| na śṛṇoṣi mahānādam tasya adūre api garjataḥ
22. Even for me, a great rākṣasa follows in my footsteps. Do you not hear its great roar, even though it is thundering nearby?

astragrāmasya sarvasya hṛdajñā aham adya te

प्रादात् स्वायम्भुवस्यादौ स्वयं रुद्रः पिनाकधृक् ॥२४॥

24. te prayacchāmi mām rakṣa rakṣasaḥ asmān mahāmate
prādāt svāyambhuvasya ādau svayam rudraḥ pinākadhṛk
24. I entrust myself to you. Protect me and us from demons (rakṣasas), O great-minded one. Rudra (Śiva) himself, the wielder of the Pināka (bow), originally gave [this knowledge/power] at the time of Svāyambhuva (Brahmā).
स्वायम्भुवो वसिष्ठाय सिद्धवर्याय दत्तवान् ।

tenāpi dattaṃ manmātuḥ pitre citrāyudhāya vai.
25. svāyambhuvaḥ vasiṣṭhāya siddhavaryāya dattavān
tena api dattam matmātuḥ pitre citrāyudhāya vai
25. Svāyambhuva (Brahmā) gave it to Vasiṣṭha, the most excellent among the accomplished ones (siddhas). Indeed, by him (Vasiṣṭha), it was also given to my mother's father, Citrāyudha.
प्रादादौद्वाहिकं सोऽपि मत्पित्रे श्वशुरः स्वयम् ।
मयापि शिक्षितं वीर सकाशाद् बालया पितुः ॥२६॥

26. prādāt audvāhikam saḥ api matpitre śvaśuraḥ svayam
mayā api śikṣitam vīra sakāśāt bālayā pituḥ
26. He (Citrāyudha), being my father's father-in-law himself, also gave the bridal gift to my father. O hero, it was learned by me, even as a young girl, from my father.
हृदयं सकलास्त्राणामशेषरिपुनाशनम् ।
तदिदं गृह्यतां शीघ्रमशेषास्त्रपरायणम् ॥२७॥
27. hṛdayaṃ sakalāstrāṇāmaśeṣaripunāśanam .
tadidaṃ gṛhyatāṃ śīghramaśeṣāstraparāyaṇam.
27. hṛdayam sakalāstrāṇām aśeṣaripunāśanam tat
idam gṛhyatām śīghram aśeṣāstrapārāyaṇam
27. This is the essence of all weapons, capable of destroying all enemies. Therefore, swiftly accept this, the ultimate repository of all weapons.

enam rākṣasam āgatam
28. Then slay this evil-minded one (durātman), this demon (rākṣasa) who has appeared.

29. mārkaṇḍeya uvāca tathā iti ukte tataḥ tena vāri upaspṛśya
tasya tat astrāṇām hṛdayam prādāt sarahasyanivartanam
29. Mārkaṇḍeya said: When it was thus spoken, then, having touched water, he (the sage) gave him (the supplicant) that essence of weapons, along with its secret knowledge of deployment and withdrawal.
एतस्मिन्नन्तरे रक्षस्तत्तदा भीषणाकृति ।
नर्दमानं महानादमाजगाम त्वरान्वितम् ॥३०॥

30. etasmin antare rakṣas tat tadā bhīṣaṇākṛti
nardamānam mahānādam ājagāma tvarānvitam
30. At that very moment, that terrifying-looking demon (rakṣas) swiftly approached, roaring with a tremendous sound.
मयाभिभूता किं त्राणमुपैषि द्रुतमेहि मे ।
भक्षामि किञ्चिरेणेति ब्रुवाणं तं ददर्श सः ॥३१॥

31. mayā abhibhūtā kim trāṇam upaiṣi drutam ehi me
bhakṣāmi kiñcireṇa iti bruvāṇam tam dadarśa saḥ
31. You are overpowered by me; why do you seek protection? Come quickly to me! I will devour you in a little while!' He saw him speaking thus.
स्वरोचिश्चिन्तयामास दृष्ट्वा तं समुपागतम् ।
गृह्णात्वेष वचः सत्यं तस्यास्त्विति महामुनेः ॥३२॥

32. svarociḥ cintayāmāsa dṛṣṭvā tam samupāgatam
gṛhṇātu eṣaḥ vacaḥ satyam tasya astu iti mahāmuneḥ
32. Having seen the approaching demon, Svaroci reflected: "Let him accept as true the word of the great sage (mahāmuni); may it be his (fate)."
जग्राह समुपेत्यैनां त्वरया सोऽपि राक्षसः ।
त्राहि त्राहीति करुणं विलपन्तीं सुमध्यमाम् ॥३३॥
33. jagrāha samupetyaināṃ tvarayā so'pi rākṣasaḥ .

