आगस्त्या शुद्धया बुद्ध्या विन्ध्येनेवोदितः स्वतः ॥ २ ॥

2. In the Vindhya forest, there lived an elephant, the chief of great herds. He was as if spontaneously brought forth by the Vindhya mountain itself, by means of Agastya's pure wisdom (buddhi).

कल्पानलशिखातुल्यौ सुमेरून्मूलनक्षमौ ॥ ३ ॥

kalpānalaśikhātulyau sumerūnmūlanakṣamau āstām
3. His two tusks were long, white, and formidable, resembling the flames of a thunderbolt. They were like the flames of the cosmic fire of dissolution, capable of uprooting Mount Sumeru.
स बद्धो लोहजालेन हस्तिपेन किलाभितः ।
मुनीन्द्रेणेव विन्ध्याद्रिरुपेन्द्रेणेव वा बलिः ॥ ४ ॥
sa baddho lohajālena hastipena kilābhitaḥ ,

4. sa baddhaḥ lohājālena hastipena kila abhitaḥ
munīndreṇa iva vindhyādriḥ upendreṇa iva vā baliḥ
4. kila saḥ hastipena abhitaḥ lohājālena baddhaḥ
munīndreṇa iva vindhyādriḥ vā upendreṇa iva baliḥ
4. Indeed, that elephant was bound all around by an elephant-keeper with an iron net, just as the Vindhya mountain (vindhyādri) was bound by the chief of sages or as Bali was bound by Upendra (Viṣṇu).
निबद्धो यन्त्रणामाप शस्त्रकुम्भर्दितो गजः ।
तां जगाम व्यथां धीरो नवाग्नौ पुरमेति याम् ॥ ५ ॥

5. dhīraḥ gajaḥ nibaddhaḥ śastrakumbhārditaḥ yantraṇām
āpa tām vyathām jagāma yām puram navāgnau eti
5. The elephant, though resolute, being firmly bound and wounded in the temples by weapons, suffered torment. He experienced that same distress which a city undergoes when it is consumed by a fresh fire.
रिपौ हस्तिपके दूरादपश्यति स वारणः ।
अयःसमुद्गके यस्मिन्निनाय दिवसत्रयम् ॥ ६ ॥

6. saḥ vāraṇaḥ ripau hastipake dūrāt apaśyati
yasmin ayaḥsamudgake divasatrayam nināya
6. That elephant, unnoticed by the enemy mahout from afar, had spent three days in that iron casket.
खेदान्निगडनिर्भेदे यत्नवान्स मतंगजः ।
चकार किकिणीक्वाणं मुखोद्धातैरथान्यदा ॥ ७ ॥

7. khedāt nigaḍanirbhede yatnavān saḥ mataṅgajaḥ
atha anyadā mukhodghātaiḥ kikiṇīkvāṇam cakāra
7. Distressed, that elephant, striving to break its fetters, then on another occasion made a tinkling sound with blows of its trunk.
दन्ताभ्यां यत्नतस्ताभ्यां मुहूर्तद्वितयेन सः ।
बभञ्ज शृङ्खलाजालं स्वर्गार्गलमिवासुरः ॥ ८ ॥
dantābhyāṃ yatnatastābhyāṃ muhūrtadvitayena saḥ ,
babhañja śṛṅkhalājālaṃ svargārgalamivāsuraḥ 8
8. dantābhyām yatnataḥ tābhyām muhūrtadvitayena saḥ

8. saḥ tābhyām dantābhyām yatnataḥ muhūrtadvitayena
śṛṅkhalājālam babhañja asuraḥ svargārgalam iva
8. With those two tusks, by strenuous effort, he broke the network of chains in two muhūrtas, just as a demon (asura) would break the bolt of heaven.
