रूढातिवाहिकीभावश् शवो भवति देहकः । निर्जलाम्भोदसदृशो निर्गन्धकुसुमोपमः
When the state of the subtle body is established, the physical body becomes like a corpse—like a waterless cloud, or a flower without fragrance.
अद्यारभ्य प्ररूढायाम् आतिवाहिकसंविदि । देहो विस्मृतिम् आयाति गर्भसंस्थेव यौवने
From today, as the awareness of the subtle body has matured, the body is forgotten, just as the state in the womb is forgotten in youth.
एकत्रिंशे ऽद्य दिवसे प्राप्ता वयम् इहाम्बरम् । प्रभाते मोहिते दास्यौ मयैते निद्रयाधुना
Today, on the thirty-first day, we have reached this sky; in the morning, these two maidservants were deluded by sleep.
तद् एहि यावल् लीलायै लीले सङ्कल्पलीलया । आत्मानं दर्शयावो ऽस्यै व्यवहारः प्रवर्तताम्
So come, Lila, let us reveal ourselves to her for the sake of play, by the play of thought, so that activity may proceed.
आवां तावद् इमे लीला पश्यत्व् इत्य् एव चिन्तिते । ज्ञप्त्या देव्यौ ततस् तत्र दृश्ये दीप्ते बभूवतुः
As soon as the thought arose, 'Let us appear before Lila,' the two goddesses became visible there, shining in that vision, by the power of awareness.
सा विदूरथलीलाथ समाकुलविलोचना । गृहम् आलोकयाम् आस तत् तेजःपुञ्जभासुरम्
Then Lila, wife of Viduratha, her eyes filled with wonder, gazed upon the house, radiant with that mass of light.
चन्द्रबिम्बाद् इवोत्कीर्णं धौतं हेमद्रवैर् इव । ज्वालाया इव शीतायास् सुमध्यम् इव भित्तिमत्
Like something carved from the moon's disk, washed with streams of gold, like a cool flame, or a slender vine with a solid support.
गृहम् आलोक्य पुरतो लीलाज्ञप्ती विलोक्यते । उत्थाय सम्भ्रमवती तयोः पादेषु सापतत्
Seeing the house before her, and perceiving the playful summons, she rose and, in haste, fell at their feet.
मज्जयायागते देव्यौ जयतं जीवितप्रदे । इह पूर्वम् अहं प्राप्ता भवत्योर् मार्गशोधिनी
When the queen Majjaya arrived, she said, 'Victory to you, givers of life! I have come here before you, as the one who clears your path.'
इत्य् उक्तवत्यां तस्यां ता मानिन्यो मत्तयौवनाः । उपाविशन् विष्टरेषु लता मेरुशिरस्स्व् इव
When she had spoken thus, those proud women, intoxicated by youth, sat down on the seats, like vines upon the summit of Mount Meru.
सुते वद कथं प्राप्ता त्वम् इमं देशम् आदितः । किं वृत्तं ते त्वया दृष्टं किम् इवाध्वनि कुत्र वा
'Child, tell us: how did you first arrive in this place? What happened to you, what did you see on the way, and where?'
देवि तस्मिन् प्रदेशे सा जातमूर्छा तदाभवम् । द्वितीयेन्दुकलेवाहं कल्पान्तज्वालयावृता
'Goddess, in that place I then fell into a swoon; I became like the waning crescent moon, enveloped by the flames of the end of an age.'
न चेतितं मया किञ्चित् समं विषमम् एव वा । ततस् तरलपक्ष्मान्ते विनिमील्य विलोचने
'I was not aware of anything, neither pleasant nor unpleasant; then, closing my eyes beneath trembling lashes...'
ततो मरणमूर्छान्ते पश्यामि परमेश्वरि । यावद् अभ्युत्थितास्म्य् आशु प्लुता च गगनोदरम्
'Then, at the end of that deathly swoon, O supreme goddess, I saw—until I suddenly arose and soared into the expanse of the sky.'
भूताकाशे ऽनिलरथं समारूढास्म्य् अहं तथा । आनीता गन्धलेखेव तेनाहम् इमम् आलयम्
In the space of elements, I have mounted the chariot of wind; just as a streak of fragrance is carried, so I have been brought to this abode.
