त्रिदिवारोहिभिर्ज्वालैर्जृम्भमाणो दिशो दश। निर्दहन्सर्वभूतानि ववृधे सोंतकोपमः1.41.
Blazing with flames reaching the heavens, spreading in all ten directions, burning all beings, he grew like the fire of destruction.
एतस्मिन्नंतरे ब्रह्मा मुनिमुर्वं समागतः। उवाच वार्यतां पुत्रो जगतस्त्वं दयां कुरु
At that moment, Brahmā, the sage, approached Urva and said: 'Restrain your son for the sake of the world; show compassion.'
अस्यापत्पस्यते विप्र करिष्ये साह्यमुत्तमं। तथ्यमेतद्वचः पुत्र शृणु त्वं वदतां वर
'O sage, I shall provide excellent support for this child. This word is true, O son; listen, best of speakers.'
और्व उवाच। धन्योस्म्यनुगृहीतोस्मि यन्मे त्वं भगवन्शिशोः। मतिमेतां ददासीह परमात्मन्हिताय वै
Aurva said: 'I am blessed, I am favored, O Lord, that you grant this wisdom here for the welfare of my child, O Supreme Self.'
प्रभातकाले संप्राप्ते कांक्षितव्ये समागमे। भगवंस्तर्पितः पुत्रः कैर्हव्यैः प्राप्स्यते सुखम्
When the morning comes and the desired meeting takes place, O Lord, by what offerings will my son be satisfied and attain happiness?
कुत्र चास्य निवासः स्याद्भोजनं तु किमात्मकम्। विधास्यतीह भगवान्वीर्यतुल्यं महौजसः
And where will his dwelling be, and what will his food consist of? O Lord, you will surely arrange for him a sustenance equal to his great energy.
ब्रह्मोवाच। बडवामुखे च वसतिः समुद्रे वै भविष्यति। ममयोनिर्जलं विप्र तच्चामेयं व्रजत्वयं
Brahma said: In the mouth of the submarine fire, there will be a dwelling in the ocean. O sage, my origin is water; let this immeasurable water go forth with you.
तत्राऽयमास्ते नियतं पिबन्वारिमयं हविः। तद्वारिविस्तरं विप्र विसृजाम्यालयं च तम्
There, he remains constantly, drinking water as his offering. Therefore, O sage, I release this expanse of water and its abode.
ततो युगांते भूतानामेष चाहं च पुत्रक। सहितो विचरिष्यावो निष्पुराणकराविह
Then, at the end of the age, O son, both I and this being will wander together here, making the world devoid of old things.
एषोग्निरंतकाले तु सलिलाशी मया कृतः। दहनः सर्वभूतानां सदेवासुररक्षसाम्
This fire, at the time of destruction, is made by me to consume water; it will burn all beings, including gods, asuras, and rakshasas.
एवमस्त्विति तं सोग्निः संवृतज्वालमंडलः। प्रविवेशार्णवमुखं नत्वोर्वं पितरं प्रभुम्
So be it—thus that fire, its circle of flames concealed, entered the mouth of the ocean, bowing to its father, the lord.
प्रतियातस्ततो ब्रह्मा ते च सर्वे महर्षयः। और्वस्याग्नेः प्रभावज्ञाः स्वांस्वां गतिमुपागताः
Then Brahma departed, and all those great sages, knowing the power of Aurva's fire, each went to their own destination.
हिरण्यकशिपुर्दृष्ट्वा तदा तन्महदद्भुतम्। उर्वं प्रणतसर्वांगो वाक्यमेतदुवाच ह
Hiranyakashipu, seeing that great and wondrous event, bowed with his whole body to Aurva and spoke these words.
भगवन्नद्भुतमिदं संवृत्तं लोकसाक्षिकम्। तपसा ते मुनिश्रेष्ठ परितुष्टः पितामहः
O revered one, this marvelous thing has occurred before the world as witness. Through your austerity, O best of sages, the grandsire is pleased.
अहं तु तव पुत्रस्य तव चैव महाव्रत। भृत्य इत्यवगंतव्यः श्लाघ्यस्त्वमिह कर्मणा
I must be understood as the servant of your son and of you, O great vow-holder; you are praiseworthy here for your deed.
