प्रत्यहं तालनो वीरः सेनापतिरमर्षणः
Every day, the heroic Talana, the unyielding commander, [fought].
भयभीता रिपोः शूरा हता भूपा हतौजसः
The enemy's warriors, terrified and their strength destroyed, were slain; the kings fell.
जम्बुकस्तु तथा श्रुत्वा दुःखितो गेहमाययौ
And Jambuka, having heard this, sorrowful, returned home.
निशीथे समनुप्राप्ते तत्सुता विजयैषिणी
When midnight arrived, his daughter, desiring victory—
आश्वास्य पितरं तं च ययौ मायाविशारदा
Having comforted her father, she, skilled in illusion, departed.
भ्रातरो तत्र गत्वासौ यत्र सर्वानबोधयत्
Her brothers went there, where she awakened them all.
निरस्त्रकवचान्बंधून्प्रतिदोलां समारुहत्
She mounted the palanquin, her relatives unarmed and without armor.
प्रभाते बोधिताः सर्वे स्नानध्यानादिकाः क्रियाः
At dawn, when all were awakened, they performed bathing, meditation, and other rites.
कृत्वा सा राक्षसीं मायां हृत्वा तान्गेहमाययौ ।। 3.3.12.
Having created that demoness by illusion, she carried her off and went to her own house.
विंध्योपरि महारण्ये नानासत्त्वनिषेविते इलविला योगसिद्धियुतः कामी राक्षसेभ्यो हि निर्भयः
On the Vindhya mountain, in a great forest frequented by many creatures, Ilavila, accomplished in yoga and desire, was fearless among the demons.
जम्बुकस्य सुता तत्र प्रत्यहं स्वजनैर्युता
There, the daughter of Jambuka, accompanied daily by her own people—
कृतेयं चैलविलिना माया मनुजमोहिनी इति श्रुत्वा तु चत्वारो विनाह्रादं ययुर्वनम्
This illusion, merged in a garment, was created to bewilder men; hearing this, the four, without Ahrada, went into the forest.
गीतनृत्यप्रवाद्यैश्च मोहयित्वा च त दिने
By singing, dancing, and performances, they enchanted him that day.
तयोर्मध्ये प्रमाणोऽयं विवाहो मे यदा भवेत्
Among them, this is the rule: when my marriage takes place—
हते तस्मिन्महाधूर्ते गत्वा संग्राममूर्द्धनि हत्वा तत्र स्थितान्वीराञ्छतघ्न्यः परिखाकृताः
When that great villain was slain, going to the head of the battle, they killed the heroes stationed there, and the moat-makers who destroyed hundreds.
तदा तु जम्बुको राजा शिवदत्तवरो बली शैवं यज्ञं च कृतवांस्तेषां नाम्नोपबृंहितम्
Then King Jambuka, the mighty best of the blessed, performed a Shaiva sacrifice, enhanced by their names.
रूपणस्तु तथा ज्ञात्वा देवकीं प्रत्यवर्णयत् मनसा च जगामाशु शरण्यां शरणं सती
Rupana, having understood thus, described Devaki, and in his mind swiftly sought refuge in the gracious one.
तदा तुष्टा जगाद्धात्री स्वप्नांते तामवर्णयत् 3.3.12.
Then the pleased Mother of the World described her at the end of a dream.
यदा तु जम्बुको राजा शिवदत्तवरो बली
When King Jambuka, the mighty best of the blessed—
मोहयित्वा तदाहं तं मोचयित्वा च ते सुतान्
Then, having enchanted him, I freed his sons.
इति श्रुत्वा सती देवी नमस्कृत्य महेश्वरीम्
Hearing this, the virtuous goddess bowed to Maheshvari.
एतस्मिन्नंतरे राजा देवमायाविमोहितः
Meanwhile, the king, bewildered by divine illusion—
तैर्बद्धो जम्बुको राजा निगडैरायसैर्दृढैः
King Jambuka was bound by them with strong iron fetters.
एतस्मिन्नंतरे तत्र कालियाद्यास्त्रयः सुताः
Meanwhile, there, the three sons—Kaliya and the others—
पुनर्युद्धमभूद्घोरं सेनयोरुभयोस्तदा
Then again there was a fierce battle between the two armies.
त्रीञ्छत्रून्कोष्ठकीकृत्य स्वशस्त्रैर्जघ्नुरूर्जिताः
Having confined three enemies in a cell, the mighty ones slew them with their own weapons.
कालियो दुःखितो भूत्वा सस्मार मनसा हरम्
Kaliya, afflicted by sorrow, remembered Hara in his mind.
एतस्मिन्नंतरे देवी देवकी पतिदेवता 3.3.12.
At that very moment, the goddess Devaki, devoted to her husband—
बोधयित्वा तु कृष्णांशं पञ्चशब्दगजस्थितम् तदा तुष्टा स्वयं देवी बोधयामास तान्मुदा
Having awakened the portion of Krishna residing in the five-syllabled elephant, then the goddess herself, being pleased, joyfully awakened them.
आह्लादः सूर्यवर्माणं कालियं च ततोऽनुजः
Ahlada, Suryavarman, and Kaliya, his younger brother, then—
