1. His companions said: 'Look! This traveler, sitting on a Mandara shrub, is narrating the story of his separation from his long-cherished beloved.'

2. Listen attentively to this excellent and astonishing event. Filled with worry, I said (to myself), 'I need to send a messenger to you.'
अस्मिन्महाप्रलयकालसमे वियोगे यो मां तयेह मम याति गृहं स कः स्यात् ।

saḥ kaḥ syāt? na eva asti asau jagati yaḥ paraduḥkhaśāntyai prītyā nirantarataram saralam yateta
3. In this separation, which resembles the time of a great cosmic dissolution, who would be the one to come to my house, here to me, along with her? Truly, there is no one in the world who would strive so continuously and sincerely, with love, for the alleviation of another's sorrow.
आ एष शिखरे मेघः स्मराश्व इव संयुतः ।

4. ā eṣaḥ meghaḥ śikhare smarāśvaḥ iva saṃyutaḥ

4. Ah, this cloud on the mountain peak stands united as if with the horse of the god of love (smara), embraced by the charming lightning creeper, like a connoisseur enjoying himself.

5. O brother cloud, adorn your neck with the fitting rainbow (Mahendracāpa) as a garland, and roar softly for a moment. Please show mercy! That young, slender girl, whose tender body is delicate like a young lotus stalk, has eyes full of tears and is unable to endure this suffering. O good friend, go to her and console her with trickling drops of water and gentle breezes.

6. payoda cittatūlikayā vyomni likhitvā āliṅgitā satī
(api) adhunā eva itaḥ kva gatā iti na jāne dayitā
6. Having drawn (her image) in the sky with the brush of my mind, and then having embraced her, O cloud, I do not know where my beloved has gone from here just now.

7. O slender one, my memory, that memory of you, has vanished somewhere, as my mind is overcome by anxiety and its faculties are entirely absorbed within. I have become helpless, my body's limbs resembling a wooden wall. For who, indeed, is capable of enduring the anguish born from the suffering of separation?

8. Subsequently, a confused clamor arose among the gathered company of travelers. With sorrowful laments, distressed by their misfortune, they cried out to the cloud. "Alas, the traveler is dead!" - a great outburst of cries of lamentation (hāhā-śabda) began, accompanied by the wives of the travelers, rising up and beating their expansive chests.

9. "This one is dead," the people declared, their eyes filled with tears as they performed the funeral rites (śāvī pūjā) and gathered wood. Then, I was led, overcome with great fear, to the terrifying cremation ground (śmaśāna), which was dreadful with the endless, rising, bursting, and distinct "paṭa-paṭa" sounds of the blazing pyre.
तत्राहं तैः कमलवदने बाष्पपूर्णाक्षिपक्षैर्न्यस्तः कैश्चिच्चितिशयनके बद्धलोकालिलेखे ।

10. tatra,
kamalavadane,
aham taiḥ bāṣpapūrṇākṣipakṣaiḥ kaiścit baddhalokālilekhe citiśayanake nyastaḥ (tat) dhūmodgārāvirala jaṭile mattamṛtyoḥ mastake cūḍāratnottamaḥ iva (asti) agnihemni kalāmātradṛśye (ca)
10. There, O lotus-faced one (kamalavadane), I was placed by some people, whose eye-corners were full of tears, onto the pyre-bed (citiśayanaka), which was surrounded by a multitude of observers. It was (like) the supreme crest-jewel on the head of intoxicated Death (mṛtyu), dense with continuous smoke emissions, barely visible like a mere speck of gold in the fire.
अस्मिन्काले कुवलयलताकोमला धूमलेखा नासारन्ध्रं मृदुगलबिलं मे प्रवृत्ता नियातुम् ।
उष्णा कृष्णा नकुलकलिता सत्वरं बालसर्पी भूमे रन्ध्रं तनुमिव दराद्दैर्घ्यसंकोचकुब्जा ॥ ११ ॥

11. asmin kāle kuvalayalatakomalā dhūmalekhā nāsārandhram

11. asmin kāle kuvalayalatākomalā dhūmalekhā me nāsārandhram mṛdu galabilam niyātum pravṛttā uṣṇā kṛṣṇā nakulakalitā bālasarpī darāt dairghyasaṃkocakubjā,
tanum randhram iva bhūmeḥ satvaram (pravṛttā)
11. At that moment, a plume of smoke (dhūmalekhā), soft and delicate like a blue lotus creeper, began to enter my nostril and my soft throat passage. It was like a hot, dark, coiling baby snake, swiftly entering a narrow hole in the earth, hunched and contracting its length out of fear.
त्वत्संकल्पामृतकवचितो नापविद्धस्तयाहं कुन्तश्रेण्या दृढपतनया वज्रकायो यथाजः ।

marma-cchedeṣu api vilasitāḥ tāḥ vedanāḥ na avidam
12. Protected by the nectar of your resolve, I was not struck by the forceful shower of spears, just like Aja, whose body is like a thunderbolt. Immersing myself in you, a nearby river of love, within the sanctuary of my heart, I did not experience those pains, even when vital points were severely wounded.

buddhiḥ rājya-ābhogaḥ viśasanam iva alpa-alpam eva iti
13. Oh slender one, that appropriate time, playful and restless within my heart, was experienced by me here for a very long duration with you. Upon seeing that (experience), the realization emerges - as if from a lake of nectar with surging waves of joy - that even the enjoyment of a kingdom (rājyābhoga) is like a mere slaughter, utterly insignificant.

