फलपुष्पसमाकीर्णा लक्ष्मीश्चैवोपजायते
The place became filled with fruits and flowers, and prosperity arose.
तच्च वै भस्मसाद्भूतं महारुद्रस्य तेजसा
And that place became reduced to ashes by the energy of the great Rudra.
ईश्वरोऽपि ततः प्राप्तः शीघ्रमेव हिमालयम्
The Lord then quickly reached the Himalaya.
आश्रमं समनुप्राप्त और्वोऽपि मुनिपुंगवः
Aurva, the foremost sage, also arrived at the hermitage.
दृष्ट्वा स्वमाश्रमं दग्धं बहुपुष्पफलोदकम्
Seeing his hermitage burned, with its many flowers, fruits, and waters,
उवाच क्रोधरक्ताक्षो वचनं निर्दहन्निव
He spoke, his eyes red with anger, uttering words as if scorching.
सोऽपि दुःखेन सन्तप्तः सर्वलोकान्भ्रमिष्यति
He too, afflicted by suffering, will wander among all the worlds.
महाभयात्तु लोकानां न कश्चित्पर्यवारयत्
Because of the great terror among the worlds, no one could restrain him.
महादाहेन सन्तप्तः शम्भुर्देवीमुवाच ह 147.
Scorched by a great burning, Śambhu spoke to the goddess.
दह्यते स्म जगत्सर्वं स तु किञ्चिन्न चेच्छति
The entire world was being consumed by fire, yet he desired nothing at all.
एवमुक्ते मया क्रोधादीक्षितस्तस्य चाश्रमः
Having spoken thus, out of anger, I gazed at his hermitage.
एतद्दुःखेन सन्तप्तो मन्युना च परिप्लुतः
Tormented by this suffering and overwhelmed by wrath,
ततोऽभ्रमद्विरूपाक्षः शं न प्राप्नोति कर्हिचित्
Then Virūpākṣa wandered, never attaining peace at any time.
तेन दाहेन सन्तप्तो न शक्नोमि विचेष्टितुम्
Afflicted by that burning, I am unable to move.
गच्छावस्तस्य वाक्येन सुखं यत्र भविष्यति
Let us go, by his word, to where happiness will be found.
विज्ञापयामो रुद्रस्य शापोऽयं विनिवर्त्तताम्
Let us petition Rudra so that this curse may be withdrawn.
और्वोऽप्युवाच नोक्तं मे अनृतं तु कदाचन
Aurva also said: Never has an untruth been spoken by me.
रुद्रशापो निवृत्तः स्यात्तेनैव किल नान्यथा
The curse of Rudra will be lifted only by that means, not otherwise.
सप्तसप्ततिः कल्याणि सौरभेया महौजसः 147.
Seventy-seven Saurabheyas of great might, O auspicious one.
तच्च गोनिष्क्रमं नाम तीर्थं परमपावनम्
That is called the 'departure of the cow,' a sacred and supreme tirtha.
गोलोकं च समासाद्य मोदते नात्र संशयः
Having attained Goloka, he rejoices; there is no doubt about this.
शंखचक्रगदायुक्तो मम लोके महीयते
Endowed with conch, discus, and mace, he is honored in my world.
तत्र स्नानं प्रकुर्वीत पंचरात्रोषितो नरः
There, a man who has fasted for five nights should perform bathing.
अथात्र मुञ्चते प्राणान्कृत्वा कर्म सुदुष्करम्
Then, having performed a most difficult deed, he relinquishes his life there.
अस्ति पंचपदं नाम तस्मिन्क्षेत्रे परं मम
There is a place called Pañcapada; in that field is my supreme abode.
मत्पूर्वां दिशमाश्रित्य तत्र ब्रह्मपदद्वयम्
Facing the eastern direction there, are two seats of Brahman.
ऊर्द्ध्वं नालपरीणाहं तत्र विष्णुपदं मम
Above, to the extent of a lotus-stalk, is my seat of Viṣṇu.
यांति शुद्धांस्तु लोकांस्ते ये च भागवतप्रियाः
Those pure souls who are dear to the devotees of the Lord reach those worlds.
विमुक्तः सर्वसंसारान्मम लोकं च गच्छति 147.
Freed from all worldly existence, one attains my world.
यत्र धारा पतत्येका पश्चिमां दिशमाश्रिता
Where a single stream falls, situated toward the west,
