ततस्तस्यां सुता जज्ञे तस्मान्मदनरासभात् एनं प्रश्नं मम ब्रूहि शीघ्रं चेच्छक्तिरस्ति ते
Then a daughter was born to her from that ass of love; now answer my question quickly, if you have the power.
न च पश्यति निर्द्धारं प्रश्नस्यास्य कथंचन
But he could in no way see the solution to this question.
अताडयद्रुक्मरज्जुं कराभ्यां दोलकस्य च
He struck the golden rope and the swing with his hands.
सिंहव्याघ्रवराहाश्च महिषाश्चित्रका मृगाः
Lions, tigers, boars, buffaloes, and spotted deer,
अवादयन्नखौ भैमिः कनिष्ठांगुष्ठजौ हसन् 1.2.60.
Bhima, laughing, played with his fingernails and little finger and thumb.
तैर्मौर्वीनिर्मिताः सर्वे क्षणादेव स्म भक्षिताः
All those made of bowstring fiber were devoured in an instant.
उत्थाय सहसा दोलात्खड्गमादातुमैच्छत
Rising up suddenly from the swing, she wished to seize the sword.
केशेष्वादाय सव्येन पाणिनाऽपातयद्भुवि
Grabbing her by the hair with his left hand, he threw her down to the ground.
दक्षिणेन करेणास्याश्छेत्तुमैच्छत नासिकाम्
With his right hand, he wanted to cut off her nose.
प्रश्नेन शक्त्या च बलेन नाथ त्रिधा त्वयाहं विजिता नमस्ते
By questioning, by power, and by force, O Lord, I have been conquered by you in three ways—salutations to you.
एवमुक्त्वा मुमोचैनां मुक्ता चाह प्रणम्य सा
Having spoken thus, he released her, and she, freed, bowed and spoke.
जानामि त्वां महाबाहो वीरं शक्तिमतां वरम्
I know you, O mighty-armed one, as a hero, the best among the powerful.
गुह्यकाधिपतिस्त्वं हि कालनाभ इति स्मृतः
You are indeed the lord of the Guhyakas, known as Kālanābha.
इति मां प्राह कामाख्या सर्वं तत्संस्मराम्यहम्
Thus Kāmākhyā spoke to me; I remember all of that.
समादिश प्राणनाथ कमादेशं करोमि ते घटोत्कच उवाच प्रच्छन्नस्तस्य घटते न विवाहः कथंचन ।। 1.2.60.
Command me, O lord of my life, I will carry out your wish. Ghaṭotkaca said: If it is concealed, that marriage will never take place.
मोर्वि यस्य हि वर्तंते पितरौ बांधवास्तथा
Morvi, whose parents and relatives are still living—
अयं कुलक्रमोऽस्माकं यद्भार्या पतिमुद्वहेत्
This is our family custom: that a wife should be given to a husband.
भगदत्तमथो नाथं ततो मौर्वी न्यवेदयत्
Then she informed her lord Bhagadatta about Maurvi.
ततः पृष्ठिं समारोप्य घटोत्कचमनिंदिता
Then, placing Ghaṭotkaca on her back, she was not reproached.
ततोऽसौ वासुदेवेन पांडवैश्चाभिनंदितः
Then he was honored by Vāsudeva and the Pāṇḍavas.
कुरूणां राक्षसानां च प्रोक्तोत्तमविधानतः
According to the highest custom of the Kurus and Rākṣasas,
कुंती च द्रौपदी चोभे मुमुदाते नितांततः
Both Kuntī and Draupadī rejoiced greatly.
ततो विवाहे निर्वृत्ते प्रतिपूज्य घटोत्कचम्
Then, when the marriage was completed, they honored Ghaṭotkaca.
मौर्व्याऽऽज्ञां शिरसा गृह्य हैडंबिर्भार्ययान्वितः
Accepting Maurvi's command upon his head, Haidamba departed with his wife.
ततो राक्षसयोषाभिर्वीरकांस्यैः प्रवर्धितः 1.2.60.
Then, raised by the heroic rākṣasa women with bronze-like strength,
ततो वनेषु चित्रेषु निम्नगापुलिनेषु च
afterwards, in the varied forests and on the banks of the rivers,
एवं विक्रीडतस्तस्य गर्भो जज्ञे महाद्युतेः
thus, as he played about, the embryo of that great-spirited one was formed.
स जातमात्रो ववृधे क्षणाद्यौवनगोऽभवत्
He, at the very moment of birth, grew and in an instant attained youth.
ऊर्ध्वकेशश्चोर्ध्वरोमा पितरौ प्रणतोऽब्रवीत्
With hair and body standing upright, he bowed to his parents and spoke:
भवतोर्हि प्रियं कृत्वा अनृणः स्यां सदा ह्यहम्
By doing what pleases you both, I shall always be free from debt.
