उपतिष्ठ स्वलंकृत्य मैथुनाय च मां शुभे एवमुक्ताब्रवीदेनं स्वयमेव बृहस्पतिम्
'Adorn yourself and approach me for union, O auspicious one.' Thus addressed, she herself spoke to Brihaspati.
गर्भः परिणतश्चायं ब्रह्म व्याहरते गिरा अमोघरेतास्त्वं चापि धर्मं चैवं विगर्हितम्
'This embryo is mature and speaks with the voice of Brahman; your seed is unfailing, but this act is unrighteous.'
एवमुक्तो ऽब्रवीदेनां स्वयमेव बृहस्पतिः नोपदेष्टव्यो विनयस् त्वया मे वरवर्णिनि
Thus addressed, Brihaspati himself replied to her: 'You, of lovely complexion, must not instruct me in proper conduct.'
धर्षमाणः प्रसह्यैनां मैथुनायोपचक्रमे ततो बृहस्पतिं गर्भो धर्षमाणमुवाच ह
Overpowering her by force, he began intercourse; then the embryo spoke to Brihaspati, who was acting violently.
संनिविष्टो ह्य् अहं पूर्वम् इह नाम बृहस्पते अमोघरेताश्च भवान् नावकाश इह द्वयोः
'I am already present here, O Brihaspati, and your seed is unfailing; there is no room here for two.'
एवमुक्तः स गर्भेण कुपितः प्रत्युवाच ह यस्मात्त्वमीदृशे काले सर्वभूतेप्सिते सति अभिषेधसि तस्मात्त्वं तमो दीर्घं प्रवेक्ष्यसि
Thus addressed by the embryo, he, angered, replied: 'Because you, at such a time, when all beings desire birth, obstruct me, therefore you shall enter deep darkness for a long time.'
ततः कामं संनिवर्त्य तस्यानन्दाद्बृहस्पतेः तद्रेतस्त्वपतद्भूमौ निवृत्तं शिशुको ऽभवत्
Then, restraining his desire, Bṛhaspati’s seed, fallen to the earth from Mamatā’s lack of joy, became a child as it ceased.
सद्योजातं कुमारं तु दृष्ट्वा तं ममताब्रवीत् गमिष्यामि गृहं स्वं वै भरस्वैनं बृहस्पते
Seeing the boy born at once, Mamatā said, 'I will go to my own house; you, Bṛhaspati, take care of him.'
एवमुक्त्वा गता सा तु गतायां सो ऽपि तं त्यजत् मातापितृभ्यां त्यक्तं तु दृष्ट्वा तं मरुतः शिशुम् जगृहुस्तं भरद्वाजं मरुतः कृपया स्थिताः
Having spoken thus, she departed; and when she had gone, he too abandoned the child. Seeing the boy forsaken by both mother and father, the Maruts, moved by compassion, took up that Bharadvāja.
तस्मिन्काले तु भरतो बहुभिर् ऋतुभिर्विभुः पुत्रनैमित्तिकैर्यज्ञैर् अयजत्पुत्रलिप्सया
At that time, Bharata, the illustrious one, performed many seasonal sacrifices for the sake of obtaining a son.
यदा स यजमानस्तु पुत्रं नासादयत्प्रभुः ततः क्रतुं मरुत्सोमं पुत्रार्थे समुपाहरत्
But when the sacrificer did not obtain a son, he then performed the Marutsoma sacrifice for the sake of a son.
तेन ते मरुतस्तस्य मरुत्सोमेन तुष्टुवुः उपनिन्युर्भरद्वाजं पुत्रार्थं भरताय वै
By that sacrifice, the Maruts were pleased with him through the Marutsoma, and they brought Bharadvāja to Bharata for the purpose of a son.
दायादो ऽङ्गिरसः सूनोर् औरसस्तु बृहस्पतेः संक्रामितो भरद्वाजो मरुद्भिर्भरतं प्रति
Bharadvāja, the true-born son of Bṛhaspati, heir of the Aṅgiras line, was transferred by the Maruts to Bharata.
भरतस्तु भरद्वाजं पुत्रं प्राप्य विभुर् ब्रवीत् आदाव् आत्महिताय त्वं कृतार्थो ऽहं त्वया विभो
Bharata, having obtained Bharadvāja as a son, said, 'At first, for my own benefit, you were given; now, through you, I am fulfilled.'
पूर्वं तु वितथे तस्मिन् कृते वै पुत्रजन्मनि ततस्तु वितथो नाम भरद्वाजो नृपो ऽभवत्
Because, at first, the birth of a son was in vain, therefore Bharadvāja the king was called Vitatha.
