इति श्रीपाद्मेमहापुराणे पंचपंचाशत्साहस्र्यां संहितायामुत्तरखंडे उमामहेश्वरसंवादे वामनप्रादुर्भावोनाम चत्वारिंशदधिकद्विशततमोऽध्यायः
Thus ends the two hundred and fortieth chapter, called 'The Manifestation of Vāmana,' in the dialogue between Umā and Maheśvara, in the Uttarakhaṇḍa of the glorious Padma Mahāpurāṇa, comprising fifty-five thousand verses.
रुद्र उवाच- हत्वाथ यवनं तत्र मुचुकुंदेन धीमता । दत्त्वा तस्मै वरं मुक्तिं निष्क्रांतो यदुनंदनः
Rudra said: Then, after the wise Mucukunda killed the Yavana there, having granted him the boon of liberation, the descendant of Yadu departed.
हतं च यवनं श्रुत्वा जरासंधः सुदुर्मतिः । ययुधे रामकृष्णाभ्यां स्वबलेन समावृतः
Hearing that the Yavana had been slain, Jarasandha, of wicked intent, engaged in battle with Rama and Krishna, surrounded by his own forces.
कृष्णेन निहतं सैन्यं सर्वं तस्य दुरात्मनः । स पपात महीपृष्ठे मूर्च्छितो मगधाधिपः
By Krishna, the entire army of that evil-minded one was destroyed; the king of Magadha fell unconscious upon the earth.
चिरेण लब्ध्वा संज्ञां तु विह्वलांगो भयातुरः । न शशाक रणे योद्धुं रामेण मगधेश्वरः
After a long time regaining consciousness, his limbs trembling and filled with fear, the lord of Magadha was unable to fight Rama in battle.
विमुखः प्राद्रवत्तूर्णं हतशेषबलानुगः । अजेयाविति तौ मत्वा रामकृष्णौ महाबलौ
Turning away, he fled swiftly, followed by the remnants of his defeated troops, considering Rama and Krishna to be invincible and of great strength.
तयोर्विरोधं त्यक्त्वाथ नगरीं स्वां विवेश ह । अथ तौ वसुदेवस्य तनयौ सह सेनया
Abandoning conflict with them, he entered his own city; then those two sons of Vasudeva, together with their army,
मथुरां त्यज्य नगरीं प्रविष्टौ द्वारिकां पुरीम् । इंद्रेण प्रेषितो वायुः सभां तत्र दिवौकसाम्
Leaving the city of Mathura, entered the city of Dvaraka; there, Indra sent Vayu to the assembly of the gods.
कृष्णाय प्रददौ प्रीत्या निर्मितां विश्वकर्मणा । वज्रवैडूर्यरचितां बह्वासनविचित्रिताम्
Out of affection, he gave to Krishna a hall crafted by Vishvakarma, adorned with diamonds and beryl, and furnished with many seats.
नानारत्नमयैर्दिव्यैः स्वर्णच्छत्रैर्विराजिताम् । तां प्राप्य रम्यां तु सभामुग्रसेनादयो नृपाः
Radiant with divine gems of various kinds and golden canopies, upon receiving that splendid hall, Ugrasena and the other kings
मोदंते नैगमैः सार्द्धं दिवि देवगणा इव । इक्ष्वाकुवंशसंभूतो रैवतो नाम पार्थिवः
Rejoiced together with the citizens, like the hosts of gods in heaven; Raivata, a king descended from the Ikshvaku lineage,
कन्यां दुहितरं स्वस्य सर्वलक्षणसंयुताम् । रामाय प्रददौ प्रीत्या रेवती नाम नामतः
Gave his own daughter, endowed with all auspicious qualities, to Rama out of affection; her name was Revati.
उपयेमे विधानेन स रामस्तां च रेवतीम् । रमयामास च तया शच्या इव सुरेश्वरः
Rama married Revati according to proper rites, and delighted in her as Indra does in Shachi.
विदर्भराजो धर्मात्मा भीष्मको नाम धार्मिकः । बभूवुस्तस्य पुत्रास्तु रुक्मप्रभृतयः शुभाः
The righteous king Bhishmaka, ruler of Vidarbha, was devoted to dharma; his sons, including Rukma, were auspicious.
