It was brought forth, mixed with the rays of jeweled white parasols.
चामरासक्तहस्ताभिर्दिव्यस्त्रीभिश्च संवृता २५.
Surrounded by divine women holding fly-whisks in their hands,
एवं तस्यां स्थितायां तु स्थिते लोकत्रये तदा २५.
Thus, as she remained there, so too did the three worlds stand still.
उत्संगतलसंगुप्तो बभूव भगवान्भवः २५.
Bhava, the blessed one, became concealed within her embrace.
अथ दृष्ट्वा शिशुं देवास्तस्य उत्संगवर्तिनः २५.
Then, seeing the child resting in her lap, the gods,
वज्रमाहारयत्तस्य बाहुमुद्यम्य वृत्रहा २५.
The slayer of Vritra raised his arm and brought forth the thunderbolt.
स्तंभितः शिशुरूपेण देवदेवेन लीलया २५.
The divine Lord, by his play, became motionless in the form of a child.
वह्निः शक्तिं तदा क्षेप्तुं न शशाक तथोत्थितः २५.
Then Agni, though arisen, was unable to hurl his power.
पाशं च वरुणो राजा ध्वजयष्टिं समीरणः २५.
Varuṇa, the king, his noose; Vāyu, his banner-staff—
नानायुधानि चादित्या मुसलं वसवस्तथा २५.
The Ādityas their various weapons, and the Vasus their pestle—
स्तंभिता देवदेवेन तथान्ये भुवनेषु ये २५.
All these were restrained by the divine Lord, as were others in the worlds.
तस्यापि दशनाः पेतुर्दृष्टमात्रस्य शंभुना २५.
Even his teeth fell out as soon as he was seen by Śambhu.
बलं तेजश्च योगांश्च सर्वेषां जगृहे प्रभुः २५.
The Lord seized the strength, brilliance, and powers of them all.
ब्रह्मा ध्यानमुपाश्रित्य बुबोध हरचेष्टितम् २५.
Brahmā, resorting to meditation, understood the act of Hara.
पौराणैः सामसंगीतैर्वेदिकैर्गुह्यनामभिः २५.
With ancient Sāman chants, Vedic hymns, and secret names—
प्रसादात्तव बुद्ध्यादिर्जगदेतत्प्रवर्तते २५.
By your grace, O Lord, intellect and the rest arise, and this whole world proceeds.
महादेवमिहायातं सर्वदेवनमस्कृतम् २५.
The great god has come here, honored by all the gods.
ततः संभ्रम संपन्नास्तुष्टुवुः प्रणताः सुराः २५.
Then the gods, filled with awe, bowed down and praised him.
दुराचारान्भवानस्मानात्मद्रोहपरायणान् २५.
You, Lord, are for us who are of evil conduct and intent on self-betrayal.
भार्यामुमां महादेवीं तथाप्यत्र समागताः २५.
And your wife, Umā, the great goddess, has also come here.
येषामेवंविधाबुद्धिरस्माभिः किं कृतं त्विदम् २५.
For those whose minds are thus, what have we done, indeed?
त्वयैव पतिना सर्वे प्रेरिताः कुर्महे विभो २५.
By you alone, O Lord, as our master, we are all impelled to act.
भ्रामयस्यखिलं विश्वं यन्त्रारूढं स्वमायया २५.
You make the entire universe revolve, mounted on the machine of your own illusion.
तस्मै पशुनां पतये नमस्तुभ्यं प्रसीद नः २५.
To him, the Lord of creatures, we bow; be gracious to us.
यथापूर्वं चकारैतान्संस्तवाद्ब्रह्मणः प्रभुः २५.
As before, the Lord performed these acts in response to Brahmā’s praise.
कोयमंग महादेवो न मन्यामो वयं च तम् २५.
Who is this great god, O friend? We do not regard him as anything special.
हुंकारेणैव ते दैत्याः स्वमेव नगरं गताः २५.
By a mere utterance of 'hum', those demons returned to their own city.
महादेवप्रभावेन दैत्यानां घोरकर्मणाम् २५.
By the power of Mahādeva, the terrible deeds of the demons were subdued.
कथमीश्वरवाक्यार्थस्तस्मादन्यत्र मुच्यते २५.
How can the meaning of the Lord’s words be otherwise interpreted?
ईश्वरं भुवनस्यास्य ये भजंते न त्र्यंबकम् २५.
Those who worship the Lord of this world but not Tryambaka are deluded.
