1. śrīvasiṣṭhaḥ uvāca sumahān raṇaḥ sahasā ārabdhaḥ
evamprāyākulārambhaiḥ asuhāribhiḥ hṛtasaṃrabdhaiḥ asuraiḥ
1. Śrī Vasiṣṭha said: A very great battle was then suddenly commenced by the life-destroying asuras, who, with such agitated preparations, became furiously enraged.
माययाथ विवादेन सन्धिना विग्रहेण च ।
पलायनेन धैर्येण च्छन्नगोपायनेन च ॥ २ ॥
māyayātha vivādena sandhinā vigraheṇa ca ,

2. māyayā atha vivādena sandhinā vigraheṇa ca
palāyanena dhairyena cchannagopāyanena ca
2. atha māyayā vivādena sandhinā vigraheṇa ca
palāyanena dhairyena cchannagopāyanena ca
2. And then, [the battle was fought] with illusion (māyā), with dispute, with alliances, with warfare, with retreat, with courage, and with hidden strategies.
कार्पण्येनास्त्रयुद्धेन स्वान्तर्धानैश्च भूरिशः ।
धृतः स संगरो देवैस्त्रिंशद्वर्षाणि पञ्चकम् ॥ ३ ॥
kārpaṇyenāstrayuddhena svāntardhānaiśca bhūriśaḥ ,
dhṛtaḥ sa saṃgaro devaistriṃśadvarṣāṇi pañcakam 3
3. kārpaṇyena astra-yuddhena sva-antardhānaiḥ ca bhūriśaḥ
dhṛtaḥ saḥ saṃgaraḥ devaiḥ triṃśat varṣāṇi pañcakam
3. saḥ saṃgaraḥ kārpaṇyena astra-yuddhena ca bhūriśaḥ
sva-antardhānaiḥ devaiḥ triṃśat pañcakam varṣāṇi dhṛtaḥ
3. That conflict (saṃgara) was sustained by the gods for thirty-five years, characterized largely by acts of meanness, armed combat, and frequent self-concealments.
वर्षाणि दिवसान्मासान्दशाष्टौ सप्त पञ्च च ।
वर्षाणि पेतुर्वृक्षाग्निहेत्येकाशनिभूभृताम् ॥ ४ ॥
varṣāṇi divasānmāsāndaśāṣṭau sapta pañca ca ,
varṣāṇi peturvṛkṣāgnihetyekāśanibhūbhṛtām 4
4. varṣāṇi divasān māsān daśa aṣṭau sapta pañca ca
varṣāṇi petuḥ vṛkṣa-agni-heti-ekāśani-bhūbhṛtām
4. daśa aṣṭau sapta pañca ca varṣāṇi divasān māsān
vṛkṣa-agni-heti-ekāśani-bhūbhṛtām varṣāṇi petuḥ
4. For periods of ten, eight, seven, and five years, days, and months respectively, showers of trees, fire, weapons, singular thunderbolts, and even mountains fell.
एतावता तु कालेन दृढाभ्यासादहंकृतेः ।
दामादयोऽहमित्यास्थां जगृहुर्ग्रस्तचेतसः ॥ ५ ॥
etāvatā tu kālena dṛḍhābhyāsādahaṃkṛteḥ ,
dāmādayo'hamityāsthāṃ jagṛhurgrastacetasaḥ 5
5. etāvatā tu kālena dṛḍha-abhyāsāt ahaṅkṛteḥ
dāma-ādayaḥ aham iti āsthām jagṛhuḥ grasta-cetasaḥ
5. tu etāvatā kālena dṛḍha-abhyāsāt ahaṅkṛteḥ
grasta-cetasaḥ dāma-ādayaḥ aham iti āsthām jagṛhuḥ
5. Indeed, over such a long period, Dama and others, their minds seized by the persistent habituation to ego (ahaṅkāra), adopted the firm conviction 'I am'.
