इति ब्रुवति देवेशेप्यंतरुच्छ्वसितं गणैः
As the Lord of the gods was speaking thus, the Gaṇas breathed a sigh of relief.
अर्कोप्यवसरं ज्ञात्वा नत्वा शंभुं व्यजिज्ञपत्
Then the Sun, seizing the opportunity, bowed to Śambhu and addressed him.
अकिंचित्करतां प्राप्तः सहस्रकरवानपि
Though possessing a thousand arms, he had come to a state of helplessness.
स्वधर्मपालके तस्मिन्दिवोदासे धरापतौ
While Divodāsa, the lord of the earth, was upholding his own duty,
प्रतीक्षमाणो देवेश त्वदामनमुत्तमम्
He waited for your supreme command, O Lord of the gods.
मनोरथद्रुमश्चाद्य फलितः श्रीमदीक्षशात्
Today, by your glorious initiation, the tree of my desire has borne fruit.
इत्युदीरितमाकर्ण्य रवेर्वैरविलोचनः
Hearing these words, the enemy-eyed one of the Sun,
ममैव कार्यं विह्तिं त्वं यदत्र व्यवस्थितः
It is indeed my duty that you are established here.
इति सूरं समाश्वास्य देवदेव कृपानिधिः
Thus consoling the Sun, the Lord of gods, ocean of compassion,
योगिन्योपि सुदृष्ट्वाथ शंभुना संप्रसादिताः 4.2.62.
The Yoginīs, too, having been well regarded by Śambhu, were satisfied.
ततो व्यापारयांचक्रे त्र्यक्षो नेत्राणि चक्रिणि
Then the three-eyed one directed his eyes toward the wielder of the discus.
ईशोपि श्रुतवृत्तांतस्तार्क्ष्याद्गणप शार्ङ्गिणोः
The Lord, having heard the events from Tārkṣya, Gaṇapa, and the wielder of Śārṅga, too,
एतस्मिन्नंतरे प्राप्ता गोलोकात्पंच धेनवः
Meanwhile, five cows arrived from Goloka.
पंचमी कपिला चापि सर्वाघौघविघट्टिनी
The fifth was Kapila, the remover of all great sins.
ववर्षुः पयसां पूरैस्तदूधांसि पयोधराः
Their udders, full as rain-clouds, poured forth streams of milk.
पयःपयोधिरिव स द्वितीयः प्रैक्षि पार्षदैः
That place appeared to the attendants like a second ocean of milk.
कपिला ह्रद इत्याख्यां चक्रे तस्य महेश्वरः
Maheśvara named that lake 'Kapilā Hrada.'
आविरासुस्ततस्तीर्थादथ दिव्यपितामहाः
Then, from that holy place, the divine ancestors appeared.
अग्निष्वात्ता बर्हिषद आज्यपाः सोमपास्तथा
Agniṣvāttas, Barhiṣads, Ājyapās, and Somapās as well.
देवदेव जगन्नाथ भक्तानामभयप्रद 4.2.62.
O God of gods, Lord of the universe, giver of fearlessness to devotees.
तस्माच्छंभो वरं देहि प्रसन्नेनांतरात्मना
Therefore, O Śambhu, grant a boon with your gracious inner self.
शृण्वतां सर्वदेवानामिदं वचनमब्रवीत्
Hearing all the gods, he spoke these words.
एतस्मिन्कापिले तीर्थे कापिलेय पयोभृते
At this Kapila tīrtha, filled with Kapila's milk—
ये पिंडान्निर्वपिष्यंति श्रद्धया श्राद्धदानतः
Those who offer piṇḍa and rice with faith as śrāddha gifts—
अन्यं विशेषं वक्ष्यामि महातृप्तिकरं परम्
I will tell you another special thing, supremely satisfying.
संवर्तकाले संप्राप्ते जलराशिर्जलान्यपि
When the time of dissolution arrives, and the waters are gathered—
अमासोमसमायोगे श्राद्धं यद्यत्र लभ्यते
If a śrāddha is performed here during the conjunction of Amā and Soma—
गदाधरभवान्यत्र यत्र त्वं च पितामह
Where Gadādhara, Bhava, you, and Pitāmaha are present—
दिव्यांतरिक्षभौमानि यानि तीर्थानि सर्वतः
All the holy places—divine, atmospheric, and earthly—
कुरुक्षेत्रे नैमिषे च गंगासागरसंगमे 4.2.62.
At Kurukṣetra, at Naimiṣa, and at the confluence of Gaṅgā and the ocean—
