ततस्तं द्रौपदी दृष्ट्वाप्रणम्य परया मुदा। अब्रवीद्वासुदेवाय मुनेरागमनादिकम्
Then Draupadi, seeing him, bowed with great joy and told Vasudeva about the sage's arrival and related matters.
ततस्तामब्रवीत्कृष्णः क्षुधितोस्मि भृशातुरः। शीघ्रं भोजय मां कृष्णे पश्चात्सर्वं करिष्यसि
Then Krishna said to her, 'I am hungry and greatly distressed; quickly feed me, O Krishna, afterwards you may do everything else.'
निशम्य तद्वचः कृष्णा लज्जिता वाक्यमब्रवीत्। स्थाल्यां भास्करदत्तायामन्नं मद्भोजनावधि
Hearing these words, Krishna, embarrassed, replied, 'In the pot given by the sun, the food for my meal is finished.'
भुक्तवत्यस्म्यहं देव तस्मादन्नं न विद्यते। ततः प्रोवाच भगवान्कृष्णां कमललोचनः
'I have already eaten, O Lord, so there is no food left.' Then the lotus-eyed Bhagavan spoke to Krishna.
कृष्णे न नर्मकालोऽयं क्षुच्छ्रमेणातुरे मयि। शीघ्रं गच्छ मम स्थालीमानयित्वा प्रदर्शय
'Krishna, this is not the time for jest; I am afflicted by hunger and exhaustion. Quickly go, bring my pot, and show it to me.'
इति निर्बन्धतः स्थालीमानाय्य स यदूद्वहः। स्थाल्याः कण्ठेऽथ संलग्नं शाकान्नं वीक्ष्यकेशवः
Thus urged, the bearer of the Yadu name brought the pot; and Kesava saw a morsel of vegetable food stuck to its rim.
उपयुज्याब्रवीदेनामनेन हरिरीश्वरः। विश्वात्मा प्रीयतां देवस्तुष्टश्चास्त्विति यज्ञभूक्
Having made use of the offering, Hari the Lord, the soul of the universe, said: 'May the god be pleased, may he be satisfied,' for he is the recipient of sacrifice.
आकारय मुनीञ्शीघ्रं भोजनायेति चाब्रवीत्। भीमसेनं महाबाहुः कृष्णः क्लेशविनाशनः
Krishna, mighty-armed and destroyer of affliction, said to Bhimasena: 'Quickly summon the sages for a meal.'
ततो जगाम त्वरितो भीमसेनो महायशाः। आकारितुं तु तान्सर्वान्भोजनार्थं नृपोत्तम। स्नातुं गतान्देवनद्यां दुर्वासःप्रभृतीन्मुनीन्
Then Bhimasena, renowned and swift, went to gather all the sages for the meal, O best of kings, who had gone to bathe in the divine river, Durvasa and the others.
ते चावतीर्णाः सलिले कृतवन्तोऽघमर्षणम्। दृष्ट्वोद्गारान्सान्नरसांस्तृप्त्या परमया युताः। उत्तीर्य सलिलात्तस्माद्दृष्टवन्तः परस्परम्
They descended into the water and performed the ritual of cleansing sin; seeing the remnants of food, they were filled with utmost satisfaction, and emerging from the water, they looked at one another.
दुर्वाससमभिप्रेक्ष्यते सर्वे मुनयोऽब्रुवन्। राज्ञा हिकारयित्वाऽन्नं वयं स्नातुं समागताः
Seeing Durvasa, all the sages said: 'Having been called by the king for food, we have come here to bathe.'
आकण्ठतृप्ता विप्रर्षे किंस्विद्भुञ्जामहे वयम्। वृथा पाकः कृतोस्माभिस्तत्र किं करवामहे
O illustrious sage, we are fully satisfied; what shall we eat now? The cooking was done in vain by us—what should we do here?
वृथा पाकेन राजर्षेरपराधः कृतो महान्। माऽस्मानधाक्षुर्दृष्ट्वैव पाण्डवाः क्रूरचक्षुषा
By cooking in vain, we have committed a great offense against the royal sage; let not the Pandavas, with fierce gaze, reproach us upon seeing us.
स्मृत्वाऽनुभावं राजर्षेरम्बरीषस्य धीमतः। बिभेमि सुतरां विप्रा हरिपादाश्रयाज्जनात्
Remembering the power of the wise royal sage Ambarisha, I am greatly afraid, O Brahmins, of those who take refuge in Hari's feet.
पाण्डवाश्च महात्मानः सर्वे धर्मपरायणाः। शूराश्चकृतविद्याश्च व्रतिनस्तपसि स्थिताः
And the Pandavas, all great souls, devoted to righteousness, heroic, skilled in knowledge, steadfast in vows and austerity.
