रणे देहं परित्यज्य यत्र तिष्ठति मे पतिः । अनेनैव शरीरेण तत्र स्याम् एतदङ्गना
After abandoning my body in battle, wherever my husband abides, may I, with this very body, be present there as his wife.
एवम् अस्तु त्वयाविघ्नं पूजितास्मि सुते चिरम् । अनन्यभावया देवि पुष्पधूपसपर्यया
So be it; you have long worshipped me without obstacle, O daughter, with single-minded devotion, with flowers, incense, and service, O Devi.
अथ तद्देशलीलायां फुल्लायां तद्वरोदयात् । पूर्वलीलाब्रवीद् देवीं सन्देहलुलिताशया
Then, as Lila’s wish blossomed in that place, prompted by the granting of the boon, the former Lila, her mind wavering with doubt, spoke to the goddess.
ये सत्यकामास् सत्यैकसङ्कल्पा ब्रह्मरूपिणः । त्वादृशास् सर्वम् एवाशु तेषां सिद्ध्यत्य् अभीप्सितम्
Those whose desires are true, whose resolve is solely truth, who are of the nature of Brahman—such as you—whatever they wish for, all is quickly accomplished for them.
तत् तेनैव शरीरेण किम् अर्थं नाहम् ईश्वरि । लोकान्तरम् इमं नीता तं गिरिग्रामकं च वा
Why, with that very body, O Lady of noble complexion, have I not taken him to this other world, or to that mountain village?
न किञ्चित् कस्यचिद् अहं करोमि वरवर्णिनि । सर्वं सम्पादयत्य् आशु स्वयं जीवस् समीहितम्
I do nothing at all for anyone, O beautiful one; the living being himself swiftly accomplishes all that he intends.
अहं हि सरले ज्ञप्तिस् संविन्मात्राधिदेवता । प्रत्येकम् अस्मि चिच्छक्तिर् जीवशक्तिस्वरूपिणी
For I, O simple one, am pure awareness, the presiding deity of consciousness alone; in each being I am the power of consciousness, the very essence of the living force.
जीवस्योदेत्य् अहंशक्तिर् यस्य यस्य यथा यथा । भाति तत्फलदा नित्यं तस्य तस्य तथा तथा
The power of 'I' arises in each living being in its own way; as it appears, so it always bestows its corresponding result.
मां समाराधयन्त्य् आशु जीवशक्तिस् तथोदिता । यथा भवत्य् अदेहास्यां मुक्तास्मीति चिरं तदा
When the power of the living being thus awakened quickly worships me, then, when the body is gone, it long remains liberated, thinking, 'I am free.'
तेन तेन प्रकारेण त्वं मया सम्प्रबोधिता । तया युक्त्यामलं भावं नीतासि वरवर्णिनि
In this and that manner, I have awakened you, O Lady of radiant complexion; by that pure reasoning, you have been led to a stainless state.
अनयैवं भावनया बोधितास्मि चिरं यदा । तम् एवार्थं प्राप्नुवती तदा स्वचितिशक्तितः
When, for a long time, I have been awakened by this very contemplation, then, by the power of one's own awareness, one attains that very goal.
यस्य यस्य यथोदेति स्वचित्प्रयतनं चिरम् । फलं ददाति कालेन तस्य तस्य तथा तथा
For whomever, in whatever way, their own effort in awareness arises for a long time, in due course, it yields fruit for each accordingly.
तपो वा देवता वापि भूत्वा सैव चिद् अव्यया । फलं ददात्य् अथ स्वैरं नभःफलनिपातवत्
Whether it is austerity or a deity, it is only the imperishable consciousness that, becoming such, freely grants its fruit, just as the sky lets its fruit fall.
स्वसंविद्द्योतनाद् अन्यन् न किञ्चन कदाचन । फलं भवति तेनाशु यथेच्छसि तथा कुरु
Apart from the illumination of one's own awareness, nothing else ever produces a result; therefore, act as you wish, for the fruit comes swiftly in that way.
चिद्भाव एव ननु सर्वगतो ऽन्तरात्मा यश् चेतति प्रयतते च तद् एति तच्छ्रीः । रम्यं न रम्यम् अथवेति विचार्य तस्माद् यत् पावनं तद् अवबुध्य तद् अन्तर् आस्स्व
Is it not true that the state of consciousness alone, which is the inner self present everywhere, thinks and strives, and attains what it seeks, and its prosperity? Considering whether something is delightful or not, therefore, recognize what is pure and abide within it.
