Adhyaya 26

हिन्दी अर्थ

प्रभुर्वा व्युत्थितो ब्रह्मन् गुरुर्वा यदि बेतरः। त्वया नियम्या: सर्वे वै त्वंहि न: परमा गति: यदि प्रभवतां दण्डो लोके कार्यमजानताम्। न विद्यते लोकगुरो न स्युर्वे लोकसेतवः क्योंकि मैंने पहलेसे ही ऐसा निश्चय कर लिया था। 'ब्रह्मनन्! अब यह ब्रह्माजी मेरे लिये निवासस्थानकी व्यवस्था करें। पितामह! अब आप ही मुझे बताइये कि मैं किस प्रदेशमें कैसे प्रकट होकर अथवा किस वेषमें रहकर उन सब असुरोंका समर- भूमिमें संहार करूँगा 2

ब्रह्मुजीने कहा--सर्वव्यापी नारायण ! आप मुझसे इस उपायको सुनिये, जिसके द्वारा सारा प्रयोजन सिद्ध हो जायगा। महाबाहो ! भूतलपर जो आपके पिता होंगे, जो माता होंगी और जहाँ जन्म लेकर आप अपने कुलकी वृद्धि करते हुए यादबोंके सम्पूर्ण विशाल वंशको धारण करेंगे तथा उन समस्त असुरोंका संहार करके अपने वंशका महान् विस्तार करते हुए जिस प्रकार मनुष्योंके लिये धर्मकी मर्यादा स्थापित करेंगे, वह सब बताता हूँ; सुनिये॥ १८--२०॥ विष्णो! पहलेकी बात है, महर्षि कश्यप अपने महान् यज्ञके अवसरपर महात्मा वरुणके यहाँसे कुछ दुधारू गौएँ माँग लाये थे, जो अपने दूध आदिके द्वारा यज्ञकार्यमें बहुत ही उपयोगिनी थीं यज्ञ-कार्य पूर्ण हो जानेपर भी कश्यपकी दो पत्नी अदिति और सुरभिने वरुणको उनकी गौएँ लौटा देनेकी इच्छा नहीं की ॥ २२॥ तब वरुणदेव मेरे पास आये और मस्तक झुकाकर मुझे प्रणाम करनेके पश्चात् बोले--

हिन्दी अर्थ

'भगवन्! पिताजीने मेरी गौएँ लाकर रख ली हैं यद्यपि उन गौओंसे जो कार्य लेना था, वह पूरा हो गया है तो भी पिताजी मुझे उन्हें वापस ले जानेकी आज्ञा नहीं देते हैं। इस विषयमें उन्होंने अपनी दो पत्नियों अदिति और सुरभिके मतका अनुसरण किया है॥ २४॥ प्रभो! मेरी वे गौएँ दिव्य, अक्षय एवं कामधेनु हैं तथा अपने ही तेजसे सुरक्षित रहकर समस्त समुद्रोंमें विचरण करती हैं॥ २५ ॥ देव ! जो अमृतके समान उत्तम दूधको अविच्छिन्न रूपसे देती रहती हैं, मेरी उन गौओंको पिता कश्यपजीके सिवा दूसरा कौन बलपूर्वक रोक सकता है ?

English

Thereupon there took place a terrible encounter between the armies of the gods and demons desirous of vanquishing each other (1). Armed with various weapons the Dānavas fought with the gods as if the mountains were fighting with the mountains (2). Thus there took place a wonderful encounter between the gods and demons, with fairness and unfairness, humility and pride (3). Then there fell on all sides from the sky cars drawn by quick-coursing horses, and soldiers with swords in their hands. Maces were scattered all over. With these and arrows, full drawn bows and clubs that war, of the gods and demons, grew exceedingly terrible. It created terror all over the world and assumed a dreadful form like the whirling clouds at the hour of the universal dissolution (4–6). Throwing with their hands Parighas and stones the Dānavas began to assail Indra and the other gods in battle (7). In that great encounter the gods were greatly assailed by the highly powerful Dānavas with whom appeared all the signs of success and their (faces) grew pale. They were grinded by the network of weapons of Diti's sons; their heads were cut off by their Parighas, their bodies were mutilated and the wounds made copious discharges of blood (8). Being fettered by the nooses of the Danavas, wounded by their arrows and possessed by the illusions of their women the gods stood motionless (10). They were stupified and showed no signs of life. The Asuras made the celestial army inert so that they could not use their weapons (11).

