मार्कण्डेय उवाच ।
आदित्या वसवो रुद्राः साध्या विश्वे मरुद्गणाः ।
भृगवोऽङ्गिरसश्चाष्टौ यत्र देवगणाः स्मृताः ॥१॥
आदित्या वसवो रुद्राः साध्या विश्वे मरुद्गणाः ।
भृगवोऽङ्गिरसश्चाष्टौ यत्र देवगणाः स्मृताः ॥१॥
1. mārkaṇḍeya uvāca .
ādityā vasavo rudrāḥ sādhyā viśve marudgaṇāḥ .
bhṛgavo'ṅgirasaścāṣṭau yatra devagaṇāḥ smṛtāḥ.
ādityā vasavo rudrāḥ sādhyā viśve marudgaṇāḥ .
bhṛgavo'ṅgirasaścāṣṭau yatra devagaṇāḥ smṛtāḥ.
1.
mārkaṇḍeyaḥ uvāca ādityāḥ vasavaḥ rudrāḥ sādhyāḥ viśve
marutgaṇāḥ bhṛgavaḥ aṅgirasaḥ ca aṣṭau yatra devagaṇāḥ smṛtāḥ
marutgaṇāḥ bhṛgavaḥ aṅgirasaḥ ca aṣṭau yatra devagaṇāḥ smṛtāḥ
1.
Mārkaṇḍeya said: Where the groups of deities - the Adityas, Vasus, Rudras, Sadhyas, Viśve devas, Maruts, Bhṛgus, and the eight Aṅgirasas - are enumerated.
आदित्या वसवो रुद्रा विज्ञेयाः कश्यपात्मजाः ।
साध्याश्च मरुतो विश्वे धर्मपुत्रगणास्त्रयः ॥२॥
साध्याश्च मरुतो विश्वे धर्मपुत्रगणास्त्रयः ॥२॥
2. ādityā vasavo rudrā vijñeyāḥ kaśyapātmajāḥ .
sādhyāśca maruto viśve dharmaputragaṇāstrayaḥ.
sādhyāśca maruto viśve dharmaputragaṇāstrayaḥ.
2.
ādityāḥ vasavaḥ rudrāḥ vijñeyāḥ kaśyapātmajāḥ
sādhyāḥ ca marutaḥ viśve dharmaputragaṇāḥ trayaḥ
sādhyāḥ ca marutaḥ viśve dharmaputragaṇāḥ trayaḥ
2.
The Adityas, Vasus, and Rudras should be known as the offspring of Kaśyapa. The Sadhyas, Maruts, and Viśve devas are the three groups of sons of Dharma (dharma).
भृगोस्तु भृगवो देवाः पुत्रा ह्यङ्गिरसः सुताः ।
एष सर्गश्च मारीचो विज्ञेयः साम्प्रताधिपः ॥३॥
एष सर्गश्च मारीचो विज्ञेयः साम्प्रताधिपः ॥३॥
3. bhṛgostu bhṛgavo devāḥ putrā hyaṅgirasaḥ sutāḥ .
eṣa sargaśca mārīco vijñeyaḥ sāmpratādhipaḥ.
eṣa sargaśca mārīco vijñeyaḥ sāmpratādhipaḥ.
3.
bhṛgoḥ tu bhṛgavaḥ devāḥ putrāḥ hi aṅgirasaḥ sutāḥ
eṣaḥ sargaḥ ca mārīcaḥ vijñeyaḥ sāmpratādhipaḥ
eṣaḥ sargaḥ ca mārīcaḥ vijñeyaḥ sāmpratādhipaḥ
3.
Indeed, the Bhṛgu deities are the sons of Bhṛgu, and the Aṅgirasas are also considered sons (of Aṅgiras). This lineage of Mārīca (Kaśyapa) should be known as possessing the current supremacy.
ऊर्जस्वी नाम चैवेन्द्रो महात्मा यज्ञभागभुक् ।
अतीतानागता ये च वर्तन्ते साम्प्रतञ्च ये ॥४॥
अतीतानागता ये च वर्तन्ते साम्प्रतञ्च ये ॥४॥
4. ūrjasvī nāma caivendro mahātmā yajñabhāgabhuk .
atītānāgatā ye ca vartante sāmpratañca ye.
atītānāgatā ye ca vartante sāmpratañca ye.
4.
ūrjasvī nāma ca eva indraḥ mahātmā yajñabhāgabhuk
atītānāgatāḥ ye ca vartante sāmpratam ca ye
atītānāgatāḥ ye ca vartante sāmpratam ca ye
4.
ca eva indraḥ nāma ūrjasvī mahātmā yajñabhāgabhuk
ye ca atītānāgatāḥ ye ca sāmpratam vartante
ye ca atītānāgatāḥ ye ca sāmpratam vartante
4.
And indeed, the great-souled Indra, named Ūrjasvī, is the one who consumes a share of the Vedic ritual (yajña) – encompassing all those who exist in the past, future, and present.
सर्वे ते त्रिदशेन्द्रास्तु विज्ञेयास्तुल्यलक्षणाः ।
सहस्राक्षाः कुलिशिनः सर्व एव पुरन्दराः ॥५॥
सहस्राक्षाः कुलिशिनः सर्व एव पुरन्दराः ॥५॥
5. sarve te tridaśendrāstu vijñeyāstulyalakṣaṇāḥ .
sahasrākṣāḥ kuliśinaḥ sarva eva purandarāḥ.
sahasrākṣāḥ kuliśinaḥ sarva eva purandarāḥ.
5.
sarve te tridaśendrāḥ tu vijñeyāḥ tulya-lakṣaṇāḥ
sahasrākṣāḥ kuliśinaḥ sarve eva purandarāḥ
sahasrākṣāḥ kuliśinaḥ sarve eva purandarāḥ
5.
All those lords of the gods (tridaśa-indra) should be understood as possessing similar characteristics: they are all thousand-eyed, wielding thunderbolts, and known as destroyers of cities (purandara).
मघवन्तो वृषाः सर्वे शृङ्गिणो गजगामिनः ।
ते शतक्रतवः सर्वे भूताभिभवतेजसः ॥६॥
ते शतक्रतवः सर्वे भूताभिभवतेजसः ॥६॥
6. maghavanto vṛṣāḥ sarve śṛṅgiṇo gajagāminaḥ .
te śatakratavaḥ sarve bhūtābhibhavatejasaḥ.
te śatakratavaḥ sarve bhūtābhibhavatejasaḥ.
6.
maghavantaḥ vṛṣāḥ sarve śṛṅgiṇaḥ gajagāminaḥ
te śatakratavaḥ sarve bhūtābhibhavatejasaḥ
te śatakratavaḥ sarve bhūtābhibhavatejasaḥ
6.
All of them are magnificent (maghavan), mighty (vṛṣa), distinguished (śṛṅgin), and move majestically like elephants (gajagāmin). Those all perform a hundred sacrifices (śatakratu) and possess a splendor capable of overpowering all beings.
धर्माद्यैः कारणैः सुद्धैराधिपत्यगुणान्विताः ।
भूतभव्यभवन्नाथाः शृणु चैतत् त्रयं द्विज ॥७॥
भूतभव्यभवन्नाथाः शृणु चैतत् त्रयं द्विज ॥७॥
7. dharmādyaiḥ kāraṇaiḥ suddhairādhipatyaguṇānvitāḥ .
bhūtabhavyabhavannāthāḥ śṛṇu caitat trayaṃ dvija.
bhūtabhavyabhavannāthāḥ śṛṇu caitat trayaṃ dvija.
7.
dharma-ādyaiḥ kāraṇaiḥ śuddhaiḥ ādhipatya-guṇa-anvitāḥ
bhūta-bhavya-bhavat-nāthāḥ śṛṇu ca etat trayam dvija
bhūta-bhavya-bhavat-nāthāḥ śṛṇu ca etat trayam dvija
7.
Endowed with the qualities of supremacy through pure reasons (śuddha kāraṇa) such as (dharma) and others, they are the lords of the past, present, and future. O twice-born (dvija), now listen to these three.
भूर्लोकोऽयं स्मृता भूमिरन्तरिक्षं दिवः स्मृतम् ।
दिव्याख्याश्च तथा स्वर्गस्त्रैलोक्यमिति गद्यते ॥८॥
दिव्याख्याश्च तथा स्वर्गस्त्रैलोक्यमिति गद्यते ॥८॥
8. bhūrloko'yaṃ smṛtā bhūmirantarikṣaṃ divaḥ smṛtam .
divyākhyāśca tathā svargastrailokyamiti gadyate.
divyākhyāśca tathā svargastrailokyamiti gadyate.
8.
bhūrlokaḥ ayam smṛtā bhūmiḥ antarikṣam divaḥ smṛtam
divyākhyāḥ ca tathā svargaḥ trailokyam iti gadyate
divyākhyāḥ ca tathā svargaḥ trailokyam iti gadyate
8.
This earthly realm (Bhurloka) is designated as the earth (bhūmi). Antariksha, the mid-region, is considered the heavenly realm (divas). And similarly, Svarga, which also carries divine appellations (divyākhyā), is thus spoken of as the three worlds (trailokya).

