हता ब्रह्मद्विषः सर्वे जयन्त्यन्धकवृष्णयटः। एवमुक्तः सह स्त्रीभिरक्षतैर्मधुसूदनः
All the haters of Brahman have been slain; thus spoke Madhusūdana, surrounded by uninjured women of the Andhakas and Vṛṣṇis.
ततः शौरिः सुपर्णेन स्वं निवेशनमभ्ययात्। चकाराथ यथोद्देशमीश्वरो मणिपर्वतम्
Then Śauri, borne by Suparṇa, went to his own residence; and the Lord made Maṇiparvata as was fitting.
ततो धनानि रत्नानि सभायां मधुसूदनः। निधाय पुण्डरीकाक्षः पितुर्दर्शनलालसः
Then Madhusūdana, lotus-eyed, longing to see his father, deposited wealth and jewels in the assembly hall.
ततः सान्दीपिनिं पूर्वं ब्राह्मणं चापि भारत। यथान्यायं वासुदेव उपस्पृष्ट्वा महायशाः
Then, O Bhārata, the illustrious Vāsudeva, having ritually purified himself, first approached Sāndīpani and also the Brāhmaṇa.
ववन्दे पृथुताम्राक्षः प्रीयमाणो महायशाः। तथाऽश्रुपरिपूर्णाक्षमानन्दभृतचेतसम्
The illustrious one, broad and copper-eyed, joyfully bowed, as did those whose hearts were filled with happiness and whose eyes brimmed with tears.
ववन्दे सह रामेण पितरं वासवानुजः। ताभ्यां च मूर्ध्न्युपाघ्रातः केशवः परवीरहा
Vāsudeva, together with Rāma, bowed to their father; Keśava, destroyer of enemy heroes, was embraced on the head by both.
यथाश्रेष्ठमुपागम्य सात्वतान्यदुनन्दनः। सर्वेषां नाम जग्राह दाशार्हाणामधोक्षजः
Having approached each according to their rank, the son of Yadu, the transcendent one, greeted all the Daśārhas by name.
ततः सर्वाणि वित्तानि सर्वरत्नमयानि च। व्यभजत्तानि तेभ्योऽथ सर्वेभ्यो यदुनन्दनः
Then the son of Yadu distributed all the wealth and all the jewels among them all.
सा केशवमहामात्रैर्महेन्द्रप्रतिमैः सभा। शुशुभे वृष्णिशार्दूलैः सिंहैरिव गिरेर्गुहा
That assembly, with Keśava's great ministers, resembling Indra, shone with the Vṛṣṇi tigers, like lions in a mountain cave.
अथासनगतान्सर्वानुवाच विबुधाधिपः। शुभया हर्षयन्वाचा महेन्द्रस्तान्महायशाः। कुकुरान्धकमुख्यांश्च तं च राजानमाहुकम्
Then the lord of the gods, Indra of great fame, gladdening them with auspicious words, addressed all those seated, the chief Kukuras, Andhakas, and King Āhuka.
यदर्थं जन्म कृष्णस्य मानुषेषु महात्मनः। यत्कृतं वासुदेवेन तद्वक्ष्यामि समासतः
I shall briefly tell you the purpose for which the great-souled Kṛṣṇa was born among men, and what Vāsudeva has accomplished.
अयं शतसहस्राणि दानवानामरिन्दमः। निहय् पुण्डरीकाक्षः पातालविवरं ययौ
This slayer of foes, lotus-eyed, has slain hundreds of thousands of Dānavas and gone to the chasm of the underworld.
यच्च नाधिगतं पूर्वैः प्रह्लादबलिशम्बरैः। तदिदं शौरिणा वित्तं प्रापितं भवतामिह
What was not attained before by Prahlāda, Bali, or Śambara, has now been achieved here by Śauri for your sake.
सपाशं मुरमाक्रमय् पाञ्चजन्यं च धीमता। शिलासङ्घानतिक्रम्य निशुम्भः सगणो हतः
The wise one subdued Mura with his noose, seized Pāñcajanya, and, overcoming heaps of rocks, slew Niśumbha along with his followers.
हयग्रीवश्च विक्रान्तो दानवो निहतो बली। मथितश्च मृधे भौमः कुण्डले चाहृते पुनः
The mighty Dānava Hayagrīva was slain, and Bhauma was crushed in battle, his earrings taken once again.