नैकट्यातिशयाद्यद्वद्दर्पणं बिम्बवद्भवेत् ।
अभ्यासातिशयात्तद्वत्ते साहंकारतां गताः ॥ ६ ॥
naikaṭyātiśayādyadvaddarpaṇaṃ bimbavadbhavet ,
abhyāsātiśayāttadvatte sāhaṃkāratāṃ gatāḥ 6
6. naikaṭya-atiśayāt yadvat darpaṇam bimbavat bhavet
abhyāsa-atiśayāt tadvat te sa-ahaṅkāratām gatāḥ
6. yadvat naikaṭya-atiśayāt darpaṇam bimbavat bhavet,
tadvat te abhyāsa-atiśayāt sa-ahaṅkāratām gatāḥ
6. Just as a mirror, due to extreme proximity (to an object), appears to become one with the reflection, similarly, they (Dama and others) attained the state of egoism (ahaṅkāra) through excessive practice.
यद्वद्दूरगतं वस्तु नादर्शे प्रतिबिम्बति ।
पदार्थवासना तद्वदनभ्यासान्न जायते ॥ ७ ॥
yadvaddūragataṃ vastu nādarśe pratibimbati ,
padārthavāsanā tadvadanabhyāsānna jāyate 7
7. yadvat dūragatam vastu na ādarśe pratibimbati
padārthavāsanā tadvat anabhyāsāt na jāyate
7. yadvat dūragatam vastu ādarśe na pratibimbati,
tadvat padārthavāsanā anabhyāsāt na jāyate
7. Just as a distant object is not reflected in a mirror, similarly, the latent impressions (vāsanā) of worldly objects do not arise without proper practice.
यदा दामादयो जाता अहंकारात्मवासनाः ।
तदा मे जीवितं मेऽर्थ इति दैन्यमुपागताः ॥ ८ ॥
yadā dāmādayo jātā ahaṃkārātmavāsanāḥ ,
tadā me jīvitaṃ me'rtha iti dainyamupāgatāḥ 8
8. yadā dāmādayaḥ jātāḥ ahaṅkārātmavāsanāḥ tadā
me jīvitam me arthaḥ iti dainyam upāgatāḥ
8. yadā dāmādayaḥ ahaṅkārātmavāsanāḥ jātāḥ tadā
me jīvitam me arthaḥ iti dainyam upāgatāḥ
8. When egoistic tendencies (ahaṅkārātmavāsanā) arise, manifesting as attachment to 'wealth (dāma) and the like,' then (people) succumb to misery, thinking 'this is my life, this is my purpose (artha).'
भववासनया ग्रस्ता मोहवासनया ततः ।
आशापाशनिबद्धास्ते ततः कृपणतां गताः ॥ ९ ॥
bhavavāsanayā grastā mohavāsanayā tataḥ ,
āśāpāśanibaddhāste tataḥ kṛpaṇatāṃ gatāḥ 9
9. bhavavāsanayā grastāḥ mohavāsanayā tataḥ
āśāpāśanibaddhāḥ te tataḥ kṛpaṇatām gatāḥ
9. bhavavāsanayā mohavāsanayā grastāḥ tataḥ
āśāpāśanibaddhāḥ te tataḥ kṛpaṇatām gatāḥ
9. Bound by the latent impressions (vāsanā) for repeated existence (bhava) and delusion (moha), and shackled by the ropes of hope, they consequently fall into a state of utter wretchedness.