33. jagrāha samupetya enām tvarayā saḥ api rākṣasaḥ
trāhi trāhi iti karuṇam vilapantīm sumadhyamām
33. Even that demon quickly approached and seized the slender-waisted woman who was piteously crying, "Save me! Save me!"
ततः स्वरोचिः संक्रुद्धश्चण्डास्त्रमतिभैरवम् ।
दृष्ट्यां निवेश्य तद्रक्षो ददर्शानिमिषेक्षणः ॥३४॥

34. tataḥ svarociḥ saṅkruddhaḥ caṇḍāstram atibhairavam
dṛṣṭyām niveśya tat rakṣaḥ dadarśa animiṣekṣaṇaḥ
34. Then, enraged and with unblinking eyes, Svaroci saw that demon, having fixed a fierce and exceedingly terrifying weapon in his gaze.
तदाभिभूतः स तदा तामुत्सृज्य निशाचरः ।
प्रसीद शाम्यतामस्त्रं श्रूयताञ्चेत्यभाषत ॥३५॥

35. tada abhibhūtaḥ sa tada tām utsṛjya niśācaraḥ
prasīda śāmyatām astram śrūyatām ca iti abhāṣata
35. Then, being overpowered, that demon (niśācaraḥ) abandoned [his efforts] and spoke thus: 'Please be gracious! Let this weapon (astra) be calmed, and listen to me!'

37. O exalted one (mahābhāga), no other benefactor greater than you exists for me, by whom I have been liberated (mokṣa) from the very great misery of a mighty curse.

38. svarociḥ uvāca brahmamitreṇa muninā kim nimittam mahātmanā
śaptaḥ tvam kīdṛśaḥ ca eva śāpaḥ dattaḥ abhavat purā
38. Svaroci said: 'For what reason were you cursed by the great-souled (mahātmanā) sage Brahmamitra, and what kind of curse was given previously?'
राक्षसा उवाच ।
ब्रह्ममित्रोऽष्टधा भिन्नमायुर्वेदमधीतवान् ।
त्रयोदशाधिकारञ्च प्रगृह्याथर्वणो द्विजः ॥३९॥
39. rākṣasā uvāca .

39. rākṣasaḥ uvāca brahmamitraḥ aṣṭadhā bhinnam āyurvedam
adhītavān trayodaśādhikāram ca pragṛhya ātharvaṇaḥ dvijaḥ
39. The demon said: Brahmamitra, a twice-born (dvija) associated with the Atharva Veda, studied the Ayurveda, which is divided into eight parts, having thoroughly grasped its thirteen sections.
अहञ्चेन्दीवराख्येति ख्यातोऽस्या जनकोऽभवम् ।
विद्याधरपतेः पुत्रो नलनाभस्य खङ्गिनः ॥४०॥
40. ahañcendīvarākhyeti khyāto'syā janako'bhavam .
vidyādharapateḥ putro nalanābhasya khaṅginaḥ.
40. aham ca indīvarākhyā iti khyātaḥ asya janakaḥ
abhavam vidyādharapateḥ putraḥ nalanābhasya khaṅginaḥ
40. And I, known by the name Indīvara, became his (Brahmamitra's) father. I am the son of Nalanābha, the sword-wielding lord of the Vidyādharas.
मया च याचितः पुर्वं ब्रह्ममित्रोऽभवन्मुनिः ।
आयुर्वेदमशेषं मे भगवन् दातुमर्हसि ॥४१॥

