आराध्य त्वामभीप्संते कामानात्मभवक्षयम् । यदेते पुरुषा माया सैवेयं भगवंस्तव ॥ ५,३०.
Having worshipped you, they desire the fulfillment of wishes and the destruction of their own suffering; yet, O Blessed One, this too is your māyā.
मया त्वं पुत्रकामिन्या वैरिपक्षजयाय च । आराधितो न मोक्षाय मायाविलसितं हि तत् ॥ ५,३०.
By me, you were worshipped for the sake of obtaining a son and victory over enemies, not for liberation; such is the play of māyā.
कौपीनाच्छादनप्राया वाञ्छा कल्पद्रुमादपि । जायते यदपुण्यानां सोपराधः स्वदोषजः ॥ ५,३०.
The wish for even a mere loincloth as covering, if it arises in the unworthy, is more than the wish-fulfilling tree, for it is born of their own fault and offense.
तत्प्रसीदाखिलजगन्मायामोहकराव्यय । अज्ञानं ज्ञानसद्भावभूतं भूतेश नाशय ॥ ५,३०.
Therefore, be gracious, O imperishable one who casts the delusion of māyā over all the worlds; Lord of beings, destroy ignorance, which is the very presence of knowledge.
नमस्ते चक्रहस्ताय शार्ङ्गहस्ताय ते नमः । नन्दहस्ताय ते विष्णो शङ्खहस्ताय ते नमः ॥ ५,३०.
Salutations to you who hold the discus in your hand; salutations to you who hold the Śārṅga bow; O Viṣṇu, salutations to you who hold the Nanda club and the conch.
एतत्पश्यामि ते रूपं स्थूलचिह्नोपलक्षितम् । न जानामि परं यत्ते प्रसीद परमेश्वर ॥ ५,३०.
I see this form of yours, marked by gross signs; I do not know your supreme form—be gracious, O Supreme Lord.
श्रीपराशर उवाच अदित्यैवं स्तुतो विष्णुः प्रहस्याह सुरारणिम् । माता देवि त्वमस्माकं प्रसीद वरदा भव ॥ ५,३०.
Śrī Parāśara said: Thus praised, Viṣṇu, shining like the sun, smiled and spoke to the gods' mother: 'O goddess, you are our mother; be gracious and grant us a boon.'
अदिदिरुवाच एवमस्तु यथेच्छा ते त्वमशेषैः सुरासुरैः । अजेयः पुरुषव्याघ्र सर्त्यलोके भविष्यसि ॥ ५,३०.
Aditi said: 'So be it, as you wish. By all the gods and demons, O tiger among men, you will be unconquerable in the world of truth.'
श्रीपराशर उवाच ततः कृष्णस्य पत्नी च शक्रेण सहितादितिम् । सत्यभामा प्रणम्याह प्रसीदेति पुनः पुनः ॥ ५,३०.
Śrī Parāśara said: Then Satyabhāmā, the wife of Kṛṣṇa, together with Indra, bowed to Aditi and repeatedly asked her to be gracious.
अदितिरुवाच मत्प्रसादान्न ते सुभ्रु जरा वैरूप्यमेव वा । भविष्यत्यनवद्याङ्गि सुस्थिरं नवयौवनम् ॥ ५,३०.
Aditi said: 'By my grace, O beautiful one, you will never have old age or disfigurement; your lovely form will remain ever youthful and steady.'
श्रीपराशर उवाच अदित्या तु कृतानुज्ञो देवराजो जनार्दनम् । यथावत्पूजयामास बहुमानपुरःसरम् ॥ ५,३०.
Śrī Parāśara said: Having received Aditi's permission, the king of the gods worshipped Janārdana with great honor, as was proper.
शची च सत्यभामायै पारिजातस्य पुष्पकम् । न ददौ मानुषीं मत्वा स्वयं पुष्पैरलङ्कृता ॥ ५,३०.
And Śacī, thinking Satyabhāmā to be human, did not give her the flower of the Pārijāta tree, but adorned herself with the flowers instead.
ततो ददर्श कृष्णोऽपि सत्यभामासहायवान् । दवोद्यानानि हृद्यानि नन्दनादीनि सत्तम ॥ ५,३०.
Then Krishna, accompanied by Satyabhama, beheld the delightful celestial gardens, such as Nandana, O best of beings.
ददर्श च सुगन्धाढ्यं मञ्जरीपुञ्जधारिणम् । नित्याह्लादकरं ताम्रबालपल्लवशोभितम् ॥ ५,३०.
He saw the Parijata tree, rich in fragrance, bearing clusters of blossoms, ever bringing joy, adorned with tender, coppery-red young leaves.
मथ्यमानेऽमृते जातं जातरूपोपमत्वचम् । पारिजातं जगन्नाथः केशवः केशिसूदनः ॥ ५,३०.
The Lord of the world, Kesava, slayer of Kesi, saw the Parijata tree, which had arisen during the churning of the nectar, its bark resembling refined gold.
