यदा तेभ्यो न बिभेति यदा चास्मान् न बिभ्यति यदा नेच्छति न द्वेष्टि ब्रह्म संपद्यते तदा
When one neither fears others nor causes fear, and neither desires nor hates, then one attains Brahman.
या दुस्त्यजा दुर्मतिभिर् या न जीर्यति जीर्यतः यो ऽसौ प्राणान्तिको रोगस् तां तृष्णां त्यजतः सुखम्
That thirst which is hard to abandon by the foolish, which does not age with the aging, which is a disease ending life—happiness comes to one who abandons it.
जीर्यन्ति जीर्यतः केशा दन्ता जीर्यन्ति जीर्यतः धनाशा जीविताशा च जीर्यतो ऽपि न जीर्यति
Hair ages with the aging, teeth age with the aging, the desire for wealth and life ages not, even as one ages.
यच् च कामसुखं लोके यच् च दिव्यं महत् सुखम् तृष्णाक्षयसुखस्यैते नार्हन्ति षोडशीं कलाम्
All the pleasures of the world and even the great divine joys are not worth a sixteenth part of the happiness from the cessation of thirst.
एवम् उक्त्वा स राजर्षिः सदारः प्राविशद् वनम् कालेन महता चायं चचार विपुलं तपः
Having spoken thus, the royal sage entered the forest with his wife, and for a long time performed great austerities.
भृगुतुङ्गे गतिं प्राप तपसो ऽन्ते महायशाः अनश्नन् देहम् उत्सृज्य सदारः स्वर्गम् आप्तवान्
At the end of his austerities, the illustrious one reached the summit of Bhrigutunga, abandoned his body without eating, and attained heaven with his wife.
तस्य वंशे मुनिश्रेष्ठाः पञ्च राजर्षिसत्तमाः यैर् व्याप्ता पृथिवी सर्वा सूर्यस्येव गभस्तिभिः
In his lineage were five eminent royal sages, O best of sages, by whom the whole earth was pervaded like the rays of the sun.
यदोस् तु वंशं वक्ष्यामि शृणुध्वं राजसत्कृतम् यत्र नारायणो जज्ञे हरिर् वृष्णिकुलोद्वहः
Now I will recount the lineage of Yadu, honored by kings, in which Narayana, Hari, the glory of the Vrishni clan, was born.
सुस्थः प्रजावान् आयुष्मान् कीर्तिमांश् च भवेन् नरः ययातिचरितं नित्यम् इदं शृण्वन् द्विजोत्तमाः
A man who always listens to this account of Yayati, O best of twice-born, becomes healthy, prosperous, long-lived, and renowned.
पुरोर् वंशं वयं सूत श्रोतुम् इच्छाम तत्त्वतः द्रुह्यस्यानोर् यदोश् चैव तुर्वसोश् च पृथक् पृथक्
Suta, we wish to hear in truth the lineage of Puru, as well as that of Druhyu, Anu, Yadu, and Turvasu, each separately.
शृणुध्वं मुनिशार्दूलाः पुरोर् वंशं महात्मनः विस्तरेणानुपूर्व्या च प्रथमं वदतो मम
Hear, O best of sages, the lineage of Puru, the great soul, as I recount it to you in detail and in order from the beginning.
पुरोः पुत्रः सुवीरो ऽभून् मनस्युस् तस्य चात्मजः राजा चाभयदो नाम मनस्योर् अभवत् सुतः
Puru's son was the mighty king Suvīra; his son was Manasyu, and Manasyu's son was the king named Abhayada.
तथैवाभयदस्यासीत् सुधन्वा नाम पार्थिवः सुधन्वनः सुबाहुश् च रौद्राश्वस् तस्य चात्मजः
In the same way, Abhayada had a son named Sudhanvan, a king; Sudhanvan's son was Subāhu, and Raudrāśva was his son.
रौद्राश्वस्य दशार्णेयुः कृकणेयुस् तथैव च कक्षेयुस्थण्डिलेयुश् च सन्नतेयुस् तथैव च
Raudrāśva had sons: Daśārṇeya, Kṛkaṇeya, Kakṣeya, Sthaṇḍileya, and Sannateya as well.
ऋचेयुश् च जलेयुश् च स्थलेयुश् च महाबलः धनेयुश् च वनेयुश् च पुत्रकाश् च दश स्त्रियः
Also Ṛceya, Jaleya, Sthaleya the mighty, Dhaneya, and Vaneya—these ten sons, and ten daughters as well.
