³¹⁹ Yoga is compared to a sacrifice. In a mental Yajna i.e. Yoga one need not dedicate inferior articles to fire as oblations. Though the Yogin does not observe the practices of the external but inferior sacrifice he however acquires similar fruits. The Sruti says that if the Yogins wish to see the region of the dead their ancestral manes appear before them. When a Yogin attains to a consummate stage he sees unseen and unheard of objects. The ordinary persons, who celebrate sacrifices, are not entitled to know the Great Atman; they are allowed to know Isvara. Atman is the Real Absolute God and Isvara is the God endued with Maya or creative energy. In the inferior sacrifices there is the difference of fruits proportionate to the excess and absence of reverence but in the _Atma-yajna_ _i.e._ Yoga there is no such thing for the common object of all is the attainment of salvation.

Vaishampāyana said:—Although they listened to the instructions of their preceptor in the shape of a mountain those Brāhmana house-holders, devoted to asceticism, could not give up bodily attachment. So the worship of fire with oblations daily increased and the worship of Vishnu and preceptors was also introduced. Thus O king, for the purification of the souls of the Brāhmanas Karma Kānda was introduced in this world by those Brahmavādins (1-2). Near the mount Vindhya on this earth there is a sacred province by the name of Kurukshetra which is even, shorn of thorns and full of woods and twigs by which fire may be lighted. Performing God's work with pure heart the great Brāhmana householders lived there and practised ascetic penances. Even the Yatis with great eagerness live there for acquiring piety. The Brāhmanas, who have followed the Vānaprastha mode of life, who perform Agnihotra ceremony, who have controlled their anger and passions, who wear bark and deer-skin and who live on unsolicited food, also wish to live there. O king, gradually obtaining it by the will of the Providence, the Brāhmanas, with great care observe this mode of life. He, who knows this sacred initiation which was practised by the Brahmavadi Munis of old, attains to eternal virtue. Without thoroughly mastering the Vedas one should not lead the life of a householder, should not observe the most difficult Brahmachārya, should not live the life of a hermit, and should not give up the duties of a householder. Save by mastering the Vedas miseries will never end. To the reciters of the Saman and Yajur Vedas the Riks are their acquirement. The ascetic Brāhmanas, who wish to live like householders, can receive instructions of the Vedānta from their preceptors and reap the fruits thereof. A pious king should compell him who does not hear the Vedas or celebrate the Vedic rites to act like a Sudra. On the other hand there is none amongst the Brāhmanas who does not respect the Vedas. A student or a householder, every Brāhmana controls his mind when he listens to the enunciation of his duties, reads the Vedas and receives the instructions. Therefore no king should disregard a Brāhmana. Therefore a Brāhmana, who acquires the knowledge of Sāstras, who gains the transcendental knowledge, should thus read the Vedas and control his senses (3-15).

Vaishampāyana said:—The Rishis and Gandharvas, headed by Nārada, who were well-read in the Vedas and who were not visited by sins consequent upon the omission of rites, worshipped the Brāhmanas with placing the sun and moon before them. And they always worshipped the Grandfather (Brahmā) in sacrifices as a son adores his father. Eulogised with sweet words by those Brāhmanas who had controlled their five senses, who always did good by all creatures and wished them well the Lord Brahmā said:—"By good luck (you have undertaken those sacrifices)" (1–4).

Thereupon the omnipotent Lord addressed Kashyapa saying:—"You will, with your sons, celebrate sacrifices on earth. The Yakshas and the Asuras will all celebrate sacrifices with profuse gifts." Thereupon desirous of vanquishishing one another the Daityas, elated with the pride of their strength, and the Devas began to quarrel, saying "We will first celebrate sacrifices, we will adore," and were about to fight with one another. The Rishis, whose sins had been washed away by ascetic penances and the Brāhmanas who had read the Vedas and their auxiliaries, prevented them all. Although prevented like unto bulls in Gokula they began to fight with one another. Leaving aside sacrifices they began to fight in right earnest. And when the battle set in they felt a desire for conquering their vital breath and met with death in the presence of all creatures. Thereupon controlling their external senses through understanding and non-attachment engendered by true Jnāna the Asuras and Suras, like unto birds with wings, controlled their own minds.

