शच्यै देव्यै ददुः प्रीत्या सहस्राक्षेण चोदिताः । प्रगृह्य तानि पुष्पाणि शचीदेवी सुमध्यमा
Prompted by Indra, those attendants lovingly gave the flowers to the goddess Shaci; Shaci, graceful in form, took them.
नीलनिर्मलकेशे च बबंध स्वस्य मूर्धनि । अवमान्य शची तत्र सत्यभामां यशस्विनीम्
With her pure, dark hair, she bound them upon her own head; there, Shaci disregarded the illustrious Satyabhama.
अनर्हा मानुषी चेयं देवार्हं कुसुमं शुभम् । इति कृत्वा मतिं तस्यै न ददौ कुसुमानि सा
Thinking, 'This woman is unworthy, merely human; this auspicious flower is fit for the gods,' she did not give the flowers to her.
विनिष्क्रम्य पुरात्तस्मात्सत्या कोपसमन्विता । समेत्य कृष्णं भर्त्तारमुवाच कमलेक्षणा
Leaving the palace, Satyabhama, filled with anger, approached her husband Krishna and spoke, her eyes like lotuses.
सत्योवाच- एषा शची यदुश्रेष्ठ पारिजातेन गर्विता । अदत्त्वा मम गोविंद बबंध स्वस्य मूर्द्धनि
Satyabhama said: 'This Shaci, O foremost of the Yadus, is proud of the Parijata; not giving it to me, Govinda, she bound it upon her own head.'
महादेव उवाच-। सत्यया भाषितं श्रुत्वा वासुदेवो महाबलः । उत्पाट्य पारिजातं तु निवेश्य गरुडोपरि
Mahadeva said: Hearing Satyabhama's words, Vasudeva, mighty in strength, uprooted the Parijata and placed it upon Garuda.
आरुह्य सत्यया तूर्णं वैनतेयं महाबलम् । प्रययौ द्वारकां रम्यां नगरीं देवकीसुतः
Mounting swiftly with Satyabhama upon the powerful Garuda, the son of Devaki went to the beautiful city of Dvaraka.
ततः कोपसमाविष्टो देवराजः शतक्रतुः । रुद्रैर्वसुभिरादित्यैः साध्यैश्च मरुतां गणैः
Then, filled with wrath, Indra, king of the gods, with Rudras, Vasus, Adityas, Sadhyas, and hosts of Maruts,
ऐरावतं समारुह्य ययौ युद्धाय केशवम् । ततो देवगणाः सर्वे परिवार्य्य जनार्दनम्
Mounted Airavata and went to battle with Kesava; then all the hosts of gods surrounded Janardana.
ववृषुः शस्त्रवर्षाणि मेघा इव महाचलम् । कृष्णश्चिच्छेद चक्रेण तान्यस्त्राणि दिवौकसाम्
They rained down showers of weapons like clouds upon a great mountain; Krishna cut down those weapons of the gods with his discus.
वैनतयस्तु संक्रुद्धः पक्षपातेन वीर्यवान् । पातयामास तान्देवान्पलालानीव मारुतः
Garuda, enraged and powerful, with partiality, struck down those gods like the wind scatters blades of grass.
ततः क्रुद्धः सहस्राक्षो देवानामीश्वरः प्रभुः । मुमोच सहसा दीप्तं वज्रं कृष्णजिघांसया
Then, furious, Indra, lord and master of the gods, suddenly hurled his blazing thunderbolt, intending to slay Krishna.
जग्राह कृष्णस्तं वज्रं हस्तेनैकेन लीलया । ततो भीतः सहस्राक्षो नागेंद्रादवरुह्य सः
Krishna caught that thunderbolt with one hand, effortlessly; then Indra, frightened, descended from the lord of serpents.
प्रांजलिः पुरतः स्थित्वा नमस्कृत्वा जनार्दनम् । प्राह गद्गदया वाचा स्तुत्वा स्तुतिभिरेव च १०० 6.249.
Standing before Janardana with joined palms, bowing, he spoke with faltering voice, praising him with hymns.
इंद्र उवाच- देवयोग्यमिदं कृष्ण पारिजातं त्वया पुरा । दत्तो मम सुराणां च कथं स्थास्यति मानुषे
Indra said: O Krishna, this Parijata is fit for the gods; you once gave it to me and to the gods. How, then, can it remain among humans?
