भविष्यन्ति कुमारास्तु पञ्च देवसुतोपमाः तेजस्विनः सुवृत्ताश्च यज्वानो धार्मिकाश्च ते
'There will be five sons, O goddess, equal to the sons of the gods—brilliant, well-conducted, performers of sacrifice, and righteous.'
तदंशस्तु सुदेष्णाया ज्येष्ठः पुत्रो व्यजायत अङ्गस्तथा कलिङ्गश्च पुण्ड्रः सुह्मस्तथैव च
Of Sudeṣṇā, the eldest son was born as her portion: Aṅga, Kaliṅga, Puṇḍra, and Suhma likewise.
वङ्गराजस्तु पञ्चैते बलेः पुत्राश्च क्षेत्रजाः इत्येते दीर्घतमसा बलेर्दत्ताः सुतास्तथा
The king of Vanga and these five are the sons of Bali, born of the field; thus, these sons were given to Bali by Dirghatamas.
प्रतिष्ठामागतानां हि ब्राह्मण्यं कारयंस्ततः ततो मानुषयोन्यां स जनयामास वै प्रजाः
For those who had attained establishment, he caused them to become Brahmins; then, from the human lineage, he indeed generated offspring.
ततस्तं दीर्घतमसं सुरभिर्वाक्यमब्रवीत् विचार्य यस्माद्गोधर्मं प्रमाणं ते कृतं विभो
Then Surabhi spoke to Dirghatamas, having considered: 'Because you have made the law of the cow your authority, O mighty one—'
शक्त्या चानन्ययास्मासु तेन प्रीतास्मि ते ऽनघ तस्मात्तुभ्यं तमो दीर्घम् आघ्रायापनुदामि वै
'And because of your unwavering devotion to us, I am pleased with you, O blameless one; therefore, I will inhale and dispel from you the long darkness.'
बार्हस्पत्यस्तथैवैष पाप्मा वै तिष्ठति त्वयि जरां मृत्युं तमश्चैव आघ्रायापनुदामि ते
'This sin of Brihaspati also remains in you; I will inhale and remove from you old age, death, and darkness.'
सद्यः स घ्रातमात्रस्तु असितो मुनिसत्तमः आयुष्मांश्च वपुष्मांश्च चक्षुष्मांश्च ततो ऽभवत्
Immediately, as soon as he was smelled, the eminent sage Asita became endowed with long life, beauty, and sight.
गो ऽभ्याहते तमसि वै गौतमस्तु ततो ऽभवत् काक्षीवांस्तु ततो गत्वा सह पित्रा गिरिव्रजम्
When the darkness was dispelled by the cow, Gautama then arose; Kakshivat, having gone with his father, entered Girivraja.
दृष्ट्वा स्पृष्ट्वा पितुर्वै स ह्य् उपविष्टश्चिरं तपः ततः कालेन महता तपसा भावितस्तु सः
Having seen and touched his father, he sat for a long time in austerity; then, after a great period, he was purified by asceticism.
विधूय मातृजं कायं ब्राह्मण्यं प्राप्तवान्विभुः ततो ऽब्रवीत्पिता तं वै पुत्रवानस्म्यहं त्वया
Having cast off the maternal body, the illustrious one attained Brahminhood; then his father spoke to him: 'I am a father because of you.'
सत्पुत्रेण तु धर्मज्ञ कृतार्थो ऽहं यशस्विना मुक्त्वात्मानं ततो ऽसौ वै प्राप्तवान्ब्रह्मणः क्षयम्
'With a righteous and renowned son, I am fulfilled; having released himself, he then attained the abode of Brahman.'
ब्राह्मण्यं प्राप्य काक्षीवान् सहस्रमसृजत्सुतान् कौष्माण्डा गौतमाश्चैव स्मृताः काक्षीवतः सुताः
Having attained Brahminhood, Kakshivat produced a thousand sons; the Kaushmandas and Gautamas are remembered as the sons of Kakshivat.
इत्येष दीर्घतमसो बलेर्वैरोचनस्य च समागमो वः कथितः संततिश्चोभयोस्तथा
Thus, the meeting of Dirghatamas, Bali, and Vairochana has been told to you, as well as the lineage of both.
बलिस्तानभिनन्द्याह पञ्च पुत्रानकल्मषान् कृतार्थः सो ऽपि धर्मात्मा योगमायावृतः स्वयम्
Bali, having praised those five sinless sons, spoke; he too, righteous in soul, fulfilled, was himself enveloped in yogic power.