तं तस्य निगडच्छेदमपश्यद्दूरतो रिपुः ।
बलेः स्वर्गावदलनं हरिर्मेरुतलादिव ॥ ९ ॥
taṃ tasya nigaḍacchedamapaśyaddūrato ripuḥ ,
baleḥ svargāvadalanaṃ harirmerutalādiva 9
9. tam tasya nigaḍacchedam apaśyat dūrataḥ ripuḥ
baleḥ svargāvadalanam hariḥ merutalāt iva
9. ripuḥ dūrataḥ tasya tam nigaḍacchedam apaśyat
hariḥ merutalāt baleḥ svargāvadalanam iva
9. The enemy saw his breaking of the fetters from afar, just as Hari (Vishnu) saw Bali's destruction of heaven from the peak of Mount Meru.
तस्य विच्छिन्नपाशस्य मूर्ध्नि तालतरो रिपुः ।
पपात क्रमतः स्वर्गं हरिर्मेरोर्बलेरिव ॥ १० ॥
tasya vicchinnapāśasya mūrdhni tālataro ripuḥ ,
papāta kramataḥ svargaṃ harirmerorbaleriva 10
10. tasya vicchinnapāśasya mūrdhni tālataroḥ ripuḥ
papāta kramataḥ svargam hariḥ meroḥ baleḥ iva
10. tasya vicchinnapāśasya ripuḥ tālataroḥ mūrdhni
papāta kramataḥ svargam hariḥ meroḥ baleḥ iva
10. The enemy, whose bonds had been severed, fell from the palm tree onto his (the elephant's) head. In due course, he ascended to heaven (mokṣa), just as Hari (Indra) (descended) from Mount Meru upon Bali.
स पतन्पादपद्माभ्यामप्राप्य करिणः शिरः ।
पपातोर्व्यां फलं पक्वं वाताहतमिवाकुलः ॥ ११ ॥
sa patanpādapadmābhyāmaprāpya kariṇaḥ śiraḥ ,
papātorvyāṃ phalaṃ pakvaṃ vātāhatamivākulaḥ 11
11. saḥ patan pādapadmābhyām aprāpya kariṇaḥ śiraḥ
papāta urvyām phalam pakvam vātāhatam iva ākulaḥ
11. saḥ patan pādapadmābhyām kariṇaḥ śiraḥ aprāpya
ākulaḥ urvyām papāta pakvam vātāhatam phalam iva
11. Falling, he (the crocodile), without reaching the elephant's head with his lotus-like feet, fell to the ground, agitated, like a ripe fruit struck by the wind.
तं पुरः पतितं दृष्ट्वा महेभः करुणां ययौ ।
स्फुरत्स्फारगुणाः सन्तः सन्ति तिर्यग्गतावपि ॥ १२ ॥
taṃ puraḥ patitaṃ dṛṣṭvā mahebhaḥ karuṇāṃ yayau ,
sphuratsphāraguṇāḥ santaḥ santi tiryaggatāvapi 12
12. tam puraḥ patitam dṛṣṭvā mahebhaḥ karuṇām yayau
sphuratsphārguṇāḥ santaḥ santi tiryaggatau api
12. mahebhaḥ puraḥ patitam tam dṛṣṭvā karuṇām yayau
sphuratsphārguṇāḥ santaḥ api tiryaggatau santi
12. Having seen him fallen in front, the great elephant felt compassion. Indeed, noble persons, whose abundant virtues are manifest, exist even among animals.
पतितं दलयामीति किं नाम मम पौरुषम् ।
वारणोऽपीति कलयन्न जघान स तं रिपुम् ॥ १३ ॥
patitaṃ dalayāmīti kiṃ nāma mama pauruṣam ,
vāraṇo'pīti kalayanna jaghāna sa taṃ ripum 13
13. patitam dalayāmi iti kim nāma mama pauruṣam
vāraṇaḥ api iti kalayan na jaghāna saḥ tam ripum
13. patitam dalayāmi iti mama pauruṣam kim nāma iti
kalayan vāraṇaḥ api saḥ tam ripum na jaghāna
13. 'What kind of valor (pauruṣa) is it for me to crush one who has fallen?' Considering this, even the elephant did not kill that enemy.