मुग्धेव ह्यनहंकारैर्ममत्वमुपकल्पितम् ।
रज्ज्वां भुजङ्गत्वमिव दामव्यालकटैस्ततः ॥ १० ॥
mugdheva hyanahaṃkārairmamatvamupakalpitam ,
rajjvāṃ bhujaṅgatvamiva dāmavyālakaṭaistataḥ 10
10. mugdhā iva hi anahaṅkāraiḥ mamatvam upakalpitam
rajjvām bhujaṅgatvam iva dāmavyālakaṭaiḥ tataḥ
10. hi mugdhā iva rajjvām bhujaṅgatvam iva anahaṅkāraiḥ
dāmavyālakaṭaiḥ mamatvam upakalpitam tataḥ
10. Indeed, just as a foolish person imagines a snake (bhujaṅgatva) in a rope, similarly, possessiveness (mamatva) is superimposed even on objects distinct from the ego (anahaṅkāraiḥ), such as wealth (dāma), wild animals (vyāla), and common articles (kaṭa); from this (tataḥ) [further delusion arises].
आपादमस्तको देहः कथं मे भवतु स्थिरः ।
ममेति तृष्णाकृपणा दीनतां ते समाययुः ॥ ११ ॥
āpādamastako dehaḥ kathaṃ me bhavatu sthiraḥ ,
mameti tṛṣṇākṛpaṇā dīnatāṃ te samāyayuḥ 11
11. āpādamastakaḥ dehaḥ katham me bhavatu sthiraḥ
| mama iti tṛṣṇākṛpaṇāḥ dīnatām te samāyayuḥ ||
11. āpādamastakaḥ dehaḥ me katham sthiraḥ bhavatu
mama iti tṛṣṇākṛpaṇāḥ te dīnatām samāyayuḥ
11. How can my body, from head to toe, be permanent? Pitiful individuals, bound by the possessive thought 'this is mine,' fell into wretchedness.
स्थिरो भवतु मे देहः सुखायास्तु धनं मम ।
इति बद्धधियां तेषां धैर्यमन्तर्द्धिमाययौ ॥ १२ ॥
sthiro bhavatu me dehaḥ sukhāyāstu dhanaṃ mama ,
iti baddhadhiyāṃ teṣāṃ dhairyamantarddhimāyayau 12
12. sthiraḥ bhavatu me dehaḥ sukhāya astu dhanam mama |
iti baddhadhiyām teṣām dhairyam antardhim āyayau ||
12. me dehaḥ sthiraḥ bhavatu mama dhanam sukhāya astu
iti baddhadhiyām teṣām dhairyam antardhim āyayau
12. 'May my body be stable; may my wealth bring happiness' - for those whose minds are thus bound, their courage vanished.
सवासनत्वाद्वपुषामल्पसत्त्वात्सुरद्विषाम् ।
या तु प्रहारपरता मार्जितेवाशु साभवत् ॥ १३ ॥
savāsanatvādvapuṣāmalpasattvātsuradviṣām ,
yā tu prahāraparatā mārjitevāśu sābhavat 13
13. savāsanatvāt vapuṣām alpasattvāt suradviṣām | yā
tu prahāraparatā mārjitā iva āśu sā abhavat ||
13. suradviṣām vapuṣām savāsanatvāt [ca] alpasattvāt tu yā prahāraparatā [āsīt],
sā āśu mārjitā iva abhavat
13. However, due to the bodies of the enemies of the gods (suradvit) being full of latent impressions (saṃskāra) and their having little inner strength, their eagerness to strike quickly vanished, as if wiped away.
कथं सुरा जगत्यस्मिन्भवाम इति चिन्तया ।
विवशा दीनतां जग्मुः पद्मा इव निरम्भसः ॥ १४ ॥
kathaṃ surā jagatyasminbhavāma iti cintayā ,
vivaśā dīnatāṃ jagmuḥ padmā iva nirambhasaḥ 14
14. katham surāḥ jagati asmin bhavāma iti cintayā |
vivaśāḥ dīnatām jagmuḥ padmāḥ iva nirambhasaḥ ||
14. asmin jagati katham surāḥ bhavāma iti cintayā vivaśāḥ [te] dīnatām jagmuḥ,
nirambhasaḥ padmāḥ iva
14. Preoccupied with the thought, 'How can we become gods in this world?' they became helpless and fell into wretchedness, just like lotuses without water.
