakākṣa, named Hari. He performed supreme austerity (tapas), by which the grandfather (Brahmā) was pleased.
स तुष्टमवृणोद्देवं वापी भवतु नः पुरे ।
शस्त्रैर्विनिहता यत्र क्षिप्ताः स्युर्बलवत्तराः ॥२४॥
24. sa tuṣṭamavṛṇoddevaṁ vāpī bhavatu naḥ pure ,
śastrairvinihatā yatra kṣiptāḥ syurbalavattarāḥ.
24. saḥ tuṣṭam avṛṇot devam vāpī bhavatu naḥ pure
śastraiḥ vinihatāḥ yatra kṣiptāḥ syuḥ balavattarāḥ
24. saḥ tuṣṭam devam avṛṇot naḥ pure vāpī bhavatu
yatra śastraiḥ vinihatāḥ kṣiptāḥ balavattarāḥ syuḥ
24. He then asked the pleased god, 'Let there be a pond in our city, where those slain by weapons, when thrown in, would become even mightier.'
स तु लब्ध्वा वरं वीरस्तारकाक्षसुतो हरिः ।
ससृजे तत्र वापीं तां मृतानां जीवनीं प्रभो ॥२५॥
25. sa tu labdhvā varaṁ vīrastārakākṣasuto hariḥ ,
sasṛje tatra vāpīṁ tāṁ mṛtānāṁ jīvanīṁ prabho.
25. saḥ tu labdhvā varam vīraḥ tārakākṣasutaḥ hariḥ
sasṛje tatra vāpīm tām mṛtānām jīvanīm prabho
25. saḥ tu vīraḥ tārakākṣasutaḥ hariḥ varam labdhvā
tatra tām mṛtānām jīvanīm vāpīm sasṛje prabho
25. But that hero, Hari, the son of Tārakākṣa, having obtained a boon, created there, O lord, that pond which was capable of bringing the dead back to life.
येन रूपेण दैत्यस्तु येन वेषेण चैव ह ।
मृतस्तस्यां परिक्षिप्तस्तादृशेनैव जज्ञिवान् ॥२६॥
26. yena rūpeṇa daityastu yena veṣeṇa caiva ha ,
mṛtastasyāṁ parikṣiptastādṛśenaiva jajñivān.
26. yena rūpeṇa daityaḥ tu yena veṣeṇa ca eva ha
mṛtaḥ tasyām parikṣiptaḥ tādṛśena eva jajñivān
26. yena rūpeṇa ca yena veṣeṇa daityaḥ mṛtaḥ tasyām parikṣiptaḥ,
saḥ tādṛśena eva jajñivān
26. Whatever form or guise a demon had when he died and was cast into that pond, he was reborn in precisely that same form.
तां प्राप्य त्रैपुरस्थास्तु सर्वाँल्लोकान्बबाधिरे ।
महता तपसा सिद्धाः सुराणां भयवर्धनाः ।
न तेषामभवद्राजन्क्षयो युद्धे कथंचन ॥२७॥
27. tāṁ prāpya traipurasthāstu sarvāँllokānbabādhire ,
mahatā tapasā siddhāḥ surāṇāṁ bhayavardhanāḥ ,
na teṣāmabhavadrājankṣayo yuddhe kathaṁcana.
27. tām prāpya traipurastāḥ tu sarvān
lokān babādhire mahatā tapasā siddhāḥ
surāṇām bhayavardhanāḥ na teṣām
abhavat rājan kṣayaḥ yuddhe kathaṃcana
27. rājan tām prāpya traipurastāḥ tu mahatā tapasā siddhāḥ surāṇām bhayavardhanāḥ sarvān lokān babādhire,
yuddhe teṣām kathaṃcana kṣayaḥ na abhavat
27. Having acquired that (pond), those residing in Tripura, who had achieved great power (siddhi) through severe asceticism (tapas) and were a cause of increasing fear for the gods, began to oppress all worlds. O king, there was never any destruction for them in battle by any means.
ततस्ते लोभमोहाभ्यामभिभूता विचेतसः ।
निर्ह्रीकाः संस्थितिं सर्वे स्थापितां समलूलुपन् ॥२८॥
28. tataste lobhamohābhyāmabhibhūtā vicetasaḥ ,
nirhrīkāḥ saṁsthitiṁ sarve sthāpitāṁ samalūlupan.
28. tataḥ te lobhamohābhyām abhibhūtāḥ vicetasaḥ
nirhrīkāḥ saṃsthitim sarve sthāpitām samalūlupan
28. tataḥ sarve te lobhamohābhyām abhibhūtāḥ vicetasaḥ
nirhrīkāḥ sthāpitām saṃsthitim samalūlupan
28. Then all of them, overcome by greed and delusion, became senseless and shameless, and they violated the established order.
विद्राव्य सगणान्देवांस्तत्र तत्र तदा तदा ।
विचेरुः स्वेन कामेन वरदानेन दर्पिताः ॥२९॥
29. vidrāvya sagaṇāndevāṁstatra tatra tadā tadā ,
viceruḥ svena kāmena varadānena darpitāḥ.
29. vidrāvya sagaṇān devān tatra tatra tadā tadā
viceruḥ svena kāmena varadānena darpitāḥ
29. varadānena darpitāḥ sagaṇān devān tatra
tatra tadā tadā vidrāvya svena kāmena viceruḥ
29. Having scattered the gods along with their hosts repeatedly in various places, they roamed as they pleased, arrogant due to the boon.
देवारण्यानि सर्वाणि प्रियाणि च दिवौकसाम् ।
ऋषीणामाश्रमान्पुण्यान्यूपाञ्जनपदांस्तथा ।
व्यनाशयन्त मर्यादा दानवा दुष्टचारिणः ॥३०॥
30. devāraṇyāni sarvāṇi priyāṇi ca divaukasām ,
ṛṣīṇāmāśramānpuṇyānyūpāñjanapadāṁstathā ,
vyanāśayanta maryādā dānavā duṣṭacāriṇaḥ.
30. devāraṇyāni sarvāṇi priyāṇi ca
divaukasām ṛṣīṇām āśramān puṇyān
yūpān janapadān tathā vyanāśayanta
maryādāḥ dānavāḥ duṣṭacāriṇaḥ
30. duṣṭacāriṇaḥ dānavāḥ ca divaukasām
priyāṇi sarvāṇi devāraṇyāni
ṛṣīṇām puṇyān āśramān yūpān janapadān
tathā maryādāḥ vyanāśayanta
30. And the wicked demons (dānava), destructive in their ways, utterly destroyed all the divine forests dear to the gods, the sacred hermitages (āśrama) of the sages, the sacrificial posts (yūpa), the populated regions, and also the established norms.
ते देवाः सहिताः सर्वे पितामहमरिंदम ।
अभिजग्मुस्तदाख्यातुं विप्रकारं सुरेतरैः ॥३१॥
31. te devāḥ sahitāḥ sarve pitāmahamariṁdama ,
abhijagmustadākhyātuṁ viprakāraṁ suretaraiḥ.
31. te devāḥ sahitāḥ sarve pitāmaham ariṁdama
abhijagmuḥ tadā ākhyātum viprakāram suretaraiḥ
31. te sahitāḥ sarve devāḥ tadā pitāmaham abhijagmuḥ
suretaraiḥ viprakāram ākhyātum ariṁdama
31. Then, all those assembled gods approached the grandfather (Brahma), O vanquisher of foes, in order to relate the harm inflicted upon them by the demons (suretara).