41. mayā ca yācitaḥ pūrvam brahmamitraḥ abhavat
muniḥ āyurvedam aśeṣam me bhagavan dātum arhasi
41. And Brahmamitra, whom I had previously requested, became a sage. (I had said to him): 'O Lord, you ought to grant me the complete Ayurveda.'
यदा तु बहुशो वीर प्रश्रयावनतस्य मे ।
न प्रादाद्याचितो विद्यामायुर्वेदात्मिकां मम ॥४२॥
42. yadā tu bahuśo vīra praśrayāvanatasya me .
na prādādyācito vidyāmāyurvedātmikāṃ mama.
42. yadā tu bahuśaḥ vīra praśrayāvanatasya me na
prādāt yācitaḥ vidyām āyurvedātmakām mama
42. But when, O hero, though I repeatedly requested him, and was humble with reverence, he did not grant me my knowledge, which embodies the essence of Ayurveda.
शिष्येभ्यो ददतस्तस्य मयान्तर्धानगेन हि ।
आयुर्वेदात्मिका विद्या गृहीताभूत्तदानघ ॥४३॥
43. śiṣyebhyo dadatastasya mayāntardhānagena hi .
āyurvedātmikā vidyā gṛhītābhūttadānagha.
43. śiṣyebhyaḥ dadatas tasya mayā antardhānagena hi
āyurvedātmikā vidyā gṛhītā abhūt tadā anagha
43. O sinless one, while he was imparting it to his disciples, I, having become invisible, indeed acquired that knowledge which constitutes the essence (ātman) of Ayurveda.
गृहीतायान्तु विद्यायां मासैरष्टाभिरन्तरात् ।
ममातिहर्षादभवद्धासोऽतीव पुनः पुनः ॥४४॥
44. gṛhītāyāntu vidyāyāṃ māsairaṣṭābhirantarāt .
mamātiharṣādabhavaddhāso'tīva punaḥ punaḥ.
44. gṛhītāyām tu vidyāyām māsaiḥ aṣṭābhiḥ antarāt
mama atiharṣāt abhavat hāsaḥ atīva punaḥ punaḥ
44. Indeed, after that knowledge was acquired, within a period of eight months, excessive laughter repeatedly arose from me due to my immense joy.
प्रत्यभिज्ञाय मां हासान्मुनिः कोपसमन्वितः ।
विकम्पिकन्धरः प्राह मामिदं परुषाक्षरम् ॥४५॥
45. pratyabhijñāya māṃ hāsānmuniḥ kopasamanvitaḥ .
vikampikandharaḥ prāha māmidaṃ paruṣākṣaram.
45. pratyabhijñāya mām hāsāt muniḥ kopa-samanvitaḥ
vikampi-kandharaḥ prāha mām idam paruṣa-akṣaram
45. Recognizing me from the laughter, the sage became filled with anger (kopa), and with a trembling neck, he spoke these harsh words to me.
राक्षसेनैव यस्मान्मे त्वयादृश्येन दुर्मते ।
हृता विद्यावहासश्च मामवज्ञाय वै कृतः ॥४६॥
46. rākṣasenaiva yasmānme tvayādṛśyena durmate .
hṛtā vidyāvahāsaśca māmavajñāya vai kṛtaḥ.
46. rākṣasena eva yasmāt me tvayā adṛśyena durmate
hṛtā vidyā avahāsaḥ ca mām avajñāya vai kṛtaḥ
46. O evil-minded one, because you, invisible like a demon (rākṣasa) indeed, have stolen my knowledge, and moreover, you have disrespected me by making a mockery.
तस्मात्त्वं राक्षसः पाप मच्छापेन निराकृतः ।
भविष्यसि न सन्देहः सप्तरात्रेण दारुणः ॥४७॥
47. tasmāttvaṃ rākṣasaḥ pāpa macchāpena nirākṛtaḥ .
bhaviṣyasi na sandehaḥ saptarātreṇa dāruṇaḥ.
47. tasmāt tvam rākṣasaḥ pāpa mat śāpena nirākṛtaḥ
bhaviṣyasi na sandehaḥ saptarātreṇa dāruṇaḥ
47. Therefore, O sinful one, you will undoubtedly become a terrible demon, disfigured by my curse, within seven nights.
