Adhyaya 199

हिन्दी अर्थ

पिता उग्रसेनको भी मौतके घाट उतारूगा । तत्पश्चात् समस्त गोपोंका गोधन और सारा वैभव छीन लूँगा, क्योंकि वे दुष्ट मेरे वधकी इच्छा करते हैं। दानपते! तुम्हारे सिवा ये सभी यादव बडे दुष्ट हैं,

English

I shall mention what has transpired on the southern bank of Ganga. On the northern bank there is the holy centre named Indresvara. Listen with devotion observing holy rites with controlled senses. The excessively arrogant enemy of Indra named Namuci was very strong. He fought with Indra Indra removed his head with Phena (watery foam). By performing penance he became invincible to all Devas. He became very terrible. His son also was very power¬ ful, difficult to be conquered by Devas. After conquering Indra Mahasani marched against Varuna in order to conquer him. Varuna of great intellect offered his daughter to Mahaiani.

हिन्दी अर्थ

अतः मैं क्रमशः इनका भी वध करनेके लिये प्रयत्न करूंगा । तदनन्तर यादवोंसे रहित यह समस्त अकण्टक राज्य अकेला ही भोगूँगा। अत: वीर! तुम मेरी प्रसन्नताके लिये वहाँ जाओ। गोपोंसे

English

Varuna gave his own abode in ocean to Mahasani. Friendship was generated between Varuna and Mahasani in this way. Visnu alone shall be the person to restore Indra. He alone is the slayer of Daityas. He alone shall be the seer of Mantras. He will create another Indra. By whom have you been created, O Indra? Your valour is useless. Wherefore do you boast so much? You are being tormented by enemies in the battlefield. Still you continue to be Indra. This is ridiculous. You have been caught and imprisoned by me in the battle along with your vehicle. Your miraculous weapon (Thunderbolt) of uncontrollable power has been (cast off) some¬ where. Fie upon your life! After being set free through the intercession of the lord of waters you still wish to live despite

हिन्दी अर्थ

ऐसा कहना जिससे वे भेंसका घी, दही आदि उपहारकी वस्तुएँ लेकर शीघ्र यहाँ आयें।'

English

"That which is the storehouse of fame is life, that which is antagonistic to fame is death"—even after knowing this, O Indra, how did you get yourself released through the intercession of the lord of Waters? Why don't you feel ashamed? You were staying in heaven surrounded by Devas fanned by your beloved wife and eulogized by the celestial damsels. I think, indeed, bashfulness is afraid of you. "You are the slayer of Vj-tra, killer ofNamuci, breaker of cities; with the thunderbolt in your hand you have split the mountains". Thus Devas honour you. Hence, O victorious one I abandon all these. After saying this, the lord of Daityas gave Indra to the noble-souled Varuna. Thereafter, he said these words again.

हिन्दी अर्थ

अक्रूरजी बड़े भगवद्धक्त थे। कंसके इस प्रकार आदेश देनेपर उन्हें बड़ी प्रसन्नता हुई । इसी बहाने कल भगवान् श्रीकृष्णके दर्शन तो करूँगा, इस विचारने उन्हें उतावला बना दिया। राजा

English

From now onwards Indra shall be the disciple and Varuna the preceptor—Varuna who is my father-in-law and through whom, O Indra, you have attained freedom. In the same manner you shall behave like a servant unto Varuna. Otherwise, I will be obliged to imprison you and hurl you into the nether worlds. After rebuking Indra thus and laughing again and again he took leave of Varuna and said (to Indra) "Go, go". Indra then reached his abode completely overwhelmed by shame. He told his wife the details of his defeat and discomfi¬ ture at the hands of the enemy.

हिन्दी अर्थ

कंससे “बहुत अच्छा' कहकर अक्रूरजी शीघ्र ही रथपर सवार हुए और मथुरापुरीसे निकलकर नन्दगाँवकी ओर चल दिये।

English

I have been told thus and treated thus, O lady of splen- O Indra, the slayer of Bala, I know the origin of Danavas, their Maya, mortification, grant of boons as well as their death. Hence, I shall say for your satisfaction everything necessary for the death or defeat of that demon. He propitiated Brahma by means of penance and obser¬ vances. He acquired a great power like this. What is it that cannot be achieved by means of penance?

हिन्दी अर्थ

इधर कंसका दूत महाबली केशी कंसके ही आदेशसे वृन्दावनमें आया। श्रीकृष्णचन्द्रका वध करना ही उसकी यात्राका उद्देश्य था। उसने घोड़ेका रूप धारण कर रखा था। वह अपनी टापोंसे

English

Hence, no undue worry or wonder should be entertained by you. Listen. This must be pursued as it is overdue. There too you shall go to that land which has become a holy centre. There you will attain all cherished desires by worshipping Visnu and Siva. Again this has been heard by me. Only those women who are chaste ladies know everything. The world consisting of the mobile and immobile is sustained by them. By means of devotion, penance or prayer perform the rite of propitiation along with me. Then you will attain welfare by the favour of lord Siva and lord Visnu.

हिन्दी अर्थ

पृथ्वीको खोदता, गर्दनके बालोंसे बादलोंको उड़ाता तथा वेगसे उछलकर चन्द्रमा और सूर्यके भी मार्गको लाँघता हुआ गोपोंके समीप आया । उसके हींसनेके

English

If a man performs a good rite unknowingly the lord gives him as much benefit as he deserves; but if he performs it knowingly it shall be hundred times more beneficial. If a man performs a holy rite along with his wife it has everlasting benefit. If a man does any thing alone he gets only half the benefit, but if he does it along with his wife, O lord, the man gets abundant benefit. This idea occurs in the Vedas too, which say that one who has understood holy rites very well takes the help of his wife. It subdues sins entirely. It bestows all cherished desires. Hence, go there along with me. Perform meritorious rites yield¬ ing great benefit.

