प्रलये च विधेः पाते शिवलोकेऽप्यहं शिवः । ब्रह्मभालोद्भवः शंभूः सर्वादिः सर्गभाषणः
Even at the dissolution and the fall of the Creator, I remain as Śiva in the realm of Śiva—Śambhu, born from the brow of Brahmā, the origin of all, the speaker at the beginning of creation.
कृष्णवामाङ्गसंभूता यथा राधा तथैव च । तथैव दुर्गा लक्ष्मीश्च सावित्री च सरस्वती
Just as Rādhā was born from the left side of Kṛṣṇa, so too were Durgā, Lakṣmī, Sāvitrī, and Sarasvatī.
आदित्योऽऽयदितेः पुत्रः कायव्यूहेन द्वादश । तथैव च महेन्द्रश्च कायव्यूहाच्चर्तुदश
The Sun, son of Aditi, manifests in twelve forms through bodily expansions; likewise, Mahendra appears in fourteen forms by bodily expansion.
तथैव वसवश्चाष्टौ रुद्राश्चैकावशैव ते । मनुपाते चेन्द्रपातो विषयात्पतनं भवेत्
In the same way, there are eight Vasus and eleven Rudras; when Manu falls, and Indra falls, there is a fall from their respective realms.
समाययौ च सर्वेषां निधनं प्रलयेऽपि च । प्रलयो दर्शयामास ब्रह्माण्डं च जलप्लुतम्
At the time of dissolution, the end comes for all; the dissolution was shown, and the cosmic egg was seen submerged in water.
ब्रह्माणं च स्वलोकं च स्वात्मानं शक्तिभिश्च माम् । सर्वेषां मूलरूपश्च सर्वेशः कृष्ण एव च
Brahmā, his own realm, myself with my powers, and the root form of all—Kṛṣṇa alone is the Lord of all.
भज पुत्रं राजसूये यज्ञेशं यज्ञकारणम् । विधिवद्दक्षिणां दत्त्वां भवाब्धिं तर यादव
Worship the son, the Lord of sacrifice at the Rājasūya; by duly giving the sacrificial fee, O Yādava, cross the ocean of existence.
मुक्तिस्ते नास्ति निर्वाणा विषयी कश्यपो भवान । न ते दास्यं क्तधनमदितिर्देवकी तथा
There is no liberation or nirvāṇa for one attached to sense objects, O Kaśyapa; neither Aditi nor Devakī will obtain servitude or wealth for you.
व्रज स्वर्गं भोगबीजं स्वस्थानममरालयम् । शिवस्य वचनं श्रुत्वा संयत श्चशुभक्षणे
Go to heaven, the seed of enjoyment, your own abode, the immortal realm; hearing Śiva's words, he restrained himself at the auspicious moment.
तत्र संभृतसंभारो राजसूयं चकार सः । वसुदेवस्य हव्यं च साक्षाच्च जगृहः सुराः
There, having gathered all the necessary items, he performed the Rājasūya; and the gods themselves directly accepted the offerings of Vasudeva.
यत्र साक्षाच्च यज्ञेशो यज्ञोऽयं दक्षिणा सह । बूर्णाहुतिं दत्तवन्तं वसुदेवमुवाच सः
There, where the Lord of sacrifice himself, along with the sacrificial fee, was present in the sacrifice, he spoke to Vasudeva, who had offered the full oblation.
सनत्कुमार उवाच सर्वस्वं दक्षिणां देहि तुर्णं लक्ष्मीपतेः पितः । सार्थकं कुरु कर्मेदं वेदोक्तं वचनं श्रुणु
Sanatkumāra said: Give the entire sacrificial fee quickly, O father of Lakṣmī's husband; make this act meaningful—hear the words spoken in the Veda.
दक्षिणां विप्रमुद्दिश्य तत्कालं चेन्न दीयते । मुहूर्ते तु व्यतीते सा दक्षिणा द्विगुणा भवेत्
If the sacrificial fee is not given to the brāhmaṇa at that very time, after a moment has passed, the fee becomes double.
वासरे च बहिर्भूते भवेत्साऽपि चतुर्गुणा । त्रिरात्रे समतीते षड्गुणा दक्षिणा भवेत्
If a whole day passes, it becomes fourfold; after three nights, the fee becomes six times greater.
