स्नातं चतुर्नदे तीर्थे पीतं तत्रांबु चासकृत्
Having bathed at the sacred ford of the four rivers, and having drunk that water repeatedly,
एताभ्यां स्थिरचित्ताभ्यां मुदिता त्वमतीव हि
By these two, whose minds were steadfast, you indeed became exceedingly joyful.
अमूभ्यां बहुशो दृष्टा मम मंगलदीपिकाः तिर्यग्योनिप्रभावेन न मृतौ मम संनिधौ
By these two, my auspicious lamps were seen many times; because of the influence of birth among lower beings, there is no death in my presence.
जंबूमार्गे मृतौ यस्मात्स्वर्गप्राप्तिकरे ध्रुवम्
Because, at the time of death on the Jambu path, it certainly brings attainment of heaven.
पतिः पारावतोऽस्याश्च जातो विद्याधरांगजः इह जन्मनि कन्यासीत्पूर्वजन्म ब्रवीमि च
Her husband, Parāvata, was born from the Vidyādhara lineage; in this birth she was a maiden, and I speak also of her previous birth.
त्रिशिखस्योरगेंद्रस्य सुता चेयं कलावती
She is Kalāvatī, daughter of Triśikha, the lord of serpents.
भवांतरे तृतीयेतः कन्ये चारायणस्य च
In another existence, she was the third maiden of Ārāyaṇa.
पित्रा चारायणेनापि ताभ्यां संप्रेरितेन वै
By her father, Ārāyaṇa, prompted by those two,
अप्राप्तयौवनोरण्ये समिदाहरणाय वै
While still not come of age, in the forest, for the purpose of gathering sacrificial wood,
भवानीगौतमीनाम्न्यौ ते तु चारायणांगजे 5.2.45.
They, named Bhavānī and Gautamī, were daughters of Ārāyaṇa.
अत एव प्रयत्नेन परिणेता विवर्जयेत
Therefore, with effort, a suitor should be avoided.
अथर्षेः कस्यचिद्दैवादाश्रमे देवसन्निभे
Then, by fate, at the hermitage of a certain sage, resembling the gods,
कृत्वा नानोपवासादिव्रतानि ब्राह्मणांगजे
Having performed various vows such as fasts, O son of a brāhmaṇa,
फलचौर्यविपाकेन वानर त्वं तयोरभूत्
As a result of the karma of stealing fruit, O monkey, you became born of those two.
स च नारायणो विप्रः पितृशुश्रूषणे रतः
And that Nārāyaṇa, the brāhmaṇa, was devoted to serving his parents.
एवं भवांतरे चासीदेतयोः पतिरेव सः
Thus, in another existence also, he was the husband of those two.
प्रासादस्यापि पार्श्वे तु न्यग्रोधश्च महानगः
Beside the palace, there was also a great banyan tree.
विष्णुदेहजले तीर्थे क्रीडया च ममज्जतुः
At the sacred ford where Viṣṇu's body became water, they both plunged in play.
जातिस्वभावचापल्यात्कीडंत्यौ च प्रदक्षिणम्
Out of their innate nature and restlessness, they playfully circle around.
विचरंत्यावितः स्वैरं तत्र न्यग्रोधसंनिधौ 5.2.45.
They wander freely in all directions near the banyan tree.
भिक्षार्थं शिक्षिते तेन न प्लुतिर्न निवर्त्तनम्
For the sake of alms, as taught by him, there is neither leaping nor turning back.
अवन्तीवासपुण्येन त्रिलोचनस्य सेवया
By the merit of residing in Avantī and by service to the Three-Eyed One,
अधुना तं पतिं प्राप्य विद्याधरकुमारकम्
Now, having attained that husband, the prince among Vidyādharas,
यैरल्पमपि चावंत्या कृतं कर्म शुभावहम् त्रैलोक्येऽपि च सर्वस्मिञ्छ्रेष्ठाऽवन्तीपुरी सदा
Even a small virtuous act performed by the people of Avantī brings auspiciousness; in all the three worlds, Avantī city is always the best.
ततोऽपि लिंगमोंकारं ततोऽप्यत्र त्रिलोचनम्
Beyond that is the liṅga with the syllable 'Om', and beyond that, here, is the Three-Eyed One.
अतः सर्वप्रयत्नेनावन्त्यां पूज्यस्त्रिलोचनः
Therefore, with every effort, the Three-Eyed One is to be worshipped in Avantī.
लिंगस्वरूपमासाद्य शुभं त्रिभुवनादपि स्वमातुः पुरतश्चोक्त्वा कृतकृत्या इवाभवन्
Having attained the auspicious form of the liṅga, even more than the three worlds, and having spoken before his mother, they became as if their purpose was fulfilled.
एकदा माधवे मासि सह सार्थाः समागताः
Once, in the month of Mādhava, the merchants gathered together.
विरजस्के महाक्षेत्रे त्रिलोचनसमीपतः
In the great, spotless field, near the Three-Eyed One,
विद्याधराय ताः कन्या नागैस्तिस्रोऽपि कल्पिताः 5.2.45.
For the Vidyādhara, those three maidens were arranged by the Nāgas.
