तस्माद्युद्धेन मरणं न कांक्षे क्षणभंगुरम् दातुमर्हसि मे नाथ कैवल्यं केवलं परम्॥ १४.
Therefore, I do not desire death in battle, which is fleeting; O Lord, you should grant me only the supreme liberation.
तथेति दैत्यप्रवरो निपातितः परेण पुंसा परमार्थदेन १४.
‘So be it,’ said the foremost of the daityas, and was struck down by the Supreme Person, the giver of the highest truth.
कालनेमिर्हतो दैत्यो देवा जाता ह्यकटकाः १४.
The daitya Kālanemi was slain, and the gods became free from fear.
तिरोधानं गतः सद्यो भगवान्कमलेक्षणः १४.
The Lord, lotus-eyed, at once became invisible.
पतितानां क्लीबरूपाणां भग्नानां भीतचेतसाम् १४.
Those who had fallen, those rendered impotent, those broken and terrified in heart—
अर्थशास्त्रपरो भूत्वा महेंद्रो दुरातिक्रमः १४.
Indra, insurmountable, became devoted to the science of polity.
एवं निहन्य्मानानामसुराणां शचीपतेः १४.
Thus, as the asuras were being destroyed by the lord of Śacī—
युद्धहताश्च ये वीरा ह्यसुरा रणमण्डले १४.
And those heroic asuras who were slain in the field of battle—
ये भीतांश्च प्रपन्नांश्चघातयंति मदोद्धताः १४.
Those who, filled with arrogance, kill the fearful and those who have surrendered—
तस्मात्त्वया न कर्त्तव्यं मनसापि विहिंसनम् १४.
Therefore, you must not commit violence, not even in thought.
सुरसेनान्वितः सद्य आगतो हि त्रिविष्टपम् बभूवुर्मुदिताः सर्वे यक्षगंधर्वकिंनराः॥ १४.
Accompanied by the army of the gods, he at once reached heaven; all the yakṣas, gandharvas, and kinnaras rejoiced.
तदा इंद्रोऽमरावत्यां हस शच्याऽभिषेचितः॥ १४.
Then Indra was anointed in Amarāvatī by Śacī, with joy.
देवर्षिप्रमुखैश्चैव ब्रह्मर्षिप्रमुखैस्तथा १४.
And likewise, by the foremost of the divine sages and by the foremost of the Brahmanical sages,
तदा महोत्सवो विप्रा देवलोके महानभूत् तथानकाश्च भेर्यश्च नेदुर्दुंदुभयः समम्॥ १४.
Then, O Brahmins, there arose a great festival in the realm of the gods; likewise, trumpets and drums resounded together.
गायकाश्चैव गंधर्वाः किन्नराश्चाप्सपोगणाः १४.
And the singers, Gandharvas, Kinnaras, and hosts of Apsaras,
एवं विजयमापन्नः शक्रो देवेस्वरस्तदा १४.
Thus, at that time, Śakra, the lord of the gods, attained victory.
गतासवो महात्मानो बलिप्रमुखतो ह्यमी १४.
These great-souled ones, headed by Bali, have departed from life.
गतः शिष्यैः परिवृतस्तस्माद्युद्धं न वेद तत् १४.
He went, surrounded by his disciples, and thus does not know of that battle.
कथितं वै महद्धृत्तमसुराणां क्षयावहम् १४.
Thus has been told the great and steadfast destruction of the Asuras.
शिष्यैः परिवृतो भूत्वा मृतांस्तानसुरानपि १४.
Having been surrounded by his disciples, he even revived those dead Asuras.
निद्रापायगता यद्वदुत्थितास्ते तदाऽसुराः १४.
Just as those who have gone into sleep rise again, so did those Asuras then arise.
जीवितेन किमद्यैव मम नास्ति प्रयोजनम् १४.
What use is life to me now, today I have no purpose for it.
बलिनोक्तं वचः श्रुत्वा शुक्रो वचनमब्रवीत् १४.
Hearing these words spoken by Bali, Śukra then spoke these words:
ये शस्त्रेण हताः सद्यो म्रियमाणा व्रजंति वै १४.
Those who are slain at once by weapons, as they are dying, indeed go
एवमाश्वासयामास बलिनं भृगुनंदनः १४.
Thus did the descendant of Bhṛgu comfort Bali.
तथा दैत्य गताः सर्वे भृगुणा च प्रचोदिताः १४.
Likewise, all the Daityas, urged on by Bhṛgu, departed.
राज्यं प्राप्तो हि देवेंद्रः कथितस्ते गुरुं विना १५.
Indra indeed attained the kingdom, as has been told to you, without a guru.
केन प्रणोदितश्चेंद्रो बभूव चिरमासने १५.
By whom was Indra inspired to remain long upon the throne?
गुरुणापि विना राज्यं कृतवान्स शचीपतिः १५.
Even without a guru, the lord of Śacī maintained the kingdom.
विश्वकर्मसुतो विप्रा विश्वरूपो महानृपः १५.
O Brahmins, Viśvarūpa, the son of Viśvakarman, was a great king.