पुनर्बाणवधे शौरिमादित्या वसुभिः सह। मन्मुखा आगमिष्यन्ति साध्याश्च मधुसूदनम्
Again, at the slaying of Bāṇa, Śauri, along with the Ādityas and Vasus, will be approached by the Sādhyas, led by me, O Madhusūdana.
एवमुक्त्वा ततः सर्वानामन्त्र्य कुकुरान्धकान्। सस्वजे रामकृष्णौ च वसुदेवं च वासवः
Having spoken thus, Vāsava took leave of all the Kukuras and Andhakas, and embraced Rāma, Kṛṣṇa, and Vasudeva.
प्रद्युम्नसाम्बप्रमुखाननिरूद्धं च सारणम्। बभ्रुं झल्लिं गदं भानुं चारुदेष्णं च वृत्रहा
He also embraced Pradyumna, Sāmba, Aniruddha, Sāraṇa, Babhru, Jhalli, Gada, Bhānu, and Cārudeṣṇa, with Vṛtrahā.
सत्कृत्य सारणाक्रूरौ पुनराभाष्य सात्यकिम्। सस्वजे वृष्णिराजानमाहुकं कुकुराधिपम्। भोजं च कृतवर्णाणमन्यांश्चान्दकवृष्णिषु
After honoring Sāraṇa and Akrūra, and again addressing Sātyaki, he embraced the king of the Vṛṣṇis, Āhuka, lord of the Kukuras, Kṛtavarṇa of the Bhojas, and other Andhakas and Vṛṣṇis.
आमन्त्र्य देवप्रवरैर्वासवो वासवानुजम्। ततः श्वेताचलप्रख्यं गजमैरावतं प्रभुः
Taking leave, Vāsava, best among the gods, addressed Vāsudeva, and then the lord mounted Airāvata, the elephant resembling a white mountain.
पश्यतां सर्वभातानामारुरोह शचीपतिः। पृथिवीं चान्तरिक्षं च दिवं च वरवारणम्
As all beings looked on, the lord of Śacī ascended the noble elephant, which traversed earth, sky, and heaven.
मुखाडम्बरनिर्घोषैः पूरयन्तमिवासकृत्। हैमयन्त्रमहाकक्ष्यं हिरण्मयविषाणिनम्
Its trumpeting resounded repeatedly like thunder, filling the quarters, with golden harness, great girth, and golden tusks.
मनोहरकुथास्तीर्णं सर्वरत्नविभूषितम्। नित्यस्रुतमदस्रावं क्षरन्तमिव तोयदम्
Its charming back was spread with fine cloths, adorned with all kinds of jewels, ever streaming fragrant ichor, as if pouring forth a rain cloud.
दिशागजं महामात्रं काञ्चनस्रजमास्थितः। प्रबभौ मन्दराग्रस्थः प्रतपन्भानुमानिव
Wearing a garland of gold, he shone atop the lordly elephant of the quarters, like the blazing sun on the summit of Mandara.
ततो वज्मयं भीमं प्रगृह्य परामाङ्कुशम्। ययौ बलवता सार्धं पावकेन शचीपतिः
Then, taking up his mighty thunderbolt and supreme goad, the lord of Śacī departed with the powerful Fire-god.
तं करेणुगजव्रातैर्विमानैश्च मरुद्गणाः। पृष्ठतोऽनुययुः प्रीताः कुबेरवरुणग्रहाः
The delighted Maruts, Kubera, Varuṇa, and the planets followed him behind, with herds of female elephants and celestial chariots.
स वायुपक्षमास्थाय वैश्वानरपथं गतः। प्राप्य सूर्यपथं देवस्तत्रैवान्तरधीयत
Mounting the wind-winged path, he went along the route of Fire; reaching the path of the Sun, the god vanished there.
ततः सर्वदशार्हाणामाहुकस्य च याः स्त्रियः। नन्दगोपस्य महिषी यशोदा लोकविश्रुता
Then all the wives of the Daśārhas, those of Āhuka, and the renowned Yaśodā, queen of Nanda, gathered together.
रेवती च महाभागा रुक्मिणी च पत्रिव्रता। सत्या जाम्बवती चोभे गान्धारी शिंशुमापि च
The illustrious Revatī, the devoted Rukmiṇī, Satyā, Jāmbavatī, both Gāndhārī and Śiṃśumāpi were there.
विशोका लक्षणा चापि सुमित्रा केतुमा तथा। वासुदेवमहिष्योऽन्याः श्रिया सार्धं ययुस्तदा
Viśokā, Lakṣaṇā, Sumitrā, Ketumā, and the other wives of Vāsudeva, together with Śrī, also came at that time.