इत्युक्ते प्रणिपाताद्यैरुपचारैः प्रसादितः ।
स मामाह पुनर्विप्रस्तत्क्षणान्मृदुमानसः ॥४८॥
48. ityukte praṇipātādyairupacāraiḥ prasāditaḥ .
sa māmāha punarviprastatkṣaṇānmṛdumānasaḥ.
48. iti ukte praṇipātādyaiḥ upacāraiḥ prasāditaḥ
saḥ mām āha punaḥ vipraḥ tatkṣaṇāt mṛdumānasaḥ
48. When this was said, the Brahmin (vipra), appeased by acts of reverence (praṇipāta) and other courtesies, immediately spoke to me again with a softened mind.
यन्मयोक्तमवश्यन्तद्भावि गन्धर्व नान्यथा ।
किन्तु त्वं राक्षसो भूत्वा पुनः स्वं प्राप्स्यसे वपुः ॥४९॥
49. yanmayoktamavaśyantadbhāvi gandharva nānyathā .
kintu tvaṃ rākṣaso bhūtvā punaḥ svaṃ prāpsyase vapuḥ.
49. yat mayā uktam avaśyam tat bhāvi gandharva na anyathā
kintu tvam rākṣasaḥ bhūtvā punaḥ svam prāpsyase vapuḥ
49. O Gandharva, what I have said will certainly happen; it will not be otherwise. However, having become a demon, you will regain your own form (vapus) again.
नष्टस्मृतिर्यदा क्रुद्धः स्वमपत्यञ्चिखादिषुः ।
निशाचरत्वं गन्तासि तदस्त्रानलतापितः ॥५०॥
50. naṣṭasmṛtiryadā kruddhaḥ svamapatyañcikhādiṣuḥ .
niśācaratvaṃ gantāsi tadastrānalatāpitaḥ.
50. naṣṭasmṛtiḥ yadā kruddhaḥ svam apatyam cikhādiṣuḥ
niśācaratvam gantā asi tadā astranalatāpitaḥ
50. When you, having lost your memory and being enraged, desire to eat your own offspring, you will then attain the state of a night-wanderer (niśācara), scorched by the fire of a weapon.
पुनः संज्ञामवाप्य स्वामवाप्स्यसि निजं वपुः ।
तथैव स्वमधिष्ठानं लोके गन्धर्वसंज्ञिते ॥५१॥
51. punaḥ saṃjñāmavāpya svāmavāpsyasi nijaṃ vapuḥ .
tathaiva svamadhiṣṭhānaṃ loke gandharvasaṃjñite.
51. punaḥ saṃjñām avāpya svām avāpsyasi nijam vapuḥ
tathā eva svam adhiṣṭhānam loke gandharvasaṃjñite
51. Having regained your consciousness (saṃjñā), you will recover your own body and, in the same way, your own abode in the world known as Gandharva.
सोऽहं त्वया महाभाग मोक्षितोऽस्मान्महाभयात् ।
निशाचरत्वाद् यद्वीर तेन मे प्रार्थनां कुरु ॥५२॥
52. so'haṃ tvayā mahābhāga mokṣito'smānmahābhayāt .
niśācaratvād yadvīra tena me prārthanāṃ kuru.
52. saḥ aham tvayā mahābhāga mokṣitaḥ asmāt mahābhayāt
niśācaratvāt yat vīra tena me prārthanām kuru
52. O greatly fortunate one (mahābhāga), since I have been liberated by you from this great fear and from the state of being a night-stalker, O hero, therefore, please fulfill my request.
इमान्ते तनयां भार्यां प्रयच्छामि प्रतीच्छ ताम् ।
आयुर्वेदश्च सकलस्त्वष्टाङ्गो यो मया ततः ।
मुनेः सकाशात् संप्राप्तस्तं गृह्णीष्व महामते ॥५३॥
53. imānte tanayāṃ bhāryāṃ prayacchāmi pratīccha tām .
āyurvedaśca sakalastvaṣṭāṅgo yo mayā tataḥ .
muneḥ sakāśāt saṃprāptastaṃ gṛhṇīṣva mahāmate.
53. imām te tanayām bhāryām prayacchāmi
pratīccha tām āyurvedaḥ ca sakalaḥ
tvaṣṭāṅgaḥ yaḥ mayā tataḥ muneḥ
sakāśāt saṃprāptaḥ tam gṛhṇīṣva mahāmate