केवलं निगडव्यूहं विदार्याभिजगाम ह ।
विततं सेतुमुत्सार्य विपुलौघ इवाम्भसः ॥ १४ ॥
kevalaṃ nigaḍavyūhaṃ vidāryābhijagāma ha ,
vitataṃ setumutsārya vipulaugha ivāmbhasaḥ 14
14. kevalam nigaḍavyūham vidārya abhijagāma ha |
vitatam setum utsārya vipulaughaḥ iva ambhasaḥ
14. kevalam nigaḍavyūham vidārya ha abhijagāma
vitatam setum utsārya ambhasaḥ vipulaughaḥ iva
14. The elephant, having merely broken through the network of its fetters, departed. It was like a vast current of water that, having pushed aside an extensive dam, rushes forth.
दयामाश्रित्य मातङ्गो भङ्क्त्वा जालं जगाम ह ।
विदार्य मेघसंघातं नभसीव दिवाकरः ॥ १५ ॥
dayāmāśritya mātaṅgo bhaṅktvā jālaṃ jagāma ha ,
vidārya meghasaṃghātaṃ nabhasīva divākaraḥ 15
15. dayām āśritya mātaṅgaḥ bhaṅktvā jālam jagāma ha
| vidārya meghasaṃghātam nabhasi iva divākaraḥ
15. mātaṅgaḥ dayām āśritya jālam bhaṅktvā ha jagāma
divākaraḥ nabhasi meghasaṃghātam vidārya iva
15. The elephant, relying on compassion (dayā), broke the net and departed, just as the sun tears through a mass of clouds in the sky.
गते गजे समुत्तस्थौ हस्तिपः स्वस्थदेहधीः ।
गजेनैव समं तस्य व्यथा दूरतरं गता ॥ १६ ॥
gate gaje samuttasthau hastipaḥ svasthadehadhīḥ ,
gajenaiva samaṃ tasya vyathā dūrataraṃ gatā 16
16. gate gaje samuttasthau hastipaḥ svasthadehathīḥ
| gajena eva samam tasya vyathā dūrataram gatā
16. gaje gate hastipaḥ svasthadehathīḥ samuttasthau
tasya vyathā gajena eva samam dūrataram gatā
16. When the elephant had departed, the elephant keeper arose, now sound in body and mind. His pain and distress vanished far away, just as the elephant itself had gone.
प्रोच्चलत्तालशिखरात्स तथा पतितोऽपि सन् ।
न भेदमाप दुर्भेदा मन्ये देहा दुरात्मनाम् ॥ १७ ॥
proccalattālaśikharātsa tathā patito'pi san ,
na bhedamāpa durbhedā manye dehā durātmanām 17
17. procchalattālaśikharāt saḥ tathā patitaḥ api san
| na bhedam āpa durbhedāḥ manye dehāḥ durātmanām
17. saḥ procchalattālaśikharāt tathā patitaḥ api san
bhedam na āpa manye durātmanām dehāḥ durbhedāḥ (santi)
17. Even though he had thus fallen from the summit of the swaying palm tree, he sustained no injury. I believe the bodies of the wicked (durātman) are difficult to break.
वर्धते प्रावृषीवाभ्रं कुकार्येष्वसतां बलम् ।
आसीदधिकमुत्साही स च चंक्रमणे तदा ॥ १८ ॥
vardhate prāvṛṣīvābhraṃ kukāryeṣvasatāṃ balam ,
āsīdadhikamutsāhī sa ca caṃkramaṇe tadā 18
18. vardhate prāvṛṣī iva abhram kukāryeṣu asatām
balam āsīt adhikam utsāhī saḥ ca caṅkrameṇe tadā
18. asatām balam kukāryeṣu prāvṛṣī abhram iva vardhate
ca tadā saḥ adhikam utsāhī caṅkrameṇe āsīt
18. The strength of the wicked, engaged in their evil deeds, grows just like a cloud in the rainy season. And then, he became even more enthusiastic in his roaming.
