( इंद्रवंशा ) ये मद्विधाज्ञा जगदीशमानिनः त्वां वीक्ष्य कालेऽभयमाशु तन्मदम् । हित्वाऽऽर्यमार्गं प्रभजन्त्यपस्मया ईहा खलानामपि तेऽनुशासनम्
Those like me, who disregard your command and imagine themselves as lords of the world, upon seeing you at the proper time, quickly lose their arrogance and abandon the noble path, acting with disrespect; even for the wicked, your instruction is effective.
( मिश्र ) स त्वं ममैश्वर्यमदप्लुतस्य कृतागसस्तेऽविदुषः प्रभावम् । क्षन्तुं प्रभोऽथार्हसि मूढचेतसो मैवं पुनर्भून्मतिरीश मेऽसती
Therefore, O Lord, please forgive my offense, committed out of ignorance and pride in my own power. O Master, my mind was deluded; may such unworthy thoughts never arise in me again.
तवावतारोऽयमधोक्षजेह भुवो भराणां उरुभारजन्मनाम् । चमूपतीनामभवाय देव भवाय युष्मत् चरणानुवर्तिनाम्
This descent of yours, O Adhokṣaja, is for the removal of the heavy burden of the earth caused by powerful rulers, O God, for the destruction of armies and for the welfare of those who follow your feet.
( अनुष्टुप् ) नमस्तुभ्यं भगवते पुरुषाय महात्मने । वासुदेवाय कृष्णाय सात्वतां पतये नमः
Salutations to you, O Blessed One, the Supreme Person, the Great Soul; salutations to Vāsudeva, to Krishna, to the Lord of the Sātvatas.
स्वच्छन्दोपात्तदेहाय विशुद्धज्ञानमूर्तये । सर्वस्मै सर्वबीजाय सर्वभूतात्मने नमः
Salutations to the one who assumes a body at will, whose form is pure knowledge, to the all-pervading, the seed of all, the soul of all beings.
मयेदं भगवन् गोष्ठ नाशायासारवायुभिः । चेष्टितं विहते यज्ञे मानिना तीव्रमन्युना
O Lord, it was I who, driven by pride and intense anger, acted to destroy this cowherd settlement with storms and winds, after the sacrifice was interrupted by the arrogant.
त्वयेशानुगृहीतोऽस्मि ध्वस्तस्तम्भो वृथोद्यमः । ईश्वरं गुरुमात्मानं त्वामहं शरणं गतः
By your grace, I am freed from pride and my futile effort is destroyed; I have taken refuge in you, the Lord, the teacher, and the self.
श्रीशुक उवाच - एवं सङ्कीर्तितः कृष्णो मघोना भगवानमुम् । मेघगम्भीरया वाचा प्रहसन् इदमब्रवीत्
Śuka said: Thus, Krishna was praised by Maghavan, the Blessed One, who, smiling, spoke with a voice deep as thunderclouds.
श्रीभगवानुवाच - मया तेऽकारि मघवन् मखभङ्गोऽनुगृह्णता । मदनुस्मृतये नित्यं मत्तस्येन्द्रश्रिया भृशम्
The Blessed Lord said: O Maghavan, I broke your sacrifice to show you favor, so that you would always remember me, and not be intoxicated by Indra's glory.
मामैश्वर्यश्रीमदान्धो दण्डपाणिं न पश्यति । तं भ्रंशयामि सम्पद्भ्यो यस्य चेच्छाम्यनुग्रहम्
One blinded by pride in wealth and power does not see the wielder of the rod; I deprive such a person of their prosperity whenever I wish to show them mercy.
गम्यतां शक्र भद्रं वः क्रियतां मेऽनुशासनम् । स्थीयतां स्वाधिकारेषु युक्तैर्वः स्तम्भवर्जितैः
Go now, Śakra; may all be well with you. Let my instruction be followed. Remain in your own duties, free from pride and properly engaged.
अथाह सुरभिः कृष्णं अभिवन्द्य मनस्विनी । स्वसन्तानैरुपामन्त्र्य गोपरूपिणमीश्वरम्
Then Surabhi, thoughtful, approached Krishna, the Lord in the form of a cowherd, along with her offspring, and offered her respects.
सुरभिरुवाच - कृष्ण कृष्ण महायोगिन् विश्वात्मन् विश्वसम्भव । भवता लोकनाथेन सनाथा वयमच्युत
Surabhi said: Krishna, Krishna, great yogi, soul of the universe, origin of all, by you, the Lord of the worlds, we are protected, O infallible one.
त्वं नः परमकं दैवं त्वं न इन्द्रो जगत्पते । भवाय भव गोविप्र देवानां ये च साधवः
You are our supreme deity, not Indra, O Lord of the world; for the welfare of cows, brahmins, gods, and the virtuous, you exist.
इन्द्रं नस्त्वाभिषेक्ष्यामो ब्रह्मणा चोदिता वयम् । अवतीर्णोऽसि विश्वात्मम् भूमेर्भारापनुत्तये
We, prompted by Brahmā, shall anoint you, O Indra. You have descended, O Soul of the Universe, to remove the burden of the earth.
