तत्रापि मयि भक्तिस्ते जातातिसुदृढा पुनः । क्रियायोगेन मां नित्यं समाराध्य द्विजोत्तम
There also, your devotion to me became exceedingly firm again; through the practice of rites, you constantly worshipped me, O best of the twice-born.
आयुषोंते मत्प्रसादान्मामकं पदमाप्स्यसि । यदा तुष्टोऽस्म्यहं विप्र सपापात्मापि मुक्तिभाक्
At the end of your life, by my grace, you will attain my own abode; when I am pleased, O Brahmin, even a sinful soul attains liberation.
कदाचिद्यस्य रुष्टोस्मि पुण्यात्मापि च पापभाक् । तस्माद्ब्राह्मण भद्रं ते भक्तोऽसि मम सुव्रत
But if I am ever displeased with someone, even a virtuous soul becomes subject to sin; therefore, O Brahmin, good fortune to you, for you are devoted to me and steadfast in vows.
दास्यामि ते परं स्थानं यदलभ्यं सुरैरपि । ब्राह्मण उवाच- त्वत्प्रसादाच्छ्रुतं नाथ पूर्ववृत्तांतमात्मनः
I will give you the supreme place, which even the gods cannot attain. The Brahmin said: By your grace, O Lord, I have heard the account of my former existence.
इदानीं श्रोतुमिच्छामि यत्किञ्चिद्ब्रूहि तत्प्रभो । कस्य तुष्टोऽसि देवेन्द्र कस्य रुष्टोऽसि वा प्रभो
Now I wish to hear something further—please tell me that, O Lord. To whom, O Lord of gods, are you pleased, and with whom are you displeased?
महत्या कृपया सर्वमेतन्मे वक्तुमर्हसि । श्रीभगवानुवाच- कर्मणा येनविप्रेन्द्र तुष्टिर्मे हृदि जायते
Out of great compassion, you ought to tell me all this. The Blessed Lord said: O best of Brahmins, by what action my pleasure arises in my heart—
क्रोधश्च तत्समस्तं च कथयामि समासतः । यो दयावान्द्विजश्रेष्ठ सर्वभूतेषु सर्वदा
O best of twice-born, I shall briefly speak of anger and all related matters: one who is compassionate at all times toward all beings—
अहंकारविहीनश्च तस्य तुष्टोऽस्म्यहं सदा । कर्म कुर्यान्मदर्थं यो धर्मभक्तिसमन्वितः
and who is free from pride—toward such a one I am always pleased; one who performs actions for my sake, endowed with devotion to righteousness—
ब्रूते मदर्थं यः शांतं तस्य तुष्टोऽस्म्यहं सदा । मिष्टं वस्तु समासाद्य दत्वा मे यश्च मानवः
and who speaks peacefully for my sake—toward such a one I am always pleased; and any person who, having obtained a desirable object, offers it to me—
मानापमाने सदृशस्तस्य तुष्टोऽस्म्यहं सदा । सर्वभूतशरीरस्थं यो मां जानाति मानवः
and who remains the same in honor and dishonor—toward such a one I am always pleased; and any person who knows me as abiding in the bodies of all beings—
परहिंसाविहीनो यस्तस्य तुष्टोऽस्म्यहं सदा । कर्माणि कुरुते यस्तु सुविचार्य पुनः पुनः
and who is free from harming others—toward such a one I am always pleased; and one who carefully considers again and again before acting—
गोब्राह्मणहितैषी यस्तस्य तुष्टोऽस्म्यहं सदा । स्वयं निरुक्तं वचनं यत्नाद्यः परिपालयेत्
and who seeks the welfare of cows and Brahmins—toward such a one I am always pleased; and one who diligently upholds the words spoken by himself—
प्रपन्नं याति यत्नाद्यस्तस्य तुष्टोऽस्म्यहं सदा । ददात्यनुपकारिभ्यो दानानि द्विजसत्तम
and who earnestly approaches those who have sought refuge—toward such a one I am always pleased; and who gives gifts to those who cannot repay, O best of Brahmins—
मयि चित्तं सदा यस्य तस्य तुष्टोऽस्म्यहं सदा । कर्मणा येनतुष्टोऽस्मि निरुक्तं तत्समासतः
and whose mind is always fixed on me—toward such a one I am always pleased; thus, in brief, is the action by which I am pleased.