तेषां योषान्नपानेन स्वाहंकृतिमतां रतिः ।
बभूव भावभावस्था भीषणा भवभाजिनी ॥ १५ ॥
teṣāṃ yoṣānnapānena svāhaṃkṛtimatāṃ ratiḥ ,
babhūva bhāvabhāvasthā bhīṣaṇā bhavabhājinī 15
15. teṣām yoṣānnapānena svāhaṅkṛtimatām ratiḥ
babhūva bhāvabhāvāsthā bhīṣaṇā bhavabhājinī
15. svāhaṅkṛtimatām teṣām yoṣānnapānena ratiḥ
bhāvabhāvāsthā bhīṣaṇā bhavabhājinī babhūva
15. For those filled with their own ego (ahaṅkāra), their attachment to women, food, and drink became a terrifying state of being that perpetuated their cycle of existence (saṃsāra).
अथ तस्मिन्रणे भीत्या सापेक्षत्वमुपाययुः ।
मत्तेभघनसंरब्धे वने हरिणका इव ॥ १६ ॥
atha tasminraṇe bhītyā sāpekṣatvamupāyayuḥ ,
mattebhaghanasaṃrabdhe vane hariṇakā iva 16
16. atha tasmin raṇe bhītyā sāpekṣatvam upāyayuḥ
matta-ibha-ghana-saṃrabdhe vane hariṇakā iva
16. atha tasmin raṇe bhītyā matta-ibha-ghana-saṃrabdhe
vane hariṇakā iva sāpekṣatvam upāyayuḥ
16. Then, in that battle, they became mutually dependent out of fear, just like young deer (hariṇakā) in a forest agitated by numerous rutting elephants.
मरिष्यामो मरिष्याम इति चिन्ताहताशयाः ।
मन्दं मन्दं किल भ्रेमुः कुपितैरावणे रणे ॥ १७ ॥
mariṣyāmo mariṣyāma iti cintāhatāśayāḥ ,
mandaṃ mandaṃ kila bhremuḥ kupitairāvaṇe raṇe 17
17. mariṣyāmaḥ mariṣyāma iti cintāhatāśayāḥ mandam
mandam kila bhremuḥ kupita-airāvaṇe raṇe
17. iti cintāhatāśayāḥ kupita-airāvaṇe raṇe mandam
mandam kila bhremuḥ "mariṣyāmaḥ mariṣyāma"
17. Repeating "We will die! We will die!", their hopes shattered by such anxiety (cintā), they indeed wandered about slowly in that battle against the enraged Airāvaṇa.
शरीरैकार्थिनां तेषां भीतानां मरणादपि ।
अल्पसत्त्वतया मूर्घ्नि कृतमेव परैः पदम् ॥ १८ ॥
śarīraikārthināṃ teṣāṃ bhītānāṃ maraṇādapi ,
alpasattvatayā mūrghni kṛtameva paraiḥ padam 18
18. śarīraikārthinām teṣām bhītānām maraṇāt api
alpasattvatayā mūrdhni kṛtam eva paraiḥ padam
18. śarīraikārthinām maraṇāt api bhītānām teṣām
alpasattvatayā paraiḥ mūrdhni padam kṛtam eva
18. For those who desired only their body, terrified even of death, a step was indeed placed upon their heads by their enemies (paraiḥ) due to their lack of courage (alpasattvatā).
अथ प्रम्लानसत्त्वास्ते हन्तुमग्रगतं भटम् ।
न शेकुरिन्धने क्षीणे हविर्दग्धुमिवाग्नयः ॥ १९ ॥
atha pramlānasattvāste hantumagragataṃ bhaṭam ,
na śekurindhane kṣīṇe havirdagdhumivāgnayaḥ 19
19. atha pramlānasattvāḥ te hantum agragatam bhaṭam
na śekuḥ indhane kṣīṇe haviḥ dagdhum iva agnayaḥ
19. atha pramlānasattvāḥ te agragatam bhaṭam hantum na śekuḥ,
indhane kṣīṇe agnayaḥ haviḥ dagdhum iva
19. Then, those whose valor had faded were unable to strike down the advancing warrior, just as fires, with their fuel diminished, are unable to consume an oblation.