भद्रा शूद्रा च मद्रा च शलदा मलदा तथा खलदा च ततो विप्रा नलदा सुरसापि च
Bhadrā, Śūdrā, Madrā, Śaladā, Maladā, Khaladā, Viprā, Naladā, Surasā, and Gocapalā—these were the ten.
तथा गोचपला च स्त्रीरत्नकूटा च ता दश ऋषिर् जातो ऽत्रिवंशे च तासां भर्ता प्रभाकरः
Thus, Gocapalā and Strīratnakūṭā—these ten; a sage was born in the lineage of Atri, and their husband was Prabhākara.
भद्रायां जनयाम् आस सुतं सोमं यशस्विनम् स्वर्भानुना हते सूर्ये पतमाने दिवो महीम्
From Bhadrā, he begot a son, the illustrious Soma, when the sun was struck down by Svarbhānu and was falling from the sky to the earth.
तमोभिभूते लोके च प्रभा येन प्रवर्तिता स्वस्ति ते ऽस्त्व् इति चोक्त्वा वै पतमानो दिवाकरः
When the world was overcome by darkness, it was he who brought forth light; saying, 'May there be well-being for you,' the falling sun spoke thus.
वचनात् तस्य विप्रर्षेर् न पपात दिवो महीम् अत्रिश्रेष्ठानि गोत्राणि यश् चकार महातपाः
By the word of that sage among Brāhmaṇas, the sun did not fall from the sky to the earth; the great ascetic Atri established the foremost lineages.
यज्ञेष्व् अत्रेर् बलं चैव देवैर् यस्य प्रतिष्ठितम् स तासु जनयाम् आस पुत्रिकास्व् आत्मकामजान्
In the sacrifices of Atri, his power was established by the gods; he begot sons from those daughters, according to his own wish.
दश पुत्रान् महासत्त्वांस् तपस्य् उग्रे रतांस् तथा ते तु गोत्रकरा विप्रा ऋषयो वेदपारगाः
He begot ten sons of great strength, devoted to severe austerities; those Brāhmaṇas, creators of lineages, were sages accomplished in the Vedas.
स्वस्त्यात्रेया इति ख्याताः किंच त्रिधनवर्जिताः कक्षेयोस् तनयास् त्व् आसंस् त्रय एव महारथाः
They became known as the Svastyātreyas, and were without the three debts; Kakṣeya had three sons, all great chariot-warriors.
सभानरश् चाक्षुषश् च परमन्युस् तथैव च सभानरस्य पुत्रस् तु विद्वान् कालानलो नृपः
Sabhānara, Cākṣuṣa, and Paramanyu likewise; Sabhānara's son was the wise king Kālānala.
कालानलस्य धर्मज्ञः सृञ्जयो नाम वै सुतः सृञ्जयस्याभवत् पुत्रो वीरो राजा पुरंजयः
Kālānala's son was Sṛñjaya, knower of dharma; Sṛñjaya's son was the heroic king Puraṃjaya.
जनमेजयो मुनिश्रेष्ठाः पुरंजयसुतो ऽभवत् जनमेजयस्य राजर्षेर् महाशालो ऽभवत् सुतः
O best of sages, Janamejaya was born as the son of Puraṃjaya; Janamejaya, the royal sage, had a son named Mahāśāla.
देवेषु स परिज्ञातः प्रतिष्ठितयशा भुवि महामना नाम सुतो महाशालस्य विश्रुतः
Among the gods he was renowned, and his fame was established on earth; Mahāmanas, famed and noble, was the son of Mahāśāla.
जज्ञे वीरः सुरगणैः पूजितः सुमहामनाः महामनास् तु पुत्रौ द्वौ जनयाम् आस भो द्विजाः
A heroic son was born, honored by the hosts of gods, named Sumahāmanas; Mahāmanas begot two sons, O twice-born sages.
उशीनरं च धर्मज्ञं तितिक्षुं च महाबलम् उशीनरस्य पत्न्यस् तु पञ्च राजर्षिवंशजाः
Uśīnara, the righteous and patient king of great strength, had five wives descended from royal sages.
नृगा कृमिर् नवा दर्वा पञ्चमी च दृषद्वती उशीनरस्य पुत्रास् तु पञ्च तासु कुलोद्वहाः
Nṛgā, Kṛmi, Navā, Darvā, and the fifth, Dṛṣadvatī, were the five wives of Uśīnara, and from them arose noble lineages.
