पत्न्यर्थं प्रतिजग्राह धर्मो दाक्षायिणीः प्रभुः। ताभ्यः शिष्टा यवीयस्य(स्प?) एकादश सुलोचनाः
The Lord Dharma accepted the daughters of Dakṣa as wives; from them were born eleven younger ones, all with beautiful eyes.
ख्यातिः सत्यथ संभूतिः स्मृतिः प्रीतिः क्षमा तथा। सन्नतिश्चानसूया च ऊर्ज्जा स्वाहा स्वधा तथा
Khyāti, Satyā, Saṃbhūti, Smṛti, Prīti, Kṣamā, Sannati, Anasūyā, Ūrjjā, Svāhā, and Svadhā as well.
भृगुर्भवो मरीचिश्च तथा चैवांगिरा मुनिः। अहं च पुलहश्चैव क्रतुर्मुनिवरस्तथा
Bhṛgu, Bhava, Marīci, and also the sage Aṅgirā; myself, Pulaha, and the eminent sage Kratu.
अत्रिर्वसिष्ठो वह्निश्च पितरश्च यथाक्रमम्। ख्यात्याद्या जगृहुः कन्या मुनयो राजसत्तम
Atri, Vasiṣṭha, Vahni, and the Pitṛs in due order; these sages, O best of kings, accepted the daughters beginning with Khyāti.
श्रद्धा कामं बलं लक्ष्मीर्नियमं धृतिरात्मजम्। संतोषं च तथा तुष्टिर्लोभं पुष्टिरसूयत
Faith, desire, strength, fortune, restraint, perseverance as a son, contentment, satisfaction, greed, and nourishment were born.
मेधा श्रुतं क्रिया दण्डं नयं विनयमवे च। बोधं बुद्धिस्तथा लज्जा विनयं वपुरात्मजम्
Intellect, learning, action, punishment, policy, humility, understanding, wisdom, modesty, discipline, and beauty as a son were born.
व्यवसायं प्रजज्ञे वै क्षेमं शान्तिरसूयत। सुखमृद्धिर्यशः कीर्तिरित्येते धर्मसूनवः
Resolution was indeed born, and security and peace were produced; happiness, prosperity, fame, and glory—these are the sons of Dharma.
कामान्नंदी सुतं हर्षं धर्मपौत्रमसूयत। हिंसा भार्यात्वधर्मस्य तस्य जज्ञे तदानृतं
Desire, delight, and joy were born as sons, and Harsha as Dharma’s grandson; violence became Adharma’s wife, and from her falsehood was born.
कन्या च निकृतिस्ताभ्यां भयं नरक एव च। माया च वेदना चैव मिथुनं द्वंद्वमेव च
A daughter, Deceit, and from them fear and hell; also illusion and pain, a pair, and duality as well.
तयोर्जज्ञेथ वै माया मृत्युं भूतापहारिणम्। वेदनायास्ततश्चापि दुःखं जज्ञेथ रौरवात्
From those two, Illusion gave birth to Death, the taker of beings; and from Pain, suffering was born, called Raurava.
मृत्योर्व्याधिजराशोक तृष्णाक्रोधाश्च जज्ञिरे। दुःखोत्तराः स्मृता ह्येते सर्वे चाधर्मलक्षणाः
From Death arose disease, old age, sorrow, thirst, and anger; all these are known as the offspring of suffering and are marks of unrighteousness.
नैषां भार्यास्ति पुत्रो वा ते सर्वे ह्यूर्द्ध्वरेतसः। रौद्राण्येतानि रूपाणि ब्रह्मणो नृवरात्मज
None of these have wife or son; all are of upward-flowing seed; these fierce forms, O best of men, are of Brahma.
नित्यं प्रलयहेतुत्वं जगतोस्य प्रयांति वै। रुद्रसर्गं प्रवक्ष्यामि यथा ब्रह्मा चकार हा(?)
They always bring about the dissolution of the world; now I will tell you of the creation of Rudra, as Brahma made it.
कल्पादावात्मनस्तुल्यं सुतं प्रध्यायतस्ततः। प्रादुरासीत्प्रभोरंके कुमारो नीललोहितः
At the beginning of the kalpa, as he contemplated a son like himself, a boy, blue and red, appeared on the lap of the Lord.