पक्षान्ते तु शतगुणा मासान्ते तु चतुर्गुणा । षण्मासेऽप्यधिके न्यूने च साहस्त्रगुणा तथा
At the end of a fortnight, it becomes a hundredfold; at the end of a month, fourfold; if six months pass, whether more or less, it becomes a thousandfold.
वर्षान्ते सा लक्षगुणा ब्रह्मणोक्तं च याटव । उभौ च नरकं यांतः कर्मकर्तृपुरोहितौ
At the end of a year, it becomes a hundred thousand times greater, as stated by Brahmā; both the performer of the rite and the officiating priest go to hell.
वासुदैवश्च तच्छुत्वा सर्वस्वमुत्ससर्जं सः । अधिकारांश्च साह् लादो वासुदेवाज्ञया तथा
Having heard this, Vasudeva renounced all his possessions, and by the command of Vāsudeva, Ugrasena also relinquished his authorities.
अमूल्यानां च रत्नानां दशकोटिमनुत्तममा । ददौ गर्गाय सर्वादौ स्वयं लक्ष्मौपतेः पिता
The father of Lakshmi's lord gave to Garga, at the very beginning, ten crores of priceless jewels.
शतकोटिं मणीन्द्राणां स्वर्णानां तच्चर्तुगुणम् । माणिक्यानां च मुक्तानां हीरकाणां तथैव च
He gave one hundred crores of foremost gems, four times that amount in gold, and likewise in rubies, pearls, and diamonds.
रौप्यं प्रवालं परमं स्वर्णपात्राणि यानि च । स्वस्त्रीणां स्ववधूनां चाप्यमूल्यरत्नभूषणम्
He gave silver, exquisite coral, golden vessels, and ornaments of priceless jewels belonging to his wives and daughters-in-law.
श्वेतचामरलक्षं च लक्षं च रत्नदर्पणम् । कामधेनुगणं सर्वं शतकोटिं गजानपि
He gave one hundred thousand white yak-tail fans, one hundred thousand jeweled mirrors, all herds of wish-fulfilling cows, and one hundred crores of elephants.
शतकौटिं गजेन्द्राणामश्वानां तच्चतुर्गुणम् । यद्धनं यादवानां च राज्ञो राजनुमोदनात्
He gave one hundred crores of lordly elephants, four times as many horses, and all the wealth of the Yadavas, with the king's approval.
ग्रामाणां शतलक्षं च ससस्यं फलितं तरुम् । धान्याचलानां लक्षं च शाल्यन्नानां तथैव च
He gave one hundred thousand villages with crops and fruit-bearing trees, and one hundred thousand mountains of grain, as well as heaps of rice.
पायसं पिष्टकं चैव मिष्टान्नं च सुधोपमम् । स्वस्तिकानां तिलानां च रम्यणि ल़ड्डुकानि च
He gave sweet rice, cakes, delicious foods like nectar, auspicious sesame, and delightful sweet balls.
दध्नां मधूनां दुग्धानां गुडानां हविषामपि । कुल्यानां शतकं दत्त्वा परिहारं चकार सः
He gave curds, honey, milk, jaggery, and offerings of clarified butter, and by giving a hundred water channels, he made atonement.
सकर्पूरं च ताम्दूलं सुशीतं वासितं जलम् । सुगन्धि चन्दनं चैव पारिजातस्य मालिकाम्
He gave camphor, betel nut, cool and fragrant water, and also scented sandalwood and garlands of pārijāta flowers.
आसनानि च रम्याणिवह्निशुद्धाशुकानि च । रत्ननिर्माणतल्पानि पुष्णाणि च फलानि च
He gave beautiful seats, pure white garments purified by fire, couches made of jewels, flowers, and fruits.
प्रददौ ब्राह्मणेभ्यश्च प्रफुल्लवदनेक्षणः । देवांश्च भोजयामास ब्राह्मणानां मुखैः सुभैः
With a blooming face, he gave these to the Brahmins, and he fed the gods through the mouths of the excellent Brahmins.
देवाश्च मुनयो रात्रौ स्वरामाभिश्चरेमिरे । प्रभाते प्रययुः सर्वे श्रीकृष्णानुमतेन च
At night, the gods and sages wandered with their celestial wives, and in the morning, all departed with the approval of Shri Krishna.
वादवाः प्रययुः सर्वेद्वारकां कृष्णपालिताम् । अमूल्यरात्नबूर्णां च रुक्मिणीदर्शनेन च
All the horses went to Dvārakā, protected by Krishna, filled with priceless jewels, and with the sight of Rukmini.
