Adhyaya 82

हिन्दी अर्थ

वरुणने पहले तो शट्ढु बजाया, फिर क्रोधमें भरकर श्रीकृष्णपर उसी तरह धावा किया, जैसे रुद्रदेवने भगवान् विष्णुपर आक्रमण किया हो। उन्होंने कुपित हो अपने बाणोंके जालसे श्रीकृष्णको ढक दिया तब महाबली जाार्दनने पाहञ्लजन्य शट्भु बजाकर अपने बाणसमूहोंसे सम्पूर्ण दिशाओंको आच्छादित कर दिया रणभूमिमें उन निर्मल बाणसमूहोंसे पीड़ित होनेपर भी मुसकराते हुए-से वरुण श्रीकृष्णके साथ युद्ध करने लगे॥ ६५॥ तब घोर वैष्णवास्त्रको अभिमन्त्रित करके युद्धस्थलमें बुद्धिमान् वरुणके सामने खड़े हुए भगवान् वासुदेव उनसे इस प्रकार बोले--॥ ६६॥ “वरुणदेव! मैंने तुम्हारे वधके लिये शत्रुओंका संहार करनेवाले इस महाघोर वैष्णवास्त्रको उठा रखा है, अब तुम स्थिरतापूर्वक खड़े रहो'॥६७॥ यह सुनकर महाबली वरुणदेव वैष्णवास्त्रका सामना करनेके लिये उद्यत हो उसे वारुणास्त्रसे संयुक्त करके जोर-जोरसे गर्जना करने लगे॥ ६८ ॥ वरुणके अस्त्रमें राशि-राशि जल व्याप्त था, जो तत्काल प्रकट होने लगा। युद्धविजयी वरुण उसीसे

Thereupon worked up with great anger Andhaka, proud of his boon, set up a terrible leonine shout and said:—"O mountain, although requested by me you have not shown me sufficient honor. Now witness my strength—I will crush you within this very moment." Saying it the powerful Andhaka, elated with the pride of the boon, uprooted, with the help of the Asuras, a summit extending over many _yojanas_ and began to grind it. O hero, for this all the streams of that huge mountain were blockaded. When Rudra came to know of all this he showed him such a special favour, that it appeared in the same beauty abounding in infuriated elephants, deer, various streams and variegated gardens, which it possessed before it was uprooted by Andhaka (13–18).

हिन्दी अर्थ

वैष्णवास्त्रको बुझा देनेके लिये उद्यत थे॥६९॥ परंतु वारुणास्त्रके द्वारा फेंकी गयी जलधाराएँ जब-जब वैष्णवास्त्रपर पड़ती थीं, तब-तब अग्निके समान प्रज्वलित हो उठती थीं और उनके द्वारा वहाँ वरुणके सैनिक ही दग्ध होने लगते थे। इस प्रकार महान् शक्तिशाली वैष्णवास्त्रके प्रजजलित होनेपर वरुणके सैनिक पुनः भयभीत हो सम्पूर्ण दिशाओंमें भागने लगे। अपनी उस सेनाको जलती हुई देख वरुणने श्रीकृष्णसे कहा-- “महाभाग! आप अपनी उस पूर्व प्रकृतिका स्मरण कीजिये, जो व्यक्ताव्यक्त स्वरूप है। तमोगुणका नाश कीजिये, आप स्वयं तमोगुणसे क्‍यों मोहित हो रहे हैं 72॥ ७०--७२॥ योगीश्वर! महामते! आप सदा ही सत्त्वगुणमें स्थित रहे हैं, अतः पद्चञभूतोंके आश्रित

Thereupon by the power of the Lord, the dreadful summits, uprooted by Andhaka, brought about the destruction of the Asuras themselves (19). O king, the mountain summits crushed those Asuras to death who uprooting them were flying away (20). Those Asuras however, who were sitting at ease on the table-land of the mount Mandara, were not killed thereby. Seeing his soldiers thus crushed down Andhaka set up a terrible leonine shout and said:—"O mountain, there is no need of fighting with you. I invite him who is the owner of the garden situate on your elevation. Let him come forward to fight. What is the use of carrying on the work of destruction remaining in disguise in the battle-field" (21–23).

इन पाँच दोषों तथा अहंकारको त्याग दीजिये आपकी जो-जो वैष्णवी मूर्ति है, उससे मैं ज्येष्ट हूँ। ज्येष्ठ होनेके नाते आपके आदरका पात्र हूँ तो भी आप ज्येप्ठभावेन मान्यं तु किं मां त्वं दग्धुमिच्छसि ॥ ७४ क्‍यों मुझे दग्ध करना चाहते हैं?' भगवान् विष्णुके जितने अवतार हैं, उन सबमें मत्स्यावतार प्रथम माना गया है। यह अवतार जलमें हुआ था और जलके अधिष्ठाता वरुणदेव इसके पहलेसे विद्यमान थे, अत: ये सभी अवतररोंसे ज्येष्ठ सिद्ध होते हैं। वामन-अवतारके समय भगवान् इन्द्र-वरुण आदि देवताओंके छोटे भाई बने, इसलिये भी वरुणकी ज्येष्ठता सिद्ध होती है। नाग्निर्विक्रमते हाग्रौ त्यज कोप॑ युधां बर। त्वयि न प्रभविष्यामि जगत: प्रभवो हासि

Thus addressed the Lord Maheswara, desirous of killing him, took up his mace and arrived there riding on his bull (24). The intelligent, three-eyed deity, the lord of goblins came there encircled by ghosts and goblins. At that time when Mahādeva was worked up with anger the entire world shook and the rivers flew in contrary courses with burning water (25–26), O king, by Hara's energy all the quarters were consumed with fire and the planets began to fight with one another. O descendant of Kuru, at that time all the mountains were moved and the god of rains sent down showers of char-coals accompanied with smoke. And the moon became hot and the sun cool. The Brahmavādins forgot the Vedas. O sinless one, at that time the asses gave birth to cows and the cows to horses. The trees were reduced to ashes and fell down on earth. The bulls began to oppress the kine and the kine began to ride on the bulls. All the quarters were filled with Rakshasas, Yatudhānas and Pishācas. Beholding the universe in such an altered condition the Divine Mahādeva cast off his mace effulgent like fire. O king, that dreadful mace, discharged by Hara, fell on the breast of the Asura Andhaka, the thorn of the pious, and immediately reduced him to ashes (27-33).

