दीयतामिति शीघ्रं वै नात्र कार्या विचारणा ॥२१॥

22. kāmarūpiṇā rakṣasā vyāhṛtam tat vākyam śrutvā
pṛthivīpatiḥ bhakṣasaṃskārakuśalam uvāca
22. Hearing that statement spoken by the demon who could assume any form at will, the king addressed the one skilled in preparing food.
हविष्यं सामिषं स्वादु यथा भवति भोजनम् ।
तथा कुरुष्व शीघ्रं वै परितुष्येद् यथा गुरुः ॥२३॥

25. saḥ atha mānuṣam māṃsam pārthivāya nyavedayat: idam
svādu haviṣyam ca sāmiṣam ca annam āhṛtam (iti)
25. He then presented human flesh to the king, (saying): 'This food, which is delicious, consecrated, and meaty, has been prepared.'

sāmiṣam tat bhojanam rakṣasā hṛtam
26. He offered food to Vasiṣṭha along with his wife, Madayantī. O tiger among men, that food, which contained flesh, had been stolen by a demon.

27. vipraḥ bhojanāhṛtam mānuṣam tat āmiṣam jñātvā,
mahatā krodhena āviṣṭaḥ vyāhartum upacakrame
27. Having realized that the flesh brought for his meal was human, the Brahmin (Vasiṣṭha), overcome by great anger, began to speak.
यस्मात्त्वं भोजनं राजन्ममैतद्दातुमिच्छसि ।
तस्माद्भोजनमेतत्ते भविष्यति न संशयः ॥२८॥

28. rājan,
yasmāt tvam mama etat bhojanam dātum icchasi,
tasmāt etat bhojanam te bhaviṣyati,
saṃśayaḥ na
28. O King, since you desire to offer this food (which contains human flesh) to me, therefore, your food will also be of this same kind. There is no doubt about it.

29. saḥ rājā patnyā saha vai muhuḥ muhuḥ praṇipatya,
punaḥ brahmarūpiṇā yat uktam (tat) vasiṣṭham provāca
29. That king, along with his wife, indeed repeatedly prostrated and then spoke again to Vasiṣṭha, regarding what had been declared by the one who embodied the form of the Absolute (brahman).
तच्छ्रुता पार्थिवेन्द्रस्य रक्षसा विकृतं च तत् ।
पुनः प्रोवाच राजानं वसिष्ठः पुरुषर्षभम् ॥३०॥
30. tacchrutā pārthivendrasya rakṣasā vikṛtaṃ ca tat ,
punaḥ provāca rājānaṃ vasiṣṭhaḥ puruṣarṣabham.

tat punaḥ provāca rājānam vasiṣṭhaḥ puruṣarṣabham
30. vasiṣṭhaḥ pārthivendrasya rakṣasā vikṛtam tat ca
tat śrutvā punaḥ puruṣarṣabham rājānam provāca
30. Hearing that, which had been distorted by the demon, Vasiṣṭha again spoke to that best among men, the lord of kings.
मया रोषपरीतेन यदिदं व्याहृतं वचः ।
नैतच्छक्यं वृथा कर्तुं प्रदास्यामि च ते वरम् ॥३१॥
31. mayā roṣaparītena yadidaṃ vyāhṛtaṃ vacaḥ ,
naitacchakyaṃ vṛthā kartuṃ pradāsyāmi ca te varam.
31. mayā roṣaparītena yat idam vyāhṛtam vacaḥ na
etat śakyam vṛthā kartum pradāsyāmi ca te varam
31. roṣaparītena mayā yat idam vacaḥ vyāhṛtam etat
vṛthā kartum na śakyam ca te varam pradāsyāmi
31. This word that was uttered by me, overcome by anger, cannot be rendered futile. However, I shall grant you a boon.
कालो द्वादश वर्षाणि शापस्यास्य भविष्यति ।
मत्प्रसादाच्च राजेन्द्र अतीतं न स्मरिष्यसि ॥३२॥
32. kālo dvādaśa varṣāṇi śāpasyāsya bhaviṣyati ,
matprasādācca rājendra atītaṃ na smariṣyasi.
32. kālaḥ dvādaśa varṣāṇi śāpasya asya bhaviṣyati
mat prasādāt ca rājendra atītam na smariṣyasi
32. asya śāpasya kālaḥ dvādaśa varṣāṇi bhaviṣyati
ca rājendra matprasādāt atītam na smariṣyasi
32. The term of this curse will be twelve years. And by my grace, O king of kings, you will not remember what has passed.
एवं स राजा तं शापमुपभुज्यारिमर्दनः ।
प्रतिलेभे पुना राज्यं प्रजाश्चैवान्वपालयत् ॥३३॥
33. evaṃ sa rājā taṃ śāpamupabhujyārimardanaḥ ,
pratilebhe punā rājyaṃ prajāścaivānvapālayat.

33. evam saḥ arimardanaḥ rājā tam śāpam upabhujya
punaḥ rājyam pratilebhe ca eva prajāḥ anvapālayat
