गच्छावोऽच्छतरं तत्र चेतः पुण्यैर्भविष्यति ॥ १५ ॥

gacchāvaḥ tatra cetaḥ puṇyaiḥ acchataram bhaviṣyati
15. Let us go to that hermitage (āśrama) of sages, which resembles the world of Brahma, for glory. There, our minds will become purer through meritorious actions.
विदुषामपि धीराणामपि तत्त्वविदामपि ।
त्वरते हि मनः पुंसामलंबुद्धिविलोकने ॥ १६ ॥

tvarate hi manaḥ puṃsām alambuddhivilokane
16. hi puṃsām manaḥ viduṣām api dhīrāṇām api

17. tena iti ukte ca tau āvām tam munyāśramam ca prāptau
yāvat tatra mahāraṇye ca paśyāvaḥ antarūpiṇam
17. And when this was spoken by him, we two arrived at that hermitage (āśrama) of sages. While there, in that great forest, we beheld an entity whose form was unseen or internal.
न वृक्षं नोटजं किंचिन्न गुल्मं न च मानवम् ।
न मुनिं नार्भकं नान्यन्न वेदिं न च वा द्विजम् ॥ १८ ॥

18. na vṛkṣam na kiñcit uṭajam na gulmam na ca mānavam na
munim na arbhakam na anyat na vedim na ca vā dvijam
18. Neither a tree nor any hut, nor a bush, nor a human, nor a sage, nor a child, nor anything else; neither an altar, nor indeed a twice-born (dvija) person.

तापोपतप्तमभितो भूमौ स्थितमिवाम्बरम् ॥ १९ ॥
kevalaṃ śūnyamevāti tadaraṇyamanantakam ,

upataptam abhitaḥ bhūmau sthitam iva ambaram
19. tat anantakam araṇyam kevalam śūnyam eva ati
abhitaḥ tāpa upataptam bhūmau sthitam iva ambaram
19. That boundless wilderness was nothing but utter emptiness, everywhere tormented by heat, like the sky itself fallen upon the earth.
हा कष्टं किमिदं जातमिति तस्मिन्वदत्यथ ।
आवाभ्यां सुचिरं भ्रान्त्वा दृष्ट एकत्र वृक्षकः ॥ २० ॥

20. "Alas, what a misfortune, what is this that has befallen us?" As he was speaking thus, after the two of us had wandered for a very long time, we finally spotted a single small tree.

तले तस्य समाधाने संस्थितो वृद्धतापसः ॥ २१ ॥

21. snigdhacchaviḥ ghanacchāyaḥ śītalaḥ ambudharopamaḥ
tasya tale vṛddhatāpasaḥ samādhāne saṃsthitaḥ
21. Its appearance was glossy, its shade dense and cool, comparable to a cloud. Beneath it, an old ascetic was seated, absorbed in deep meditation (samādhi).
आवामग्रे मुनेस्तस्य च्छायायां शाद्वलस्थले ।
उपविष्टौ चिरं यावन्नासौ ध्यानान्निवर्तसे ॥ २२ ॥

22. āvām tasya muneḥ agre chāyāyām śādvalasthale
upaviṣṭau yāvat asau dhyānāt na nivartase ciram
22. The two of us sat there for a long time in front of that sage, in the shade on the grassy patch of ground, waiting until he emerged from his meditation (dhyāna).
ततश्चिरेण कालेन मयोद्वेगेन चापलात् ।
उक्तं मुने प्रबुध्यस्व ध्यानादित्युच्चकैर्वचः ॥ २३ ॥

23. tataḥ cireṇa kālena mayā udvegena ca cāpalāt mune
dhyānāt prabudhyasva iti uccakaiḥ vacaḥ uktam
23. Then, after a long time, driven by impatience and restlessness, I loudly said to the sage, "O sage, wake up from your meditation (dhyāna)!"
शब्देनोच्चैर्मदीयेन संप्रबुद्धोऽभवन्मुनिः ।
सिंहोऽम्बुदरवेणेव जृम्भां कृत्वाभ्युवाच च ॥ २४ ॥

24. madīyena uccaiḥ śabdena muniḥ samprabuddhaḥ abhavat,
ambuda-raveṇa iva siṃhaḥ jṛmbhām kṛtvā ca abhyuvāca
24. The sage fully awakened by my loud voice, like a lion by the sound of thunder, and having yawned, he spoke.
कौ भवन्ताविमौ साधू क्वासौ गौर्याश्रमो गतः ।
केन वाहमिहानीतः कालोऽयं कश्च वर्तते ॥ २५ ॥
kau bhavantāvimau sādhū kvāsau gauryāśramo gataḥ ,

25. imau kau bhavantau sādhū? kva asau gaury-āśramaḥ gataḥ?
vā kena aham iha ānītaḥ? ca ayam kaḥ kālaḥ vartate?
25. Who are you two venerable persons? Where has Gauri's hermitage gone? And by whom was I brought here? What time is this now?
तेनेत्युक्ते मयाप्युक्तं भगवन्विद्धि ईदृशम् ।
न किंचिदावां बुद्धोऽपि कस्माज्जानासि न स्वयम् ॥ २६ ॥

26. tena iti ukte mayā api uktam bhagavan viddhi īdṛśam
na kiṃcit āvām buddhaḥ api kasmāt jānāsi na svayam
26. tena iti ukte,
mayā api uktam: bhagavan,
īdṛśam viddhi.
āvām kiṃcit na [jānīvaḥ].
api kasmāt svayam na jānāsi?
26. When he had thus spoken, I replied: "O venerable one, understand this: We two know nothing. Why do you not know it yourself, even though you are awakened?"
इति श्रुत्वा स भगवान्पुनर्ध्यानमयोऽभवत् ।
ददर्शोदन्तमखिलमस्माकं स्वात्मनस्तथा ॥ २७ ॥

27. iti śrutvā saḥ bhagavān punaḥ dhyānamayaḥ abhavat
(saḥ) asmākam akhilam udantam tathā svātmanaḥ dadarśa
27. Having heard this, that venerable sage (Bhagavān) once again became absorbed in deep meditation (dhyāna). Through it, he perceived the entire sequence of events concerning us, as if within his own being.
मुहूर्तमात्रेणोवाच प्रबुध्य ध्यानतो मुनिः ।
श्रूयतामिदमाश्चर्यमार्यौ हि कार्यवेदिनौ ॥ २८ ॥

28. muniḥ dhyānataḥ prabudhya muhūrtamātreṇa uvāca (saḥ provāca) idam āścaryam śrūyatām,
hi āryau kāryavedinau
28. Awakening from his meditation (dhyāna) within a mere moment, the sage spoke: "Listen to this wondrous tale, for indeed, you two noble ones are experts in these matters."
यमिमे पश्यथः साधू कदम्बतरुपुत्रकम् ।
मदास्पदमरण्यान्या धम्मिल्लमिव पुष्पितम् ॥ २९ ॥

29. Whom you two sages see as this young Kadamba tree, which is my dwelling place, resembling a blossoming top-knot (dhammilla) or ornament of the forest.

30. kenāpi kāraṇena asmin sati satī vāgīśvarī

30. For some particular reason, the virtuous goddess of speech (Vāgīśvarī) herself dwelled in that very spot (referring to the Kadamba tree) for ten years, experiencing (literally, 'served by') all the seasons.

33. Whose directions are made fragrant by the nectar of mandāra and kunda flowers; which shines brilliantly like the moon amidst masses of blooming flowers; which is charming with the blossoming, smile-like clusters of santānaka flowers; and which is teeming with multitudes of creeper-women (latā-aṅganā) swayed by the fragrant breeze.
