Bhūśuṇḍa spoke: O venerable one (brahman), O master of knowledge, I have boldly recounted to you my current state and identity here, solely for the purpose of fulfilling your command.

Śrī Vasiṣṭha said: "Oh, venerable one, how truly marvelous! The narration of your own spiritual journey (ātman), which you have recounted, is an embellishment to the sacred tradition (śruti) and a profound source of wonder."
धन्यास्ते ये महात्मानमत्यन्तचिरजीवनम् ।

dvitīyam padma-jam iva paripaśyanti dhanyāḥ
dvitīyam padma-jam iva paripaśyanti dhanyāḥ
3.
Blessed are those who behold you, the great soul (mahātman) who possesses an exceedingly long life, perceiving you as a second Brahmā (padmajam).

Today, our eyes are indeed blessed, because you have recounted your entire, uninterrupted spiritual journey (ātman), which is truly purifying for the intellect.
प्रभातं दिक्षु सर्वासु दृष्टा विबुधभूतयः ।

asmin jagati bhavān iva mahān na avalokitaḥ
5.
Dawn has broken, and divine manifestations (vibudhabhūtayaḥ) have been observed in all directions. However, in this world, no one as great as you has been seen.
कथंचित्प्राप्यते कश्चिद्भ्रान्त्वेव हि महाजनः ।

jagati kvacit bhavān iva bhavyātmā na sulabhaḥ
jagati kvacit bhavān iva bhavyātmā na sulabhaḥ
6.
A great person (mahājana) is somehow found, as if after much wandering. However, a noble soul (bhavyātmā) like you is certainly not easily found anywhere in the world.

7.
Just as a pearl is indeed born in some particular section of bamboo, similarly, one like you is seen in some particular part of the world.

8.
Indeed, a very great and auspicious deed has been accomplished by me today, because you, a soul (ātman) liberated from a meritorious body, have been seen.
तदस्तु तव कल्याणं प्रविशात्मगुहां शुभाम् ।

9.

yat me madhyāhnasamayaḥ suramandiram vrajāmi
yat me madhyāhnasamayaḥ suramandiram vrajāmi
9.
Therefore, may you have welfare. Enter your sacred inner cave (ātmaguhā). Because it is midday, I must go to the temple of the gods.

10.
Having heard this, Bhūśuṇḍa rose from the tree. With his two hands, which he had created by his will, he took the golden leaf that had manifested.

11.
The perfectly intelligent one filled that vessel with an offering of pearls, using the cool-radiant filaments of a flower from a wish-fulfilling tree (kalpavṛkṣa) creeper.
तेनार्घ्यपाद्यपुष्पेण त्रिनेत्रमिव मामसौ ।

12.
With that offering of respectful water for the feet and flowers, that ancient one (Bhūśuṇḍa) worshipped me from foot to head with devotion (bhakti), as if I were the three-eyed (Śiva).
अनुव्रज्याकदर्थेन खगेन्द्रालमिति ब्रुवन् ।

alam' iti bruvan anuvrajyākadarthenena viṣṭarāt utthāya tataḥ khagavat āplutaḥ
13.
Saying, 'O king of birds, enough of this trouble (akadarthenena) of following me!', I rose from my seat and then soared (āpluta) like a bird.
व्योम्नि योजनमात्रं तु मदनुव्रज्यया गतः ।
करं करेणावष्टभ्य बलात्संरोधितः खगः ॥ १४ ॥
करं करेणावष्टभ्य बलात्संरोधितः खगः ॥ १४ ॥

14.
vyomni yojanamātram tu madanuvrajyayā gataḥ
karam kareṇa avaṣṭabhya balāt saṃrodhitaḥ khagaḥ
karam kareṇa avaṣṭabhya balāt saṃrodhitaḥ khagaḥ
14.
khagaḥ madanuvrajyayā vyomni yojanamātram gataḥ
tu karam kareṇa avaṣṭabhya balāt saṃrodhitaḥ
tu karam kareṇa avaṣṭabhya balāt saṃrodhitaḥ
14.
Although the bird had accompanied me for just a yojana in the sky, it was forcibly restrained when I grasped its talon with my hand.
मयि याते क्षणेनैव गगनाध्वन्यदृश्यताम् ।
निवृत्तोऽसौ विहंगेन्द्रो दुस्त्यजा संगतिः सताम् ॥ १५ ॥

vihaṃgendraḥ nivṛttaḥ satām saṃgatiḥ dustyajā
vihaṃgendraḥ nivṛttaḥ satām saṃgatiḥ dustyajā
15.
As soon as I had departed into the sky's path and instantly became invisible, that king of birds returned. Indeed, the association of the virtuous is difficult to abandon.

aham khagasmṛtyā vyomni adṛśyatām munīn yātaḥ
kasmiṃcit ambudhau anyonyam api taraṅgaka iva
kasmiṃcit ambudhau anyonyam api taraṅgaka iva
16.
Remembering the bird, I became invisible in the sky as I proceeded towards the sages, just as one wave merges indistinguishably with others in the ocean.

Formerly, at the beginning of the Kṛtayuga, two hundred years having passed, I reached the constellation of the seven sages (saptarṣimaṇḍala) and was honored by my wife.

18.
O Rāma, I once met Bhuśuṇḍa on a tree situated on a peak of Mount Meru. Today, with the Kṛta Yuga having waned, the Tretā Yuga is now underway.
मध्ये त्रेतायुगस्यास्य जातस्त्वं रिपुमर्दन ।

19.
O destroyer of enemies, you were born in the middle of this Tretā Yuga. Again today, in the eighth year, Bhuśuṇḍa met me there on top of that very mountain, just as he was, endowed with an ageless form.

Having thus heard this wonderful and excellent account of Bhuśuṇḍa, and having deliberated upon it internally, indeed act according to what is appropriate.

Śrī Vālmīki said: 'Whoever with a pure intellect thoroughly contemplates this virtuous narrative of Bhuśuṇḍa will effortlessly traverse the river of unreality (saṃsāra), which is characterized by abundant fear of existence (saṃsāra) and agitation, and in which one is situated.'