96. The god then said to them again, "Indeed, whoever is superior to me, choose him as my charioteer yourselves, and do not delay."
एतच्छ्रुत्वा ततो देवा वाक्यमुक्तं महात्मना ।
गत्वा पितामहं देवं प्रसाद्यैवं वचोऽब्रुवन् ॥९७॥
97. etacchrutvā tato devā vākyamuktaṁ mahātmanā ,
gatvā pitāmahaṁ devaṁ prasādyaivaṁ vaco'bruvan.
97. etat śrutvā tataḥ devāḥ vākyam uktam mahātmanā
gatvā pitāmaham devam prasādya evam vacaḥ abruvan
97. devāḥ mahātmanā uktam etat vākyam śrutvā tataḥ
pitāmaham devam gatvā prasādya evam vacaḥ abruvan
97. Having heard these words spoken by the great soul, the gods then went to the divine grandfather (Brahma), and after appeasing him, they spoke these words.
देव त्वयेदं कथितं त्रिदशारिनिबर्हणम् ।
तथा च कृतमस्माभिः प्रसन्नो वृषभध्वजः ॥९८॥
98. deva tvayedaṁ kathitaṁ tridaśārinibarhaṇam ,
tathā ca kṛtamasmābhiḥ prasanno vṛṣabhadhvajaḥ.
98. deva tvayā idam kathitam tridaśārinibarhaṇam
tathā ca kṛtam asmābhiḥ prasannaḥ vṛṣabhadhvajaḥ
98. deva tvayā idam tridaśārinibarhaṇam kathitam ca tathā
asmābhiḥ kṛtam [asti] vṛṣabhadhvajaḥ prasannaḥ [asti]
98. O God, you had spoken of this destruction of the enemies of the gods. And indeed, it has been accomplished by us, and Lord Shiva (Vṛṣabhadhvaja) is pleased.
रथश्च विहितोऽस्माभिर्विचित्रायुधसंवृतः ।
सारथिं तु न जानीमः कः स्यात्तस्मिन्रथोत्तमे ॥९९॥
99. rathaśca vihito'smābhirvicitrāyudhasaṁvṛtaḥ ,
sārathiṁ tu na jānīmaḥ kaḥ syāttasminrathottame.
99. rathaḥ ca vihitaḥ asmābhiḥ vicitrāyudhasaṃvṛtaḥ
sārathim tu na jānīmaḥ kaḥ syāt tasmin ratha uttamē
99. ca rathaḥ asmābhiḥ vicitrāyudhasaṃvṛtaḥ vihitaḥ tu
sārathim na jānīmaḥ kaḥ tasmin ratha uttamē syāt
99. And a chariot, equipped with various weapons, has been prepared by us. But we do not know who might be the charioteer for that supreme chariot.
तस्माद्विधीयतां कश्चित्सारथिर्देवसत्तम ।
सफलां तां गिरं देव कर्तुमर्हसि नो विभो ॥१००॥
100. tasmādvidhīyatāṁ kaścitsārathirdevasattama ,
saphalāṁ tāṁ giraṁ deva kartumarhasi no vibho.
100. tasmāt vidhīyatām kaścit sārathiḥ devasattama
saphalām tām giram deva kartum arhasi naḥ vibho
100. tasmāt devasattama kaścit sārathiḥ vidhīyatām
deva vibho naḥ tām giram saphalām kartum arhasi
100. Therefore, O best among gods, please appoint someone as a charioteer. O divine Lord, you ought to make our word successful.
एवमस्मासु हि पुरा भगवन्नुक्तवानसि ।
हितं कर्तास्मि भवतामिति तत्कर्तुमर्हसि ॥१०१॥
101. evamasmāsu hi purā bhagavannuktavānasi ,
hitaṁ kartāsmi bhavatāmiti tatkartumarhasi.
101. evam asmāsu hi purā bhagavan uktavān asi hitam
kartā asmi bhavatām iti tat kartum arhasi
101. Bhagavan,
evam asmāsu purā hi (tvam) uktavān asi iti (yat) "aham bhavatām hitam kartā asmi" Tat kartum arhasi .
101. O revered one (bhagavan), you indeed told us previously, 'I will act for your welfare.' Therefore, you should now do that.
स देव युक्तो रथसत्तमो नो दुरावरो द्रावणः शात्रवाणाम् ।
पिनाकपाणिर्विहितोऽत्र योद्धा विभीषयन्दानवानुद्यतोऽसौ ॥१०२॥
102. sa deva yukto rathasattamo no; durāvaro drāvaṇaḥ śātravāṇām ,
pinākapāṇirvihito'tra yoddhā; vibhīṣayandānavānudyato'sau.
102. sa deva yuktaḥ rathasattamaḥ naḥ
durāvaraḥ drāvaṇaḥ śātravāṇām
pinākapāṇiḥ vihitaḥ atra yoddhā
vibhīṣayan dānavān udyataḥ asau
102. Deva,
saḥ naḥ rathasattamaḥ durāvaraḥ śātravāṇām drāvaṇaḥ (rathaḥ) atra pinākapāṇiḥ yoddhā vihitaḥ (asti) Asau dānavān vibhīṣayan udyataḥ (asti) .
102. O divine one, that best of chariots of ours, hard to restrain and capable of routing enemies, has been appointed here, with Pinaka in hand, as a warrior. He stands ready, terrifying the Dānavas.
तथैव वेदाश्चतुरो हयाग्र्या धरा सशैला च रथो महात्मन् ।
नक्षत्रवंशोऽनुगतो वरूथे यस्मिन्योद्धा सारथिनाभिरक्ष्यः ॥१०३॥
103. tathaiva vedāścaturo hayāgryā; dharā saśailā ca ratho mahātman ,
nakṣatravaṁśo'nugato varūthe; yasminyoddhā sārathinābhirakṣyaḥ.
103. tathā eva vedāḥ caturaḥ hayāgrhyāḥ
dharā saśailā ca rathaḥ mahātman
nakṣatravaṃśaḥ anugataḥ varūthe
yasmin yoddhā sārathinā abhirakṣyaḥ
103. Mahātman,
tathā eva ca caturaḥ hayāgrhyāḥ vedāḥ (santi),
saśailā dharā ca rathaḥ (asti) Yasmin varūthe nakṣatravaṃśaḥ anugataḥ (asti),
(tatra) yoddhā sārathinā abhirakṣyaḥ (asti) .
103. O great soul (mahātman), similarly, the four excellent Vedas are the horses, and the earth with its mountains is the chariot. The host of constellations follows within the chariot's protective body (varūtha), in which the warrior is to be guarded by the charioteer.
तत्र सारथिरेष्टव्यः सर्वैरेतैर्विशेषवान् ।
तत्प्रतिष्ठो रथो देव हया योद्धा तथैव च ।
कवचानि च शस्त्राणि कार्मुकं च पितामह ॥१०४॥
104. tatra sārathireṣṭavyaḥ sarvairetairviśeṣavān ,
tatpratiṣṭho ratho deva hayā yoddhā tathaiva ca ,
