अशिरस्कस्तयोर्विघ्नो नाकश्चैवाशरीरवान्। सद्रमश्चैक हस्तोऽभूद्विधमश्चैकपात्स्मृतः ।। २२.
Of those, Vighna was headless, Nāka was bodiless, Sadrama had only one hand, and Vidhama is remembered as one-footed.
सद्रमस्य तथा पत्नी तामसी पूतना स्मृता । रेवती विधमस्यापि तयोः पुत्राः सहस्रशः ।। २२.
Sadrama's wife was Tāmasī, known as Pūtanā; Vidhama's wife was Revatī. Their sons numbered in the thousands.
नाकस्य शकुनिः पत्नी विघ्नस्य च अयोमुखी। राक्षसास्तु महाशीर्षाः सन्ध्याद्वयविचारिणः ।। २२.
Nāka's wife was Śakuni, and Vighna's wife was Ayomukhī. The Rakṣasas, with great heads, wandered at twilight.
रेवतीपूतनापुत्रा नैऋता नामतः स्मृताः। ग्रहास्ते राक्षसाः सर्वे बालानान्तु विशेषतः। स्कन्दस्तेषामधिपतिर्ब्रह्मणोऽनुमते प्रभुः ।। २२.
The sons of Revatī and Pūtanā are called Naiṛtas. All those Rakṣasas are known as planets, especially among children. Skanda is their lord, empowered by Brahmā.
बृहस्पतेर्या भगिनी वरस्त्री ब्रह्मचारिणी। योगसिद्धा जगत्कृत्स्नमसक्ता चरते सदा ।। २२.
Bṛhaspati's sister, a noble woman and celibate, accomplished in yoga, always wanders unattached throughout the whole world.
प्रभासस्य तु सा भार्या वसूनामष्टमस्य तु। विश्वकर्मा सुतस्तस्या जातः शिल्पिप्रजापतिः ।। २२.
She was the wife of Prabhāsa, the eighth of the Vasus. Their son was Viśvakarmā, the artisan and progenitor.
त्वष्टा विराजो रूपाणां धर्म्मपौत्र उदारधीः। कर्त्ता शिल्पसहस्राणां त्रिदशानाञ्च वास्तुकृत् ।। २२.
Tvaṣṭā, son of Dharma, wise and radiant, is the creator of thousands of crafts and the architect of the gods.
यः सर्वेषां विमानानि देवतानाञ्चकार ह। मानुषाश्चोपजीवन्ति यस्य शिल्पं महात्मनः ।। २२.
He made all the aerial vehicles for the deities, and humans also live by the skill of this great soul.
प्रह्लादी विश्रुता तस्य त्वष्टुः पत्नी विरोचना। विरोचनस्य भगिनी माता त्रिशिरसस्तु सा ।। २२.
Prahlādī, renowned, was Tvaṣṭā's wife, Virocanā. She was also the sister of Virocana and the mother of Triśiras.
देवाचार्यस्य महतो विश्वकर्मस्य धीमतः। विश्वकर्मात्मजश्चैव विश्वकर्ममयः स्मृतः ।। २२.
The great and wise Viśvakarmā, teacher of the gods, had a son called Viśvakarmamaya, remembered by that name.
सुरेणुरिति विख्याता स्वसा तस्य यवीयसी। त्वाष्ट्री सा सवितुर्भार्य्या पुनः संज्ञेति विश्रुता ।। २२.
She who is renowned as Sureṇu, the younger sister of him, the daughter of Tvaṣṭṛ, became the wife of Savitṛ, and is later known as Saṃjñā.
असूत तपसा सा तु मनुं ज्येष्ठं विवस्वतः। यमौ पुनरसूतासौ यमञ्च यमुनाञ्च ह ।। २२.
By her austerity, she gave birth to Manu, the eldest son of Vivasvat; and again she bore the twins, Yama and Yamunā.
सा तु गत्वा कुरून् देवी वडवारूपधारिणी। सवितुश्चाश्वरूपस्य नासिकाभ्यां तु तौ स्मृतौ ।। २२.
That goddess, assuming the form of a mare, went to the land of the Kurus; and from the nostrils of Savitṛ, who had taken the form of a horse, those two were remembered as born.
असूत सा महाभागा त्वन्तरिक्षेऽश्विनौ किल। नासत्यञ्चैव दस्रञ्च मार्त्तण्डस्यात्मजावुभौ ।। २२.
She, the illustrious one, gave birth in the sky to the Aśvins—Nāsatya and Dasra—both sons of Mārttaṇḍa.
ऋषय ऊचुः।। कस्मान्मार्त्तण्ड इत्येष विवस्वानुच्यते बुधैः। किमर्थं साऽश्वरूपा वै नासिकाभ्यामसूयत। एतद्वेदितुमिच्छामस्तत्त्वं विब्रूहि पृच्छताम् ।। २२.
The sages said: Why is Vivasvān called Mārttaṇḍa by the wise? For what reason did she, in the form of a mare, give birth through the nostrils? We wish to know this truth; please explain it to us who ask.
