मां यदा लभते क्रुद्धः शुद्धो भागवतः शुचिः
When an angry but pure devotee, purified, attains me—
भेकस्त्रिशतवर्षाणि यातुधानः पुनर्दश
He becomes a frog for three hundred years, a demon for ten more.
अन्धो जायेत सुश्रोणि पंच सप्त तथा नव
He is born blind, O fair-hipped one, five, seven, or nine times.
शैवालभक्षिता चैव ह्याकाशगमनं तथा
He eats garlic and ash, and moves through the sky.
आत्मकर्मापराधेन प्राप्तः संसारसागरे अहो वै परमं गुह्यं यत्त्वया पूर्वभाषितम्
By the fault of his own actions, he arrives in the ocean of worldly existence. Ah, truly, the supreme secret is what you have spoken before.
जातं मे विह्वलं चित्तं न स्थिरं जायते क्वचित् 134.
My mind has become agitated; it never becomes steady anywhere.
श्रुत्वा सुदुस्तरं सारं भीतास्मि परिदेविता
Hearing this profound and difficult essence, I am afraid and lamenting.
मम चैव प्रियार्थाय सर्वलोकसुखावहम्
And for the sake of my beloved, which brings happiness to all the worlds—
अल्पसत्त्वा गतभया लोभमोहसमन्विताः
Those of little strength, free from fear, filled with greed and delusion—
ततः कमलपत्राक्षो वराहः सम्मुखे स्थितः
Then the lotus-eyed Varaha stood before her.
ततो भूम्या वचः श्रुत्वा ब्रह्मणश्च सुतो मुनिः
Then, hearing the words of the Earth and the sage, son of Brahma—
धन्या चैव सुभाग्या च यत्त्वया परिपृच्छितम्
Blessed and fortunate indeed is what you have asked.
किं त्वया भाषितो देवि सर्वयोगाङ्गयोगवित्
But what you have said, O goddess, knower of all limbs of yoga—
कुमारवचनं श्रुत्वा तं मही प्रत्यभाषत
Hearing the words of Kumara, the Earth replied to him.
कार्यं क्रियां च योगं च आध्यात्म्यं पार्थिवस्थितम्
Action, ritual, discipline, and spiritual knowledge are established in the earthly realm.
ततो मां भाषते ब्रह्मन्विष्णुर्मायाकरण्डकः 134.
Then, O Brahman, Vishnu, the maker of illusion, speaks to me.
कृत्वा तेन व्रतं चैव मम कर्मपरायणः
Having performed that vow, devoted to my actions,
अष्टौ भिक्षा यथान्यायं शुद्धभागवतां गृहे
Eight alms, according to rule, of pure devotion to the Bhagavata, in the house—
मुच्यते किल्बिषात्तस्मादेवमाह जनार्दनः
He is freed from sin; therefore Janardana has thus spoken.
शीघ्रमाराधयेद्विष्णुं द्विजमुख्यो न संशयः
He quickly worships Vishnu, foremost among twice-born, without doubt.
प्रत्युवाच विशालाक्षीं धर्मकामो वसुन्धराम्
He replied to the wide-eyed Vasundhara, desirous of righteousness.
तस्य ये मुखनिष्क्रान्ता धर्मास्तान्वक्तुमर्हसि ततः स पुण्डरीकाक्षः शङ्खचक्रगदाधरः
You should speak of those dharmas that have issued from his mouth; then that lotus-eyed one, bearer of conch, discus, and mace—
वराहरूपी भगवाँल्लोकनाथो जनार्दनः । उवाच मधुरं वाक्यं मेघदुन्दुभिनिःस्वनः
The blessed Lord, Janardana, master of the worlds, in the form of a boar, spoke sweet words, resounding like thunderclouds.
भक्तकर्मसुखार्थाय गुणवित्तसमन्विताम्
For the sake of the happiness of devotees’ actions, endowed with virtue and wealth,
देवि कारयते कर्म मम लोकं स गच्छति
O goddess, he who performs action for me attains my world.
मत्पूजनं विधानेन यदीच्छेत्परमां गतिम् 134.
If one desires the highest state, one should worship me according to the prescribed method.
संसारं ते न गच्छन्ति अपराधविवर्ज्जिताः अकर्मण्येन पुष्पेण यो मामर्चयते भुवि
They do not enter the cycle of rebirth, being free from offenses; but he who worships me on earth with improper flowers—
पातनं तस्य वक्ष्यामि तच्छृणुष्व वसुन्धरे
I will declare his fall; listen to this, O Vasundhara.
मूर्खा भागवता देवि मम विप्रियकारिणः
Foolish devotees, O goddess, who act contrary to my will—
अज्ञानस्य च दोषेण दुःखान्यनुभवन्ति च
Because of the fault of ignorance, they experience suffering.
