श्रीपराशर उवाच । एतच्छ्रुत्वा तु कोपेन समुत्थाय वरासनात् । हिरण्यकशिपुः पुत्रं पदा वक्षस्यताडयत् 1.19.
Śrī Parāśara said: Hearing this, Hiraṇyakaśipu rose in anger from his splendid seat and struck his son on the chest with his foot.
उवाच च स कोपेन सामर्षः प्रज्वलन्निव । निष्पिष्य पाणिना पाणिं हन्तुकामो जगद्यथा
And, burning with rage and indignation, he pressed his hand with his own, wishing to kill him, as if to crush the world.
हिरण्यकशिपुरुवाच । हे विप्रचित्ते हे राहो हे बलैष महार्णवे । नागपाशैर्दृढैर्बद्धा क्षिप्यतां मा विलंब्यताम्
Hiraṇyakaśipu said: O Vipracitti! O Rāhu! O Bala! Bind this wicked one firmly with strong serpent bonds and cast him into the great ocean—do not delay!
अन्यथा सकला लोकास्तथा दैतेयदानवाः । अनुयास्यन्ति मूढस्य मतमस्य दुरात्मनः
Otherwise, all the worlds and the Daityas and Dānavas will follow the foolish mind of this evil-hearted one.
बहुशो वारि तोस्माभिरयं पापस्तथाप्यरेः । स्तुतिं करोति दुष्टानां वध एवोपकारकः
Many times we have punished this wicked one, yet he still praises our enemy; for the wicked, only death is beneficial.
पराशर उवाच। ततस्ते सत्वरा दैत्या बद्धा तं नागबन्धनैः । भर्तुराज्ञां पुरस्कृत्य चिक्षिपुः सलिलार्णवे
Parāśara said: Then the Daityas, acting swiftly and obeying their lord's command, bound him with serpent bonds and cast him into the ocean.
ततश्चचाल चलता प्रह्लादेन महार्णवः । उद्वेलोभूत्परं क्षोभमुपेत्य च समन्ततः
Then, as Prahlāda entered, the great ocean began to shake; it surged and was greatly agitated in every direction.
भूर्लोकमखिलं दृष्ट्वा प्लाव्यमानं महाम्भसा । हिरण्यकशिपुर्दैत्यानिदमाह महामते
Seeing the entire earth being flooded by the great waters, Hiraṇyakaśipu, wise among the Daityas, spoke to them thus:
हिरण्यकशिपुरुवाच। दैतेयाः सकलैः शैलैरत्रैव वरुणालये । निश्छिद्रै ः! सर्वशः सर्वैश्चीयतामेष दुर्मतिः
Hiraṇyakaśipu said: O Daityas, with all the mountains, block this wicked one here in the abode of Varuṇa, sealing every gap completely!
नाग्निर्दहति नैवायं शस्त्रैश्छिन्नो न चोरगैः । क्षयं नीतो न वातेन न विषेण न कृत्यया
Fire does not burn him, nor is he cut by weapons, nor destroyed by serpents, nor by wind, nor by poison, nor by spells.
न मायाभिर्न चैवोच्चात्पातितो न च दिग्गजैः । बालोतिदुष्टचित्तोयं नानेनार्थोस्ति जीवता
He is not overcome by illusions, nor cast down, nor subdued by the elephants of the quarters; this child, whose mind is exceedingly wicked, is of no use alive.
तदेष तोयमध्ये तु समाक्रान्तो महीधरैः । तिष्ठत्वब्दसहस्रान्तं प्राणान्हास्यति दुर्मतिः
Therefore, let him remain in the midst of the waters, hemmed in by mountains, until a thousand years have passed; this evil-minded one will lose his life.
ततो दैत्यादानवाश्च पर्वतैस्तं महोदधौः । आक्रम्य चयनं चक्रुर्योजनानि सहस्रशः
Then the Daityas and Dānavas, having climbed upon mountains, constructed a great embankment in the vast ocean, stretching for thousands of yojanas.
स चितः पर्वतैरन्तः समुद्र स्य महामतिः । तुष्टावाह्निकवेलायामेकाग्रमतिरच्युतम्
That embankment, made of mountains within the ocean, was praised by the wise one with single-pointed mind, at the time of the daily ritual, addressing the imperishable one.
प्रह्लाद उवाच । नमस्ते पुण्डरीकाक्ष नमस्ते पुरुषोत्तम । नमस्ते सर्वलोकात्मन्नमस्ते तिग्मचक्रिणे
Prahlāda said: O lotus-eyed one, I bow to you; O supreme person, I bow to you; O soul of all worlds, I bow to you; O wielder of the sharp discus, I bow to you.