सदाचाररता नित्यं वासुदेवपरायणाः। क्रुद्धास्ते निर्दहेयुर्वै तूलराशिमिवानलः। तत एतानपृष्ट्वैव शिष्याः शीघ्रं पलायत
Always engaged in good conduct, devoted to Vasudeva; if angered, they could burn like fire consumes a heap of cotton. Thus, without asking them, the disciples quickly fled.
इत्युक्तास्ते द्विजाः सर्वे मुनिना गुरुणा तदा। पाण्डवेभ्यो भृशं भीता दुद्रुवुस्ते दिशो दश
Thus addressed by their guru, all the Brahmins at that time, greatly afraid of the Pandavas, fled in all directions.
भीमसेनो देवनद्यामपश्यन्मुनिसत्तमान्। तीर्थे ष्वितस्ततस्तस्या विचचार गवेषयन्
Bhimasena, searching at the river, did not see the eminent sages; he wandered at the river's ford, seeking them.
तत्रस्थेभ्यस्तापसेभ्यः श्रुत्वा ताश्चैव विद्रुतान्। युधिष्ठिरमथाभ्येत्य तं वृत्तान्तं न्यवेदयत्
There, hearing from the ascetics about their flight, he approached Yudhishthira and reported the incident.
ततस्ते पाण्डवाः सर्वे प्र्यागमनकाङ्क्षिणः। प्रतीक्षनतः कियत्कालं जितात्मानोऽवतस्थिरे
Then all the Pandavas, desiring the arrival of the guests, waited for some time, self-controlled and steadfast.
निशीथेऽभ्येत्य चाकस्मादस्मान्स च्छलयिष्यति। कथं च निस्तरेमास्मात्कृच्छ्राद्दैवोपसादितात्
At midnight, he will suddenly come to deceive us; how shall we escape from this hardship brought by fate?
इति चिन्तापरान्दृष्ट्वा निःश्वसन्तो मुहुर्मुहुः। उवाच वचनं श्रीमान्कृष्णः प्रत्यक्षतां गतः
Seeing them absorbed in such anxious thoughts, sighing again and again, the illustrious Krishna, present before them, spoke these words.
भवतामापदं ज्ञात्वा ऋषेः परमकोपनात्। द्रौपद्या चिन्तितः पार्था अहं सत्वरमागतः
Knowing your distress caused by the sage's extreme anger, O Parthas, and Draupadi's concern, I have come swiftly.
न भयं विद्यतेतस्मादृषेर्दुर्वाससोऽल्पकम्। तेजसा भवतां भीतः पूर्वमेव पलायितः
There is no fear at all from the sage Durvasa; frightened by your power, he has already fled.
धर्मनित्यास्तु ये केचिन्न ते सीदन्ति कर्हिचित्। आपृच्छे वो गमिष्यामि नियतं भद्रमस्तु वः
Those who are steadfast in righteousness never falter at any time. I take leave of you; I shall depart. May auspiciousness be yours always.
श्रुत्वेरितं केशवस्य बभूवुः स्वस्थामानसाः। द्रौपद्या सहिताः पार्थास्तमूचुर्विगतज्वराः
Having heard what was spoken by Keśava, the sons of Pāṇḍu, together with Draupadī, became peaceful in mind and addressed him, free from distress.
त्वया नाथेन गोविन्द दुस्तरामापदं विभो। तीर्णाः प्लवमिवासाद्य मज्जमाना महार्णवे
With you as our protector, Govinda, we have crossed the difficult calamity, O Lord, like those who, finding a raft, escape drowning in a vast ocean.
स्वस्ति साधय भद्रं ते इत्याज्ञातो ययौ पुरीम्
Having been permitted with the words, 'Go in peace, may good fortune be yours,' he departed for the city.
पाण्डवाश्च महाभाग द्रौपद्या सहिताः प्रभो। ऊषुः प्रहृष्टमनसो विहरन्तो वनाद्वनम्। इति तेऽभिहितं राजन्यत्पृष्टोऽहमिह त्वया
The blessed Pāṇḍavas, together with Draupadī, O Lord, remained joyful, wandering from forest to forest. Thus I have told you, O king, what you asked me here.
एवंविधान्यलीकानि धार्तराष्ट्रैर्दुरात्मभिः। पाण्डवेषु वनस्थेषु प्रयुक्तानि वृथाऽभवन्
Such deceitful acts, devised by the evil-hearted sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra against the Pāṇḍavas dwelling in the forest, proved fruitless.
