पांडुरं गजमारूढां स्तूयमानां महर्षिभिः ११.
Mounted on a pale elephant, she was praised by great sages.
कराग्रे ध्रियमाणां तां दृष्ट्वा देवाः समुत्सुकाः ११.
Seeing her holding the elephant goad in her hand, the gods became eager.
देवांश्च दानवांश्चैव सिद्धचारणपन्नगान् ११.
The gods, the demons, as well as the Siddhas, Charanas, and Nagas,
आलोकितास्तथा देवास्तया लक्ष्म्या श्रियान्विताः दैत्यास्ते निःश्रिका जाता ये श्रियाऽनवलोकिताः॥ ११.
were all gazed upon by that Lakshmi, endowed with splendor; those whom she did not look upon became deprived of prosperity.
निरीक्ष्यमाणा च तदा मुकुन्दं तमालनीलं सुकपोलनासम् ११.
Then, as she looked upon Mukunda, dark as a tamala tree, with beautiful cheeks and nose,
दृष्ट्वा तदैव सहसा वनमालयान्विता लक्ष्मीर्गजादवततार सुविस्मयंती ११.
at that very moment, seeing him adorned with a garland of forest flowers, Lakshmi, filled with wonder, descended from the elephant.
वामांगमाश्रित्य तदा महात्मनः सोपाविशत्तत्र समीक्ष्य ता उभौ ११.
Then, approaching the left side of that great soul, she sat there, as all beheld them both.
सर्वेषामेव लोकानामैकपद्येन सर्वशः ११.
Thus, in perfect unity, before all the worlds.
लक्ष्म्या वृतो महाविष्णुर्लक्ष्मीस्तेनैव संवृता ११.
Maha-Vishnu was joined by Lakshmi, and Lakshmi was embraced by him.
शंखाश्च पटहाश्चैव मृदंगानकगोमुखाः ११.
Conch shells, drums, mridangas, and gomukha instruments sounded forth.
बभूव गायकानां च गायनं सुमहत्तदा ११.
At that time, the singing of the singers became exceedingly great.
एवं वाद्यप्रभेदैश्च विष्णुं सर्वात्मना हरिम् ११.
Thus, with various kinds of instrumental music, they praised Vishnu, the all-pervading Hari.
तथा जगुर्नारदतुंबुरादयो गंधर्वयक्षाः सुरसिद्ध संघाः ११.
Likewise, Narada, Tumburu, and others, along with hosts of Gandharvas, Yakshas, gods, and Siddhas, sang.
प्रणम्य परमात्मानं रमायुक्तं जनार्द्दनम् १२.
Having bowed to the Supreme Self, Janardana, united with Rama (Lakshmi),
उदधेर्मथ्यमानाच्च निर्गतः सुमहायशाः १२.
And from the ocean as it was being churned, he of great renown emerged.
पाणिभ्यां पूर्णकलशं सुधायाः परिगृह्य वै १२.
With both hands, he firmly took hold of a full pitcher of nectar.
तदा दैत्याः समं गत्वा हर्तुकामा बलादिव १२.
Then the Daityas, coming together, sought to seize it by force.
यावत्तरंगमालाभिरावृतोऽभूद्भिषक्तमः १२.
At that moment, surrounded by waves, the foremost physician was concealed.
करस्थः कलशस्तस्य हृतस्तेन बलादिव १२.
The pitcher in his hand was snatched away from him by force.
कलशं सुधया पूर्णं गृहीत्वा ते समुत्सुकाः १२.
Having taken the pitcher filled with nectar, they became eager.
अनुजग्मुः सुसंनद्धा योद्धुकामाश्च तैः सह १२.
Well-armed and desiring battle, they pursued him together.
वयं तु केवलं देवाः सुधया परितोषिताः १२.
But we, the gods, were satisfied only with the nectar.
त्रिविष्टपं मुदा युक्तैः किमस्माभिः प्रयोजनम् अधुना विदितं तत्तु नात्र कार्या विचारणा॥ १२.
With joy, we are established in heaven—what need have we now? This is known; there is no need for further deliberation.
एवं निर्भार्त्सितास्तेन बलिना सुरसत्तमाः १२.
Thus, the best of the gods were rebuked by that powerful one.
तं दृष्ट्वा विष्णुना सर्वे सुरा भग्नमनोरथा १२.
Seeing him, all the gods became disheartened in their hopes.
मा त्रासं कुरुतात्रार्थ आनयिष्यामि तां सुधाम् १२.
Do not be afraid here for this purpose; I will bring that nectar.
स्थापयित्वा सुरान्सर्वांस्तत्रैव मधुसूदनः १२.
Having stationed all the gods right there, Madhusudana,
तावद्दैत्याः सुसंरब्धाः परस्परमथाब्रुवन् १२.
Meanwhile, the Daityas, greatly enraged, began to speak among themselves.
एवं प्रवर्तमाने तु मोहिनीरूपमाश्रिताम् १२.
As this was happening, she assumed the form of Mohinī.
विस्मयेन समाविष्टा बभूवुस्तृषितेक्षणाः १२.
Filled with wonder, their thirsty eyes gazed upon her.