53. I offer this daughter as your wife; please accept her. Also, the entire eight-branched (aṣṭāṅga) science of Ayurveda, which I obtained from that sage, please accept that, O great-minded one (mahāmate).
मार्कण्डेय उवाच ।
इत्युक्त्वा प्रददौ विद्यां स च दिव्याम्बरोज्जवलः ।
स्त्रग्भूषणधरो दिव्यं पुराणं वपुरास्थितः ॥५४॥
54. mārkaṇḍeya uvāca .
ityuktvā pradadau vidyāṃ sa ca divyāmbarojjavalaḥ .
stragbhūṣaṇadharo divyaṃ purāṇaṃ vapurāsthitaḥ.
54. mārkaṇḍeyaḥ uvāca iti uktvā pradadau vidyām saḥ ca
divyāmbarojjvalaḥ sragbhūṣaṇadharaḥ divyam purāṇam vapuḥ āsthitaḥ
54. Mārkaṇḍeya said: Having spoken thus, he imparted the knowledge (vidyā). And he, radiant with divine garments, adorned with garlands and ornaments, had assumed a divine, ancient form.
दत्त्वा विद्यां ततः कन्यां स दातुमुपचक्रमे ।
तमाह सा तदा कन्या जनितारं स्वरूपिणम् ॥५५॥
55. dattvā vidyāṃ tataḥ kanyāṃ sa dātumupacakrame .
tamāha sā tadā kanyā janitāraṃ svarūpiṇam.
55. dattvā vidyām tataḥ kanyām saḥ dātum upacakrame
tam āha sā tadā kanyā janitāram svarūpiṇam
55. After imparting knowledge, he then began to give his daughter [in marriage]. At that time, that daughter spoke to her beautiful father.
अनुरागो ममाप्यत्र तातातीव महात्मनि ।
दर्शनादेव संजातो विशेषेणोपकारिणि ॥५६॥
56. anurāgo mamāpyatra tātātīva mahātmani .
darśanādeva saṃjāto viśeṣeṇopakāriṇi.
56. anurāgaḥ mama api atra tāta atīva mahātmani
darśanāt eva sañjātaḥ viśeṣeṇa upakāriṇi
56. Father, indeed, my deep affection (anurāga) for this exceedingly great-souled (mahātman) and especially benevolent person has arisen merely from seeing him.
किन्त्वेषा मे सखी सा च मत्कृते दुः खपीडिते ।
अतो नाभिलषे भोगान् भोक्तुमेतेन वै समम् ॥५७॥
57. kintveṣā me sakhī sā ca matkṛte duḥ khapīḍite .
ato nābhilaṣe bhogān bhoktumetena vai samam.
57. kintu eṣā me sakhī sā ca matkṛte duḥkhapīḍite
ataḥ na abhilaṣe bhogān bhoktum etena vai samam
57. But this friend of mine and also that other one are both suffering because of me. Therefore, I certainly do not desire to enjoy pleasures together with this person.
पुरुषैरपि नो शक्या कर्तुमित्थं नृशंसता ।
स्वभावरुचिरैर्मादृक् कथं योषित् करिष्यति ॥५८॥
58. puruṣairapi no śakyā kartumitthaṃ nṛśaṃsatā .
svabhāvarucirairmādṛk kathaṃ yoṣit kariṣyati.
58. puruṣaiḥ api na u śakyā kartum ittham nṛśaṃsatā
svabhāvaruciraiḥ mādṛk katham yoṣit kariṣyati
58. Such cruelty (nṛśaṃsatā) cannot be committed even by men (puruṣa), particularly those of naturally pleasant disposition. How then can a woman (yoṣit) like me do it?
साहं यथा ते दुः खार्ते मत्कृते कन्यके पितः ।
तथा स्थास्यामि तद्दुः खे तच्छोकानलतापिता ॥५९॥
59. sāhaṃ yathā te duḥ khārte matkṛte kanyake pitaḥ .
tathā sthāsyāmi tadduḥ khe tacchokānalatāpitā.
59. sā aham yathā te duḥkhārte matkṛte kanyake pitaḥ
| tathā sthāsyāmi tat duḥkhe tat śokānalatāpitā