विबुधानां प्रहरतां मशकत्वमुपागताः ।
क्षतविक्षतसंघातास्तस्थुः सामान्यसद्भटाः ॥ २० ॥
vibudhānāṃ praharatāṃ maśakatvamupāgatāḥ ,
kṣatavikṣatasaṃghātāstasthuḥ sāmānyasadbhaṭāḥ 20
20. vibudhānām praharatām maśakatvam upāgatāḥ
kṣatavikṣatasaṃghātāḥ tasthuḥ sāmānyasadbhaṭāḥ
20. praharatām vibudhānām maśakatvam upāgatāḥ
kṣatavikṣatasaṃghātāḥ sāmānyasadbhaṭāḥ tasthuḥ
20. Before the attacking gods, they were reduced to insignificance like mosquitoes. Their bodies, wounded and shattered, they remained merely as ordinary brave soldiers.
बहुनात्र किमुक्तेन मरणाद्भीतचेतसः ।
दैत्या देवेषु वलगत्सु दुद्रुवुः समराजिरात् ॥ २१ ॥
bahunātra kimuktena maraṇādbhītacetasaḥ ,
daityā deveṣu valagatsu dudruvuḥ samarājirāt 21
21. bahunā atra kim uktena maraṇāt bhītacetasaḥ
daityāḥ deveṣu valagatsu dudruvuḥ samarājirāt
21. atra bahunā uktena kim,
maraṇāt bhītacetasaḥ daityāḥ deveṣu valagatsu samarājirāt dudruvuḥ
21. What more needs to be said here? With their minds terrified of death, the demons fled from the battlefield as the gods exulted.
तेषु द्रवत्सु भीतेषु सर्वतो दानवादिषु ।
दामव्यालकटाख्येषु विख्यातेषु सुरालये ॥ २२ ॥
teṣu dravatsu bhīteṣu sarvato dānavādiṣu ,
dāmavyālakaṭākhyeṣu vikhyāteṣu surālaye 22
22. teṣu dravatsu bhīteṣu sarvataḥ dānavādiṣu
dāmavyālakatākhyeṣu vikhyāteṣu surālaye
22. surālaye sarvataḥ teṣu dānavādiṣu
dāmavyālakatākhyeṣu vikhyāteṣu dravatsu bhīteṣu
22. As those Dānavas and others, including the renowned Dāma, Vyāla, and Kaṭa, fled terrified in all directions within the abode of the gods...
तद्दैत्यसैन्यं न्यपतद्विद्रुतं खादितस्ततः ।
कल्पान्तपवनोद्भूतं ताराजालमिवाभितः ॥ २३ ॥
taddaityasainyaṃ nyapatadvidrutaṃ khāditastataḥ ,
kalpāntapavanodbhūtaṃ tārājālamivābhitaḥ 23
23. tat daityasainyam nyapatat vidrutam khāditaḥ
tataḥ kalpāntapavanodbhūtam tārājālam iva abhitaḥ
23. daityasainyam tat vidrutam khāditaḥ tataḥ nyapatat
kalpāntapavanodbhūtam tārājālam iva abhitaḥ
23. That demon army, scattered and consumed, fell everywhere from that point, just like a multitude of stars dispersed all around by the wind at the end of a cosmic cycle (kalpa).
अमराचलकुञ्जेषु शिखराणां शिखासु च ।
तटेषु वारिराशीनां पयोदपटलेषु च ॥ २४ ॥

29. te surārayaḥ parvatākārāḥ sarvataḥ patitāḥ

29. Those enemies of the gods, colossal like mountains, fell everywhere, their limbs and feet shattered, their hands and arms severed.