14. That playfulness, your charms, and also your smiling speech; your glances, which are fitting for the unfolding of ensuing joy and are a singular adornment even from afar - all these were agitated by the surges of cessation of effort, mocking laughter, and movements.
किंवा तत्तन्न यत्संस्मृतममृतरसाह्लादमंतः करोति ।

15. What is there, when remembered, that does not fill the heart with a nectar-like delight? Oh young girl, through the elixir of sexual pleasure (surata) in union with you, I became exhausted from excessive contentment. I lay there on a soft bed, as if on the autumn-cool, pure and radiant disc of the moon.
अत्रान्तरे झटिति चन्दनपङ्कशीताद्दीर्घादिवेन्दुशकलादशनिः सशब्दः ।

16. At that moment, suddenly, I saw a loud thunderbolt, which seemed to originate from a long, moon-like sliver, cool with sandalwood paste. This fire, burning on the ground and resembling the submarine fire (vāḍavāgni) of the milk ocean, landed on my body from my own couch.
सहचरा ऊचुः ।

17. asmin kānte iti uktavati,
hā hatā asmi iti vādinī mugdhā maugdhyāt vara āvarta śaṅkayā mūrcchitā sthitā
17. When her beloved man (kānta) had thus spoken, she, the bewildered one, exclaiming 'Alas, I am ruined!', fainted and remained unconscious due to her bewilderment and the fear of an excellent whirlpool.

18. He remained there, comforting her in that state with a fan made of lotus leaves and with water, and embracing her.
पुनः पृष्टोऽनया वक्ति पश्य तामेव संकथाम् ।

19. anayā punar pṛṣṭaḥ eṣa vakti: "paśya tām eva saṃkathām!" pārśvagatām enām priyām cibuke gṛhītvā.
.

19. When again questioned by her, he says, 'Listen to that very same story!' (And) he, holding his beloved, who was by his side, by the chin...
हा हा हुताश इति किंचिदिवोपजातखेदो वदामि खलु यावदहं त्वरावान् ।

20. “Alas, alas, O Fire!” - while I, somewhat saddened, was speaking these words in haste, that very moment, that pyre was instantly overturned by those agile travelers, and in an instant, it became agitated with crackling sounds.
पान्थास्ततस्तरलतालविलासवाद्यमालिङ्ग्य मामतनुशेखरपूरिताङ्गम् ।

21. Then, having embraced me - whose body was adorned with a massive headdress and who served as a lively, rhythmic instrument - all the travelers, having firmly set me in position and surrounded me, roared, sang, laughed, danced, and leaped.
विषमविनायकसुखदं वलितं भस्माहिशवशिरःप्रकरैः ।

22. Then a fierce cremation ground (śmaśāna) was seen, which was like a terrible body (vapu) of Rudra, providing pleasure to formidable vināyakas (malevolent spirits), covered in ashes and masses of snake-corpse heads, and possessing skulls and bones white like the moon.

23. There, the winds (vāta) blow, carrying away peripheral shadows, and permeated with the scent of agitated, bursting, moist skeletons. They spread a dense mist (mihikā) infused with abundant ash, shaking the hairs of corpses in the expanse of the sky. These winds, appearing like arrows fallen from the moon, also create harsh sounds through the tinkling of the bones of Śaṅkara's devotees.

24. That land, where the trees have leaves utterly parched by the intense heat stirred by winds emerging from the continuous flow of blazing funeral pyres, takes on the appearance of a pleasure abode for Fire, Wind, and Yama (the son of Bhāskara).

25. That cremation ground (śmaśānam) was seen, dense with innumerable terrible skulls and skeletons, putrid-smelling, and frightful with the cacophony of shrieks from maddened jackals, crows, kites, vultures, goblins, and vampires.

26. The distant groves of that place (śmaśānam) resounded with the lamentations of the groups of relatives who had brought various corpses, and its multitude of burnt tree fragments was bound together by string-like moist heads and entrails, which had been dragged down by birds.
क्वचिच्चितिक्षोभकृतप्रकाशं क्वचिन्महाकेशकृताब्दवृन्दम् ।

27. Somewhere, there was light caused by the stirring of pyres; somewhere, masses of clouds were formed by the abundant hair (smoke from burning hair); and somewhere, an expanse of ground was stained with blood. At night, it appeared like a setting mountain, resembling a thundering cloud.
