त्वदंगसंगसंस्पर्शसुखस्वादातिमेदुरः
Intense is my longing for the joy and sweetness of union and contact with your body.
मनोरथाश्चिरं यावद्ये मे हृदि समेधिताः
For a long time, these desires have grown strong in my heart.
जित्वा देवान्रणे सर्वानिंद्रादीन्मृगलो चने
Having conquered all the gods in battle, including Indra and the rest, like a lion among beasts.
आधायांके त्रिशूलं च सुष्वापेति प्रलप्य सः
Placing the trident on his lap, he muttered as he fell asleep.
वरं स्मरंती सा गौर्या विद्याधरकुमारिका आहूय तं नरवरं वरं सर्वांगसुंदरम्
Remembering her boon, that Vidyādhara maiden, devoted to Gaurī, summoned that excellent man, beautiful in every limb.
विष्णुभक्तिकृतत्राणं प्राणनाथेति जल्प्य च
Murmuring, 'Protector through devotion to Viṣṇu, lord of my life.'
तमादाय त्रिशूलं च स तदामित्रजिन्नृपः 5.2.46.
Then that king, destroyer of enemies, took up his trident.
जगादोत्तिष्ठ रे दुष्ट कन्यादूषणलालस
He said, 'Rise, you wicked one, eager to defile maidens!'
इति संश्रुत्य संप्राप्तः कस्य दृष्टोद्य चांतकः
Hearing this, he approached, wondering for whom death had now appeared.
मम प्रचंडदोर्दंडकंडूकंडूयनक्षमः
He is fit to scratch the itch of my fierce, rod-like arm.
मा भैर्मे कौतुकं पश्य भक्षोयं मम सांप्रतम्
Do not be afraid; watch the spectacle—he is about to be devoured by me.
इत्युक्त्वा मुष्टिघातेन तेनोच्चैर्दंडसूनुना
Having spoken thus, the son of Daṇḍa struck him forcefully with his fist.
स चक्रिणा कृतत्राणः पीडां नाल्पीयसीमपि
Protected by the wielder of the discus, he did not feel even the slightest pain.
अथ कोपवता राज्ञा हतो वक्त्रे चपेटया उवाच च वचो धैर्यमवष्टभ्य महाबली
Then, struck on the face by the angry king, the mighty one steadied himself and spoke these words with courage:
ततस्त्वं छिद्रमासाद्य हंतुं मां दानवांतक
So, finding a weakness, you seek to kill me, O destroyer of Dānavas.
एवंविधो हि मधुभिद्यदि त्वं बलवानसि
If you are truly strong, O slayer of Madhu, then act accordingly.
त्वया कपटरूपेण बलिना कैटभादयः 5.2.46.
By you, in a deceptive form, the mighty Kaiṭabha and others were slain.
पश्यतोऽस्य महाबाहोः स च प्राणाञ्जहौ क्षणात् 5.2.46.
As the great-armed one watched, he took his life in an instant.
सापि विद्याधर्यवंतीं समृद्धां वीक्ष्य दूरतः 5.2.46.
She, seeing from afar the prosperous Vidyādhara maiden,
तस्योपरि शुभं पद्मं रविरश्मिप्रकाशितम् विधिं संपूजयेद्भक्त्या रक्तमाल्यांबरादिभिः ।। 5.2.46.
Above her, a beautiful lotus shone with the rays of the sun; one should worship the Creator there with devotion, using red garlands, garments, and the like.
जातमात्रो व्रजेत्स्वर्गं पुनरायाति चात्र वै विनैव स्तन्यपानेन षोडशाब्दाकृतिः क्षणात ।। 5.2.46.
A newborn immediately goes to heaven and returns here again, assuming in a moment the form of a sixteen-year-old, without even drinking mother's milk.
निन्युर्गगनमार्गेण ब्राह्म्याद्या यत्र मातरः 5.2.46.
The Mothers, beginning with Brāhmī, carried him away through the path of the sky.
आविर्बभूव पुरतो लिंगरूपेण शंकरः 5.2.46.
Śaṃkara appeared before them in the form of a liṅga.
एष ते कथितो देवि प्रभावः पापनाशनः 5.2.46.
O goddess, thus I have told you this glory, destroyer of sin.
यस्य दर्शनमात्रेण प्राप्यंते सर्वसिद्धयः
By merely seeing him, all attainments are obtained.
पुरा राथन्तरे कल्पे नूपुरोनाम वै गणः
In the ancient Rāthantara cycle, there was indeed a group called Nūpura.
स एकदा कुबेरस्य सभायां प्राप्य संस्थितः
Once, that group stood in the assembly of Kubera.
ननृतुश्चापरास्तत्र ह्युर्वशी योषितां वरा
There, the foremost among women, Urvaśī, danced with others.
तासां नृत्यं तदा वीक्ष्य नूपुरो गणपस्तदा
At that time, observing their dance, Nūpura, the leader of the group,
नृत्यमानस्ततो हृष्टः पुष्पगु च्छेन वक्षसि
became delighted while dancing, and struck her chest with a garland of flowers.