वारणारिरसिद्धाङ्गो गतेभो दुःखमाययौ ।
आगत्योपगतेऽन्तर्धिं निधान इव वर्धनः ॥ १९ ॥
vāraṇārirasiddhāṅgo gatebho duḥkhamāyayau ,
āgatyopagate'ntardhiṃ nidhāna iva vardhanaḥ 19
19. vāraṇāriḥ asiddhāṅgaḥ gatebhaḥ duḥkham āyayau
āgatya upagate antardhim nidhānaḥ iva vardhanaḥ
19. vāraṇāriḥ asiddhāṅgaḥ gatebhaḥ duḥkham āyayau vardhanaḥ
iva āgatya nidhānaḥ antardhim upagate [duḥkham āyayau]
19. The enemy of elephants (vāraṇāri), whose body was unsuccessful (in its hunt) and whose elephant had escaped, felt sorrow. It was like Vardhana (vardhana) felt when, having discovered a treasure, he then saw it vanish.
सोऽन्वियेष गजं यत्नाद्गुल्मकान्तरितं वने ।
पयोदपिण्डितं भोक्तुं राहुरिन्दुमिवाम्बरे ॥ २० ॥
so'nviyeṣa gajaṃ yatnādgulmakāntaritaṃ vane ,
payodapiṇḍitaṃ bhoktuṃ rāhurindumivāmbare 20
20. saḥ anviyeṣa gajam yatnāt gulmakāntaritam vane
payodapiṇḍitam bhoktum rāhuḥ indum iva ambare
20. saḥ yatnāt vane gulmakāntaritam gajam anviyeṣa
rāhuḥ ambare payodapiṇḍitam indum bhoktum iva
20. He diligently searched for the elephant, which was hidden by bushes in the forest. It was like Rahu seeking to devour the moon, which is obscured by clouds in the sky.
चिरेणालभतेभेन्द्रं कस्मिंश्चित्कानने स्थितम् ।
विश्रान्तं तं तरुतले समरादिव निर्गतम् ॥ २१ ॥
cireṇālabhatebhendraṃ kasmiṃścitkānane sthitam ,
viśrāntaṃ taṃ tarutale samarādiva nirgatam 21
21. cireṇa ālabhate ibhendram kasmiñcit kānane sthitam
viśrāntam tam tarutale samarāt iva nirgatam
21. cireṇa [saḥ] tam ibhendram kasmiñcit kānane sthitam
tarutale viśrāntam samarāt iva nirgatam ālabhate
21. After a long time, he obtains the great elephant (ibhendra), which is located in some forest, resting at the base of a tree, as if it has just emerged from battle (samara).
अथ यत्र स्थितो नागस्तत्र तद्बन्धनक्षमम् ।
परया राजसामग्र्या गजलम्पटभूमया ॥ २२ ॥
atha yatra sthito nāgastatra tadbandhanakṣamam ,
parayā rājasāmagryā gajalampaṭabhūmayā 22
22. atha yatra sthitaḥ nāgaḥ tatra tadbandhanakṣamam
parayā rājasāmagryā gajalampeṭabhūmayā
22. atha yatra nāgaḥ sthitaḥ tatra tadbandhanakṣamam
parayā rājasāmagryā gajalampeṭabhūmayā
22. Then, at the location where the elephant was situated, they prepared a ground capable of binding it, employing excellent royal provisions and a terrain enticing to elephants.
