यच्च हस्तशतादूर्ध्वं सरस्तत्र विधीयते
And whatever is beyond a hundred hand-lengths, there a lake is prescribed.
ततः स्नानं प्रकर्तव्यमन्यथा दोष उच्यते
Therefore, bathing must be performed there; otherwise, it is said to be a fault.
मलं मूत्रं पुरीषं च श्लेष्म निष्ठीनाश्रु च
Filth, urine, feces, phlegm, spittle, and tears—
तस्मान्निःसर शीघ्रं त्वं यद्येवमजितेन्द्रियः
Therefore, if you are unable to control your senses, quickly go out.
यस्य हस्तौ च पादौ च मनश्चैव सुसंयतम्
He whose hands, feet, and mind are well restrained—
क्षुधा तृषा मया नित्यं वारितुं नैव शक्यते
Hunger and thirst, by me, cannot always be restrained.
किं न श्रुतस्त्वया श्लोकः शिबिना यः समीरितः
Have you not heard the verse spoken by Śibi?
मुहूर्तमपि जीवेत नरः शुक्लेन कर्मणा
A man may live even for a moment by righteous action.
पास्याम्येव जलं चात्र कामं विलप शुष्य वा ।। 1.2.64.
Here, I will drink water as I wish; complain or dry up as you please.
तस्मात्ते पातकं कर्तुं न दास्यामि कथंचन
Therefore, I will never allow you to commit a sin.
तद्वराकाथ शीघ्रं त्वमस्मात्कुंडाद्विनिःसर
So, wretch, quickly get out from this pool.
इष्टकाशकलैः शीघ्रं चूर्णयिष्येऽन्यथा शिरः
Otherwise, I will swiftly crush your head with brick fragments.
भीमश्च वंचयित्वा तामुत्प्लुत्य बहिराव्रजत्
Then Bhīma, having deceived her, leapt out and came outside.
युयुधाते प्रलंबाभ्यां बाहुभ्यां युद्धपारगौ
He fought with Pralamba, both skilled in battle, with their arms.
मुष्टिभिः पार्ष्णिघातैश्च जानुभिश्चाभिजघ्नतुः
They struck each other with fists, blows from the heels, and knees.
हीयमानस्ततो भीम उद्यतोऽभूत्पुनः पुनः
Then Bhīma, being overpowered, rose up again and again.
ततो भीमं समुत्पाट्य बर्बरीको बलादिव
Then Barbarika, with great strength, seized Bhima as if uprooting him.
मूर्छितं चैवमादाय विस्फुरन्तं पुनःपुनः
Taking him, unconscious and repeatedly convulsing,
ददृशुः पांडवा नैतद्देव्या नयनयंत्रिताः ।। 1.2.64.
the Pandavas did not see this, for they were restrained by the goddess's power.
तथा गृहीते कुरुवीरमुख्ये वीरेण तेनाद्भुतविक्रमेण
Thus, when that foremost Kuru hero was captured by that warrior of wondrous prowess,
सागरस्य ततस्तीरे बर्बरीकं गतं तदा
then Barbarika went to the shore of the ocean.
भोभो राक्षसशार्दूल बर्बरीक महाबल
"Ho! O tiger among Rakshasas, Barbarika of great might,
अयं हि तीर्थयात्रायां विचरन्भ्रातृभिर्युतः
this one, journeying on pilgrimage, is accompanied by his brothers.
सम्मानं सर्वथा तस्मादर्हः कौरवनंदनः
Therefore, O delight of the Kurus, he is always worthy of honor.
न्यपतत्पादयोर्हा धिक्कष्टं कष्टं च प्राह सः
He fell at his feet, exclaiming, 'Alas! How terrible, how terrible!'
क्षम्यतां क्षम्यतां चेति पुनः पुनरवोचत
He kept saying again and again, 'Forgive me, forgive me.'
तं तथा परिशोचंतं मुह्यमानं मुहुर्मुहुः
Seeing him thus lamenting, repeatedly fainting,
वयं त्वां नैव जानीमस्त्वं चास्माञ्जन्मकालतः
"We do not know you, nor do you know us from the time of birth.
परं नो विस्मृतं सर्वं नानादुःखैः प्रमुह्यताम् 1.2.64.
All else has been forgotten by us, bewildered by various sorrows.
तदस्माकमिदं दुःखं सर्वकालविधानतः
This suffering of ours is due to the workings of fate at all times.