kavacāni ca śastrāṇi kārmukaṁ ca pitāmaha.
104. tatra sārathiḥ eṣṭavyaḥ sarvaiḥ etaiḥ
viśeṣavān tatpratiṣṭhaḥ rathaḥ
deva hayāḥ yoddhā tathā eva ca kavacāni
ca śastrāṇi kārmukam ca pitāmaha
104. Deva,
Pitāmaha,
tatra (etaiḥ) sarvaiḥ viśeṣavān sārathiḥ eṣṭavyaḥ (asti) Tatpratiṣṭhaḥ (saḥ sārathiḥ) eva rathaḥ,
hayāḥ,
yoddhā,
tathā eva ca kavacāni,
śastrāṇi,
kārmukam ca (bhavanti) .
104. O divine one, O Grandfather (pitāmaha), in that matter, an excellent charioteer, endowed with special qualities, should be chosen by all these. The chariot, the horses, the warrior, and likewise the armors, weapons, and the bow, all depend on that (charioteer).
त्वामृते सारथिं तत्र नान्यं पश्यामहे वयम् ।
त्वं हि सर्वैर्गुणैर्युक्तो देवताभ्योऽधिकः प्रभो ।
सारथ्ये तूर्णमारोह संयच्छ परमान्हयान् ॥१०५॥
105. tvāmṛte sārathiṁ tatra nānyaṁ paśyāmahe vayam ,
tvaṁ hi sarvairguṇairyukto devatābhyo'dhikaḥ prabho ,
sārathye tūrṇamāroha saṁyaccha paramānhayān.
105. tvām ṛte sārathim tatra na anyam
paśyāmahe vayam tvam hi sarvaiḥ guṇaiḥ
yuktaḥ devatābhyaḥ adhikaḥ prabho sārathye
tūrṇam āroha samyaccha paramān hayān
105. prabho vayam tatra tvām ṛte anyam
sārathim na paśyāmahe tvam hi sarvaiḥ
guṇaiḥ yuktaḥ devatābhyaḥ adhikaḥ tūrṇam
sārathye āroha paramān hayān samyaccha
105. O Lord, we see no other charioteer there apart from you. Indeed, you are endowed with all excellent qualities and are superior even to the gods. Quickly ascend to the charioteer's seat and control the supreme horses.
इति ते शिरसा नत्वा त्रिलोकेशं पितामहम् ।
देवाः प्रसादयामासुः सारथ्यायेति नः श्रुतम् ॥१०६॥
106. iti te śirasā natvā trilokeśaṁ pitāmaham ,
devāḥ prasādayāmāsuḥ sārathyāyeti naḥ śrutam.
106. iti te śirasā natvā trilokeśam pitāmaham devāḥ
prasādayām āsuḥ sārathyāya iti naḥ śrutam
106. iti te devāḥ śirasā trilokeśam pitāmaham natvā
sārathyāya prasādayām āsuḥ iti naḥ śrutam
106. Thus, bowing their heads to that Grandfather (Brahmā), the Lord of the three worlds, the gods propitiated him for the role of charioteer; so we have heard.
ब्रह्मोवाच ।
नात्र किंचिन्मृषा वाक्यं यदुक्तं वो दिवौकसः ।
संयच्छामि हयानेष युध्यतो वै कपर्दिनः ॥१०७॥
107. brahmovāca ,
nātra kiṁcinmṛṣā vākyaṁ yaduktaṁ vo divaukasaḥ ,
saṁyacchāmi hayāneṣa yudhyato vai kapardinaḥ.
107. brahmā uvāca na atra kiñcit mṛṣā vākyam yat uktam vaḥ
divaukasaḥ samyacchāmi hayān eṣa yudhyataḥ vai kapardinaḥ
107. brahmā uvāca he divaukasaḥ atra vaḥ yat vākyam uktam kiñcit
mṛṣā na eṣa yudhyataḥ kapardinaḥ hayān vai samyacchāmi
107. Brahmā said: 'O dwellers of heaven, there is nothing false in what you have said. Indeed, I shall control the horses for this Kapardin (Śiva) as he fights.'
ततः स भगवान्देवो लोकस्रष्टा पितामहः ।
सारथ्ये कल्पितो देवैरीशानस्य महात्मनः ॥१०८॥
108. tataḥ sa bhagavāndevo lokasraṣṭā pitāmahaḥ ,
sārathye kalpito devairīśānasya mahātmanaḥ.
108. tataḥ saḥ bhagavān devaḥ lokasraṣṭā pitāmahaḥ
sārathye kalpitaḥ devaiḥ īśānasya mahātmanaḥ
108. tataḥ saḥ bhagavān devaḥ lokasraṣṭā pitāmahaḥ
devaiḥ mahātmanaḥ īśānasya sārathye kalpitaḥ
108. Then, that divine and revered Grandfather (Brahmā), the creator of the worlds, was appointed by the gods for the charioteer's role of the great-souled Īśāna (Śiva).
तस्मिन्नारोहति क्षिप्रं स्यन्दनं लोकपूजिते ।
शिरोभिरगमंस्तूर्णं ते हया वातरंहसः ॥१०९॥
109. tasminnārohati kṣipraṁ syandanaṁ lokapūjite ,
śirobhiragamaṁstūrṇaṁ te hayā vātaraṁhasaḥ.
109. tasmin ārohati kṣipraṃ syandanaṃ lokapūjite
śirobhiḥ agaman tūrṇaṃ te hayāḥ vātarāṃhasaḥ
109. lokapūjite tasmin kṣipraṃ syandanaṃ ārohati
te vātarāṃhasaḥ hayāḥ śirobhiḥ tūrṇaṃ agaman
109. When that deity, revered by all worlds, quickly mounted the chariot, those horses, swift as the wind, swiftly moved forward, leading with their heads.
महेश्वरे त्वारुहति
जानुभ्यामगमन्महीम् ॥११०॥
110. maheśvare tvāruhati
jānubhyāmagamanmahīm.
110. maheśvare tu āruhati
jānubhyām agaman mahīm
110. tu maheśvare āruhati (te)
jānubhyām mahīm agaman
110. But when Maheśvara mounted, they (the horses) touched the earth with their knees (i.e., knelt down).
अभीशून्हि त्रिलोकेशः संगृह्य प्रपितामहः ।
तानश्वांश्चोदयामास मनोमारुतरंहसः ॥१११॥
111. abhīśūnhi trilokeśaḥ saṁgṛhya prapitāmahaḥ ,
tānaśvāṁścodayāmāsa manomārutaraṁhasaḥ.
111. abhīśūn hi trilokeśaḥ saṃgṛhya prapitāmahaḥ
tān aśvān ca codayāmāsa manomārutaraṃhasaḥ
111. hi trilokeśaḥ prapitāmahaḥ abhīśūn saṃgṛhya
tān manomārutaraṃhasaḥ aśvān ca codayāmāsa
111. Indeed, the Lord of the three worlds, the great grandfather (Prapitāmaha), having grasped the reins, drove those horses, whose speed was like that of the mind and the wind.
ततोऽधिरूढे वरदे प्रयाते चासुरान्प्रति ।
साधु साध्विति विश्वेशः स्मयमानोऽभ्यभाषत ॥११२॥