अदृश्यः सर्वभूतानां कालापेक्षः स वै प्रभुः तत्राङ्गस्य तु दायादो राजासीद्दधिवाहनः
Invisible to all beings, he, the lord, awaited the proper time; there, the heir of Anga was king Dadhivahana.
दधिवाहनपुत्रस्तु राजा दिविरथः स्मृतः आसीद् दिविरथापत्यं विद्वान्धर्मरथो नृपः
The son of Dadhivahana was the king known as Diviratha; from Diviratha's lineage came the wise king Dharmaratha.
स हि धर्मरथः श्रीमांस् तेन विष्णुपदे गिरौ सोमः शुक्रेण वै राज्ञा सह पीतो महात्मना
That Dharmaratha, glorious, together with the great-souled king Shukra, drank Soma on the mountain at Vishnu's place.
अथ धर्मरथस्याभूत् पुत्रश्चित्ररथः किल तस्य सत्यरथः पुत्रस् तस्माद्दशरथः किल
Then Dharmaratha had a son named Citraratha; his son was Satyaratha, and from him was born Dasharatha.
लोमपाद इति ख्यातस् तस्य शान्ता सुताभवत् अथ दाशरथिर् वीरश् चतुरङ्गो महायशाः
He became known as Lomapada; his daughter was Shanta. Then the heroic descendant of Dasharatha, famed for his fourfold army, arose.
ऋष्यशृङ्गप्रसादेन जज्ञे स्वकुलवर्धनः चतुरङ्गस्य पुत्रस्तु पृथुलाक्ष इति स्मृतः
By the favor of Ṛṣyaśṛṅga, a son was born who increased his own lineage; the son of Caturaṅga is remembered as Pṛthulākṣa.
पृथुलाक्षसुतश्चापि चम्पनामा बभूव ह चम्पस्य तु पुरी चम्पा पूर्वं या मालिनी भवत्
And Pṛthulākṣa's son was named Campa; Campa's city, Campā, was formerly called Mālinī.
पूर्णभद्रप्रसादेन हर्यङ्गो ऽस्य सुतो ऽभवत् यज्ञे विभाण्डकाच्चास्य वारणः शत्रुवारणः
By the favor of Pūṛṇabhadra, his son was Haryaṅga; and from Vibhāṇḍaka at a sacrifice, his son was Vāraṇa, also called Śatruvāraṇa.
अवतारयामास महीं मन्त्रैर्वाहनमुत्तमम् हर्यङ्गस्य तु दायादो जातो भद्ररथः किल
He brought down to earth, by mantras, an excellent vehicle; and Haryaṅga's heir was born, known as Bhadraratha.
अथ भद्ररथस्यासीद् बृहत्कर्मा जनेश्वरः बृहद्भानुः सुतस्तस्य तस्माज्जज्ञे महात्मवान्
Then Bhadraratha had a son, Bṛhatkarmā, lord of men; his son was Bṛhadbhānu, and from him was born a great-souled one.
बृहद्भानुस्तु राजेन्द्रो जनयामास वै सुतम् नाम्ना जयद्रथं नाम तस्माद्बृहद्रथो नृपः
Bṛhadbhānu, the king, indeed begot a son named Jayadratha; from him came the king Bṛhadratha.
आसीद्बृहद्रथाच्चैव विश्वजिज्जनमेजयः दायादस्तस्य चाङ्गो वै तस्मात्कर्णो ऽभवन्नृपः
From Bṛhadratha came Viśvajit and Janamejaya; his heir was Aṅga, and from him was born the king Karṇa.
कर्णस्य वृषसेनस्तु पृथुसेनस्तथात्मजः एते ऽङ्गस्यात्मजाः सर्वे राजानः कीर्तिता मया विस्तरेणानुपूर्व्याच्च पूरोस्तु शृणुत द्विजाः
Karṇa's sons were Vṛṣasena and Pṛthusena; all these are the sons of Aṅga, kings whom I have recounted in detail and succession. Now hear of Pūru, O twice-born.
कथं सूतात्मजः कर्णः कथमङ्गस्य चात्मजः एतद् इच्छामहे श्रोतुम् अत्यन्तकुशलो ह्य् असि
How is Karṇa the son of a charioteer, and how is he also the son of Aṅga? We wish to hear this, for you are exceedingly skilled.
बृहद्भानुसुतो जज्ञे राजा नाम्ना बृहन्मनाः तस्य पत्नीद्वयं ह्य् आसीच् छैब्यस्य तनये ह्य् उभे यशोदेवी च सत्या च तयोर्वंशं च मे शृणु