तेषामवरजा कन्या रुक्मिणी वरवर्णिनी । कमलांशेन संभूता सर्वलक्षणसंयुता
Among them, the youngest daughter was Rukmini, of excellent complexion, born from a portion of Lakshmi and possessing all auspicious qualities.
राघवत्वेभवत्सीता रुक्मिणी कृष्णजन्मनि । अन्येष्वेवावतारेषु विष्णोरेषा सहायिनी
In the incarnation as Rama, she was Sita; in Krishna's birth, she was Rukmini; in other descents of Vishnu, she is his companion.
हिरण्यक हिरण्याक्षौ संभूतौ द्वापरे पुनः । शिशुपालो दंतवक्त्र इति नाम समन्वितौ
Hiranyaksha and Hiranyakashipu were born again in Dvapara, named Shishupala and Dantavakra.
चैद्यान्वये समुद्भूतौ महाबलपराक्रमौ । रुक्मिणी शिशुपालाय दातुमैच्छत्तदात्मजः
Born in the Chedi lineage, mighty and valiant, Rukmini's father wished to give her to Shishupala.
तं नेच्छती पतिं सा तु शिशुपालं शुभानना । बाल्यात्प्रभृति वै विष्णुमनुरक्ता दृढव्रता
But she, with a beautiful face, did not desire Shishupala as her husband; from childhood, steadfast in her vow, she was devoted to Vishnu.
उद्दिश्य कृष्णं भर्त्तारं सुराणामर्चनं सदा । चकार रुक्मिणी कन्या दानानि विविधानि च
Always worshipping the gods, the maiden Rukmini performed various acts of charity, intending Krishna as her husband.
व्रतचर्यापराभूत्वा ध्यायंती पुरुषोत्तमम् । आत्मेशं स्वस्य भर्तारमुवास पितृमंदिरे
Devoted to the observance of vows and meditating on the Supreme Person, she dwelt in her father's house, considering the lord of her soul as her husband.
कर्त्तुं तां शिशुपालाय विवाहं पार्थिवोत्तमः । चकार यत्नं पुत्रेण रुक्मिणा सविधीमता
The foremost king, with his virtuous son Rukmi, made efforts to arrange her marriage with Shishupala.
पुरोहितसुतं विप्रं प्रेषयामास रुक्मिणी । उद्दिश्य कृष्णं भर्त्तारं स तूर्णं द्वारकां ययौ
Rukmini sent a Brahmin, the son of the family priest, to Krishna, her chosen husband; he swiftly departed for Dvaraka.
समेत्य कृष्णं रामं च ताभ्यां विधिवदर्चितः । एकांते सर्वमाचष्ट रुक्मिणीभाषितं तयोः
Having met Krishna and Rama, and being properly honored by them, he privately related all that Rukmini had spoken to the two.
तच्छ्रुत्वा रामकृष्णौ तु तेन विप्रेण धीमता । सर्वशस्त्रास्त्रसंपूर्णं रथमाकाशगं प्रभुः
Hearing this from the wise Brahmin, Rama and Krishna, the lord, filled their chariot with all weapons and missiles.
आरुह्य सूतमुख्येन दारुकेण महात्मना । विदर्भनगरीं तूर्णं जग्मतुः पुरुषोत्तमौ
Mounting the chariot with the noble charioteer Daruka, the two Supreme Persons swiftly went to the city of Vidarbha.
राजानः सर्वराष्ट्रेभ्यो विवाहं द्रष्टुमागताः । जरासंधमुखाः सर्वे शिशुपालस्य धीमतः
Kings from all realms, headed by Jarasandha, had gathered to witness the marriage of the wise Shishupala.
तस्मिन्नुद्वाहसमये रुक्मिणी रुक्मभूषणा । दुर्गां निःसृतार्चयितुं सखीभिर्नगराद्बहिः
At the time of the wedding, Rukmini, adorned with golden ornaments, went out of the city with her companions to worship Durga.
एतस्मिन्नेव काले तु संप्राप्तो देवकीसुतः । रथस्थां तां च जग्राह बलवान्मधुसूदनः
At that very moment, the son of Devaki arrived; the mighty slayer of Madhu seized her as she stood upon the chariot.
सहसा रथमारोप्य ययौ तूर्णं स्वमालयम् । ततः क्रोधसमाविष्टा जरासंधमुखा नृपाः
Suddenly placing her on the chariot, he swiftly departed for his own abode; then, the kings led by Jarasandha were seized with anger.