हिन्दी अर्थ

त्वं हि सर्वस्थ जगतः कर्ता हर्ता प्रधानत: । प्रभव: सर्वकार्याणां वक्ता श्रोता प्रमाणवित् ध्याता ध्यानमयो ध्येय इति ब्रह्मविदो विदु: । जेता देवरिपूणां च गोप्ता नाकसदां भवान् को नु नाम नयो वेद त्वां विना साम्प्रतं वद । नीतिस्त्वं सर्वकार्याणामिति मे निश्चिता मति: ततः स भगवान् विष्णुरेवमेव नृपोत्तम

English

Thereupon as a boat sinks down under the pressure of the weight of men so the earth, the ground of sacrifices, was agitated with the flames of worldly objects. Like unto roaring bulls the Yoga postures are broken and the tubes are agitated by the vital breaths. Afterwards Madhu, whose intellectual faculties were agitated and Vishnu, identical with the quality of Sattwa, fought a dreadful battle which almost overturned the cycle and struck terror unto all creatures. Thereupon as the cloud pacifies the forest set on fire so Vishnu controls all the mental energies. He, who recites the name of the Lord, appears in Sattwa-guna after controlling his mind (1-16).

Vaishampāyana said:—That powerful Daitya Madhu of dreadful prowess bound Mahendra on that mountain with a sharpened noose³²⁴ (1). According to the words of Pralhada and on the wane of true understanding Madhu, desirous of possessing the future dignity of Indra, bound him all on a sudden with invincible iron nooses; and issuing out for battle at the head of his army he invited the fierce Vishnu for fight, as if urged on by death himself (2-4). Having divided themselves into divisions Kashyapa's sons subjected themselves to Madhu's control. And taking up huge clubs they ran out for battle. The Gandharvas and Kinnaras, expert in the art of singing and dancing, sang and danced on all sides. With the sweet music of stringed instruments they pleased the fighting Madhu and made him absent-minded. When the Dānavas and Devas came within each other's view Madhu, shouting up, fixed his mind on singing. As fire lives secretly in wood, so Vishnu, with his Yoga eyes, drew Madhu's mind into the objects of senses and disappeared in the mount Mandara. Having their minds pained a little the Rishis, of burning intelligence, placed the Grandfather before them and disappeared within a moment (5-11).

हिन्दी अर्थ

बहुत ही कठिन है, ऐसा नीतिज्ञ पुरुष कहते हैं। जनार्दन! चार प्रकारकी नीति बतलायी जाती है--साम, दान, दण्ड और भेद। मनुष्योंके निग्रह (दूसरेके द्वारा अपना अवरोध) और अवग्रह (अपने द्वारा दूसरोंका अवरोध) होनेपर सदा इन्हीं चार नीतियोंका प्रयोग होता है। हरे! जो दण्डनीय (दुर्बल) हों, उन शत्रुओंके प्रति नीतिज्ञ पुरुष दण्ड-नीतिके ही प्रयोगकी इच्छा करते हैं और नीतिकी समता होनेपर अर्थात् शत्रुके अपने समान बलशाली होनेपर उसके प्रति साम-नीतिका ही प्रयोग अभीष्ट माना जाता है॥ २०-२१॥ शत्रु बलवान हों तो उनके प्रति दान-नीतिका प्रयोग उचित होता है (अर्थात् उन्हें कुछ भेंट देकर शान्त कर देना आवश्यक समझा जाता है)। जहाँ साम, दान और दण्ड--इन तीनों नीतियोंकी पहुँच न हो सके, वहाँ महान् 'भेद' का प्रयोग करना चाहिए, यह नीतिज्ञ पुरुषोंका मत है