श्रीशुक उवाच - एवं कृष्णमुपामन्त्र्य सुरभिः पयसात्मनः । जलैराकाशगङ्गाया ऐरावतकरोद्धृतैः
Śuka said: Thus, after inviting Kṛṣṇa, Surabhi bathed him with her own milk, and with waters brought by Airāvata from the celestial Gaṅgā.
इन्द्रः सुरर्षिभिः साकं चोदितो देवमातृभिः । अभ्यसिञ्चत दाशार्हं गोविन्द इति चाभ्यधात्
Indra, together with the sages among the gods and prompted by the mothers of the gods, anointed the descendant of Daśārha, addressing him as Govinda.
( मिश्र ) तत्रागतास्तुम्बुरुनारदादयो गन्धर्वविद्याधरसिद्धचारणाः । जगुर्यशो लोकमलापहं हरेः सुराङ्गनाः संननृतुर्मुदान्विताः
There arrived Tumburu, Nārada, and others—Gandharvas, Vidyādharas, Siddhas, and Cāraṇas—who sang the fame of Hari, which destroys the impurities of the worlds, while the celestial women danced with joy.
तं तुष्टुवुर्देवनिकायकेतवो व्यवाकिरन् चाद्भुतपुष्पवृष्टिभिः । लोकाः परां निर्वृतिमाप्नुवंस्त्रयो गावस्तदा गामनयन् पयोद्रुताम्
The leaders of the divine hosts praised him, and showered wondrous rains of flowers; the three worlds attained supreme delight, and the cows then gave forth streams of milk.
( अनुष्टुप् ) नानारसौघाः सरितो वृक्षा आसन् मधुस्रवाः । अकृष्टपच्यौषधयो गिरयोऽबिभ्रदुन्मणीन्
Various groups of rivers and trees flowed with honey; grains and herbs grew without cultivation, and the mountains bore precious gems.
कृष्णेऽभिषिक्त एतानि सत्त्वानि कुरुनन्दन । निर्वैराण्यभवंस्तात क्रूराण्यपि निसर्गतः
O descendant of Kuru, when Kṛṣṇa was anointed, all beings—even those cruel by nature—became free from enmity, O dear one.
इति गोगोकुलपतिं गोविन्दमभिषिच्य सः । अनुज्ञातो ययौ शक्रो वृतो देवादिभिर्दिवम्
Thus, after anointing Govinda, the lord of the cows and cowherds, Indra, permitted by him and accompanied by the gods and others, returned to heaven.
दुर्गां विनायकं व्यासं विष्वक्सेनं गुरून् सुरान् । स्वे स्वे स्थाने त्वभिमुखान् पूजयेत् प्रोक्षणादिभिः
One should worship Durgā, Vināyaka, Vyāsa, Viṣvaksena, the teachers, and the gods, each facing their own direction, with offerings such as sprinkling and others.
चन्दनोशीरकर्पूर कुङ्कुमागुरुवासितैः । सलिलैः स्नापयेन्मन्त्रैः नित्यदा विभवे सति
With sandalwood, camphor, kuṅkuma, aguru, and fragrant waters, one should bathe (the deity) with mantras daily, if resources allow.
स्वर्णघर्मानुवाकेन महापुरुषविद्यया । पौरुषेणापि सूक्तेन सामभी राजनादिभिः
With the recitation of the Svarṇagharman hymn, the Mahāpuruṣa-vidyā, the Pauruṣa Sūkta, and Sāman hymns, O King, one should perform the rites.
वस्त्रोपवीताभरण पत्रस्रग्गन्धलेपनैः । अलङ्कुर्वीत सप्रेम मद्भक्तो मां यथोचितम्
With garments, sacred threads, ornaments, leaf-garlands, and fragrant ointments, my devotee should adorn me with love, as is proper.
पाद्यं आचमनीयं च गन्धं सुमनसोऽक्षतान् । धूपदीपोपहार्याणि दद्यान्मे श्रद्धयार्चकः
With water for washing the feet, for sipping, with fragrance, flowers, unbroken rice, incense, lamps, and offerings, the worshipper should present them to me with faith.
गुडपायससर्पींषि शष्कुल्यापूपमोदकान् । संयावदधिसूपांश्च नैवेद्यं सति कल्पयेत्
One should prepare offerings such as sweet rice with jaggery, clarified butter, fried cakes, rice cakes, and sweets, as well as curd, soup, and other foods, if available.
अभ्यङ्गोन्मर्दनादर्श दन्तधावाभिषेचनम् । अन्नाद्यगीतनृत्यादि पर्वणि स्युरुतान्वहम्
Oiling, massaging, mirrors, tooth-cleaning, bathing, food, drink, singing, dancing, and the like should be performed daily and on festival days.
विधिना विहिते कुण्डे मेखलागर्तवेदिभिः । अग्निमाधाय परितः समूहेत् पाणिनोदितम्
In the prescribed manner, in a consecrated fire-pit with girdle, fuel, and altar, one should kindle the fire and gather it all around, as directed by hand.