तुतोष परमप्रीत्या तरुराजमनुत्तमम् । तं दृष्ट्वा प्राह गोविन्दं सत्यभामा द्विजोत्तम । कस्मान्न द्वारकामेष नीयते कृष्ण पादपः ॥ ५,३०.
The supreme and peerless king of trees was greatly pleasing; seeing it, Satyabhama spoke to Govinda: 'Krishna, why is this tree not brought to Dvaraka?'
यदि चेत्त्वद्वचः सत्यं त्वमत्यर्थं प्रियेति मे । मद्गेहनिष्कुटार्थाय तदयं नीयतां तरुः ॥ ५,३०.
'If your words are truly sincere, and you are indeed so dear to me, then let this tree be taken for the adornment of my courtyard.'
न मे जांबवती तादृगभीष्टा न च रुक्मिणी । सत्ये यथा त्वमित्युक्तं त्वया कृष्णासकृत्प्रियम् ॥ ५,३०.
'Neither Jambavati nor Rukmini is as cherished by you as I am, as you have often said, Krishna, with loving words.'
सत्यं तद्यदि गोविन्द नोपचारकृतं मम । तदस्तु पारिजातोऽयं मम गेहविभूषणम् ॥ ५,३०.
'If that is truly so, Govinda, and not mere courtesy on your part, then let this Parijata be the ornament of my house.'
बिभ्रती पारिजातस्य केशपक्षेण मञ्जरीम् । सपत्नीनामहं मध्ये शोभेयमिति कामये ॥ ५,३०.
'Wearing a cluster of Parijata blossoms in my hair, I wish to shine among my co-wives.'
श्रीपराशर उवाच इत्युक्तःस प्रहस्यैनां पारिजातं गरुत्मति । आरोपयामास हरिस्तमूचुर्वनरक्षिणः ॥ ५,३०.
Sri Parashara said: Thus addressed, Hari smiled at her and placed the Parijata tree upon Garuda; then the guardians of the garden spoke.
भो शची देवराजस्य महिषी तत्परीग्रहम् । पारिजातं न गोविन्द हर्तुमर्हसि पादपम् ॥ ५,३०.
'O Govinda, this Parijata tree is the cherished possession of Saci, queen of the king of the gods; you ought not to take it.'
उत्पन्नो देवराजाय दत्तःसोऽपि ददौ पुनः । महिष्यै सुमहाभाग देव्यै शच्यै कुतूहलात् ॥ ५,३०.
'It arose for the king of the gods, who then gave it, out of curiosity, to his most fortunate queen, the goddess Saci.'
शचीविभूषणार्थाय देवैरमृतमन्थने । उत्पादितोऽयं न क्षेमी गृहीत्वैनं गमिष्यसि ॥ ५,३०.
'Created by the gods during the churning of the nectar for Saci’s adornment, this tree does not bring well-being; you will not prosper by taking it.'
देवराजो मुखप्रेक्षी यस्यास्तस्याः परिग्रहम् । मैढ्यात्प्रार्थयसे क्षेमी गृहीत्वैनं हि को व्रजेत् ॥ ५,३०.
'The king of the gods always gazes upon her face; for her sake he acquired it. Who, seeking their own welfare, would take it and depart?'
अवश्यमस्य देवेन्द्रो निष्कृतिं कृष्ण यास्यति । वज्रोद्यतकरं शक्रमनुयास्यन्ति चामराः ॥ ५,३०.
'Certainly, O Krishna, Indra will seek redress for this; the Maruts will follow Shakra, whose hand is raised with the thunderbolt.'
तदलं सकलैर्देवैर्विग्रहेण तवाच्युत । विपाककटु यत्कर्म तन्न शंसंति पण्डिताः ॥ ५,३०.
'Therefore, O Achyuta, let there be no conflict with all the gods; wise men do not praise actions whose results are bitter in the end.'
श्रीपराशर उवाच इत्युक्ते तैरुवाचैतान् सत्यभामातिकोपिनी । का शची पारिजातस्य को वा शक्रःसुराधिपः ॥ ५,३०.
Sri Parashara said: Thus addressed by them, Satyabhama, greatly angered, said: 'Who is Saci to the Parijata, or who is Shakra, lord of the gods?'
सामान्यःसर्वलोकस्य यद्येषोऽमृतमन्थने । समुत्पन्नस्तरुः कस्मादोको गृह्णाति वासवः ॥ ५,३०.
'If this tree arose from the churning of the nectar for the common benefit of all worlds, then why does Vasava alone possess it?'
यथा सुरा यथैवेन्दुर्यथा श्रीर्वनरक्षिणः । सामान्यःसर्वलोकस्य पारिजातस्तथा द्रुमः ॥ ५,३०.
'Just as the nectar, the moon, and Sri are for all the worlds, O guardians of the garden, so too is the Parijata tree common to all.'