English

Worked up with anger, Madhu, having eyes rolling in intoxication, struck Vishnu on the forehead with his hands. But he did not lose a single step for it (12). Vishnu too struck with the tip of his finger the Daitya Madhu on the breast. Thereat vomitting blood he dropped down on earth. Awating for the the hour of wrestling Vishnu, of inconcievable prowess, expert in fighting, did not strike the Daitya when he fell down. Thereupon touching the ground with his knee-joints the Daitya Madhu rose up like Indra's flag-staff. And having his mind filled with anger he, as if, consumed all the quarters with his eyes. Afterwards roaring with harsh words and desirous of killing one another they engaged in wrestling (13–16). They were both endued with the strength of arms, expert in fighting, great ascetics and truthful. Those two great heroes began to assail each other. It appeared that two mountains, with rocky wings, were fighting with each other. Infuriated with fighting they wrestled with one another on the ground. And as two elephants strike each other with their tusks so they struck each other with their nails

हिन्दी अर्थ

उन-उन सभी नीतियोंमें विद्वान् पुरुष आपको ही प्रमाण मानते हैं (आपने जिस अवसरपर जैसी नीतिका प्रयोग किया है, वहाँ वही उचित था, ऐसा लोगोंका मत है) । यहाँ बहुत कहनेसे क्या लाभ? सारा ज्ञान आपमें ही वैजशम्पायनजी कहते हैं--नृपश्रेष्ठ। ऐसा कहकर अतिशय भगवान् श्रीकृष्णने इसी तरह यादव-सभामें महाबाहु बलराम, महाराज उग्रसेन तथा कृतवर्मासे पूर्वोक्त बात कही। कामपाल पुनर्विष्णुरिदं प्रोवाच तत्त्ववित्। न प्रमादस्त्वया कार्य: सर्वदा यत्नवान् भव स्थिते त्वयि महाबाहो का पीडा जगतो भवेत्। गदी भव सदा त्वार्य न क्रीडा सर्वदा भवेत्

English

Thereupon as after the termination of the summer season and in the beginning of the rainy season gold, mixed with other mineral substances, comes out of the mountains so blood gushed out profusely from the wounds. Covered with gushing blood they began to tear the surface of the earth with their feet. Striking each other in many ways those two heroes fought as the two birds, desirous of eating flesh, fight with each other with their wings. Thereupon creatures heard the Siddhas sing the glories of Vishnu identical with truth and all spiritual powers in the sky over Pushkara. With the elements of fire, water and earth this body is formed. And consciousness is then set to that body. United with the body and senses as consciousness the great Brahman is called Jiva. When the subtle cause is destroyed all the primary elements exist in it, and that subtle substance again appears in many forms. The subtle soul, although disassociated from the body, pervades all objects of the three worlds as consciousness and enjoys them. For the suppression of the wicked and protection of the pious. Iswara, identical with Yoga and the protector of Dyuloka, assumes the form of a man, Shesha, tortoise and others and upholds Ananta who holds up the earth and the four Vedas identical with himself. The Lord exists in the Brāhmanas as the Vedas, in the Kshatriyas as warfare, as trade in the Vaishyas and as service in the Sudras (29–29). Living in the kine the Lord is distributing amongst you milk and sustaining you. Stationed in sacrificial ingredients he is protecting you with fruits, the departed manes with the smoke of Havi and the gods with a portion of Havi (30). With four elements and seven sorts of food the Lord, along with the departed manes, is protecting the three worlds (31). The form of those seven kinds of food is the sun and the moon, which becomes manifest and unmanifest through their own energy (32). Mind, words and vital breaths—these three continually increase the sun; and with the remaining four the moon increases in his own disc (33). The three classes of Pitris spoil the balls of food offered to them and the remaining four classes accept them (34). As gold is converted into an ear-drop so thou art hidden in the five senses: thou dost live in egoism and other principles; thou hast emanated from the Eternal and Undecaying Brahman (35). The fire and air draw energy from thee: because they draw their energies from thee thou art called Aditya (36). When the end of the cycle sets in, thou dost as if scorch the universe with thy rays and devour it: and therefore thou dost attain to the highest spiritual power (37). In Amavashyā (the night in which the moon is not at all visible) and the full-moon night thou dost range secretly with the Rishis sprung from the sun, moon and the Vasus (38). Thou dost celebrate sacrifices which yield nourishment, grant heaven and do not bring about the deterioration of virtue. During Amavasyā and Purnimā thou dost appear in trees, herbs and the earth as the moon. And for being born again thou dost take birth every fortnight (39-40).