112. tato'dhirūḍhe varade prayāte cāsurānprati ,
sādhu sādhviti viśveśaḥ smayamāno'bhyabhāṣata.
112. tataḥ adhirūḍhe varade prayāte ca asurān prati
sādhu sādhu iti viśveśaḥ smayamānaḥ abhyabhāṣata
112. tataḥ varade adhirūḍhe ca asurān prati prayāte
viśveśaḥ smayamānaḥ "sādhu sādhu" iti abhyabhāṣata
112. Then, when the boon-giver (Maheśvara) had mounted and set off towards the Asuras, the Lord of the universe, smiling, said, "Excellent! Excellent!"
याहि देव यतो दैत्याश्चोदयाश्वानतन्द्रितः ।
पश्य बाह्वोर्बलं मेऽद्य निघ्नतः शात्रवान्रणे ॥११३॥
113. yāhi deva yato daityāścodayāśvānatandritaḥ ,
paśya bāhvorbalaṁ me'dya nighnataḥ śātravānraṇe.
113. yāhi deva yataḥ daityāḥ codaya aśvān atandritaḥ
paśya bāhvoḥ balam me adya nighnataḥ śātravān raṇe
113. deva,
yataḥ daityāḥ (santi),
(tatra) yāhi.
atandritaḥ aśvān codaya.
adya raṇe śātravān nighnataḥ me bāhvoḥ balam paśya.
113. Go, O god, to where the demons are; tirelessly urge the horses on. Today, witness the strength of my arms as I strike down the enemies in battle.
ततस्तांश्चोदयामास वायुवेगसमाञ्जवे ।
येन तत्त्रिपुरं राजन्दैत्यदानवरक्षितम् ॥११४॥
114. tatastāṁścodayāmāsa vāyuvegasamāñjave ,
yena tattripuraṁ rājandaityadānavarakṣitam.
114. tataḥ tān codayāmāsa vāyuvegasamān jave yena
tat tripuram rājan daityadānavarakṣitam
114. rājan,
tataḥ saḥ vāyuvegasamān tān jave codayāmāsa,
yena tat daityadānavarakṣitam tripuram (prāptam abhavat).
114. Then he urged those horses, swift as the wind, O King, towards that triple city (Tripura) which was guarded by the Daityas and Dānavas.
अथाधिज्यं धनुः कृत्वा शर्वः संधाय तं शरम् ।
युक्त्वा पाशुपतास्त्रेण त्रिपुरं समचिन्तयत् ॥११५॥
115. athādhijyaṁ dhanuḥ kṛtvā śarvaḥ saṁdhāya taṁ śaram ,
yuktvā pāśupatāstreṇa tripuraṁ samacintayat.
115. atha adhijyam dhanuḥ kṛtvā śarvaḥ saṃdhāya tam
śaram yuktvā pāśupatāstreṇa tripuram samacintayat
115. atha śarvaḥ dhanuḥ adhijyam kṛtvā,
tam śaram saṃdhāya,
pāśupatāstreṇa yuktvā,
tripuram samacintayat.
115. Then Shiva, having strung his bow, placed that arrow and empowered it with the Pāśupata missile, and thus contemplated the triple city.
तस्मिन्स्थिते तदा राजन्क्रुद्धे विधृतकार्मुके ।
पुराणि तानि कालेन जग्मुरेकत्वतां तदा ॥११६॥
116. tasminsthite tadā rājankruddhe vidhṛtakārmuke ,
purāṇi tāni kālena jagmurekatvatāṁ tadā.
116. tasmin sthite tadā rājan kruddhe vidhṛtakārmuke
purāṇi tāni kālena jagmuḥ ekatvatām tadā
116. rājan,
tadā tasmin kruddhe vidhṛtakārmuke sthite sati,
tāni purāṇi tadā kālena ekatvatām jagmuḥ.
116. At that very moment, O King, as he stood there enraged with his bow drawn, those cities, by the opportune moment, merged into a single entity.
एकीभावं गते चैव त्रिपुरे समुपागते ।
बभूव तुमुलो हर्षो दैवतानां महात्मनाम् ॥११७॥
117. ekībhāvaṁ gate caiva tripure samupāgate ,
babhūva tumulo harṣo daivatānāṁ mahātmanām.
117. ekībhāvam gate ca eva tripure samupāgate
babhūva tumulaḥ harṣaḥ devatānām mahātmanām
117. ca eva tripure ekībhāvam gate samupāgate
devatānām mahātmanām tumulaḥ harṣaḥ babhūva
117. And indeed, when the three cities (Tripura) converged into a single state, there was tremendous joy among the great-souled deities.
ततो देवगणाः सर्वे सिद्धाश्च परमर्षयः ।
जयेति वाचो मुमुचुः संस्तुवन्तो मुदान्विताः ॥११८॥
118. tato devagaṇāḥ sarve siddhāśca paramarṣayaḥ ,
jayeti vāco mumucuḥ saṁstuvanto mudānvitāḥ.
118. tataḥ devagaṇāḥ sarve siddhāḥ ca paramarṣayaḥ
jaya iti vācaḥ mumucuḥ saṃstuvantaḥ mudānvitāḥ
118. tataḥ sarve devagaṇāḥ siddhāḥ ca paramarṣayaḥ
mudānvitāḥ saṃstuvantaḥ jaya iti vācaḥ mumucuḥ
118. Then all the hosts of gods, the perfected beings (Siddhas), and the great sages (paramarṣayas), filled with joy, uttered words like 'Victory!' as they offered praises.
ततोऽग्रतः प्रादुरभूत्त्रिपुरं जघ्नुषोऽसुरान् ।
अनिर्देश्योग्रवपुषो देवस्यासह्यतेजसः ॥११९॥
119. tato'grataḥ prādurabhūttripuraṁ jaghnuṣo'surān ,
anirdeśyogravapuṣo devasyāsahyatejasaḥ.
119. tataḥ agrataḥ prādurabhūt tripuram jaghnuṣaḥ
asurān anirdeśyogravapuṣaḥ devasya asahyatejasaḥ
119. tataḥ agrataḥ tripuram asurān jaghnuṣaḥ
anirdeśyogravapuṣaḥ asahyatejasaḥ devasya prādurabhūt
119. Then, in front, manifested the god who was the slayer of the Asuras of Tripura, a deity possessing an indescribably fierce form and unbearable brilliance (tejas).
स तद्विकृष्य भगवान्दिव्यं लोकेश्वरो धनुः ।
त्रैलोक्यसारं तमिषुं मुमोच त्रिपुरं प्रति ।
तत्सासुरगणं दग्ध्वा प्राक्षिपत्पश्चिमार्णवे ॥१२०॥
120. sa tadvikṛṣya bhagavāndivyaṁ lokeśvaro dhanuḥ ,
trailokyasāraṁ tamiṣuṁ mumoca tripuraṁ prati ,
tatsāsuragaṇaṁ dagdhvā prākṣipatpaścimārṇave.
120. saḥ tat vikṛṣya bhagavān divyam
lokeśvaraḥ dhanuḥ trailokyasāram tam iṣum
mumoca tripuram prati tat sa-asuragaṇam