गौतमश्च भरद्वाजौ विश्वामित्रोऽथ कौशिकः ॥९॥
गौतमश्च भरद्वाजौ विश्वामित्रोऽथ कौशिकः ॥९॥

gautamaḥ ca bharadvājau viśvāmitraḥ atha kauśikaḥ
gautamaḥ ca bharadvājau viśvāmitraḥ atha kauśikaḥ
9.
Atri, and Vasiṣṭha, and Kāśyapa, the great sage; also Gautama, and Bharadvāja, Viśvāmitra, who is also Kauśika.

10. tathaiva putro bhagavānṛcīkasya mahātmanaḥ .

jamadagniḥ tu sapta ete munayaḥ atra gotra-antare
jamadagniḥ tu sapta ete munayaḥ atra gotra-antare
10.
Similarly, the revered son of the great-souled Ṛcīka, Jamadagni - these seven sages are present here in this lineage.

12.
Karūṣa, and Pṛṣadhra, and Vasumān, who is famous throughout the world. These nine sons of Vaivasvata Manu have been proclaimed.
वैवस्वतमिदं ब्रह्मन् कथितन्ते मयान्तरम् ।

13.
O Brahmin, I have narrated to you this account concerning Vaivasvata (Manu) and the intermediate period. O best of noble ones, a person who immediately hears or reads this (narrative) is liberated from all sins and attains great merit.