एवं सङ्कथयन्तीषु तासु तस्मिन् गृहोदरे । विदूरथः किम् अकरोन् निर्गत्य कुपितो गृहात्
While they were conversing in that house, what did Viduratha do, having left the house in anger?
विदूरथस् स्वसदनान् निर्गत्य परिवारितः । परिवारेण महता ऋक्षौघेनैव चन्द्रमाः
Viduratha, departing from his residence, was surrounded by a great retinue, like the moon encircled by a host of stars.
सन्नद्धसर्वावयवो लग्नहारविभूषणः । महाजयजयारावैस् सुरेन्द्र इव निर्गतः
Fully armored in every limb, adorned with necklaces and ornaments, he went forth amid loud cries of victory, like Indra, king of the gods.
समादिशन् योधगणं शृण्वन् मण्डलसंस्थितिम् । आलोकयन् वीररणान् आरुरोह नृपो रथम्
Commanding the ranks of warriors, listening to the arrangement of the formations, and observing the heroic battles, the king ascended his chariot.
भूतागारसमाकारं मुक्तामाणिक्यमण्डितम् । पताकापुञ्जकव्याप्तं द्युविमानम् इवागतम्
The chariot, resembling a mansion of spirits, decorated with pearls and rubies, covered with clusters of banners, appeared like a celestial vehicle.
चन्द्रभित्तिपरिस्रोतःप्रपतत्काञ्चनाङ्कुरम् । मुक्ताझणझणत्कारचारुविद्रुमकूवरम्
With golden shoots falling from the streams along the moonlit walls, and beautiful coral branches adorned with the jingling sound of pearls.
सुग्रीवैर् लक्षणोपेतैः प्रशस्तैर् धवलैः कृशैः । जवोन्नयनवेगेन प्रस्रवद्भिः खुरान् इव
With fine, white, slender horses of auspicious marks, excellent and swift, their speed causing their hooves to pour forth as if in a rush.
वायून् अपीव सहजान् असहद्भिर् गतिक्रमैः । प्रोज्झद्भिर् इव पश्चार्धम् आपिबद्भिर् इवाम्बरम्
With horses whose natural gaits could not be matched even by the wind, as if casting off their hind parts, as if drinking in the sky.
योजितैर् इव संपूर्णैश् चन्द्रैश् चामरदीप्तिभिः । अश्वैर् अष्टभिर् आबद्धम् आशापूरकहेषितैः
As if harnessed with eight full moons shining with the brilliance of yak-tail whisks, yoked with eight horses whose neighing seemed to fill the directions.
अथोदभूत् तदोद्दामनागाभ्ररवनिर्भरः । शैलभित्तिप्रतिध्वानदारुणो दुन्दुभिध्वनिः
Then arose a drum sound, intense as the roar of thunderclouds, echoing harshly against the mountain walls.
मत्तसैनिकनिर्मुक्तैर् व्याप्तैः कलकलारवैः । किङ्किणीजालनिध्वानैर् हेतिसङ्घट्टटाङ्कृतैः
Filled with the tumultuous cries of intoxicated soldiers, with the jingling of rows of bells, and the clashing of weapons.
धनुश्चटचटाशब्दैश् शरशीत्कारगायनैः । परस्परांसनिष्पिष्टकवचौघझणज्झणैः
With the crackling sounds of bows, the whistling songs of arrows, and the rattling of armor crushed against each other.
ज्वलदग्निटणत्कारैर् आर्तिमत्क्रन्दनारवैः । परस्परं भटाह्वानैर् बन्दीविक्षुब्धरोदनैः
With the crackling of blazing fire, the cries of the distressed, the mutual shouts of warriors, and the agitated wailing of bards.
शिलाघनीकृताशेषब्रह्माण्डकुहरो ध्वनिः । हस्तग्राह्यो भवद्भीमो दशाशाकुञ्जपूरकः
A sound, made dreadful and tangible, filled the hollow of the universe as if it were carved from stone, swelling to encompass all ten directions.
अथोदपतद् आदित्यपथपीवररोधकम् । रजोनिभेन भूपीठम् अम्बरोड्डयनोन्मुखम्
Then arose a mass that blocked the path of the sun, its dust-like darkness lifting the earth's surface toward the sky.
