दृष्ट्वा च तनयं पंगुमित्युवाच विभावसुः
Seeing his son crippled, Vibhāvasu spoke thus:
इति पृष्टो यदा तेन सवित्रा लोकभास्वता
When questioned by Savitṛ, the radiant lord of the worlds,
प्रातराशाय मे नाथ याचितं मातुरंतिकात्
For my morning meal, O master, I begged from my mother’s presence.
पादौ मे गलितौ सद्यो मातुः शापपराभवौ
My feet immediately fell, overcome by my mother’s curse.
विचित्रमिदमाख्यातं मातुः शापस्य कारणम्
This strange account has been told—the reason for my mother’s curse.
नेयं सा रुचिरापांगी त्वाष्ट्री लोकस्य पावनी 5.1.56.
She is not the lovely-eyed daughter of Tvaṣṭṛ, purifier of the world.
गता वै सा पितुर्गेहे वारिताहं तयाऽनघ
She has gone to her father’s house; I was forbidden by her, O sinless one.
सवित्रे नैव वक्तव्यं छाये किंचित्कथंचन
Nothing at all should be spoken to Savitṛ by Chāyā.
तच्छ्रुत्वा भगवांस्त्वष्टुः समीपं रोषमास्थितः
Hearing this, the blessed Tvaṣṭṛ approached, filled with anger.
तं दृष्ट्वा सहसोत्थाय त्वष्टा लोकपितामहः
Seeing him, Tvaṣṭṛ, the patriarch of the world, rose suddenly.
नत्वा पादौ परिक्रम्य बहुमानपुरः सरम्
He bowed at his feet, circled him, and showed utmost respect.
आगता ते गृहं तात मम मार्गानुमोदिनी
She has come to your house, dear one, following my path.
इत्युक्ते वचने त्वष्ट्रा रविर्दुश्चिंतमानसः
When Tvaṣṭṛ spoke these words, Ravi’s mind was troubled.
किं करोमि क्व गच्छामि क्व च प्रियतरा मम
What shall I do? Where shall I go? Where is my beloved?
तव तेजः परिभ्रष्टा भग्ना क्वापि गताबला
Your radiance has been lost, broken, and has gone somewhere, deprived of its strength.
तदा ते रोचते सम्यग्यथा स्याद्वै तथा कुरु।।5.1.56.
Now, let it please you completely; do as it should be done.
इति सूर्यवचः श्रुत्वा शाणं कृत्वा सुदर्शनम्
Hearing these words of the Sun, he fashioned Sudarśana from a blade.
तस्य घृष्टितमात्रेण त्वष्टा चक्रे विवस्वतः
With just a touch of its edge, Tvaṣṭā made it for Vivasvat.
तदा त्वष्टाऽब्रवीद्वाक्यं मधुरं सूर्यसंनिधौ
Then Tvaṣṭā spoke sweet words in the presence of the Sun.
गृह्यतां भोः सुरश्रेष्ठ शीघ्रं गच्छतु शाड्वले
Let it be taken, O best of gods; let it quickly go to the meadow.
उभयोः संगमो यत्र तत्र मुक्तिर्न संशयः
Where the union of both occurs, there is liberation without doubt.
इति तस्य वचः श्रुत्वा सविता सर्वतापनः
Hearing these words, Savitā, the all-heating one,
क्षातासंगमसंयुक्ता यत्र शिप्रा पयस्विनी
Where the river Śiprā, rich in waters, is joined with the Kṣātāsaṃgama,
तत्रागत्य प्रियां भार्यां वडवारूपधारिणीम्
There, arriving, he saw his beloved wife, taking the form of a mare.
नासिकाघ्राणमात्रेण यत्र जातौ सुतावुभौ
Where, by merely smelling with the nose, both sons were born.
छाया च सुषुवे तत्र मिथुनं द्विजसत्तम 5.1.56.
There, Chāyā gave birth to twins, O best of twice-born.
शनि योगे यदामा वै जायते सर्वकामदा
When Saturn is in conjunction, all desires are fulfilled.
तस्य हस्तगता लक्ष्मीर्जायते सर्वदा भुवि
His fortune, held in his hand, always arises on earth.
स्थावरेशं समभ्यर्च्य तस्य पापक्षयो भवेत्
By worshipping the lord of the immovable, his sins are destroyed.
पिंगश्छायासुतो बभ्रुः स्थावरः पिप्पलायनः
Piṅga, Chāyā's son, Babhru, Sthāvara, and Pippalāyana.