हिन्दी अर्थ

ब्रह्मन्! कोई कितना ही शक्तिशाली हो, गुरुजन हो अथवा और कोई हो, यदि वह मर्यादाका त्याग करता है तो आप ही ऐसे सब लोगोंपर नियन्त्रण कर सकते हैं; क्योंकि आप हम सब लोगोंके परम आश्रय हैं लोकगुरो। यदि संसारमें अपने कर्तव्यसे अनभिज्ञ रहनेवाले शक्तिशाली पुरुषोंके लिये दण्डकी व्यवस्था न हो तो जगत्की सारी मर्यादाएँ नष्ट हो जायँगी! यथा वास्तु तथा वास्तु कर्तव्ये भगवान् प्रभु:। मम गाव: प्रदीयन्तां ततो गन्तास्मि सागरम् या आत्मदेवता गावो या गाव: सत्त्वमव्ययम्। लोकानां त्वव्रवृत्तानामेक॑ गोब्राह्मणं स्मृतम्

English

Throwing away the nooses of illusion of the Dānavas, withstanding and cutting off their arrows with his thunder-bolt the thousand-eyed king of gods entered into the dreadful army of the Dānavas (12). Having slain all the Daityas who were stationed in front with his dark weapons he covered the entire demon-army with darkness. Being thus enshrouded with darkness through the energy of the king of gods they could not make any distinction between the gods and demons. Thereupon being freed from the nooses of illusion and being very careful the gods began to slay the Dānavas who were overpowered with darkness. Thereat being assailed, bereft of consciousness and dark-hued on account of the darkness, the Dānavas began to fall down like mountains having their wings cut off (13–16). Then the palace, of the king of Dānavas, consisting of cloud-like demons and resembling an ocean stricken with darkness, appeared as the very form of darkness itself (17). Thereupon consuming that illusion of darkness the Dānava Maya created a highly dreadful illusion of forest-fire resembling the fire of dissolution. When that illusion, created by Maya, destroyed all darkness, the Daityas, assuming forms, effulgent like the sun, again appeared in that battle-field

English

Being consumed by the illusory forest-fire the gods appeared before Soma lying on the dews. Having their lustre destroyed by the forest-fire and been consumed thereby the gods, stricken with grief and seeking refuge, communicated it to their king the holder of thunder-bolt. When the celestial soldiers were assailed by the illusion of Maya and consumed by the Dānavas, Varuna, commanded by the king of gods, thus said (20–22).

English

Varuna said:—O king of gods, in the days of yore, the energetic Urva, the son of the Brāhmana saint Bhrigu, adorned with accomplishments like those of Brahmā, practised hard austerities. Like the eternal sun he assailed the whole world with his penances. The Brāhmana saints, with the gods and ascetics, appeared before him (23–24). The Dānava-king Hiranyakasipu communicated it to that highly energetic Rishi (25). The Brāhmana saints then addressed to him the following sacred words; "This family, of the Rishis, is about to be extinct now, since, you, being alone and having no issue, are not thinking of perpetuating your race. Adopting a life of celibacy you are practising these hard penances (26–27). Many familes of self-controlled Rishis, are on the verge of extinction on account of the absence of of any offspring. Only one body exists (28). If all these families disappear for want of descendants there is no chance of their being multiplied. You are the foremost of ascetics and are effulgent like Brahmā (29). Therefore think of multiplying your race and you yourself multiply yourself. Devote your great energy and produce your second body (30)."

पहले गौओंकी रक्षा करनी चाहिए। फिर सुरक्षित हुई गौएँ ब्राह्मणोंकी रक्षा करती हैं। गौओं और ब्राह्मणोंकी रक्षा होनेपर सम्पूर्ण जगत्की रक्षा हो जाती है! अच्युत! जलके स्वामी वरुणके ऐसा कहनेपर गौओंके कारण-तत्त्वको जाननेवाले मैंने कश्यपको शाप देते हुए कहा--॥ ३२॥ “महर्षि कश्यपने अपने जिस अंशसे गौओंका अपहरण किया है, उस अंशसे वे पृथ्वीपर जाकर गोप होंगे॥ ३३॥ वे जो सुरभि नामवाली देवी हैं तथा देवतारूपी अग्निको प्रकट करनेवाली अरणीके समान जो अदिति देवी हैं, वे दोनों पत्नियाँ कश्यपके साथ ही भूलोकमें जायँगी॥ ३४ ॥ गोपयोनिमें प्रकट हुए कश्यप भूतलपर अपनी उन दोनों पत्रनियोंके साथ सुखपूर्वक रहेंगे। कश्यपका जो दूसरा अंश कश्यपके समान ही तेजस्वी है, वह भूतलपर वसुदेव नामसे विख्यात हो गौओं और गोपोंके अधिपति-रूपसे निवास

English

Thus addressed by the Rishis and having his mind agitated that self-controlled ascetic blamed them and said (31).
