jñānāni naḥ praṇaṣṭāni śrutvā etat te vacaḥ nṛpa
40. And the astrologers, their voices choked with tears, spoke to that king (mahīpāla): 'O King (nṛpa), our knowledge has been destroyed upon hearing these words of yours!'

42. samutpatya mahīpālam tam yiyāsum mune vanam
prakampiśirasaḥ bhūtvā procuḥ brāhmaṇasattamāḥ
42. Having quickly approached, with trembling heads, the most excellent among the brahmins spoke to that king, who was intending to go to a sage's forest.
प्रसीद पाहि नो राजन्पालिताः स्म यथा पुरा ।

43. prasīda pāhi naḥ rājan pālitāḥ sma yathā purā
sīdiṣyati akhilaḥ lokaḥ tvayi bhūpa vanāśraye
43. O King, be gracious and protect us! We were always protected by you as before. The entire world will fall into distress, O King, if you take refuge in the forest.
त्वं कुरुष्व तथा राजन्यथा नो सीदते जगत् ।

44. O King, please act in such a way that the world does not fall into distress. O hero, we, who will live only for a short time, do not wish to see the throne devoid of you, O Lord!

45. Mārkaṇḍeya said: In this way, the king was repeatedly addressed by them, as well as by other Brahmins with the citizens at their forefront, and also by kings, servants, and ministers.
वनवासविनिर्बन्धं नोपसंहरते यदा ।

46. When he would not abandon his firm resolve to dwell in the forest (vanavāsa), he then gave this answer: "Death (antaka) will not forgive (me if I fail in my duty)."

47. tataḥ amātyāḥ ca bhūpāḥ ca pauravṛddhāḥ tathā
dvijāḥ sametya mantrayāmāsuḥ kim atra kriyatām iti
47. Then the ministers, kings, elderly citizens, and Brahmins gathered and deliberated, saying, "What should be done in this matter?"

48. teṣām mantrayatām vipra niścayaḥ ayam ajāyata
anurāgavatām tatra mahīpāle atidhārmike
48. O Brahmin, while they were deliberating, this decision (niścaya) arose among them, who were devoted to the exceedingly righteous (dharma) king.
सम्यग्ध्यानपरा भूत्वा प्रार्थयामः समाहिताः ।

49. samyak dhyānaparāḥ bhūtvā prārthayāmaḥ samāhitāḥ
tapasā ārādhya bhāsvantam āyuḥ asya mahīpateḥ
49. Having become perfectly focused and absorbed in meditation (dhyāna), we pray, after having worshipped the radiant Sun god through severe austerity (tapas), for the prolonged life of this king.

samyak arghopacārādyaiḥ upahāraiḥ apūjayan
50. Some, with a singular determination in this endeavor, worshipped the Sun god (Bhāskara) in their homes with proper offerings and other devotional acts.
अपरे मौनिनो भूत्वा ऋग्जापेन तथापरे ।

52. apare ca nirāhārāḥ nadīpulinaśāyinaḥ tapāṃsi
cakruḥ icchantaḥ bhāskarārādhanam dvijāḥ
52. And other twice-born ones (dvija), abstaining from food and lying on river banks, performed severe austerities (tapas), desiring to worship the Sun god (Bhāskara).

jepuḥ tatra apare tasthuḥ bhāskare nyastadṛṣṭayaḥ
53. Some others, devoted to the Agnihotra fire Vedic ritual (yajña), chanted hymns to the sun day and night. Still others stood there, their gaze fixed upon the sun.

54. iti evam atinirbandham bhāskarārādhanam prati
bahuprakāram cakruḥ te tam tam vidhim upāśritāḥ
54. Thus, with such extreme dedication to the worship of the sun (Bhāskara), they performed it in many ways, having resorted to various specific methods.
तथा तु यततां तेषां भास्कराराधनं प्रति ।
सुदामा नाम गन्धर्व उपगम्येदमब्रवीत् ॥५५॥
55. tathā tu yatatāṃ teṣāṃ bhāskarārādhanaṃ prati .

55. tathā tu yatatām teṣām bhāskarārādhanam prati
sudāmā nāma gandharvaḥ upagamya idam abravīt
55. However, as they thus diligently engaged in the worship of the sun (Bhāskara), a Gandharva named Sudama approached and spoke these words.
यद्याराधनमिष्टं वो भास्करस्य द्विजातयः ।
तदेतत्क्रियतां येन भानुः प्रीतिमुपैष्यति ॥५६॥
56. yadyārādhanamiṣṭaṃ vo bhāskarasya dvijātayaḥ .

56. yadi ārādhanam iṣṭam vaḥ bhāskarasya dvijātayaḥ
tat etat kriyatām yena bhānuḥ prītim upaiṣyati
56. O twice-born ones, if you desire the worship of the sun (Bhāskara), then let this be performed, by means of which the sun (Bhānu) will achieve satisfaction.
तस्माद्गुरुविशालाख्यं वनं सिद्धनिषेवितम् ।

kāmarūpe mahāśaile gamyatāṃ tatra vai laghu.
57. tasmāt guruvśālākhyam vanam siddhaniṣevitam
kāmarūpe mahāśaile gamyatām tatra vai laghu
57. Therefore, quickly go to that forest named Gurūviśāla, which is frequented by perfected beings (siddhas), located on the great mountain in Kāmarūpa.
तस्मिन्नाराधनं भानोः क्रियतां सुसमाहितैः ।

58. tasmin ārādhanam bhānoḥ kriyatām susamāhitaiḥ
siddhakṣetram hitam tatra sarvakāmān avāpsyatha
58. In that place, let the worship of the Sun be performed by those who are well-composed. That is a beneficial sacred place (siddhakṣetra), where you will obtain all your desires.

66. We seek refuge in that unchangeable, imperishable God, who resides in the fire rituals (agnihotra) of the sages and among the deities of the Vedic rituals (yajña). He is a mass of brilliance, the supreme, the profound secret, and the unsurpassed gateway to liberation (mokṣa).