हिन्दी अर्थ

भगवान् गोविन्दकी शरणमें गयीं। उनकी त्राहि- त्राहिको पुकार सुनकर भगवान् श्रीकृष्ण जलपूर्ण मेघकी गर्जनाके समान गम्भीर वाणीमें इस प्रकार बोले-- गोपालगण ! इस केशीसे डरनेकी आवश्यकता

English

At the outset he bowed down to Gahga. After taking the holy bath he joined his palms in reverence. Seeking sole refuge in Siva he recited the following prayer: May that Pinaka-bearing lord be pleased with us— the lord who creates, protects and devours the entire universe consisting of the mobile and immobile beings through his own Maya but does not get entangled in it; who is single, who is independent and who is of the nature of non-dual knowledge and happiness. May that consort of Parvati be pleased with me, the lord whose reality even Sanaka and others conversant with the esoteric doctrine of Vedanta, do not know; who is the bestower of all cherished desires and who is the enemy of Demon Andhaka. 1 The self-born lord created Brahma and saw his terrible head. He plucked it off with the tips of his nails. He hurled it when it stuck to his nails and from it the three objects 2 of worldly existence, viz., virtue, love and wealth, originated. Sin, poverty, greed, begging, delusion and adversity were born therefrom. Many other endless things also took shape from them. They became influential. They had the features of worldly misery. This entire visible world is pervaded by them.

हिन्दी अर्थ

नहीं है। आपलोग तो गोप-जातिके हैं । इस तरह भयसे व्याकुल होकर अपने वीरोचित पराक्रमका लोप क्यों कर रहे हैं ? अरे! इस हैत्यमें शक्ति ही कितनी है, यह हमारा क्या कर लेगा? यह तो

English

On seeing everything, the lord of Devas became bewil¬ dered and said to the goddess: "The whole universe is crumbling down. O goddess of the worlds, protect it. O mother of the worlds, the sole refuge, O gentle lady, O fortunate one. A demon with a thousand arms and heads, two thousands eyes and feet, so called because he walked like a blind man; killed by Siva when he attem¬ pted to carry off the Purijata tree from Svarga. Trivarga, i.e. the three supreme objects desired by worldly persons, vu., Dharma, Artha and Kama. The fourth is Moksa or ultimate deliverance from the world of transmigration. All the four together are know as caturvarga i.e. four kinds of highest objects or Purufdrthacatu}taya i.e. four supreme objects of human endeavour. O bestower of boons, the foundation of the universe, be victorious. You are the enjoyment of worldly pleasures, you are the concentration, you are the highest liberation. You were Svaha, Svadha, Svasti (hail), the primordial spiritual achieve¬ ment, the speech and the intellect, O immortal goddess, devoid of old age.

हिन्दी अर्थ

जोर-जोरसे हिनहिनाकर केवल आतङ्क फैला रहा है । इसपर तो हैत्योंकी सेना सवारी करती है । यह दुष्ट अश्व व्यर्थ ही उछल-कूद मचा रहा है ।' ग्वालोंसे यों कहकर भगवानूने उस हैत्यसे कहा--

English

At my behest you accord protection to the three worlds. They shall be created by you alone as variegated and wonderful as the one created by Prakfti." On being told thus by lord Siva, the beloved wife of the lord became eager to embrace and chat lovingly to the lord. When she became tired she closely clung to half of the body of Siva and discharged drops of sweat from the tips of her fingers. Then Vi§nu became pleased and spoke, "What should be given?" O IndranI, I do not seek refuge except in my friend Vr?akapi. Either libation of water or the Havis offering in fire had been my favourite always. I do not go anywhere else. My beloved one, I swear so by your body. O beautiful lady, it does not behove you to think suspiciously about me.

हिन्दी अर्थ

'ओ दुष्ट ! इधर आ। मैं कृष्ण हुँ । जैसे पिनाकधारी वीरभद्रने पूषाके दाँत तोड़ दिये थे, उसी तरह मैं

English

You are a chaste lady and my beloved one. You assist me in the performance of holy rites and advise me (on im¬ portant matters). You have children. You are of noble birth. Who else can be my beloved? It may be difficult to attain liberation there (in a For practice of piety and attainment of other world there is nothing equal to a good son. To a distressed man there is no other curative remedy than his wife. Hence, O chaste lady, due to your intellect all these mentally cherished things have been obtained by the grace of Siva, Visnu and Ganga.

हिन्दी अर्थ

यों कहकर भगवान् श्रीकृष्ण केशीके सामने गये। वह हैत्य भी मुँह फैलाकर उनकी ओर दौड़ा। श्रीकृष्णे अपनी बाँहको बढ़ाकर दुष्ट केशीके मुखमें घुसेड़ दिया। उससे टकराकर केशीके

English

You are my perpetual dear companion. There is nothing more endearing to me. Hence, by the grace of all these I have acquired everything desired by me. This holy centre well known in the three worlds is pleasing to me. Hence, I will request Devas for only this: Let them in due order permit this. Let the sages, Ganga, Devas, Hari and Sankara permit this. O Devas, on either bank of the river, there is Sankara in Ijidresvara and lord Janardana in Abjaka on the other side. Visnu, Trivikrama, directly sanctifies the Dandaka forest. Whatever holy centres are in between are the bestowers of everything meritorious.