dagdhvā prākṣipat paścimārṇave
120. saḥ bhagavān lokeśvaraḥ divyam tat dhanuḥ vikṛṣya trailokyasāram tam iṣum tripuram prati mumoca.
tat sa-asuragaṇam dagdhvā paścimārṇave prākṣipat
120. That divine lord (bhagavān), the lord of the worlds (lokeśvara), having drawn his divine bow, released that arrow - the very essence of the three worlds - towards Tripura. Having incinerated that (city) along with its hosts of Asuras, he cast it into the western ocean.
एवं तत्त्रिपुरं दग्धं दानवाश्चाप्यशेषतः ।
महेश्वरेण क्रुद्धेन त्रैलोक्यस्य हितैषिणा ॥१२१॥
121. evaṁ tattripuraṁ dagdhaṁ dānavāścāpyaśeṣataḥ ,
maheśvareṇa kruddhena trailokyasya hitaiṣiṇā.
121. evam tat tripuram dagdham dānavāḥ ca api aśeṣataḥ
maheśvareṇa kruddhena trailokyasya hitaiṣiṇā
121. evam tat tripuram dānavāḥ ca api aśeṣataḥ dagdham
trailokyasya hitaiṣiṇā kruddhena maheśvareṇa
121. In this way, that Tripura (the three cities) was completely burnt, along with all the demons, by the enraged Maheśvara, who was a well-wisher of the three worlds.
स चात्मक्रोधजो वह्निर्हाहेत्युक्त्वा निवारितः ।
मा कार्षीर्भस्मसाल्लोकानिति त्र्यक्षोऽब्रवीच्च तम् ॥१२२॥
122. sa cātmakrodhajo vahnirhāhetyuktvā nivāritaḥ ,
mā kārṣīrbhasmasāllokāniti tryakṣo'bravīcca tam.
122. saḥ ca ātmakrodhajaḥ vahniḥ hāhā iti uktvā nivāritaḥ
mā kārṣīḥ bhasmasāt lokān iti tryakṣaḥ abravīt ca tam
122. ca saḥ ātmakrodhajaḥ vahniḥ hāhā iti uktvā nivāritaḥ
tryakṣaḥ ca tam iti mā lokān bhasmasāt kārṣīḥ
122. And that fire, which was born from his own anger (krodha), was restrained after it cried out, "Alas! Alas!" The three-eyed Shiva then said to it, "Do not turn the worlds into ashes!"
ततः प्रकृतिमापन्ना देवा लोकास्तथर्षयः ।
तुष्टुवुर्वाग्भिरर्थ्याभिः स्थाणुमप्रतिमौजसम् ॥१२३॥
123. tataḥ prakṛtimāpannā devā lokāstatharṣayaḥ ,
tuṣṭuvurvāgbhirarthyābhiḥ sthāṇumapratimaujasam.
123. tataḥ prakṛtim āpannāḥ devāḥ lokāḥ tathā ṛṣayaḥ
tuṣṭuvuḥ vāgbhiḥ arthyābhiḥ sthāṇum apratimaujasam
123. tataḥ prakṛtim āpannāḥ devāḥ lokāḥ tathā ṛṣayaḥ
apratimaujasam sthāṇum arthyābhiḥ vāgbhiḥ tuṣṭuvuḥ
123. Then, the gods, the worlds, and also the sages, having returned to their normal state (prakṛti), praised Sthāṇu (Shiva), who possessed incomparable might, with appropriate words.
तेऽनुज्ञाता भगवता जग्मुः सर्वे यथागतम् ।
कृतकामाः प्रसन्नेन प्रजापतिमुखाः सुराः ॥१२४॥
124. te'nujñātā bhagavatā jagmuḥ sarve yathāgatam ,
kṛtakāmāḥ prasannena prajāpatimukhāḥ surāḥ.
124. te anujñātāḥ bhagavatā jagmuḥ sarve yathāgatam
kṛtakāmāḥ prasannena prajāpatimukhāḥ surāḥ
124. bhagavatā prasannena anujñātāḥ kṛtakāmāḥ
prajāpatimukhāḥ sarve te surāḥ yathāgatam jagmuḥ
124. All of them, the gods headed by Prajāpati (Brahma), having been granted permission by the revered Lord and with their desires fulfilled by the gracious one, returned to where they had come from.
यथैव भगवान्ब्रह्मा लोकधाता पितामहः ।
संयच्छ त्वं हयानस्य राधेयस्य महात्मनः ॥१२५॥
125. yathaiva bhagavānbrahmā lokadhātā pitāmahaḥ ,
saṁyaccha tvaṁ hayānasya rādheyasya mahātmanaḥ.
125. yathā eva bhagavān brahmā lokadhātā pitāmahaḥ |
saṃyaccha tvaṃ hayān asya rādheyasya mahātmanaḥ
125. bhagavān brahmā lokadhātā pitāmahaḥ yathā eva (asti)
tvaṃ asya mahātmanaḥ rādheyasya hayān saṃyaccha
125. Just as the venerable Lord Brahmā himself is the creator of worlds and the great grandfather, so should you (Shalya) control the horses of this great-souled son of Rādhā (Rādheya).
त्वं हि कृष्णाच्च कर्णाच्च फल्गुनाच्च विशेषतः ।
विशिष्टो राजशार्दूल नास्ति तत्र विचारणा ॥१२६॥
126. tvaṁ hi kṛṣṇācca karṇācca phalgunācca viśeṣataḥ ,
viśiṣṭo rājaśārdūla nāsti tatra vicāraṇā.
126. tvaṃ hi kṛṣṇāt ca karṇāt ca phālgunāt ca viśeṣataḥ
| viśiṣṭaḥ rājaśārdūla na asti tatra vicāraṇā
126. rājaśārdūla tvaṃ hi kṛṣṇāt ca karṇāt ca phālgunāt
ca viśeṣataḥ viśiṣṭaḥ (asi) tatra vicāraṇā na asti
126. Indeed, you, O tiger among kings (rājaśārdūla), are superior to Kṛṣṇa, Karna, and especially to Arjuna (Phālguna). There is no doubt in that matter.
युद्धे ह्ययं रुद्रकल्पस्त्वं च ब्रह्मसमोऽनघ ।
तस्माच्छक्तौ युवां जेतुं मच्छत्रूंस्ताविवासुरान् ॥१२७॥
127. yuddhe hyayaṁ rudrakalpastvaṁ ca brahmasamo'nagha ,
tasmācchaktau yuvāṁ jetuṁ macchatrūṁstāvivāsurān.
127. yuddhe hi ayaṃ rudrakalpaḥ tvaṃ ca brahmasamaḥ anagha
| tasmāt śaktau yuvāṃ jetuṃ mat śatrūn tān iva asurān
127. anagha yuddhe hi ayaṃ rudrakalpaḥ tvaṃ ca brahmasamaḥ (asi)
tasmāt yuvāṃ tān asurān iva mat śatrūn jetuṃ śaktau (sthaḥ)
127. Indeed, in battle, this one (Karna) is like Rudra, and you, O faultless one, are equal to Brahmā. Therefore, you two are capable of conquering my enemies, who are like the Asuras.
यथा शल्याद्य कर्णोऽयं श्वेताश्वं कृष्णसारथिम् ।