English

O lord of elements, whatever exists on the surface of the earth for the nourishment of creatures who have gone away and who will come again is identical with thee (41). All the daily obligatory rites that are extant on earth are identical with thee. Thou art at one with Yajna, Karma, Mantra, words and _atman_ (42). There are two ways leading to heaven, the sun and the clear moon. The latter is the way to the region of the departed manes and the former is to that of the celestials (43). In the shape of creatures and guided by mortal regulations thou dost range in the universe only; destroying the senses in thy own form thou art living invisible to all. Thou art born alone; thou art the ancient universal Purusha: thou art undecaying and incomparable: thou art self-controlled and yet thou dost play. In energy thou art like fire, and thou art ranging assuming the form of air: and thou art always enveloped with five subtle elements. In the work of the control of mind and external senses thou dost exist as Jiva; in the work of emancipation thou art the Pure Intelligence; and in the work of daily destruction thou art in the form of Rudra. Thou dost protect the universe as Vishnu. The various orders and castes are identical with thee: thou art the consciousness of the eye and senses. The self-controlled and sinless Munis, who have attained the Great Brahman through their works, who consider the friend and foe as equal, always serve thee (44-48).

वृष्णिवंशावतंस श्रीकृष्णससे कहा--' बहुत अच्छा' उनकी आज्ञा शिरोधार्य करके सभी वृष्णिवंशी अपने- अपने घरको लौट गये। तब जगन्नाथ श्रीकृष्णने पर्वतप्रवर कैलासको जानेका विचार किया इति श्रीमहाभारते खिलभागे हरिवंशे भविष्यपर्वणि कैलासयात्रायां पदञ्नसप्ततितमो5ध्याय: इस प्रकार श्रीमहाभारतके खिलभाग हरिवंशके अन्तर्गत भविष्यपर्वमें श्रीकृष्णका कैलास-यात्राविषयक पचहत्तरवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ गरुड़पर आरूढ़ होकर श्रीकृष्णका बदरिकाश्रममें जाना, मार्गमें देवताओं-मुनियोंद्वारा उनकी स्तुति

English

Thus eulogised by the various Siddhas and Munis the great Vishnu thought of the form of Hayashira. While the Lord assumed the form identical with the Vedas and the body identical with all the gods Siva remained on his head and Brahmā in his heart. The rays of the sun remained on his Kundalas and the moon and the sun on his two eyes. The Vasus remained on his two Janghās and all the Siddhas and gods on his joints. The Vedas remained in his words, the Maruts and Varuna on his knee-joints. Having thus assumed a huge form, highly wonderful even unto the gods the Lord Hari, with his eyes reddened in anger, began to assail the Asura the very personification of stupefaction. Like unto a youthful damsel clad in a white cloth the earth was filled with Madhu's fat and flesh (49–58). Therefore, O king, the earth is called Medini and perhaps for thousands of Asuras she has obtained the appellation of Dharani (59).

³²⁴ The esoteric meaning of the passage is that Madhu the spirit of stupefaction which is a demonaic emotion, binds (_Mohendra_) the soul within the body.