When the enemy of the world was slain, the gods and the Munis, having asceticism for their wealth, began to propitiate Shankara (34). Celestials bugles were sounded and showers of flowers fell down. O king, the three worlds were freed from anxiety and enjoyed rest (35). The gods and Gandharvas began to sing and the Apsaras began to dance. The Brāhmanas began to recite the Vedas and perform sacrifices (36). The planets resumed their natural positions and the rivers flew in their proper courses. Fire did not burn in water. All people began to cherish hopes (37). The foremost of mountains Mandara again shone in beauty—adorned with its pristine prosperity and effulgence (38). Having thus benefitted the gods the Lord Hara began to sport with Umā again in the garden of Pārijāta (39).

Vaishampāyana said:—O sinless king, you have the greatest reverences for listening to the history of Hari, the highly powerful lord of the universe. I should therefore describe it to you (3). O king, while living in the city of Dwārkā Hari, of incomparable energy, sailed by sea for the sacred shrine of Pindaraka (4). O descendant of Bharata, at that time Ugrasena and Vasudeva remained as the governors of the city. All others followed Nārāyana (5). O king, Baladeva, Janārddana, and the parties of other princes, energetic like the immortals, set out separately (6). O king, thousands of dancing girls accompanied the beautiful Vrishni princes adorned with ornaments (7). O hero, removing the ocean from its own bed the powerful Yadavas had settled those thousands of dancing girls in Dwāravati (8). Those beautiful dancing girls, on account of their accomplishments, became the objects of enjoyment to the princes (9). O lord, thinking that the Yadavas might not suffer from an internal feud for women the intelligent Krishna established this practice amongst the Bhaimas (10). While sporting in the water, the powerful Baladeva, the foremost of Yadus, inebrite with drinking wine and adorned with a garland of wild flowers, was enjoying only with Revati like a Chakravāka bird. Making an enclosure with his own persons Govinda, the creator of all, having eyes black like a cloud, was sporting separately in the ocean with his sixteen thousand wives. O king, at that time, amongst the women of Keshava every one thought:—"I am the most favourite of Keshava: he is sporting only with me" (11-14). All those damsels, having signs of sporting all over their person, were flirting with Govinda (15). Amongst those good women the beautiful damsels of Nārāyana felt conceited by thinking "I alone am the most favourite of Keshava." Krishna's women, as if with their eyes, were drinking the ambrosia of Keshava's countenance. All those damsels, whose minds and eyes were fixed only on Keshava, looked more beautiful than before. The Lord Nārāyana, having pleased them all, those women, having their minds and eyes fixed on one man, did not cherish jealousy against one another. As if possessed entirely by Keshava those beautiful women began to shake their heads with pride (116-121). In pursuance of the ways of his universal form the self-controlled Hari began to sport with those women in this way in the pure water of the ocean (22). O hero, at that time at the command of Vāsudeva the water of the ocean was freed from salt and the great ocean began to carry transparent water, possessing all sorts of fragrance (23). The ocean yielded its water to whatever extent the women wanted, either up to their knees, thighs or breast (24). As the rivers pour their watery contents down into the ocean, and as the clouds pour water on the blossoming creepers, so in that watery sport Keshava's women sprinkled him with water (25). Some of them, having eyes like a deer, held Hari by the neck, and said:—"O Hari, I am being drowned, save me" (26). Some handsome damsels began to row in wooden boats of the shape of herons and serpents (27). Some began to row in Makara-shaped boats and others in boats of various shapes (28). In order to please Janārddana in the water of the ocean some women swam depending on their own breast and some on water jars. (29). Krishna himself, filled with joy, began to sport with Rukshmini. Nārāyana's wives did what pleased most Keshava, the foremost of immortals (30). There amongst those thin-built damsels, having cloud like eyes and wearing clothes of fine texture some imitated the movements of Vāsudeva. Entering into the minds of those women, Keshava, conversant with the mental desire of all, satisfied whatever they wanted (31–33). Although lord of all self-controlled persons, the powerful, eternal, divine Hrishikesha, according to the exigencies of time, brought himself under the control of his beloved wives (33). Wonder! the damsels regarded Janāddana remaining there in human guise as their becoming husband both as regards birth and accomplishments. In this way those clever women began to seek with devotion and offer sufficient honor to Krishna endued with kindliness and always smiling before speaking (34-35).

In order to sport with the women in water the princes formed a separate party. Those heroes, the mines of accomplishments, were sporting under water (36), O king, the women, proficient in the art of singing and dancing whom the princes had brought there by force, were pleased with their kind behaviour. Seeing the charming acting of those beautiful women, and hearing the music of bugles and their songs the Yadu heroes were greatly pleased (37–38). Thereupon on account of his universal form when Lord Krishna, the master of the world and of immeasurable energy, sent for the most beautiful Apsaras such as Panchachudā, Kouveri and Mahendri, they came with folded hands and saluted him.
