इत्याद्यैस्तु गणैरुग्रैरंधकोप्यंधकीकृतः 4.1.16.
And by those fierce Ganas and others, Andhaka was rendered blind.
ततः कोलाहलो जातः प्रमथासुरसैन्ययोः
Then a tumult arose between the armies of the Pramathas and the Asuras.
छिद्रान्वेषी भ्रमन्सोथ विनिःकेतो यथानिलः
Seeking out openings, wandering and darting about like the wind,
ब्रह्मनारायणेंद्राणामादित्याप्यरसां तथा
Of Brahma, Narayana, Indra, the Adityas, and the Vasus likewise,
सवर्षाणां शतं कुक्षौ भवस्य परितो भ्रमन्
For a hundred years, circling around in the belly of Bhava,
शांभवेनाथयोगेन शुक्ररूपेण भार्गवः
Then, by the yoga of Shambhu, Bhargava entered in the form of Shukra.
शुक्रवन्निःसृतोयस्मात्तस्मात्त्वं भृगुनंदन
Because semen issued forth from you like that of Śukra, therefore, O descendant of Bhṛgu,
जठरान्निर्गते शुक्रे देवोपि मुमुदेतराम्
When the semen emerged from the belly, even the god rejoiced greatly.
इत्येवमुक्तो देवेन शुक्रोर्कसदृश द्युतिः
Thus addressed by the god, he shone with a radiance like that of Śukra and the sun.
शुक्रोदयान्मुदं लेभे स दानव महार्णवः
Because of the arising of Śukra, that great ocean-like Dānava experienced joy.
अंधकांधकहंत्रोर्वै वर्तमाने महाहवे 4.1.16.
While the great battle between Andhaka and the slayer of Andhaka was ongoing,
यथा च विद्यां तां प्राप मृतसंजीवनीं पराम्
In the same way, he obtained that supreme knowledge of reviving the dead.
अंडजस्वेदजोद्भिज्जजरायुज गतिप्रदाम्
Which bestows movement to those born from eggs, sweat, sprouts, and wombs.
संस्थाप्य लिंगं श्रीशंभोः कूपं कृत्वा तदग्रतः
Having established the liṅga of glorious Śambhu and made a well before it,
राजचंपकधत्तूर करवीरकुशेशयैः
With royal campaka, dhattūra, karavīra, and kuśeśaya flowers,
मल्लिकाशतपत्रीभिः सिंदुवारैः सकिंशुकैः
With mallikā, śatapatrī, sinduvāra, and kiṃśuka flowers,
क्षुद्राभिर्माधवीभिश्च पाटला बिल्वचंपकैः
With small mādhavī, pāṭalā, bilva, and campaka flowers,
मंदारैर्बिल्वपत्रैश्च द्रोणैर्मरुबकैर्बकैः
With mandāra, bilva leaves, droṇa, marubaka, and baka flowers,
तुलसी देवगंधारी बृहत्पत्री कुशांकुरैः
With tulasī, devagandhārī, bṛhatpatrī, and kuśa sprouts,
कांचनारैः कुरबकैर्दूर्वांकुर कुरंटकैः
With kāṃcanāra, kurabaka, young shoots of dūrvā grass, and kuraṃṭaka flowers,
पत्रैः शतसहस्रैश्च स समानर्च शंकरम् 4.1.16.
He worshipped Śaṃkara with leaves by the hundreds and thousands.
स्नपयामास देवेशं सुगंधस्नपनैर्बहु
He bathed the Lord of the gods with many fragrant ablutions.
समालिलिंप देवेशं सुगंधोद्वर्तनान्यनु
He anointed the Lord of the gods with fragrant unguents thereafter.
नाम्नां सहस्रैरन्यैश्च स्तोत्रैस्तुष्टाव शंकरम्
He praised Śaṃkara with thousands of names and other hymns.
यदा देवं नालुलोके मनागपि वरोन्मुखम्
When he did not turn his mind at all toward the god, nor showed any desire for a boon,
प्रक्षाल्य चेतसो त्यंतं चांचल्याख्यं महामलम्
Having washed away from his mind that great impurity called restlessness,
निर्मलीकृत्य तच्चेतो रत्नं दत्त्वा पिनाकिने
And having purified that mind, he offered the jewel to Pinākin (Śiva),
प्रससाद तदा देवो भार्गवाय महात्मने
Then the god was pleased with Bhārgava, the great-souled one,
उवाच च विरूपाक्षः साक्षाद्दाक्षायणीपतिः
And Virūpākṣa, the lord of Dākṣāyaṇī, spoke,
निशम्येति वचः शंभोरंभोजनयनो द्विजः
Hearing these words of Śambhu, the twice-born one with lotus eyes,