वैशम्पायनजी कहते हैं--जनमेजय ! तदनन्तर जगदीश्वर श्रीकृष्णने मन-ही-मन पक्षिराज गरुड़का चिन्तन करते हुए कहा--तार्क्ष्य शीघ्र आओ' कुरुश्रेष्ठ तब भगवान् गरुड़ वहाँ आ पहुँचे, जिन्हें वेदकी राशि माना गया है; वे बलवान, पराक्रमी, योगी तथा शास्त्रों (शास्त्रज्ञों)-के नेता हैं॥२॥ यज्ञ उनका स्वरूप है, वे पुराणात्मा और पावन हैं, सामवेद उनका मस्तक है, ऋग्वेद उनकी पाँखें हैं, पक्षधारी गरुड़ पिड्रलवर्णके हैं, उनकी आकृति जटिल दिखायी देती है ॥३॥ उनकी चोंच ताँबेके समान लाल है। वे अमृतका हरण करनेवाले हैं। उन्होंने युद्धमें इन्द्रको जीत लिया था। उनका मस्तक विशाल है। वे सर्पोंके शत्रु हैं और साक्षात् दूसरे विष्णुकी भाँति कमलसदृश नेत्रोंसे सुशोभित होते हैं॥४॥ वे देवाधिदेव भगवान् विष्णुके वाहन तथा दानवपत्रियोंके गर्भका उच्छेद करनेवाले हैं। वे अपने पंखोंके बलसे राक्षमों और असुरोंके समूहपर विजय पाते हैं

English

Vaishampāyana said:—Beholding Madhu's overthrow in Pushkara, all the creatures, filled with joy, sang and danced on all sides (1). As if riving the sky with its golden summits covered with various mineral substances the foremost of mountains Supārshwa shone there (2). The mountains covered all over with minerals shone there with elevated summits like unto clouds charged with lightning (3). On account of their summits being covered with sand and powdered coal raised by the wind they appeared like so many huge clouds. The mountains, whose summits were covered with clouds, whose trees were scattered with their wings, from which was produced profuse gold, were as if stationed in the sky. Raised by the wind the winged mountains, having their summits covered with golden minerals, struck terror unto all birds. The golden mountains were covered with crystal, emeralds and sapphires. The huge mountain Himalaya was covered with white minerals. And when his golden summits and wings are lighted up by the rays of the sun they display various sorts of jems. The huge mountain Mandara, filled with crystal and containing two gateways built of Vajra, shone like the celestial region. The mount Kailāsha, adorned with various minerals, its high summits like unto so many gate ways, and trees covered with Gandharvas playing on musical instruments, the Kinnarras singing and the celestial maidens, making various gestures, appeared like a sporting mountain (4-12).

English

With Madhu's singing, acting, dancing, playing the mount Kailāsa excited desire like unto Cupid (13). Vishnu, in the shape of the earth, blue mount Vindhya with summits like unto clouds stricken with the rays of the sun, stationed on the mount Meru, sent down showers on earth through clouds (14-15). With rising clouds the mountains discharge pure water, various rocks, mineral substances; and through springs they discharge water clear like crystal. After the end of the rainy season trees, like unto clouds charged with lightning, shine being adorned with flowers. The elephants have been adorned with various ornaments of gold. Hanging and blossoming creepers, supported by trees filled with birds, are as if dancing on being shaken by the wind. And during the spring the creepers, shaken by a gust of wind, like unto waves striking against the bank, are pouring blossoms like unto drops of water. The earth has been covered with various huge tres covered with fruits. As if singing songs the trees, fond of honey and birds, are announcing the approach of Cupid. The Divine Vishnu, the destroyer of Madhu, created a river of currents. That stream had many fountains, profuse water and beautiful landing places. The shrines, situate on its bank, were charming and beautiful. It was full of clear water and carried fragrance of flowers (16–23). Enlightened by the Vedic words "There is nothing else but thee" she enters into the Yogin's heart. Enlightened by the Vedic words, and assuming the form of Kapil (_i.e._ the balanced state of the three qualities) in yoga she yeilds milk (_i.e._ unfolds spiritual science) (24–25). When all the intellectual faculties are destroyed only Pure consciousness remains; the three universal tendencies (Gunas) resort to the material body only for knowing the subtle element. Thereupon the Yogin, with mental concentration, adores the highly wonderful, eternal and pure Atman. Brahman, in the shape of pure _Jnāna_, crossing over all objects of consciousness like water in a desert, pervades the entire creation. The beautiful, well-formed illusory Māyā covers the celestial Atman. When the cover of Avidyā is removed one can see Atman. The consciousness of ego is invincible like a mountain. It depends on the three universal tendencies or Gunas. It exists eternally and is served even by the Siddhas (29).