स खातवलयं चक्रे हस्तिपः काननेऽभितः ।
सर्वदिक्कं विधिर्भूमौ समुद्रवलयं यथा ॥ २३ ॥
sa khātavalayaṃ cakre hastipaḥ kānane'bhitaḥ ,
sarvadikkaṃ vidhirbhūmau samudravalayaṃ yathā 23
23. saḥ khātavalayam cakre hastipaḥ kānane abhitaḥ
sarvadikkam vidhiḥ bhūmau samudravalayam yathā
23. hastipaḥ saḥ kānane abhitaḥ sarvadikkam khātavalayam cakre,
yathā vidhiḥ bhūmau samudravalayam
23. The elephant keeper created a surrounding circle of pits in the forest, extending in all directions, just as creation (vidhi) makes the encircling oceans on the earth.
उपर्यस्थगयद्वाललतौघेन स तं शठः ।
शून्यतातन्तुजालेन शरत्काल इवाम्बरम् ॥ २४ ॥
uparyasthagayadvālalataughena sa taṃ śaṭhaḥ ,
śūnyatātantujālena śaratkāla ivāmbaram 24
24. upari asthagayat bālalataughena saḥ tam śaṭhaḥ
śūnyatātantujālena śaratkālaḥ iva ambaram
24. saḥ śaṭhaḥ upari tam bālalataughena asthagayat,
iva śaratkālaḥ śūnyatātantujālena ambaram
24. That cunning elephant keeper covered the pit from above with a thick growth of young creepers, just as the autumn season shrouds the sky with a veil of mist.
दिनैः कतिपयैरेव वारणो विहरन्वने ।
तस्मिन्निपतितः खाते शुष्काब्धाविव पर्वतः ॥ २५ ॥
dinaiḥ katipayaireva vāraṇo viharanvane ,
tasminnipatitaḥ khāte śuṣkābdhāviva parvataḥ 25
25. dinaiḥ katipayaiḥ eva vāraṇaḥ viharan vane
tasmin nipatitaḥ khāte śuṣkābdhau iva parvataḥ
25. katipayaiḥ dinaiḥ eva vane viharan vāraṇaḥ tasmin khāte nipatitaḥ,
iva parvataḥ śuṣkābdhau
25. In just a few days, the elephant, while wandering in the forest, plunged into that pit, just as a mountain might fall into a dry ocean.
व्रजन्पर्याकृतौ कूपे पातालतलभीषणे ।
खातशुष्काब्ध्यधोभागे गजरत्नसमुद्गके ॥ २६ ॥
vrajanparyākṛtau kūpe pātālatalabhīṣaṇe ,
khātaśuṣkābdhyadhobhāge gajaratnasamudgake 26
26. vrajan paryākṛtau kūpe pātālatalabhīṣaṇe
khātaśuṣkābdhi adhaḥ bhāge gajaratnasamudgake
26. vrajan paryākṛtau kūpe pātālatalabhīṣaṇe
khātaśuṣkābdhyadhobhāge gajaratnasamudgake
26. Entering a well, which was prepared as a trap, terrifying like the lowest depths of the netherworld, and situated in the bottom of a dry pit, the magnificent elephant (gajaratna) became as if contained within a jewel casket.
इति भूयो दृढं बद्धस्तेन हस्तिपकेन सः ।
तिष्ठत्यद्यापि दुःखेन भूसद्मनि यथा बलिः ॥ २७ ॥
iti bhūyo dṛḍhaṃ baddhastena hastipakena saḥ ,
tiṣṭhatyadyāpi duḥkhena bhūsadmani yathā baliḥ 27
27. iti bhūyaḥ dṛḍham baddhaḥ tena hastipakena saḥ
tiṣṭhati adyāpi duḥkhena bhūsadmani yathā baliḥ
27. iti saḥ tena hastipakena bhūyaḥ dṛḍham baddhaḥ
adyāpi duḥkhena bhūsadmani tiṣṭhati yathā baliḥ
27. Thus, repeatedly and firmly bound by that elephant-keeper, he (the elephant) remains, even today, in distress within an underground dwelling, just as Bali (the demon king) remains [imprisoned].