तस्मादपि भरद्वाजाद् ब्राह्मणाः क्षत्रिया भुवि द्व्यामुष्यायणकौलीनाः स्मृतास्ते द्विविधेन च
From that Bharadvāja, brāhmaṇas and kṣatriyas arose on earth, known as the Dvyāmuṣyāyaṇa lineages, of two kinds.
ततो जाते हि वितथे भरतश्च दिवं ययौ भरद्वाजो दिवं यातो ह्य् अभिषिच्य सुतमृषिः
After Vitatha was born, Bharata went to heaven; and Bharadvāja, having anointed his son, also went to heaven.
दायादो वितथस्यासीद् भुवमन्युर् महायशाः महाभूतोपमाः पुत्राश् चत्वारो भुवमन्यवः
Bhuvamanyu, of great fame, became the heir of Vitatha; and his four sons, the Bhuvamanyus, were like great beings.
बृहत्क्षत्रो महावीर्यो नरो गर्गश्च वीर्यवान् नरस्य संकृतिः पुत्रस् तस्य पुत्रो महायशाः
Bṛhatkṣatra, of great valor, Nara, and Garga, who was mighty; Saṃkṛti was the son of Nara, and his son was renowned.
गुरुधी रन्तिदेवश्च सत्कृत्यां ताव् उभौ स्मृतौ गर्गस्य चैव दायादः शिबिर्विद्वानजायत
Gurudhī and Rantideva, both remembered for their honor, and Śibi, the learned son of Garga, was born as his heir.
स्मृताः शैब्यास्ततो गर्गाः क्षत्रोपेता द्विजातयः आहार्यतनयश्चैव धीमानासीद् उरुक्षवः
From them, the Śaibyās and Gargās are remembered, twice-born with kṣatriya traits; and Urukṣavaḥ, wise son of Āhārya, was also born.
तस्य भार्या विशाला तु सुषुवे पुत्रकत्रयम् त्र्युषणं पुष्करिं चैव कविं चैव महायशाः
His wife Viśālā bore three sons: Tryuṣaṇa, Puṣkari, and the illustrious Kavi.
उरुक्षवाः स्मृता ह्य् एते सर्वे ब्राह्मणतां गताः काव्यानां तु वरा ह्य् एते त्रयः प्रोक्ता महर्षयः
These Urukṣavas are remembered as all having attained brāhmaṇa status; and among the Kāvyas, these three are said to be the foremost great sages.
गर्गाः संकृतयः काव्याः क्षत्रोपेता द्विजातयः संभृताङ्गिरसो दक्षा बृहत्क्षत्रस्य च क्षितिः
The Gargās, Saṃkṛtis, and Kāvyas are twice-born with kṣatriya traits; the assembled Aṅgirasas and Dakṣas, and the land of Bṛhatkṣatra.
बृहत्क्षत्रस्य दायादो हस्तिनामा बभूव ह तेनेदं निर्मितं पूर्वं पुरं तु गजसाह्वयम्
Bṛhatkṣatra's heir was named Hastin; by him, this city called Gajasāhvaya was first established.
हस्तिनश्चैव दायादास् त्रयः परमकीर्तयः अजमीढो द्विमीढश्च पुरुमीढस्तथैव च
Hastin had three illustrious heirs: Ajamīḍha, Dvimīḍha, and Purumīḍha.
अजमीढस्य पत्न्यस्तु तिस्रः कुरुकुलोद्वहाः नीलिनी धूमिनी चैव केशिनी चैव विश्रुता
Ajamīḍha had three wives, all renowned women of the Kuru lineage: Nīlinī, Dhūminī, and Keśinī.
स तासु जनयामास पुत्रान्वै देववर्चसः तपसो ऽन्ते महातेजा जाता वृद्धस्य धार्मिकाः
From them, he begot sons endowed with divine qualities; at the end of his austerities, the great and righteous Vṛddha was born.
भारद्वाजप्रसादेन विस्तरं तेषु मे शृणु आजमीढस्य केशिन्यां कण्वः समभवत्किल
By the grace of Bhāradvāja, hear in detail about them: In Keśinī, Ajamīḍha had a son named Kaṇva.
मेधातिथिः सुतस्तस्य तस्मात्काण्वायना द्विजाः अजमीढस्य भूमिन्यां जज्ञे बृहदनुर् नृपः
Medhātithi was his son; from him came the Kāṇvāyana Brāhmaṇas. Ajamīḍha's son Bṛhadan was born to Bhūminī.
