उरोः पुत्रस्तु और्वश्च रुद्र एव प्रकीर्तितः । इत्यकृष्टवाचित्वाद्रुस्तुरोदनवाचकः ॥ ३,१८.
Aurva, the son from the thigh, is also called Rudra; because he did not cry out, he is called Rustu, which means 'one who does not weep.'
उरू रुद्रो ह्यतः प्रोक्तस्तत्पुत्रश्चौर्वसंज्ञकः । रुदमुर्वरितं कर्तुमौर्वोभूद्रुद्र एव सः ॥ ३,१८.
Therefore, Rudra is called Uru (thigh), and his son is named Aurva; Rudra became Aurva in order to produce a loud wailing.
गरुड उवाच । रोदनं कुरुते कस्मादुरुसंज्ञो हरे हरः । रुदमुर्वरितं कस्मात्कुरुते और्वाकारकः ॥ ३,१८.
Garuḍa said: O Hari, why is Hara called Uru, and why does he produce wailing? For what reason does Aurva cause such lamentation?
एतद्विस्तार्य मेब्रूहि पौत्राय तव सुव्रत । इत्युक्तस्तेन स हरिरुवाच करुणानिधिः ॥ ३,१८.
Tell me this in detail, O virtuous one, for your grandson; thus addressed by him, Hari, the ocean of compassion, spoke.
श्रीकृष्ण उवाच । दृष्ट्वा स्वबिंबं सुगुणैस्तु पूर्णं संकर्षणाख्यं नतपादपद्म् । श्रीब्रह्मशेषैर्जिष्णुकामैस्तथान्यैर्भारत्या वै स्वस्ति पैश्चापि नित्यम् ॥ ३,१८.
Śrī Kṛṣṇa said: Having seen his own reflection, full of noble qualities, named Saṃkarṣaṇa, bowing at the lotus feet, along with Brahmā, Śeṣa, Jīṣṇu, Kāma, and others, and with Bhāratī, always offering auspiciousness even to the western direction.
दृष्ट्वा हरिं पुलकाङ्गस्तु रुद्रः सभाष्पचक्षू रुद्धकण्ठश्च हृष्टः । अनाद्यनन्तब्रह्मकल्पेषु नैव कृतं यया स्मरणं सर्वदैव ॥ ३,१८.
Seeing Hari, Rudra became thrilled, his body bristling, his eyes filled with tears, his throat choked, and he was delighted; in the endless cycles of Brahma's creation, such remembrance had never occurred at any time.
पादारविन्दे सुनखैर्विभूषिते दृष्टे मया केन पुण्येन देव । दृष्ट्वादृष्ट्वा पादपद्मं मुरारेः पुनः पुना रुद्धकण्ठो बभूव ॥ ३,१८.
When I saw the lotus feet adorned with beautiful nails, by what merit, O Lord, did I behold them? Seeing and not seeing the lotus feet of Murāri again and again, my throat became choked.
रुरोद रुद्रो भयकंपिताङ्गः कथं पुनर्दर्शनं मे प्रभोः स्यात् । मुकुन्द नारायण विश्वमूर्ते वागिन्द्रियेण स्तवनं मे कथं स्यात् ॥ ३,१८.
Rudra wept, his limbs trembling with fear: How can I again have a vision of my Lord? O Mukunda, Nārāyaṇa, form of the universe, how can I praise you with speech and senses?
मद्दर्शनं सर्वदा पापुयुक्तं तथा मद्वाक्सर्वदा पापयुक्ता । मद्दर्शनं सर्वदा स्त्रीषु सक्तमभूच्च ते दर्शनं मे ह्यसक्तम् ॥ ३,१८.
My vision has always been tainted by sin, likewise my words have always been tainted by sin; my vision has always been attached to women, but your vision of me is indeed unattached.
आसक्तता पुत्रदारादिकानां सम्यक्शक्तिस्तवने नास्ति विष्णोः । विष्णुस्तुतौ नावकाशोस्ति वाचो दृष्टोहं त्वं केन पुण्येन देव ॥ ३,१८.
Attachment to sons, wives, and others prevents proper devotion in praising Viṣṇu; in praising Viṣṇu, there is no opportunity for speech; I have seen you, O Lord, by what merit?
अनन्तकर्णेश सुचन्द्रसंज्ञ श्रोत्रेण नित्यं न कथा श्रुता ते । श्रुता मया बहुधा लोकवार्ता दृष्टो मया त्वं केन पुण्येन देव ॥ ३,१८.