रुदन्वै सुस्वरं सोथ द्रवंश्च नृपसत्तम। किं रोदिषीति तं देवो रुदंतं प्रत्युवाच ह
He wept loudly and shed tears, O best of kings; the god, seeing him weeping, spoke to him.
नामधेहीति तं सोथ प्रत्युवाच प्रजापतिम्। रोदनाद्रुद्रनामासि मा रोदीर्धैर्यमावह
He said, 'What is your name?' and the Lord of creatures replied, 'Because you weep, you are named Rudra; do not weep, take courage.'
एवमुक्तः पुनस्सोथ सप्तकृत्वो रुरोद ह। ततोन्यानि ददौ तस्मै सप्तनामानि वै प्रभुः २०० 1.3.
Thus addressed, he wept again seven times; then the Lord gave him seven other names.
मूर्त्तीनां चैवमष्टानां स्थानान्यष्टौ चकार ह। भवं शर्वमथेशानं तथा पशुपतिं नृप
For these eight forms, he made eight abodes: Bhava, Sharva, Ishana, and Pashupati, O king,
भीममुग्रं महादेवमुवाच स पितामहः। सूर्यो जलं मही वह्निर्वायुराकाशमेव च
Bhima, Ugra, Mahadeva—the grandsire named them thus; the sun, water, earth, fire, wind, and space,
दीक्षितो ब्राह्मणः सोम इत्येते तनवः कमात्। एवं प्रकारो रुद्रोसौ सतीं भार्यामविंदत
The initiated Brahmin, Soma—these are his forms as well; thus Rudra, in this way, obtained Sati as his wife.
दक्षकोपाच्च तत्याज सा सती स्वं कलेवरम्। हिमवद्दुहिता साभून्मेनायां नृपसत्तम
Because of Daksha’s anger, Sati abandoned her own body; she became the daughter of Himavat and Mena, O best of kings.
उपयेमे पुनश्चैव याचित्वा भगवान्भवः। दाक्षी धातृविधातारौ भृगोः ख्यातिरसूयत
Having been entreated, the blessed Bhava married her again; from Daksha, Dhata and Vidhata were born, and from Bhrigu, Khyati was born.
श्रियं च देवदेवस्य पत्नी नारायणस्य या
And the goddess Śrī, who is the wife of the god of gods, Nārāyaṇa—
भीष्म उवाच। क्षीराब्धौ तु तथा लक्ष्मीः किलोत्पन्ना मया श्रुता। ख्यात्यां भृगोः समुत्पन्ना एतदाह कथं भवान्
Bhīṣma said: I have heard that Lakṣmī arose from the ocean of milk, and also that she was born as Khyāti, the daughter of Bhṛgu. How do you explain this?
कथं च दक्षदुहिता देहं त्यक्तवती शुभा। मेनायां गर्भसंभूतिमुमाया जन्म एव च
And how did the auspicious daughter of Dakṣa abandon her body? And how was Umā born from Menā's womb?
किमर्थं देवदेवेन पत्नी हैमवती कृता। विरोधं चाथ दक्षेण भगवांस्तु ब्रवीतु मे
For what reason did the god of gods take the daughter of Himavat as his wife? And what was the conflict with Dakṣa? O venerable one, please tell me.
पुलस्त्य उवाच। इदं च शृणु भूपाल यत्पृष्टोहमिह त्वया। श्रीसंबंधो मयाप्येष श्रुत आसीत्पितामहात्
Pulastya said: O king, listen now to what you have asked me here. I too have heard this account of Śrī from my grandfather.
अत्रिपुत्रस्तु दुर्वासाः परिभ्राम्यन्महीमिमाम्। विद्याधरीकरेमालां दृष्ट्वा सौगन्धिकीं शुभाम्
The son of Atri, Durvāsas, while wandering over this earth, saw a garland of fragrant flowers on a Vidyādhara maiden.
याचयामास मे देहि जटाजूटे करोम्यहम्। इति विद्याधरी तेन पृष्टा सा ऋषिणा तथा
He asked her, 'Give it to me; I will place it on my matted hair.' Thus, the Vidyādhara maiden was requested by the sage.
ददौ तस्मै मुदायुक्ता तां मालां स तदा नृप। गृहीत्वा सुचिरं कालं शिरोमालां बबंध ह
Gladly, she gave him that garland, and he, O king, after receiving it, wore the garland on his head for a long time.