रुष्टोऽस्मि कर्मणा येन विप्र वच्मि शृणुष्वतम् । परहिंसारतो यस्तु निर्द्दयः सर्वजंतुषु
Now, O Brahmin, hear from me the action by which I am angered: one who delights in harming others, who is merciless toward all creatures—
अहंयुः सर्वदा क्रुद्धः समां नयति शत्रुताम् । असत्यभाषीक्रूरश्च परनिंदापरस्तु यः
I am always angry with such a one and treat him as an enemy; one who speaks falsely, is cruel, and slanders others—
कविवर्तनविध्वंसी समां नयति शत्रुताम् । अदृष्टदोषौ पितरौ स्त्रीभ्रातृभगिनी तथा
one who destroys the works of poets—I treat him as an enemy; and one who, without reason, abandons his parents, wife, brother, or sister—
मोहात्त्यजति यो मूढः समां नयति शत्रुताम् । पितृभिर्भर्त्सनं यस्तु कुरुते मूढधीर्नरः
the fool who, out of delusion, abandons them—I treat him as an enemy; and the foolish man who rebukes his parents—
गुर्ववज्ञाकरो विप्र समां नयति शत्रुताम् । आरामच्छेदिनो ये च जलाशयविलायिनः
and who shows disrespect to his teacher, O Brahmin—I treat him as an enemy; those who cut down groves or destroy reservoirs—
ग्रामनाशकरायेचतेमांनयंतिशत्रुताम् । परस्त्रियं समालोक्य विषादं यान्ति ये जनाः १०० 7.19.
and those who destroy villages—I treat them as enemies; and those who, upon seeing another's wife, fall into despair—
शृण्वंति पापचर्चां च तेषां रुष्टोस्म्यहं सदा । द्विषंति नाथं ये मूढा अनाथस्वं हरंति ये
and those who listen to discussions of sin—toward them I am always angry; fools who hate their protector, or who seize the property of the helpless—
विश्वासघातिनो ये च तेषां रुष्टोऽस्म्यहं सदा । ये च गोवीर्यहंतारो वृषलीपतयश्च ये
and those who betray trust—toward them I am always angry; those who kill cows for their strength, and those who are husbands of outcast women—
अश्वत्थघातिनो ये च तेषां रुष्टोऽस्म्यहं सदा । ब्रह्मविष्णुमहेशानां मध्ये ये भेदकारिणः
and those who cut down sacred fig trees—toward them I am always angry; and those who create division among Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva—
परदारातिरक्ता ये तेषां रुष्टोऽस्म्यहं सदा । एकादश्यां भुंजते ये लोभात्पापधियो नराः
and those who are excessively attached to another's wife—toward them I am always angry; and those sinful men who, out of greed, eat on the eleventh day (Ekadashi)—
वेदनिंदाकरा ये च तेषांरुष्टोऽस्म्यहं सदा । पापबुद्धिरता ये च मित्रद्रोहरतास्तथा
I am always angry with those who revile the Vedas, those who are devoted to wicked thoughts, and those who are inclined to betray friends.
धात्रीतरुं च ये घ्नंति तेषां रुष्टोऽस्म्यहं सदा । दिवसे मैथुनं ये च कुर्वंते काममोहिताः
I am always angry with those who cut down the dhatri tree, and with those who, overcome by desire, engage in intercourse during the day.
रजस्वला स्त्रियां चैव तेषां रुष्टोऽस्म्यहं सदा । ये चादृष्टार्तवां नारीं मोहाद्गच्छंति सत्तम
I am always angry with those who approach a menstruating woman, and with those who, out of delusion, go to a woman whose period has not been seen, O noble one.
व्रतस्थां च सदा जाल्मास्ते मां नयंति शत्रुताम् । अमावास्यातिथौ ये च कुर्वंते निशिभोजनम्
Those who, being wicked, disturb someone engaged in a vow, bring enmity with me; and those who eat at night on the new moon or guest days.
भोजनद्वयमेवार्के तेषां रुष्टोऽस्म्यहं सदा । आमिषं मैथुनं तैलममावास्यादिने द्विजाः
I am always angry with those who eat two meals on a Sunday; and, O twice-born, those who do not abstain from meat, intercourse, or oil on the new moon day.
न ये त्यजंति विप्रेन्द्र तेषां रुष्टोऽस्म्यहं सदा । बहुनात्र किमुक्तेन संक्षेपात्ते वदाम्यहम्
O best of Brahmins, I am always angry with those who do not give up these things; what more need be said? I will tell you briefly.