O Lord of endless ears, named Su-candra, your stories have never been heard by my ears; I have heard many worldly tales, but I have seen you, O Lord, by what merit?
दृष्ट्वादृष्ट्वा पादपीठं हरेश्च पुनः पुना रुद्धङ्कठो बभूव । रुरोद रुद्रो भयकंपिताङ्गः कथं पुनः श्रवणं स्यात्कथायाः ॥ ३,१८.
Seeing and not seeing the footstool of Hari again and again, my throat became choked; Rudra wept, his limbs trembling with fear: How can I again hear your stories?
त्वमीश वैकुण्ठ सुवायुसंज्ञस्त्वदर्पितं गन्धपुष्पादिकं च । सदा न लिप्तं च भुजैर्विलिप्तं तन्मूत्रविष्ठादिमकर्दमाम्बुभिः ॥ ३,१८.
O Lord, Vaikuṇṭha, named Suvāyu, whatever fragrance, flowers, and the like offered to you are never smeared on my arms, but are polluted by urine, excrement, and muddy water.
स्त्रीणां कुचोदैश्च कचोदकैश्चकक्षोदकैर्गात्रजलैर्मुकुन्द । अनर्पितैर्वस्त्रगन्धादिकैश्च दृष्टो मया केन पुण्येन देव ॥ ३,१८.
O Mukunda, by the water from the breasts, hair, armpits, and bodies of women, and by garments, fragrance, and the like not offered to you, by what merit, O Lord, have I seen you?
स्पृष्ट्वास्पृष्ट्वा हरिनिर्माल्यगन्धं पुनः पुना रुद्धकण्ठो बभूव । रुरोद रुद्रो भयकंपिताङ्गः कथं पुनः स्पर्शनं स्यात्सदा मे ॥ ३,१८.
Touching and not touching the fragrance of Hari's discarded flowers again and again, my throat became choked; Rudra wept, his limbs trembling with fear: How can I always touch you again?
नृसिंह नासास्थित नासिकेश मन्नासया क्वापि सुपद्मसौरभम् । नाघ्रातमित्थं पुनराघ्रातमेव ह्यनर्पितं गन्धपुष्पादिकं च ॥ ३,१८.
O Nṛsiṃha, Lord of the nose, my nose has never smelled the excellent fragrance of lotuses; thus, whatever fragrance, flowers, and the like not offered to you have been smelled again.
सुनासिकं सुष्ठुदन्तं मुरारे दृष्टं मुखं केन पुण्येन देव । घ्रात्वा घ्रात्वा विष्णुनिर्माल्यगन्धं पुनः पुना रुद्धकण्ठो बभूव ॥ ३,१८.
O Murāri, with beautiful nose and perfect teeth, by what merit, O Lord, have I seen your face? Smelling again and again the fragrance of Viṣṇu's discarded flowers, my throat became choked.
रुरोद रुद्रो भयकंपिताङ्गो जिघ्रामि निर्माल्यमिदं कथं ते । जिह्वास्थितो जिह्व संज्ञो मुरारे जिह्वेन्द्रियेणापि तथार्पितं च ॥ ३,१८.
Rudra wept, his limbs trembling with fear: How can I smell your discarded offerings? O Murāri, my tongue, named tongue, is offered to you even through the sense of taste.
नैवेद्यशेषं तुलसीविमिश्रितं विशेषतः पादजलेन सिक्तम् । यो स्नाति नित्यं पुरतो मुरारेः प्राप्नोति यज्ञायुतकोटिपुण्यम् ॥ ३,१८.
The remnants of food mixed with tulasī, especially sprinkled with water from the feet, whoever bathes daily before Murāri obtains the merit of ten million sacrifices.
एतादृशं तव नैवेद्यशेषं न भुक्तं वै सर्वदादित्यरूपम् । अनर्पितं तव देवस्य विष्णोर्भुक्तं मया बहुवारं मुकुन्द ॥ ३,१८.
Such remnants of your food have never been eaten, always radiant like the sun; whatever has not been offered to you, O Lord Viṣṇu, I have eaten many times, O Mukunda.
पादारविन्दे नार्पितं भक्ष्यभोज्यं दृष्टो मया केन पुण्येन देव । भुक्त्वाभुक्त्वा हरिनैरवेद्यजातं सुखं त्वदीयं रमया लालितं च ॥ ३,१८.
