अनुतापयुतं भूतं तच्छणु त्वं खगेश्वर । पूर्वं न जप्तं दिव्यमन्त्रं मुकुन्द तप्तं सदा क्लेशदावानलेन ॥ ३,२१.
Hear this, O lord of birds: that which is accompanied by repentance is true; previously, no divine mantra was recited, and Mukunda was always tormented by the fire of suffering.
न वै स्मृतं हरिनामामृतं च सदा स्मृतं हरिदोषादिकं च । न तु स्मृतं हरितत्त्वामृतं च सम्यक्श्रुतं लोलवार्तादिकं च ॥ ३,२१.
The nectar of Hari's name was not remembered, nor were the faults of Hari always remembered; nor was the nectar of Hari's true nature remembered, nor were the stories of the fickle world properly heard.
न पूजितं हरिपादारविन्दं सुपूजिताः पुत्रमित्रादिकाश्च । न वन्दितं हरिपादारविन्दं सुवन्दितो मित्रपादः सुघोरः ॥ ३,२१.
The lotus feet of Hari were not worshipped, though sons, friends, and others were well honored; the lotus feet of Hari were not saluted, though the feet of friends were greatly honored.
न दृष्टं वै धूपधूम्रैरुपेतं हरेर्वक्रं कुन्तलैः संवृतं च । पुत्रादिकं लालितं वै मुकुन्द न लालितं तव वक्रं मुरारे ॥ ३,२१.
The form of Hari, covered with curling locks and surrounded by incense smoke, was not seen; sons and others were cherished, but your form, O enemy of Mura, was not cherished.
सुलालितं भूषणैः पुत्रमित्रं न लालितं सर्वपापापहारि । न भुक्तं वै हरिनैरवेद्यशेषं मित्रालये षड्रसान्नं च भुक्तम् ॥ ३,२१.
My son and friends were adorned with beautiful ornaments, but not cherished; all sins are removed. I have not eaten the food offered to Hari, nor have I partaken of six-flavored meals in the house of friends.
सुपुष्पगन्धा नार्पिता ते मुरारे समर्पिताः पुत्रमित्रादिकेभ्यः । सन्तप्तोहं पुत्रमित्रादिकेषु कदा द्रक्ष्ये तव वक्त्रं मुकुन्द ॥ ३,२१.
Fragrant flowers were not offered to you, O enemy of Mura; they were given to sons and friends. I am afflicted among sons and friends; when will I behold your face, O Mukunda?
अवैष्णवान्नैः शिग्रुशाकादिकैश्च ह्यनर्पितान्नैश्च तथाप्यसंस्कृतैः । तथाप्यभक्ष्यै रसना च दग्धा कदा द्रक्ष्ये तव वक्त्रं मुकुन्द ॥ ३,२१.
I have eaten non-Vaishnava food, such as drumstick greens and others, and food not offered, nor sanctified. My tongue is burned by such forbidden things; when will I see your face, O Mukunda?
अष्टाक्षरीपूजया दिव्यतीर्थैर्विष्णोः पुरा भ्रामितैः शङ्खतीर्थैः । न पावितं मच्छरीरं मुरारे कदा द्रक्ष्ये तव व क्त्रं मुकुन्द ॥ ३,२१.
My body has not been purified by worship with the eight-syllable mantra, nor by divine pilgrimage to Vishnu's shrines, nor by circumambulation of conch-bearing holy places. O enemy of Mura, when will I see your face, O Mukunda?
अनर्पितैर्गन्धपुष्पादिकैश्च अनर्पितैर्भूषणैर्वस्त्रजातैः । अवैष्णवानां दिग्धगन्धादिदोषैर्गात्रं दग्धं कदा ह्युद्धरिष्ये मुकुन्द ॥ ३,२१.
My body has not been adorned with fragrant flowers, nor with ornaments and garments offered to you. It is burned by the faults of non-Vaishnavas, by smeared scents and other impurities; when, O Mukunda, will I be uplifted?
दग्धौ च पादौ मम वासुदेव न गच्छन्तौ क्षेत्रपथं हरेश्च । नेत्रे च दग्धे मम सर्वदापि नालोकितं तव देव प्रतीकम् ॥ ३,२१.
