Garuda Purana

तं दारयति वज्रेण यस्मात्तस्मात्पुरन्दरः । चतुर्दशसु चेन्द्रेषु मन्त्रद्युम्नस्तु षष्ठकः ॥ ३,२८.

Because he shatters them with his thunderbolt, he is called Purandara; among the fourteen Indras, Mantradyumna is the sixth.

मन्त्रानष्ट महावीन्द्र देवो द्योतयते यतः । मन्त्रद्युम्नस्ततो लोके उभावप्येक एव तु ॥ ३,२८.

Because the great Indra, Mantrānaṣṭa, illuminates the gods, therefore, in the world, Mantradyumna and he are considered one and the same.

मन्त्रद्युम्नावतारोभूत्कुन्तीपुत्रोर्जुनो भुवि । विष्णोर्वायोरनन्तस्य चेन्द्रस्य खगसत्तम ॥ ३,२८.

The incarnation of Mantradyumna was Arjuna, son of Kuntī, on earth; O best of birds, of Viṣṇu, Vāyu, Ananta, and Indra.

पार्थश्चतुर्भिः संयुक्त इन्द्र एव प्रकीर्तितः । चतुर्थेपि च वायोश्च विशेषोस्ति सदार्जुन ॥ ३,२८.

Partha, when united with four, is indeed called Indra; and in the fourth, there is a distinction belonging to Vayu, always with Arjuna.

वालिर्नामा वानरस्तु पुरन्दर इति स्मृतः । चन्द्रवंशे समुत्पन्नो गाधिराजो विचक्षणः ॥ ३,२८.

Vali, the monkey, is remembered as Purandara; in the lunar dynasty, the wise king Gadhi was born.

He is known as the incarnation of Mantradyumna, remembered as the father of Visvamitra; because he maintained the cows with the mantras prescribed in the Vedas, with intelligence.

अतो गाधिरिति प्रोक्तस्तदर्थं भूतले ह्यभूत् । इक्ष्वाकुपुत्रो वीन्द्र विकुक्षिरिति विश्रुतः ॥ ३,२८.

Therefore, he is called Gadhi for that reason, as he existed on earth; the son of Ikshvaku, renowned as Vikukshi, is also called Vindra.

स एवेन्द्रावतारोभूद्धरिसेवार्थमेव च । विशेषेण हरिं कुक्षौ विज्ञानाच्च हरिः सदा ॥ ३,२८.

He was indeed an incarnation of Indra, for the purpose of serving Hari; especially, because of knowledge, Hari was always in his womb.

अतो विकुक्षिनामासौ भूलोके विश्रुतः सदा । रामपुत्रः कुशः प्रोक्त इन्द्र एव प्रकीर्तितः ॥ ३,२८.

Therefore, he is always known on earth by the name Vikukshi; Kusha, the son of Rama, is also declared to be Indra.

वाल्मीकिऋषिणा यस्मात्कुशेनैव विनिर्मितः । अतः [https://vedastudy.yolasite.com/kusha1.php कुश] इति प्रोक्तो जानकीनन्दनः प्रभुः ॥ ३,२८.

Because Kusha was created by the sage Valmiki, therefore the lord, the delight of Janaki, is called Kusha.

इन्द्रद्युम्नः पुरेंद्रस्तु गाधी वाली तथार्जुनः । विकुक्षिः कुश एवैते सप्त चेन्द्राः प्रकीर्तिताः ॥ ३,२८.

Indradyumna, Purendra, Gadhi, Vali, Arjuna, Vikukshi, and Kusha—these seven are all declared to be Indras.

Pradyumna, the son of Krishna, is indeed called Kama; because of his exceedingly radiant form, he bears the name Pradyumna.

यो रामभ्राता भरतः काम एवाभवद्भुवि । रामाज्ञां भरते यस्मात्तस्माद्भरतनामकः ॥ ३,२८.

Bharata, the brother of Rama, became Kama on earth; because he followed Rama's command, he is named Bharata.

चक्राभिमानि कामस्तु सुदर्शन इति स्मृतः । ब्रह्मैव कृष्णपुत्रस्तु सांबो जाम्बवतीसुतः ॥ ३,२८.

Kama, identified with the discus, is remembered as Sudarshana; the son of Krishna, Samba, son of Jambavati, is verily Brahma.