59. O father, just as your two daughters are distressed with sorrow on my account, so too will I remain in their sorrow, afflicted by the fire of their grief.
स्वरोचिरुवाच ।
आयुर्वेदप्रसादेन ते करिष्ये पुनर्नवे ।
सख्यौ तव महाशोकं समुत्सृज सुमध्यमे ॥६०॥
60. svarociruvāca .
āyurvedaprasādena te kariṣye punarnave .
sakhyau tava mahāśokaṃ samutsṛja sumadhyame.
60. svarociḥ uvāca | āyurveda prasādena te kariṣye punar
nave | sakhyau tava mahāśokam samutsṛja sumadhyame
60. Svaroci said: 'O slender-waisted one, by the grace of Ayurveda, I will make your two friends young again. Abandon your great sorrow!'
मार्कण्डेय उवाच ।
ततः पित्रा स्वयं दत्तां तां कन्यां स विधानतः ।
उपयेमे गिरौ तस्मिन् स्वरोचिश्चारुलोचवनाम् ॥६१॥
61. mārkaṇḍeya uvāca .
tataḥ pitrā svayaṃ dattāṃ tāṃ kanyāṃ sa vidhānataḥ .
upayeme girau tasmin svarociścārulocavanām.
61. mārkaṇḍeyaḥ uvāca | tataḥ pitrā svayam dattām tām kanyām
saḥ vidhānataḥ | upayeme girau tasmin svarociḥ cārulocanām
61. Mārkaṇḍeya said: Then, Svaroci married that maiden, who was given personally by her father according to proper rites, on that mountain. She had beautiful eyes.
दत्तान्तु तां तदा कन्यामभिशान्त्य च भामिनीम् ।
जगाम दिव्यया गत्यागन्धर्वः स्वपुरन्ततः ॥६२॥
62. dattāntu tāṃ tadā kanyāmabhiśāntya ca bhāminīm .
jagāma divyayā gatyāgandharvaḥ svapurantataḥ.
62. dattām tu tām tadā kanyām abhiśāntya ca bhāminīm
| jagāma divyayā gatyā gandharvaḥ sva puram tataḥ
62. But then, having given that maiden and having pacified the angry woman, the Gandharva departed to his own city by a divine path.
स चापि सहितस्तन्व्या सदुद्यानन्तदा ययौ ।
कन्यकायुगलं यत्र तच्छापोत्थगदातुरम् ॥६३॥
63. sa cāpi sahitastanvyā sadudyānantadā yayau .
kanyakāyugalaṃ yatra tacchāpotthagadāturam.
63. saḥ ca api sahitaḥ tanvyā sadudyānam tadā
yayau kanyakāyugalam yatra tatśāpotthagadāturam
63. And he, accompanied by the slender maiden, then went to a beautiful garden where a pair of maidens were suffering from a disease caused by a curse.
ततस्तयोः स तत्त्वज्ञो रोगघ्नैरौषधै रसैः ।
चकार नीरुजौ देहौ स्वरोचिरपराजितः ॥६४॥
64. tatastayoḥ sa tattvajño rogaghnairauṣadhai rasaiḥ .
cakāra nīrujau dehau svarociraparājitaḥ.
64. tataḥ tayoḥ saḥ tattvajñaḥ rogaghnaiḥ auṣadhaiḥ
rasaiḥ cakāra nīrujau dehau svarociḥ aparājitaḥ
64. Then Svarocis, the unconquered knower of truth (tattva), rendered their two bodies healthy with disease-destroying medicines and medicinal essences.
ततोऽतिशोभने कन्ये विमुक्ते व्याधितः शुभे ।
स्वकान्त्योद्योति दिग्भागं चक्राते तन्महीधरम् ॥६५॥
65. tato'tiśobhane kanye vimukte vyādhitaḥ śubhe .
svakāntyodyoti digbhāgaṃ cakrāte tanmahīdharam.
65. tataḥ atiśobhane kanye vimukte vyādhitaḥ śubhe
svakāntyā udyoti digbhāgam cakrāte tat-mahīdharam
65. Then the two exceedingly beautiful and auspicious maidens, freed from disease, illuminated the surrounding regions with their own radiance, making that mountain shine.