Food not offered at your lotus feet, by what merit, O Lord, have I seen it? Eating and not eating the food not offered to Hari, I have enjoyed your happiness, cherished by Rāma.
द्युभ्वाश्रयं तव मूर्धानमाहुः किरीटयुक्तं कुटिलैः कुन्तलैश्च । अनेकजन्मार्जितपुण्यसंचयैर्दृष्टं मया सज्जनसंगमाच्च ॥ ३,१८.
They say your head is the abode of heaven, adorned with a crown and curly locks; by the accumulation of merits earned over many births and by association with the virtuous, I have seen it.
अनेकजन्मार्जितपापसंचयैरदर्शनं यास्यति देवदेव । एवं सुभक्त्या च रुरोद रुद्रो दृष्ट्वा हरिं सुर्वगुणैः संपूर्णम् ॥ ३,१८.
Because of the accumulation of sins gathered over many births, one will lose sight of the Lord of gods. Thus, with deep devotion, Rudra wept upon seeing Hari, who is filled with all divine qualities.
पादारविन्दं तव विश्वमूर्ते योगीश्वरैर्हृदये संगृहीतम् । दृष्टं मया दयया वासुदेव द्रक्ष्ये कथं पुनरित्थं रुरोद ॥ ३,१८.
O Universal Form, your lotus feet, cherished in the hearts of the lords of yogis, have been seen by me through your compassion, O Vāsudeva. How will I see them again? Thus Rudra wept.
दृष्टं मया त्वरिवले भविनाशिशङ्खचक्रादिकैस्त्रिजगतापि च देव पूर्णम् । एतादृशं त्वदुदरं च कथं रमेश द्रक्ष्ये पुनः पुनरहं त्विति संरुरोद ॥ ३,१८.
O enemy of Mura, I have seen you, complete with conch, discus, and other emblems, pervading the three worlds. How will I, again and again, behold such a form of yours, O Lord of Lakṣmī? Thus he wept repeatedly.
आनन्दपूर्ण नखपूर्ण सुकेशपूर्ण लोमादिपूर्ण गुणपूर्ण सुघोणपूर्ण । वक्षः स्थलं तव विभोस्तु विशालभूतं सद्भूषणं विमलकौस्तुभशोभि लक्ष्म्या ॥ ३,१८.
Your broad chest, O all-pervading Lord, is filled with bliss, adorned with shining nails, beautiful hair, and fine body hair, full of virtues, and a splendid throat; it is gloriously decorated with the pure Kaustubha gem and Lakṣmī.
सुकोमलं श्रीतुलस्यास्तथैव सुपुष्पितं चन्द नैश्चर्चितं च । एतादृशं तव वक्षः स्थलं च दृष्टं मया तव कारुण्यदृष्ट्या ॥ ३,१८.
Your chest, O Lord, is soft with the touch of Śrī Tulasī, beautifully adorned with flowers, and worshipped by the moon. Such a chest I have seen by your merciful glance.
पुनः पुनर्दर्शनं मे कथं स्यादेवं रुद्रः स च भक्त्या रुरोद । अतस्तूरुर्नाम संप्राप्य रुद्रस्तत्पुत्रोभूद्दौर्वसंज्ञः स एव ॥ ३,१८.
How will I see you again and again? Thus Rudra, with devotion, wept. Then, having attained the name Tūrṇa, Rudra became his son, known as Aurva.
यस्माद्रुदं चोर्वरितं वै चकार तस्मात्स रुद्रस्त्वौर्वसंज्ञो बभूव । और्वस्तु लोकान्मोक्षयोग्यांश्च दृष्ट्वा ह्यत्यन्तं वै विषयेष्वेव निष्ठान् ॥ ३,१८.
Because he wept and wailed, he became known as Rudra and Aurva. Aurva, seeing those fit for liberation from the worlds, observed that they were utterly attached to sense objects.
स्तुवद्दैव चौर्वो विष्णुपादारविदं स्मृत्वास्मृत्वा रुद्धकण्ठो बभूव । ते पापिष्ठाः पापरूपान्भजन्तो दिनेदिने दुर्विषयान्कदिन्द्रियैः ॥ ३,१८.
Aurva, praising the lotus feet of Viṣṇu, remembering and forgetting, became choked with emotion. Those most sinful ones, taking on sinful forms, worship day by day the difficult sense objects with their wicked senses.