तन्मां पश्य समापन्नं तवैवाराधने रतम्। यदि सीदेन्मुनिश्रेष्ठ तवै वस्यात्पराजयः
Therefore, see me as devoted to your worship, absorbed in it; if I falter, O best of sages, let defeat be yours.
उर्व उवाच। धन्योस्म्यनुगृहीतोस्मि यस्य तेऽहं गुरुर्मतः। नास्ति ते तपसानेन भयं चैवेह सुव्रत
Aurva said: I am blessed and favored, since you regard me as your teacher. There is no fear for you here, O virtuous one, because of this austerity.
तामेव मायां गृह्णीष्व मम पुत्रेण निर्मिताम्। निरिंधिनामग्निमयीं दुःस्पर्शां पावकैरपि
Take this very power, created by my son, difficult to touch even for flames, made of fire and destructive.
एषा ते स्वस्य वंशस्य वशगारि विनिग्रहे। रक्षिष्यत्यात्मपक्षं च विपक्षं च प्रधक्ष्यति
This will be subject to your lineage, for restraint; it will protect your own side and destroy the enemy side.
वरुण उवाच। एषा दुर्विषहा माया देवैरपि दुरासदा। और्वेण निर्मिता पूर्वं पावकेनोर्वसूनुना
Varuna said: This power is hard to withstand, difficult even for the gods to approach; it was formerly created by Aurva, son of Urva, with fire.
तस्मिंस्तु व्यथिते दैत्ये निर्वीर्यैषा न संशयः। शापो ह्यस्याः पुरा दत्तः सृष्टा येनैव तेजसा
When that demon is afflicted, this power will be weakened, no doubt; a curse was previously given to it, created by the same energy.
यद्येषा प्रतिहंतव्या कर्तव्यो भगवान्सुखी। दीयतां मे सखो शक्र तोययोनिर्निशाकरः
If this must be counteracted, let the blessed one be made happy; grant me, O friend, Indra, the water-origin and the moon.
तेनाहं सहसं गम्य यादोभिश्च समावृतः। मायामेतां हनिष्यामि त्वत्प्रसादान्न संशयः
With that, I will swiftly go, surrounded by the Yadavas; I will destroy this power by your favor, without doubt.
एवमस्त्वितिसंहृष्टः शक्रस्त्रिदशवर्धनः। संदिदेशाग्रतः सोमं युद्धाय शिशिरायुधम्
So be it—thus, delighted, Indra, increaser of the gods, ordered Soma, the cold-armed one, to the front for battle.
गच्छ सोम सहायन्त्वं कुरु पाशधरस्य वै। असुराणां विनाशाय जयार्थं त्रिदिवौकसाम्
Go, Soma, and become the ally of the noose-bearer; for the destruction of the asuras and the victory of the dwellers of heaven.
त्वं मतः प्रतिवीर्यश्च ज्योतिषामपि चेश्वरः। त्वन्मयान्सर्वलोकेषु रसान्वेदविदो विदुः
You are regarded as equal in strength and as the lord even of the luminaries; those who know the Vedas understand that all essences in the worlds are pervaded by you.
त्वया समो न लोकेस्मिन्विद्यते शिशिरायुधः। क्षयवृद्धीतवाव्यक्तेसागरेचैवचांबरे
There is no one in this world equal to you, O wielder of cool rays, in the waxing and waning of the unmanifest, in the ocean, and in the sky.
प्रवर्तयस्यहोरात्रात्कालं संमोहयन्जगत्। लोकच्छायामयं लक्ष्म तवांकः शशविग्रहः
You set in motion time through day and night, bewildering the world; your mark is the moon-form on your body, made of the shadow of the worlds.
न विदुः सोम ते मायां ये च नक्षत्रयोनयः। त्वमादित्यपथादूर्ध्वं ज्योतिषां चोपरिस्थितः
Those who are the progenitors of the stars do not know your illusion, Soma; you are above the path of the sun and situated above the luminaries.
तमः प्रोत्सार्य सहसा भासयस्यखिलं जगत्। शीतभानुर्हिमतनुर्ज्योतिषामधिपः शशी
Driving away darkness suddenly, you illuminate the whole world; you are the cool-rayed one, of icy body, the lord of the luminaries, the moon.