128. O Shalya, arrange it quickly so that this Karna may crush and kill Arjuna (Kaunteya), who has white horses and Kṛṣṇa as his charioteer. Karna, the kingdom, and indeed we ourselves are dependent on you.

(iti ca) eṣa rāmaḥ mayi satataṃ bhaktimān dṛḍhavrataḥ
140. He (Mahadeva) repeatedly spoke to him (Bhārgava, Parashurama) about the qualities of the goddess, in her presence: 'This Rāma is always devout (bhakti-mān) towards me and firm in his vows.'
एवं तस्य गुणान्प्रीतो बहुशोऽकथयत्प्रभुः ।

tadā darpamohāndhaiḥ abādhyanta divaukasaḥ
142. tu etasmin eva kāle mahābalāḥ daityāḥ āsan tadā
darpamohāndhaiḥ taiḥ divaukasaḥ abādhyanta
142. At that very time, there were extremely powerful demons. Blinded by arrogance and delusion, they then tormented the inhabitants of heaven (divaukasaḥ).
ततः संभूय विबुधास्तान्हन्तुं कृतनिश्चयाः ।
चक्रुः शत्रुवधे यत्नं न शेकुर्जेतुमेव ते ॥१४३॥

143. tataḥ saṃbhūya tān hantum kṛtaniścayāḥ vibudhāḥ
śatruvadhye yatnam cakruḥ te eva jetum na śekuḥ
143. Thereupon, the gods, having assembled and firmly resolved to kill those demons, made an effort to slay their enemies. Yet, they were truly unable to conquer them.