Vaishampāyana said:—In order to took after the work of adminstration Prajāpati, along with the Rishis, installed Vena's son Prithu on the throne (2).

In the meantime, exhausted with the practice of various religious regulations the gods were taking rest on the table land of the mount Gandhamādana (5). Thereupon when the spring set in gods and Dānavas, smelling fragrance from all sides, were highly pleased. They thought:—"The fragrance of flowers scattered by the wind is highly charming and delightful therefore the fragrance of every earthly object is most excellent." Smelling that fragrance the Daityas were a little surprised in the beginning. Afterwards being delighted they attained to most excellent felicity (6–8). Excited with that smell they all said in a body: "Such is the power of every flower: we do not know what will be its fruit (9). Various modes of action are to be ascertained by inference. By the power of this understanding men perform auspicious and inauspicious deeds (10). With the powerful mount Mandara capable of assuming forms at will we will grind the herbs in water³²⁵ (11). We will churn the ocean with great force, drink ambrosia and in a body make ourselves ready for destroying Avidyā or ignorance (12). The great force Vishnu, whom we worship, will be our guide (in Yoga); and although living with Ripus (passions) still we will conquer them and enjoy Dyuloka and Bhurloka (13). With roots, leaves, branches, flowers and fruits³²⁶ we will carry ambrosia to earth. (14)". Having spoken thus about the shaking of the mount Mandara the Daityas extracted all the herbs grown on the mount Gandhamādana. And then they ran for uprooting the mount Mandara and agitated the earth. The Dānavas, born in the race of Danu, could not uproot the mount Mandara. Their knees bruised they fell down into the hollow of the mountain (15–17).

In the meantime, exhausted with the practice of various religious regulations the gods were taking rest on the table land of the mount Gandhamādana (5). Thereupon when the spring set in gods and Dānavas, smelling fragrance from all sides, were highly pleased. They thought:—"The fragrance of flowers scattered by the wind is highly charming and delightful therefore the fragrance of every earthly object is most excellent." Smelling that fragrance the Daityas were a little surprised in the beginning. Afterwards being delighted they attained to most excellent felicity (6–8). Excited with that smell they all said in a body: "Such is the power of every flower: we do not know what will be its fruit (9). Various modes of action are to be ascertained by inference. By the power of this understanding men perform auspicious and inauspicious deeds (10). With the powerful mount Mandara capable of assuming forms at will we will grind the herbs in water³²⁵ (11).

Thereupon when the spring set in gods and Dānavas, smelling fragrance from all sides, were highly pleased.

Smelling that fragrance the Daityas were a little surprised in the beginning. Afterwards being delighted they attained to most excellent felicity (6–8). Excited with that smell they all said in a body: "Such is the power of every flower: we do not know what will be its fruit (9). Various modes of action are to be ascertained by inference.

Excited with that smell they all said in a body: "Such is the power of every flower: we do not know what will be its fruit (9). Various modes of action are to be ascertained by inference. By the power of this understanding men perform auspicious and inauspicious deeds (10). With the powerful mount Mandara capable of assuming forms at will we will grind the herbs in water³²⁵ (11). We will churn the ocean with great force, drink ambrosia and in a body make ourselves ready for destroying Avidyā or ignorance (12). The great force Vishnu, whom we worship, will be our guide (in Yoga); and although living with Ripus (passions) still we will conquer them and enjoy Dyuloka and Bhurloka (13). With roots, leaves, branches, flowers and fruits³²⁶ we will carry ambrosia to earth. (14)". Having spoken thus about the shaking of the mount Mandara the Daityas extracted all the herbs grown on the mount Gandhamādana. And then they ran for uprooting the mount Mandara and agitated the earth. The Dānavas, born in the race of Danu, could not uproot the mount Mandara. Their knees bruised they fell down into the hollow of the mountain (15–17).

In the meantime, exhausted with the practice of various religious regulations the gods were taking rest on the table land of the mount Gandhamādana (5). Thereupon when the spring set in gods and Dānavas, smelling fragrance from all sides, were highly pleased.