इह पश्यामि सदनं नायकेनाभ्यलङ्कृतम् । दीप्तदीपं विविक्तं च महार्हशयनान्वितम्
Here I see a dwelling adorned by its master, shining with lamps, secluded, and furnished with a splendid bed.
पतिम् आलोकयामीमं यावद् एष विदूरथः । शेते कुसुमगुप्ताङ्गो मधुः पुष्पवने यथा
I behold my husband, Viduratha, lying with his body guarded by flowers, like honey in a garden of blossoms.
अथ सङ्ग्रामसंरम्भश्रमार्तो ऽयं स्वपित्य् अलम् । इति निद्रा मयास्यैवं देवेश्वरि न वारिता
Now, exhausted from the fervor of battle, he sleeps deeply; thus, O queen of gods, I did not prevent his slumber.
अनन्तरम् इमं देशं प्राप्ते देव्याव् इमे त्व् इति । यथानुभूतं कथितं मदनुग्रहकारिणि
Then, as the goddess arrived in this place, I recounted everything as experienced, O gracious one, for your favor.
हे हंसहारिगामिन्यौ लीले ललितलोचने । उत्थापयामो नृपतिं शवतल्पतलाद् इमम्
O you who move like swans, with playful and charming eyes, let us raise the king from this bed of corpses.
सेत्य् उक्त्वा मुमुचे जीवम् आमोदम् इव पद्मिनी । स समीरलवाकारस् तन्नासानिकटं ययौ
Having said this, she released her vital breath like a lotus its fragrance; it took the form of a breeze and went to his nostrils.
घ्राणकोशं विवेशाशु वंशरन्ध्रम् इवानिलः । स्ववासनाशतान्य् अन्तर् दधद् अब्धिर् मणीन् इव
Swiftly it entered the cavity of his nose, like wind through a bamboo hollow, carrying hundreds of its own impressions within, as the ocean holds gems.
अन्तस्स्थजीवं वदनं तस्य तत्कान्तिम् आययौ । पद्मस्यावग्रहे पद्मं प्रविष्टम् इव वारिणि
The radiance of the life within him shone forth from his face, just as a lotus appears to be entered by another lotus in water when its reflection is seen.
क्रमाद् अङ्गानि सर्वाणि सरसानि चकाशिरे । तस्य पुष्पाकर इव लताजालानि बूभृतः
Gradually, all his limbs gleamed with beauty, like clusters of flowers on the earth, or like networks of vines upon a hill.
अथाबभौ कलापूर्णस् स राकायाम् इवोडुराट् । भासयन् भवनं भूरि वदनेन्दुमरीचिभिः
Then he appeared, full of splendor, like the moon at its fullest, illuminating the dwelling with abundant rays from his moon-like face.
स्फारयाम् आस सो ऽङ्गानि रसवन्ति मृदूनि च । कनकोज्ज्वलकान्तीनि पल्लवानीव माधवः
He expanded his limbs, which were soft and full of vitality, shining with golden brilliance like fresh shoots in spring.
उन्मीलयम् आस दृशौ विमलालोककारणे । हारिण्यौ सुभगाभोगे चन्द्रार्कौ भुवनं यथा
He opened his eyes, which were the source of pure light, charming in their beauty, like the moon and sun illuminating the world.
उत्तस्थौ प्रोल्लसत्कायो विन्ध्याद्रिर् इव वृद्धिमान् । उवाच कस् स्थित इह प्रभाकपिशितालयः
He rose up, his body radiant, like the mighty Vindhya mountain growing in stature, and spoke: 'Who stands here, dwelling in this abode of shining brilliance?'
लीलाद्वयम् अथास्याग्रे प्रोवाचादिश्यताम् इति । स ददर्श पुरो नम्रं लीलाद्वयम् अवस्थितम्
Then, before him, the duality of play spoke, saying, 'Let it be commanded.' He saw, standing humbly before him, the duality of play.
समाधारं समाकारं समरूपं समस्थिति । समवाक्यं समोद्योगं समानन्दं समोदयम्
It was of equal support, equal form, equal appearance, equal speech, equal effort, equal joy, and equal arising.