144. tataḥ devāḥ maheśvaram abhigamya atha tam
bhaktyā prasādayantaḥ abruvan śatrugaṇān jahi iti
144. Having approached Maheśvara, the gods then spoke, propitiating him with devotion (bhakti), saying, "Destroy these multitudes of enemies!"
प्रतिज्ञाय ततो देवो देवतानां रिपुक्षयम् ।
रामं भार्गवमाहूय सोऽभ्यभाषत शंकरः ॥१४५॥

145. tataḥ devaḥ śaṅkaraḥ devatānām ripukṣayam
pratijñāya rāmam bhārgavam āhūya saḥ abhyabhāṣata
145. Then, having pledged the destruction of the enemies of the gods, the deity Śaṅkara, after summoning Rāma Bhārgava, addressed him.
रिपून्भार्गव देवानां जहि सर्वान्समागतान् ।

146. bhārgava devānām samāgatān sarvān ripūn jahi
lokānām hitakāmārtham tathā eva ca matprītyartham
146. O Bhārgava, destroy all the assembled enemies of the gods for the sake of the welfare of the worlds, and likewise for my satisfaction.
राम उवाच ।

147. rāma uvāca deveśa maheśvara akṛtāstrasya me kā śaktiḥ
sarvān kṛtāstrān yuddhadurmadān dānavān nihantum
147. Rāma said: "O Lord of the gods, O Great Lord, what (śakti) power do I possess, being unskilled in weapons, to kill all the dānavas who are skilled in weapons and maddened by battle?"
ईश्वर उवाच ।
गच्छ त्वं मदनुध्यानान्निहनिष्यसि दानवान् ।

148. Īśvara said: "Go forth! Through my contemplation (dhyāna), you will surely slay the dānavas. And having conquered all enemies, you will acquire abundant excellent qualities."
दुर्योधन उवाच ।
एतच्छ्रुत्वा च वचनं प्रतिगृह्य च सर्वशः ।