अहनिष्यत्पुरैवासौ यद्यग्रे पतितं रिपुम् ।
तन्नालप्स्यत्ततो दुःख गजः खातनिबन्धनम् ॥ २८ ॥
ahaniṣyatpuraivāsau yadyagre patitaṃ ripum ,
tannālapsyattato duḥkha gajaḥ khātanibandhanam 28
28. ahaniṣyat purā eva asau yadi agre patitam ripum tat
na alapsyat tataḥ duḥkham gajaḥ khātanibandhanam
28. yadi asau purā eva agre patitam ripum ahaniṣyat,
tat tataḥ gajaḥ duḥkham khātanibandhanam na alapsyat
28. If that elephant had struck down his fallen enemy earlier, he would not have experienced the distress of being confined in the pit.
मौर्ख्यादागामिन कालं वर्तमानक्रियाक्रमैः ।
अशोधयन्नरो दुःखं याति विन्ध्यगजो यथा ॥ २९ ॥
maurkhyādāgāmina kālaṃ vartamānakriyākramaiḥ ,
aśodhayannaro duḥkhaṃ yāti vindhyagajo yathā 29
29. maurkhyāt āgāminam kālam vartamānakriyākramaiḥ
aśodhayan naraḥ duḥkham yāti vindhyagajaḥ yathā
29. maurkhyāt vartamānakriyākramaiḥ āgāminam kālam aśodhayan naraḥ duḥkham yāti,
yathā vindhyagajaḥ
29. Due to foolishness, a man who fails to set right the future through his present actions experiences suffering, just as the Vindhya elephant did.
मुक्तोऽस्मि शस्त्रनिगडादिति तुष्टो हि वारणः ।
दूरस्थोऽपि पुनर्बद्धो मौर्ख्यं क्व च न बाधते ॥ ३० ॥
mukto'smi śastranigaḍāditi tuṣṭo hi vāraṇaḥ ,
dūrastho'pi punarbaddho maurkhyaṃ kva ca na bādhate 30
30. muktaḥ asmi śastranigaḍāt iti tuṣṭaḥ hi vāraṇaḥ
dūrasthaḥ api punaḥ baddhaḥ maurkhyam kva ca na bādhate
30. vāraṇaḥ śastranigaḍāt muktaḥ asmi iti hi tuṣṭaḥ
dūrasthaḥ api punaḥ baddhaḥ kva ca maurkhyam na bādhate
30. The elephant was indeed pleased, thinking, "I am freed from the fetters of weapons." Yet, even from a distance, he was bound again. Indeed, where does foolishness not cause obstruction?
मौर्ख्यं हि बन्धनमवेहि परं महात्मन्बद्धो न बद्ध इति चेतसि तद्विमुक्त्यै ।
आत्मोदयं त्रिजगदात्ममयं समस्तं मौर्ख्ये स्थितस्य सहसा ननु सर्वभूमिः ॥ ३१ ॥
maurkhyaṃ hi bandhanamavehi paraṃ mahātmanbaddho na baddha iti cetasi tadvimuktyai ,
ātmodayaṃ trijagadātmamayaṃ samastaṃ maurkhye sthitasya sahasā nanu sarvabhūmiḥ 31
31. maurkhyam hi bandhanam avehi param mahātman
baddhaḥ na baddhaḥ iti cetasi tat vimuktyai
ātmodayam trijagat ātmamayam samastam
maurkhye sthitasya sahasā nanu sarvabhūmiḥ
31. mahātman maurkhyam hi param bandhanam avehi
tat vimuktyai cetasi baddhaḥ na baddhaḥ
iti maurkhye sthitasya trijagat ātmamayam
samastam ātmodayam sahasā nanu sarvabhūmiḥ
31. O great soul (mahātman), know that foolishness is indeed the supreme bondage. For liberation from that (bondage), the mind (cetas) remains caught in the thought, 'I am bound, not unbound.' Indeed, for one who is established in foolishness, the entire manifestation of the Self (ātman), which pervades the three worlds, cannot suddenly become the universal state (sarvabhūmi).