महादेव उवाच- ततः प्रोवाच भगवान्सहस्राक्षमुपस्थितम् । शच्यावमानिता सत्या तव गेहे सुरेश्वर
Mahadeva said: Then the Blessed Lord spoke to the thousand-eyed one who had come: Satyabhama, your wife, was slighted by Shachi in your house, O Lord of the gods.
अदत्त्वा पारिजातानि सत्यायै सा पुलोमजा । स्वयमेव स्वशिरसि धारयामास ते प्रिया
Without giving the Parijata flowers to Satyabhama, Shachi, daughter of Puloma, herself wore them on her own head—your beloved.
अस्या निमित्तं देवेंद्र पारिजातो हृतो मया । अस्यै प्रतिश्रुतं दातुं मया सुरगणेश्वर
For this reason, O Indra, I have taken the Parijata; I have promised to give it to her, O Lord of the hosts of gods.
तव गेहे पारिजातं स्थापयामीति वासव । तस्मादद्य न दातव्यः पारिजातः सुरेश्वर
O Vasava, I will place the Parijata in your house; therefore, today the Parijata should not be given, O Lord of the gods.
देवतानां हितार्थाय प्रापयिष्यामि भूतले । तावत्तिष्ठतु देवेंद्र पारिजातो ममालये
For the welfare of the gods, I will send it to the earth; until then, O Indra, let the Parijata remain in my abode.
मयि स्वर्गं गते शक्र गृहाण त्वं यथेच्छया । महादेव उवाच- एवमुक्त्वा यदुश्रेष्ठस्तस्मै वज्रं ददौ स्वयम्
When I go to heaven, O Shakra, you may take it as you wish. Mahadeva said: Having spoken thus, the best of the Yadus himself gave the thunderbolt to him.
एवमस्त्विति गोविंदं नमस्कृत्य स वज्रभृत् । प्रययौ स्वपुरं दिव्यं सह देवगणैर्वृतः
Saying, 'So be it,' and bowing to Govinda, the wielder of the thunderbolt departed for his own divine city, surrounded by the hosts of gods.
कृष्णोऽपि सत्यया देव्या गरुडोपरि संस्थितः । संस्तूयमानो मुनिभिर्द्वारवत्यां विवेश ह
Krishna, too, together with Queen Satyabhama, seated upon Garuda and praised by sages, entered Dvaraka.
सत्यया निकटे स्थाप्य पारिजातं सुरद्रुमम् । रमयामास भार्याभिः सर्वाभिः सर्वगो हरिः
Placing the Parijata, the divine tree, near Satyabhama, Hari, who is all-pervading, delighted all his wives.
निशासु तासां सर्वासां गृहेषु मधुसूदनः । विश्वरूपधरः श्रीमानुवास स सुखप्रदः
During the nights, Madhusudana, glorious and assuming all forms, dwelled in the houses of all his wives, bringing them happiness.
इति श्रीपाद्मे महापुराणे पंचपंचाशत्साहस्र्यां संहितायामुत्तरखंडे । उमामहेश्वरसंवादे श्रीकृष्णचरिते श्रीवासुदेवविवाहकथनं नामैकोनपंचाशदधिकद्विशततमोऽध्यायः
Thus, in the glorious Padma Mahapurana, in the Uttarakanda of the compilation of fifty-five thousand verses, in the dialogue of Uma and Maheshvara, in the story of Krishna, this is the two hundred and fifty-first chapter named 'The Account of the Marriage of Shri Vasudeva.'
श्रीरुद्र उवाच- अथ पौंड्रक वासुदेवः काशिराजो वाराणस्यां विविक्ते द्वादशवर्षं महेशमर्च्चयन्निराहारः पंचाक्षरं जजाप
Shri Rudra said: Then Paundraka Vasudeva, the king of Kashi, worshipped Mahesha in seclusion at Varanasi for twelve years, fasting and reciting the five-syllable mantra.
पौरश्चरणकाले शंकरं स्वनेत्रकमलेन पूजयामास
During the period of his austerity, he worshipped Shankara with a lotus from his own eye.
ततः शूलपाणिरुमापतिः प्रसन्नो वरं वृणीष्वेति तमाह
Then Shulapani, the Lord of Uma, being pleased, said to him, 'Choose a boon.'
असौ पंचवक्त्रंसर्वभूतपतिं शिवं प्रसन्नं वरद मम वासुदेवसमानरूपं प्रयच्छेत्युवाच
He said, 'Grant me, O gracious Shiva, Lord of all beings, five-faced one, a form equal to Vasudeva.'