My feet are burned, O Vāsudeva, and do not walk the path to Hari's holy places. My eyes are burned, and never behold your divine form, O Lord.
दग्धौ च हस्तौ मम वासुदेव न पूजितं तव विष्णोः प्रतीकम् । मया कृतं पापजातं मुरारे कदा द्रक्ष्ये तव वक्रं मुकुन्द ॥ ३,२१.
My hands are burned, O Vāsudeva, and have not worshipped your image, O Vishnu. I have committed sins, O enemy of Mura; when will I see your face, O Mukunda?
मदीयदोषान्गणयन्न पूर्ण दयां कुरु त्वं सुद्धदास्यान्मुकुन्द । यावन्ति लोमानि मदीयगात्रे संति प्रभो सर्वदोर्षर्विदूर ॥ ३,२१.
Counting my faults, grant me your complete mercy, O Mukunda, and purify me by your service. O Lord, as many hairs as are on my body, so many are my faults, all far from virtue.
तावन्ति पापानि मदीयगात्रे कदा द्रक्ष्ये तव वक्त्रं मुकुन्द । अनन्तदेहे पतिपुत्रैर्गृहैश्च मित्रैर्धनैः पशुभृत्यादिकैश्च ॥ ३,२१.
As many sins as are on my body, O Mukunda, when will I see your face? In this endless body, with husband, sons, houses, friends, wealth, cattle, servants, and others.
सुखं नाप्तं ह्यपुमात्रं मुकुन्द सेवा मुक्ता तव देवस्य विष्णोः । इतः परं पुत्रमित्रादिकं च यास्ये नाहं तव दासी भवामि ॥ ३,२१.
I have not attained true happiness, O Mukunda, nor the liberation of serving you, O Lord Vishnu. Henceforth, I will go to sons and friends; I do not become your servant.
येये ब्रूयुः पुत्रमित्रादिकैश्च सम्यक्सुखं जायते मर्त्यलोके । तेषामास्ये मूत्रविष्ठादिकं च सम्यक्सदा पतितं चेति जाने ॥ ३,२१.
Those who say that happiness is found with sons and friends in the mortal world, I know that in their mouths always falls urine, excrement, and such things.
मित्रादीनां यत्कृतं द्रव्यजातं वृथा गतं मलरूपं च जातम् । सद्वैष्णवानां यत्कृतं द्रव्यजातं हरिप्राप्तेः कारणं स्यात्सदैव ॥ ३,२१.
Whatever wealth is acquired for friends and others is wasted and becomes impure. Whatever wealth is acquired by true Vaishnavas always becomes the cause of attaining Hari.
एतादृशं तत्तु जातं मुकुन्द अलं ह्यलं तेन दुःखं च भुक्तम् । संगं दत्तात्सज्जनानां सदा त्वं विना च त्वं दुर्जनानां च संगात् ॥ ३,२१.
Such things have happened, O Mukunda; enough, enough of this suffering endured. Always give association with virtuous people, and avoid the company of wicked ones.
संगैः सदा दुर्जनानां मुरारे गात्रं दग्धं न विरागेण युक्तम् । एतादृशाहं कां गातिं वा मुकुन्द यास्ये न जाने दयया मां च पाहि ॥ ३,२१.
By association with wicked people, O enemy of Mura, my body is burned and lacks detachment. In such a state, O Mukunda, what destination will I reach? I do not know; protect me with your mercy.
एतादृशो ह्यनुतापः खगेन्द्र प्रायश्चित्तं न च क्षौरादिकं च । भानोः कन्या ह्यनुतापं च कृत्वा विचारयामास हरेः सुतत्त्वम् ॥ ३,२१.
Such repentance, O king of birds, is not atonement, nor shaving and such acts. The daughter of the sun, having repented, considered the true nature of Hari.
सर्वोत्तमो हरिरेकः सदैव यतः पूर्णः सर्वगुणैस्ततश्च । सृष्टौ यस्माज्जयते विश्वजातमतो हरिः सर्वगुणैश्च पूर्णः ॥ ३,२१.
Hari alone is always supreme, for he is complete in all qualities. Since all creation arises from him, Hari is always full of all virtues.
