तां च पाण्डुरुवाह ॥ ४,१४.

पुनरपि अक्षयवीर्यशौर्यसंपत्पराक्रमगुणःसमाक्रान्तसकलत्रैलोकेश्वरप्रभावो दशाननो नामाभूत् ॥ ४,१४.
Again, endowed with inexhaustible strength, heroism, prosperity, and valor, possessing the power of all the lords of the three worlds, he became known as Dashanana.

Even as Shishupala, he developed intense enmity toward the Lord, who had descended as Pundarikanayana for the removal of the earth's burden.
भगवता च स निधनमुपानीतस्तत्रैव परमात्मभूते मनस एकाग्रतया सायुज्यमवाप ॥ ४,१४.
And by the Blessed Lord, he was brought to his end there itself, and through single-pointed concentration of mind upon the Supreme Self, he attained union with Him.
भगवान् यदि प्रसन्नो यथाभिलषितं ददाति तथा अग्रसन्नोपि निघ्नन् दिव्यमनुपमं स्थानं प्रयच्छति ॥ ४,१४.
If the Blessed Lord is pleased, He grants whatever is desired; likewise, even when confronting as an enemy and slaying, He bestows a divine and incomparable state.

Maitreya said: In the forms of Hiraṇyakaśipu and Rāvaṇa, though slain by Viṣṇu, he obtained enjoyments not attained even by the immortals.
न लयं तत्र तेनैव निहतः स कथं पुनः । संप्राप्तः शिशुपालत्वे सायुज्यं शाश्वते हरौ ॥ ४,१५.
Yet, being slain by Him, he did not attain dissolution then; how did he again, in the form of Śiśupāla, obtain eternal union with Hari?
एतदिच्छाम्यहं श्रोतुं सर्वधर्मभृत्तां वर । कौतूहलपरेणैतत्पृष्टो मे वक्तुमर्हसि ॥ ४,१५.
This I wish to hear from you, O best of those upholding all dharma; prompted by curiosity, I have asked this—please tell me.
श्रीपराशर उवाच दैत्येश्वरस्य वधायाशिललोकोत्पत्तिस्थितिविनाशकारिणा पूर्वं तनुग्रहणं कुर्वता नृसिंह रूपमाविष्कृतम् ॥ ४,१५.
Śrī Parāśara said: For the destruction of the lord of the Daityas, assuming a form that creates, sustains, and dissolves the worlds, the Lord first manifested as Narasiṃha.
तत्र च हिरण्यकशिपोर्विष्णुरयमित्येतन्न मनस्यभूत् ॥ ४,१५.
And there, the thought did not arise in Hiraṇyakaśipu's mind that this was Viṣṇu.
निरतिशयपुण्यसमुद्भूतमेतत्सत्त्वाजातमिति ॥ ४,१५.
He thought, 'This being has arisen from an unsurpassed accumulation of merit.'
रजोद्रेकप्रेरितैकाग्रमतिस्तद्भावनायोगात्ततोवाप्तवधहैतुकीं निरतिशयामेवाखिलत्रैलोक्यकारीणीं दशाननत्वे भोगसंपदमवाप ॥ ४,१५.
With a mind made one-pointed by the surge of passion, and through the practice of that contemplation, he attained, in the form of Daśānana, a state of supreme enjoyment and prosperity, which affects all the three worlds, as a result of the cause of his death.
न तु स तस्मिन्ननादिनिधने परब्रह्मभूते भगवत्यनालंबिनि कृते मनसस्तल्लयमवाप ॥ ४,१५.
But in that Lord, who is the beginningless and endless Supreme Brahman, who is unattached, his mind did not attain dissolution.
एवं दशाननत्वेप्यनङ्गपराधीनतया जानकीसमासक्तचेतसा भगवता दाशरथि रूपधारिणा हतस्य तद्रूपदर्शनमेवासीत्नायमच्युत इत्यासक्तिर्विपद्यतोन्तःकरणे मानुषबुद्धिरेव केवलमस्याभूत् ॥ ४,१५.
Thus, even in the form of Daśānana, being subject to the sway of desire and with his mind attached to Jānakī, when slain by the Lord in the form of the son of Daśaratha, his perception was only of that form; there was no attachment to the imperishable one—his inner mind was overcome by merely human understanding.
पुनरप्यच्युतविनिपातमात्रफलमखिलभूमण्डलश्लाघ्यचेदिराजकुले जन्म अव्याहतैश्वर्यं शिशुपालत्वेप्यवाप ॥ ४,१५.
Again, as the fruit of falling by the hand of the Imperishable, he was born in the illustrious royal line of Cedi, praised throughout the world, and even as Śiśupāla, he enjoyed unobstructed sovereignty.
