Varaha Purana

त्वयि तुष्टे ह्यहं तुष्टः कुपिते कुपितस्त्वहम् 213.

When you are pleased, I am pleased; when you are angry, I am angry.

एवं तस्मै वरान्दत्त्वा प्रीतः स्वयमुमापतिः

Thus, having granted him boons, the Lord of Uma, pleased, himself—

आगतान्विद्धि सर्वान्वै त्रिदशान्समरुद्गणान्

Know that all the gods who have come, along with the hosts of Maruts, are present.

यदीरितं मया वत्स वरं प्रतिवचस्त्वयि

Whatever boon I have declared to you, dear one, let it be answered.

नारायणं पुरस्कृत्य सेन्द्रास्ते समरुद्गणाः

Having Narayana at their head, those with Indra and the hosts of Maruts—

यक्षविद्याधरगणाः सिद्धगन्धर्वपन्नगाः

The hosts of Yakshas, Vidyadharas, Siddhas, Gandharvas, and Nagas—

ते बुद्ध्वा त्वद्गतामृद्धि प्रतप्ताः परमेर्ष्यया

Having realized that your prosperity is attained, they are tormented by intense envy.

चर्तुं समभिवाञ्छन्ति सदाभ्यासे वरार्थिनः

Always, those who seek boons long to practice here.

अत्रैते यावदागम्य न मां पश्यन्ति मानवाः

Here, until they arrive, mortals do not see me.

अद्य ते तु मया सर्वे देवा ब्रह्मपुरोगमाः

But today, all the gods, led by Brahma, are with you through me.

अभिप्रायं च सर्वेषां जानामि द्विजसत्तम 213.

O best of twice-born, I know the intention of them all.

इति श्रीवराहपुराणे भगवच्छास्त्रे गोकर्णेश्वरमाहात्म्ये त्रयोदशाधिकद्विशततमोऽ ध्यायः

Thus ends the two hundred thirteenth chapter in the glorification of Gokarneshvara, in the divine scripture of the Varaha Purana.

; पुनः गोकर्णमाहात्म्यनन्दिकेश्वरवरप्रदानवर्णनम् अन्तर्हितं ततस्तस्मिन्भवे वै भूतनायके

Again, the account of the greatness of Gokarna and the granting of boons by Nandikeshvara: Then, in that existence, the lord of beings became invisible.

चतुर्भुजस्त्रिणयनो दिव्यसंस्थानसंस्थितः

He stood there with four arms, three eyes, and a divine form.

त्रिशूली परिघी दण्डी पिनाकी मौञ्जमेखली

Holding a trident, a club, a staff, and the Pinaka bow, wearing a girdle of munja grass—

आस्थितः पादमाकृष्य ह्याह्वयन्निव स द्विजः

He stood, drawing back his foot, as if calling out, that twice-born one.

तं दृष्ट्वा खेचराः सर्वा देवताः परिशंकिताः

Seeing him, all the celestial beings moving in the sky became apprehensive.

तेभ्यः श्रुत्वा सहस्राक्षः सर्वे चान्ये दिवौकसः

Hearing this, the thousand-eyed one and all the other dwellers of heaven—

अयं कश्चिद्वरं लब्ध्वा ह्युमाकान्तान्महेश्वरात्

‘This one, having obtained a boon from Maheshvara, beloved of Uma—

यादृशोऽस्य महोत्साहस्तेजोबलसमन्वितः

Such is his great enthusiasm, endowed with brilliance and strength—

यावच्चैवोजसा नाकमसौ चंक्रमते प्रभुः

As long as he moves through heaven with such power, this lord—

एवमुक्त्वा तु ते तत्र मया सह सुरोत्तमाः 214.

Thus speaking, those excellent gods remained there with me.

विधाता भगवान्विष्णुः प्रभुस्त्रिभुवनेश्वरः

The Creator, the Blessed Vishnu, the Lord, the Ruler of the three worlds—

कृतेन तेन विबुधाः पश्यन्ति मुनयश्च तं

By that act, the gods and sages behold him.

जगाम तत्र यत्रासौ नन्दी तिष्ठति देववत् सफलं जीवितं मेऽद्य सफलश्च परिश्रमः

He went to the place where Nandi stands, like a god; today my life is fulfilled, and my effort has borne fruit.

यन्मे दृष्टः सुराध्यक्षः सर्वलोकगुरुर्हरिः

Because I have seen Hari, the lord of the gods, the teacher of all worlds.

यच्च मे प्रभुरव्यग्रः प्रीतः पापहरो हरः

And because the Lord Hara, remover of sins, was calm and pleased with me.

परो मेऽनुग्रहः सोऽत्र पूतोऽस्मि खलु साम्प्रतम्

This is a supreme favor to me; now, indeed, I am purified.

मामुद्दिश्य हितं तथ्यं तथैव च न चान्यथा

He spoke what is true and beneficial for me, and not otherwise.