कामावतारो विज्ञेयः संदेहो नात्र विद्यते । यो रुद्रपुत्रः स्कन्दस्तु काम एव प्रकीर्तितः ॥ ३,२८.

रिपूनास्कंदते नित्यमतः स्कन्द इति स्मृतः । यो वा सनत्कुमारस्तु ब्रह्मपुत्रः खगाधिप । कामावतारो विज्ञेयो नात्र कार्या विचारणा ॥ ३,२८.

Because he always destroys enemies, he is remembered as Skanda; and Sanatkumara, the son of Brahma and lord of the birds, should be known as an incarnation of Kama—there is no need for further inquiry.

सुदर्शनश्च परमः प्रद्युम्नः सांब एव च । सनत्कुमारः सांबश्च षडेते कामरूपकाः ॥ ३,२८.

Sudarshana, the supreme one, Pradyumna, Samba, Sanatkumara, and also Samba—these six are forms of Kama.

ततश्च इन्द्रकामावप्युमादिभ्यो दशावरौ । तयोर्मध्ये तु गरुड काम इन्द्राधमः स्मृतः ॥ ३,२८.

Then, Indra and Kama, both having ten incarnations among Uma and others; among them, O Garuda, Kama is remembered as inferior to Indra.

प्राणस्त्वहङ्कार एव अहङ्कारकसंज्ञकः । गरुत्मदंशो विज्ञेयः कामेन्द्राभ्यां दशाधमः ॥ ३,२८.

Prana is indeed ahamkara, known as the sense of ego; know that Garutmada is a portion, and among Kama and Indra, he is the tenth and lowest.

तदनन्तरजान्वक्ष्ये शृणु वीन्द्र समाहितः । श्रवणान्मोक्षमाप्नोति महापापाद्विमुच्यते ॥ ३,२८.

Next, I shall explain what follows; listen attentively, O Vindra. By hearing this, one attains liberation and is freed from great sin.

कामपुत्रोनिरुद्धोऽपि हरेरन्यः प्रकीर्तितः । स एवाभूद्धरेः सेवां कर्तुं रामानुजो भुवि ॥ ३,२८.

Aniruddha, the son of Kama, is also declared to be another form of Hari; he indeed became the younger brother of Rama on earth to serve Hari.

शत्रुघ्न इति विख्यातः शत्रून्सूदयते यतः । अनिरुद्धः कृष्णपुत्रो प्रद्युम्नाद्योऽजनिष्ट ह ॥ ३,२८.

He is renowned as Shatrughna because he destroys enemies; Aniruddha, the son of Krishna, was indeed born from Pradyumna.

संकर्षणादिरूपैस्तु त्रिभिराविष्ट एव सः । एवं द्विरूपो विज्ञेयो ह्यनिरुद्धो महामतिः ॥ ३,२८.

He is pervaded by three forms, beginning with Sankarshana; thus, Aniruddha, the great-minded, is to be understood as having two forms.

कामभार्या रतिर्या तु द्विरूपा संप्रकीर्तिता । रुग्मपुत्री रुग्मवती कामभार्या प्रकीर्तिता ॥ ३,२८.

Kama’s wife, known as Rati, is described as having two forms; Rugmavati, daughter of Rukma, is called the wife of Kama.

Because of her great radiance, she is remembered as Rugmavati; the daughter of Duryodhana, named Lakshana, is also known as Rati.

काष्ठा सांबस्य भार्या सा लक्षणं संयुनक्त्यतः । लक्षणाभिधया भूमौ दुष्ट वीर्योद्भवा ह्यपि ॥ ३,२८.

Lakshana, the wife of Samba, is so called because she possesses auspicious marks; on earth, she is known by the name Lakshana, though born of impure valor.

एवं द्विरूपा विज्ञेया कामभार्या रतिः स्मृता । स्वायंभुवो ब्रह्मपुत्रो मनुस्त्वाद्यो गुरौ समः । राजधर्मेण विष्णोश्च जातः प्रीणयितुं हरेः ॥ ३,२८.

Thus, Rati, the wife of Kama, is to be known as having two forms; Svayambhuva, the son of Brahma, the first Manu, equal to the teacher, was born by the royal law of Vishnu to please Hari.

Brihaspati, the great-souled preceptor of the gods, had three incarnations, O king of birds; in the Rama incarnation, Brihaspati, possessed by the essence of the lotus-born, became known as Bharata.