सूत उवाच।। चिरोत्पन्नमतिर्भिन्नमण्डं त्वष्ट्रा विदारितम्। दृष्ट्वा गर्भवधाद्भीतः कश्यपो दुःशितोऽभवत् ।। २२.
Sūta said: When the egg, long conceived, was split apart by Tvaṣṭṛ, seeing the embryo destroyed, Kaśyapa became distressed out of fear.
अण्डे द्विधाकृते त्वण्डं दृष्ट्वा त्वष्टारमब्रवीत्। नैतदण्डं भवान्नूनं मार्त्तण्डस्त्वं भवानघ ।। २२.
When the egg was divided in two, seeing this, he said to Tvaṣṭṛ: 'Surely, this is not the egg; you are Mārttaṇḍa, O sinless one.'
न खल्वयं मृतोऽण्डे च इति स्नेहात् पिताऽब्रवीत्। तस्य तद्वचनं श्रुत्वा नामान्वर्थमुदाहरत् ।। २२.
Out of affection, the father said, 'He is not dead in the egg.' Hearing those words, the name was given accordingly.
यन्मार्त्तण्डो भवेत्युक्तः पित्राऽण्डे वै द्विधा कृते। तस्माद्विवस्वान्मार्त्तण्डः पुराणज्ञैर्विभाष्यते ।। २२.
Because the father said, 'You are Mārttaṇḍa,' when the egg was split in two, therefore Vivasvān is called Mārttaṇḍa by those who know the ancient lore.
ततः प्रजाः प्रवक्ष्यामि मार्त्तण्डस्य विवस्वतः। विजज्ञे सवितुः संज्ञाभार्यायान्तु त्रयं पुरा ।। २२.
Now I will tell of the offspring of Mārttaṇḍa, Vivasvān; formerly, three were born from Saṃjñā, the wife of Savitṛ.
मनुर्यवीयान् सावर्णिः संज्ञायाञ्च तथाश्विनौ। शनैश्चरश्च सप्तैते मार्त्तण्डस्यात्मजाः स्मृताः ।। २२.
Manu, the younger Sāvarṇi, and the Aśvins from Saṃjñā, and also Śanaiścara—these seven are remembered as the sons of Mārttaṇḍa.
विवस्वान् कश्यपाज्जज्ञे दाक्षायण्यां महायशाः। तस्य भार्याऽभवत्त्वाष्ट्री महादेवी विवस्वतः। सुरेणुरिति विख्याता पुनः संज्ञेति विश्रुता ।। २२.
Vivasvān, of great fame, was born from Kaśyapa and Dākṣāyaṇī; his wife was the daughter of Tvaṣṭṛ, the great goddess of Vivasvān, known as Sureṇu and later as Saṃjñā.
सा तु भार्या भगवतो मार्त्तण्डस्यातितेजसः। नातुष्यद्भर्तृरूपेण रूपयौवनशालिनी ।। २२.
She was the wife of the blessed Mārttaṇḍa, of immense brilliance, but though endowed with beauty and youth, she was not pleased with her husband's form.
आदित्यस्य हि तद्रूपं मार्त्तण्डस्य हि तेजसा। गोत्रेषु प्रतिरुद्धं वै नाति कान्तमिवाभवत् ।। २२.
For the form of Āditya, Mārttaṇḍa, by his radiance, was restrained among the lineages and did not appear very pleasing.
न खल्वयं मृतो ह्यण्डे इति स्नेहात्तमब्रवीत् । अज्ञानः कश्यपः स्नेहान्मार्त्तण्ड इति चोच्यते ।। २२.
Out of affection, the father said, 'He is not dead in the egg'; Kaśyapa, out of ignorance and affection, is said to have called him Mārttaṇḍa.
तेजस्त्वभ्यधिकं तस्य नित्यमेव विवस्वतः। येनापि तापयामास त्रील्लोँकान् कश्यपात्मजः ।। २२.
The radiance of Vivasvān was always excessive, by which the son of Kaśyapa caused the three worlds to burn.
त्रीण्यपत्यानि संज्ञायां जनयामास वै रविः । द्वौ सुतौ तु महावीर्यौ कन्यां कालिन्दिमेव च ।। २२.
Ravi begot three children on Saṃjñā: two sons of great might, and a daughter, Kālindī.
मनुर्विवस्वतो ज्येष्ठः श्राद्धदेवः प्रजापतिः। ततो यमो यमी चैव यमजौ संबभूवतुः ।। २२.
Manu, the eldest son of Vivasvat, the lord of progeny and the god of the Śrāddha rite; then Yama and Yamī, the twins, were born.
शान्तवर्णन्तु तद्रूपं दृष्ट्वा संज्ञा विवस्वतः। असहन्ती स्वकां जायां सवर्णां निर्ममे पुनः ।। २२.
Seeing that tranquil form, Vivasvat lost consciousness; unable to endure her own wife, Savarṇā was created again.
महीमयी तु सा नारी तस्याश्छायासमुद्गता। प्राञ्जलिः प्रयता भूत्वा पुनः संज्ञामभाषत ।। २२.
That woman, composed of earth, arose from her shadow; with joined palms and devotion, she again addressed Saṃjñā.