150. avadhīddevaśatrūṁstānmadadarpabalānvitān ,

150. avadhīt devaśatrūn tān madadarpabalānvitān |
vajrāśanisamasparśaiḥ prahāraiḥ eva bhārgavaḥ
150. bhārgavaḥ tān madadarpabalānvitān devaśatrūn
vajrāśanisamasparśaiḥ prahāraiḥ eva avadhīt
150. Bhārgava (Paraśurāma) killed those enemies of the gods, who were filled with pride, arrogance, and power, with blows whose impact was like that of Indra's thunderbolt.
स दानवैः क्षततनुर्जामदग्न्यो द्विजोत्तमः ।
संस्पृष्टः स्थाणुना सद्यो निर्व्रणः समजायत ॥१५१॥
151. sa dānavaiḥ kṣatatanurjāmadagnyo dvijottamaḥ ,
saṁspṛṣṭaḥ sthāṇunā sadyo nirvraṇaḥ samajāyata.
151. saḥ dānavaiḥ kṣatatanuḥ jāmadagnyaḥ dvijottamaḥ

151. saḥ jāmadagnyaḥ dvijottamaḥ dānavaiḥ kṣatatanuḥ
sthāṇunā saṃspṛṣṭaḥ sadyaḥ nirvraṇaḥ samajāyata
151. That Jāmadagnya (Paraśurāma), the foremost among the twice-born (dvija), whose body had been wounded by the Dānavas, immediately became free of wounds after being touched by Sthāṇu (Śiva).
प्रीतश्च भगवान्देवः कर्मणा तेन तस्य वै ।

152. prītaśca bhagavāndevaḥ karmaṇā tena tasya vai ,

152. prītaḥ ca bhagavān devaḥ karmaṇā tena tasya vai
| varān prādāt brahmavide bhārgavāya mahātmane
152. ca bhagavān devaḥ tasya tena karmaṇā prītaḥ vai
brahmavide bhārgavāya mahātmane varān prādāt
152. And the divine lord (deva), pleased by that deed (karma) of his (Paraśurāma), indeed gave boons to Bhārgava, the great-souled knower of Brahman (brahman).
उक्तश्च देवदेवेन प्रीतियुक्तेन शूलिना ।
निपातात्तव शस्त्राणां शरीरे याभवद्रुजा ॥१५३॥
153. uktaśca devadevena prītiyuktena śūlinā ,

153. uktaḥ ca devadevena prītiyuktena śūlinā

153. devadevena prītiyuktena śūlinā ca uktaḥ: "tava
śastrāṇām nipātāt śarīre yā rujā abhavat"
153. And it was said by the God of gods, Shiva (śūlinā), who was filled with affection: 'The pain which occurred in your body from the impact of your weapons...'
तया ते मानुषं कर्म व्यपोढं भृगुनन्दन ।
गृहाणास्त्राणि दिव्यानि मत्सकाशाद्यथेप्सितम् ॥१५४॥
154. tayā te mānuṣaṁ karma vyapoḍhaṁ bhṛgunandana ,

154. tayā te mānuṣam karma vyapoḍham bhṛgunandana

154. bhṛgunandana! tayā te mānuṣam karma vyapoḍham.
mat-sakāśāt divyāni astrāṇi yathā-īpsitam gṛhāṇa.
154. ...by that pain, O son of Bhrigu (bhṛgunandana), your human actions (karma) have been dispelled. Now, take these divine weapons from me as you wish.'
ततोऽस्त्राणि समस्तानि वरांश्च मनसेप्सितान् ।
लब्ध्वा बहुविधान्रामः प्रणम्य शिरसा शिवम् ॥१५५॥
155. tato'strāṇi samastāni varāṁśca manasepsitān ,

155. tataḥ astrāṇi samastāni varān ca manasā-īpsitān

155. tataḥ rāmaḥ manasā-īpsitān samastāni bahuvidhān astrāṇi ca varān labdhvā,
śirasā śivam praṇamya.
155. Thereupon, having obtained all the weapons and many kinds of boons that he desired in his mind, Rama (rāmaḥ) bowed his head to Shiva (śivam).
अनुज्ञां प्राप्य देवेशाज्जगाम स महातपाः ।

156. saḥ mahātapāḥ deveśāt anujñām prāpya jagāma.
evam ṛṣiḥ tadā etat purāvṛttam kathitavān.
156. Having obtained permission from the Lord of gods (deveśāt), that great ascetic (mahātapāḥ) departed. Thus, the sage (ṛṣiḥ) narrated this ancient event (purāvṛttam) at that time.
भार्गवोऽप्यददात्सर्वं धनुर्वेदं महात्मने ।

karṇāya puruṣavyāghra suprītena antarātmanā
157. puruṣavyāghra suprītena antarātmanā bhārgavaḥ
api mahātmane karṇāya sarvam dhanurvedam adadāt
157. O tiger among men (puruṣavyāghra), Bhargava (Paraśurāma), with his inner self (antarātman) greatly pleased, bestowed the entire science of archery upon the great-souled (mahātman) Karna.
वृजिनं हि भवेत्किंचिद्यदि कर्णस्य पार्थिव ।

158. pārthiva yadi karṇasya kiṃcit vṛjinam hi bhavet
bhṛgunandanaḥ hi asmai divyāni astrāṇi na prādāsyat
158. O King, if there had indeed been any fault in Karna, surely the son of Bhṛgu (Paraśurāma) would not have bestowed divine weapons upon him.
नापि सूतकुले जातं कर्णं मन्ये कथंचन ।

159. nāpi sūtakule jātaṁ karṇaṁ manye kathaṁcana ,

159. aham karṇam sūtakule jātam kathaṃcana na api manye
aham (tam) devaputram kṣatriyāṇām kulodbhavam manye
159. I do not consider Karna to have been born into the Sūta (charioteer) family by any means. I consider him a son of a god (devaputra), born of a Kṣatriya family.
सकुण्डलं सकवचं दीर्घबाहुं महारथम् ।
