विबुधाश्चोषिरे तत्र सहस्रपरिवत्सरान्
The gods drank there for a thousand years.
कर्मणा तेन विख्यातं नैमिषं मुनिपूजितम्
By that act, Naimisha became renowned and honored by sages.
रोहिणी स सुता तत्र गोमती साभवत् क्षणात्
There, Rohini gave birth to a daughter, and Gomati appeared in an instant.
रुन्धत्याः सुतायात्रादानमुत्तमतेजसः
From the daughter of Rundhati came a son of supreme brilliance.
यत्र वैरं समभवद्विश्वामित्रवसिष्ठयोः
There, enmity arose between Vishvamitra and Vasishtha.
पराभवो वसिष्ठस्य यस्य ज्ञाने ह्यवर्त्तयत्
Vasishtha's defeat occurred, for his wisdom was obstructed.
नैमिषं जज्ञिरे यस्मान्नैमिषीयास्ततः स्मृताः
Because Naimisha was born there, its people are called Naimishiyas.
पुरूरवसि विक्रान्ते प्रशासति वसुंधराम्
When Pururavas, the mighty, ruled the earth,
तुतोष नैव रत्नानां लोभादिति हि नः श्रुतम्
He was never pleased by the abundance of gems, for he was not greedy, as we have heard.
आजहार च तत्सत्रमुर्वश्या सह संगतः
He performed that sacrifice, united with Urvashi.
यं गर्भं सुषुवे गङ्गा पावकाद्दीप्ततेजसम्
The child whom Ganga bore, radiant with fiery energy,
हिरण्मयं ततश्चके यज्ञवाटं महात्मनाम्
Then he made a golden sacrificial altar for the great souls.
स प्रविश्य ततः सत्रे तेषाममिततेजसाम्
He entered then into the sacrifice of those of immeasurable brilliance.
तं दृष्ट्वा महादाश्वर्यं यज्ञवाटं हिरण्मयम्
Seeing that wondrous golden sacrificial altar,
नैमिषेयास्ततस्तस्य चुक्रुधुर्नृपतिं भृशम्
The Naimishiyas then became greatly angry with the king.
तपोनिष्ठाश्च राजानं मुनयो देवचोदिताः
The ascetics, prompted by the gods, opposed the king.
और्वशेयैस्ततस्तस्य युद्धं चक्रे नृपो भुवि
Then, the king fought a battle on earth with the descendants of Urvashi.
स तेष्ववभृथेष्वेव धर्म्मशीलो महीपतिः
That righteous king, among them at the ablutions, remained steadfast in dharma.
शान्तयित्वा तु राजानं तदा ब्रह्मविदस्तथा
Then, having calmed the king, those knowers of Brahman acted accordingly.
बभूव सत्रे तेषां तु ब्रह्मचर्यं महात्मनाम्
In their sacrificial assembly, the great souls observed celibacy.
वैखानसैः प्रियसखैर्वाल खिल्यैर्मरीचिभिः
With dear friends, the Vaikhānasas, the Vālakhilyas, and the Marīcis.
वितृदेवाप्सरःसिद्धैर्गन्धर्वोरगचारणैः
Along with the Pitṛs, gods, Apsarases, Siddhas, Gandharvas, Nāgas, and Cāraṇas.
स्तोत्रशस्त्रैर्गृहैर्देवान्पितॄन्पित्र्यैश्च कर्मभिः
Through hymns, weapons, houses, and rituals for the gods, ancestors, and ancestral spirits.
आराधने स सस्मार ततः कर्मान्तरेषु च
In worship, he remembered them, and likewise in other rites.
व्याजह्रुर्मुनयो वाचं चित्राक्षरपदां शुभाम्
The sages uttered auspicious speech, adorned with varied syllables and words.
वितण्डावचनैश्चैव निजघ्नुः प्रतिवादिनः
And with disputational statements, they defeated their opponents.
न तत्र हारितं किञ्चिद्विविशुर्ब्रह्मराक्षसाः
Nothing was lost there; the Brahma-rākṣasas entered.
प्रायश्चित्तं दरिद्रं च न तत्र समजायत
Neither penance nor poverty arose there.
एवं च ववृधे सत्रं द्वादशाब्दं मनीषिणाम्
Thus the sacrificial assembly of the wise flourished for twelve years.
वृद्धाद्या ऋत्विजो वीरा ज्योतिष्टोमान् पृथक्पृथक्
The officiating priests, beginning with the elders, performed Jyotiṣṭoma sacrifices separately.