यो देवानामाद्य अकार एव यतो ब्रह्माद्या नैव पूर्णाः समस्ताः । लक्ष्मीप्रसादाच्चिरपुण्येन जातो यथायोग्यं पूर्णगुणो विरिञ्चः ॥ ३,२१.
He is the original cause of the gods; from him, even Brahma and others are not complete. By Lakshmi's grace and long-earned merit, Virincha (Brahma) is born, possessing appropriate and full qualities.
न लक्ष्मीवद्गुणपूर्णो विरिञ्चो न विष्णुवद्गुणपूर्णा रमापि । न वायुवद्भारती चापि पूर्णा न शेषवद्वारुणी चापि पूर्णा ॥ ३,२१.
Virincha is not full of qualities like Lakshmi, nor is Lakshmi full of qualities like Vishnu. Nor is Bharati full like Vayu, nor is Varuni full like Shesha.
न वै रुद्रवत्पार्वती पूर्णरूपा ह्यन्येप्येवं नैव पूर्णाः सदैव । आलोचनामेवमेषा हि कृत्वा तपश्चक्रे यमुनायाश्च तीरे ॥ ३,२१.
Indeed, except for Pārvatī with Rudra, none are ever truly complete in form; having reflected thus, she performed austerities on the bank of the Yamunā.
तदाचाहं यमुनायाश्च तीरं पार्थेन साकं मृगयां गतः खग । दृष्ट्वा च तां तत्र तपश्चरन्तीं तदाब्रुवं मत्सखायं च पार्थम् ॥ ३,२१.
At that time, I went to the bank of the Yamunā with Pārtha for hunting, O bird; seeing her engaged in austerity there, I spoke to my friend Pārtha.
हे पार्थ शीघ्रं व्रज कन्यासमीपं त्वं पृच्छ कस्मादत्र तपः करोषि । एवं प्रोक्तस्तत्समीपं स गत्वा पृष्ट्वा चैतत्कारणं शीघ्रमेव ॥ ३,२१.
"O Pārtha, quickly go near the maiden and ask her why she is performing austerity here." Thus instructed, he went near her and promptly inquired about the reason.
आगत्य मामवदत्फाल्गुनोयं सर्वं वृत्तांन्तं त्वसौ मत्समीपे । ततस्त्वहं सुमुहूर्ते च तस्याः पाणिग्रहं कृतवांस्तत्र सम्यक् ॥ ३,२१.
Having returned, Phālguna told me the entire account while by my side; then, after a short while, I duly took her hand in marriage there.
तस्याश्च तापात्संततं मद्विचारात्प्रसन्नोहं सततं सुप्रसन्नः । पूर्णानन्दे रममाणास्य नित्यं तया च मे किं सुखंस्यात्खगेन्द्र ॥ ३,२१.
Because of her constant austerity and devotion to me, I am always well pleased with her, O king of birds; dwelling ever in perfect bliss with her, what greater happiness could there be for me?
मया विवाहोनुग्रहार्थं हि तस्या अङ्गीकृतो न तु सौख्याय वीन्द्र । तथा वक्ष्ये लक्ष्मणायाश्च रूपं पाणिग्राहे कारणं चापि वीन्द्रा ॥ ३,२१.
I accepted her for marriage out of compassion, not for pleasure, O best of the heroic; likewise, I will tell you of Lakṣmaṇā’s form and the reason for her hand being taken, O lord of birds.
शृणुष्व तत्तव वक्ष्यामि गोप्यं सच्छिष्यके नास्ति गोप्यं गुरोश्च ॥ ३,२१.
Listen attentively as I speak this secret; between a true disciple and teacher, there is no secrecy.
श्रीगरुडमहापुराणम् २२ श्रीकृष्ण उवाच । या लक्ष्मणा पूर्वसर्गे खगेन्द्र पुत्री ह्यभूद्वह्निवेदस्य वेत्तुः । सुलक्षणैः संयुतत्वाद्यतः सा सुलक्ष्मणेति प्रथिता खगेन्द्र
Śrī Kṛṣṇa said: O king of birds, Lakṣmaṇā, who in a previous creation was the daughter of Vahnivedas the knower of sacrifice, is renowned as Sulakṣmaṇā because she is endowed with auspicious marks.