नमो ब्रह्मण्यदेवाय गोब्राह्मणहिताय च । जगद्धिताय कृष्णाय गोविन्दाय नमोनमः
Salutations to the god of the Vedas, benefactor of cows and Brahmins; salutations to Kṛṣṇa, the benefactor of the world, to Govinda, again and again.
ब्रह्मत्वे सृजते विश्वं स्थितौ पालयते पुनः । रुद्र रूपाय कल्पान्ते नमस्तुभ्यं त्रिमूर्तये
In the form of Brahmā you create the universe, in the form of Viṣṇu you preserve it, and again, in the form of Rudra, you dissolve it at the end of the age; salutations to you, the three-formed one.
देवा यक्षाः सुराः सिद्धा नागा गन्धर्वकिन्नराः । पिशाचा राक्षसाश्चैव मनुष्याः पशवस्तथा
The gods, Yakṣas, Suras, Siddhas, Nāgas, Gandharvas, Kinnaras, Piśācas, Rākṣasas, humans, and also animals—
पक्षिणस्थावराश्चैव पिपीलिकसरीसृपाः । भूम्यापोग्निर्नभोवायुः शब्दः स्पर्शस्तथा रसः
Birds, immobile beings, ants, reptiles, earth, water, fire, ether, air, sound, touch, and also taste—
रूपं गन्धो मनो बुद्धिरात्मा कालस्तथा गुणाः । एतेषां परमार्थश्च सर्वमेतत्त्वमच्युत
Form, smell, mind, intellect, self, time, and qualities—all these, and their ultimate reality, O Acyuta, are indeed you.
विद्याविद्ये भवान्सत्यमसत्यं त्वं विषामृते । प्रवृत्तं च निवृत्तं च कर्म वेदोदितं भवान्
You are knowledge and ignorance, truth and untruth, poison and nectar; you are both action and renunciation, and the actions prescribed in the Vedas.
समस्तकर्मभोक्ता च कर्मोपकरणानि च । त्वमेव विष्णो सर्वाणि सर्वकर्मफलं च यत्
You alone, O Viṣṇu, are the enjoyer of all actions and the instruments of action; whatever is the fruit of all actions, that too is you.
मय्यन्यत्र तथान्येषु भूतेषु भुवनेषु च । तवैवाव्याप्तिरैश्वर्यगुणसंसूचिकी प्रभो
In me, in others, in all beings, and in all worlds, O Lord, your pervasion is only indicated by your qualities of sovereignty.
त्वां योगिनश्चिंतयन्ति त्वां यजंति च याजकाः । हव्यकव्यभुगेकस्त्वं पितृदेवस्वरूपधृक्
You are contemplated by yogis, you are worshipped by sacrificers; you alone are the enjoyer of offerings to gods and ancestors, bearing the forms of both.
रूपं महत्ते स्थितमत्र विश्वं ततश्च सूक्ष्मं जगदेतदीश । रूपामि सर्वाणि च भूतभेदास्तेष्वन्तरात्माख्यमतीव सूक्ष्मम्
Your great form is established here as the universe, and then as the subtle world, O Lord; all forms and distinctions of beings are yours, and within them, the innermost self, exceedingly subtle.
तस्माच्च सूक्ष्मादिविश्षोणानामगोचरे यत्परमात्मरूपम् । किमप्यचिन्त्यं तव रूपमस्ति तस्मै नमस्ते पुरुषोत्तमाय
And beyond that subtlety, in what is imperceptible to the senses, is your supreme self; there is a form of yours, O Supreme Person, which is inconceivable—salutations to that.
सर्वभूतेषु सर्वात्मन्या शक्तिरपरा तव । गुणाश्रया नमस्तस्यै शाश्वतायै सुरेश्वर
In all beings, in all selves, your power, O Lord of gods, is the eternal one, resting on qualities; salutations to her.
यातीतगोचरा वाचां मनसां चाविश्षोणा । ज्ञानिज्ञानपरिच्छेद्या तां वन्दे स्वेश्वरीं पराम्
She is beyond the reach of speech and mind, O Viṣṇu; she cannot be grasped by knowledge or ignorance—salutations to that supreme sovereign power.
ॐ नमो वासुदेवाय तस्मै भगवते सदा । व्यतिरिक्तं न यस्यास्ति व्यतिरिक्तोखिलस्य यः
Om, salutations always to that blessed Vāsudeva, who is not separate from anything, and from whom nothing is separate.
नमस्तस्मै नमस्तस्मै नमस्तस्मै महात्मने । नाम रूपं न यस्यैको योस्तित्वेनोपलभ्यते
Salutations to that great soul, again and again; he who is not apprehended as either name or form, nor as a single entity.
