1.130.1
धृतराष्ट्रस्य पुत्राणामादितः कथितं त्वया ।
ऋषेः प्रसादात्तु शतं न च कन्या प्रकीर्तिता ॥ १.१३०.१ ॥
You told the sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra from the beginning: by the sage's grace, a hundred; but no daughter was mentioned.
1.130.2
वैश्यापुत्रो युयुत्सुश्च कन्या चैका शताधिका ।
गान्धारराजदुहिता शतपुत्रेति चानघ ॥ १.१३०.२ ॥
Yuyutsu, the son of a vaiśya woman, and one daughter beyond the hundred; the daughter of the king of Gandhāra was called the mother of a hundred sons, O sinless one.
1.130.3
उक्ता महर्षिणा तेन व्यासेनामिततेजसा ।
कथं त्विदानीं भगवन्कन्यां त्वं तु ब्रवीषि मे ॥ १.१३०.३ ॥
So was it told by that great sage Vyāsa of immeasurable splendour; how, then, O venerable one, do you now speak to me of a daughter?
1.130.4
यदि भागशतं पेशी कृता तेन महर्षिणा ।
न प्रजास्यति चेद्भूयः सौबलेयी कथंचन ॥ १.१३०.४ ॥
If that great sage made the lump of flesh into a hundred portions, will Subala's daughter then bear offspring again in any way?
1.130.5
कथं तु संभवस्तस्या दुःशलाया वदस्व मे ।
यथावदिह विप्रर्षे परं मेऽत्र कुतूहलम् ॥ १.१३०.५ ॥
Then how did her birth, Duḥśalā's, come about? Tell me truly here, O brahmin sage; this matter fills me with great curiosity.
1.130.6
साध्वयं प्रश्न उद्दिष्टः पाण्डवेय ब्रवीमि ते ।
तां मांसपेशीं भगवान्स्वयमेव महातपाः ॥ १.१३०.६ ॥
Well asked, this question, O son of Pāṇḍu. I will tell you how that lump of flesh was shaped by the venerable, great-austerity one himself.
1.130.7
शीताभिरद्भिरासिच्य भागं भागमकल्पयत् ।
यो यथा कल्पितो भागस्तंत धात्र्या तथा नृप ॥ १.१३०.७ ॥
Sprinkling them with cool water, he arranged each part separately, O king, just as the nurse had arranged that part.
1.130.8
घृतपूर्णेषु कुण्डेषु एकैकं प्राक्षिपत्तदा ।
एतस्मिन्नन्तरे साध्वी गान्धारी सुदृढव्रता ॥ १.१३०.८ ॥
Then he placed each one into the pots filled with ghee. In the meantime, the virtuous Gāndhārī, steadfast in her vows,
1.130.9
दुहितुः स्नेहसंयोगमनुध्याय वराङ्गना ।
नाब्रवीत्तमृषिं किंचिद्गौरवाच्च यशस्विनी।
मनसा चिन्तयद्देवी एतत्पुत्रशतं मम ॥ १.१३०.९ ॥
Reflecting on the bond of affection with her daughter, that excellent and glorious woman said nothing to the sage out of reverence. The goddess thought in her mind: "These shall be my hundred sons."
1.130.10
भविष्यति न संदेहो न ब्रवीत्यन्यथा मुनिः ।
ममेयं परमा तुष्टिर्दुहिता मे भवेद्यदि ॥ १.१३०.१० ॥
It will be so, without doubt; the sage does not speak otherwise. If I were to have a daughter, that would be my supreme contentment.
1.130.11
एका शताधिका बाला भविष्यति कनीयसी ।
ततो दौहित्रजाल्लोकादबाह्योऽसौ पतिर्मम ॥ १.१३०.११ ॥
One girl, more than a hundred, will be the youngest. Then, through the world born of a grandson, this husband of mine will not be excluded.
1.130.12
अधिका किल नारीणां प्रीतिर्जामातृजा भवेत् ।
यदि नाम ममापि स्याद्दुहितैका शताधिका ॥ १.१३०.१२ ॥
Indeed, a woman's affection is greater when it is born of a son-in-law. If I too had a single daughter, more than a hundred,
1.130.13
कृतकृत्या भवेयं वै पुत्रदौहित्रसंवृता ।
यदि सत्यं तपस्तप्तं दत्तं वाऽप्यथवा हुतम् ॥ १.१३०.१३ ॥
If I have truly performed austerity, given gifts, or offered sacrifice, then I shall be fulfilled, surrounded by sons and by a daughter's sons.
1.130.14
गुरवस्तोषिता वापि तथाऽस्तु दुहिता मम ।
एतस्मिन्नेव काले तु कृष्णद्वैपायनः स्वयम् ॥ १.१३०.१४ ॥
If the venerable teachers have been pleased, may my daughter also be so. At that very moment Kṛṣṇa Dvaipāyana himself came.
1.130.15
व्यभजत्स तदा पेशीं भगवानृषिसत्तमः ।
गण्यमानेषु कुण्डेषु शते पूर्णे महात्मना ॥ १.१३०.१५ ॥
Then the blessed best of sages divided the lump of flesh, while the great-souled one counted the vessels until the hundred was complete.
1.130.16
अभवच्चापरं खण्डं वामहस्ते तदा किल ।
गणयित्वा शतं पूर्णमंशानामाह सौबलीम् ॥ १.१३०.१६ ॥
Then another portion appeared in the left hand. Having counted the hundred portions to completion, he spoke to Saubalī (Gāndhārī).
1.130.17
पूर्णं पुत्रशतं त्वेतन्न मिथ्या वागुदाहृता ।
दैवयोगाच्च भागैकः परिशिष्टः शतात्परः ॥ १.१३०.१७ ॥
This is the completion of a hundred sons; my word has not been spoken falsely. By the working of fate, one portion remains beyond the hundred.
1.130.18
एषा ते सुभगा कन्या भविष्यति यतेप्सिता ।
ततोऽन्यं घृतकुम्भं च समानाय्य महातपाः ॥ १.१३०.१८ ॥
This shall be your fortunate daughter, as you have desired. Then the great ascetic, having brought another pot of ghee,
1.130.19
तं चापि प्राक्षिपत्तत्र कन्याभागं तपोधनः ।
संभूता चैव कालेन सर्वेषां च यवीयसी ॥ १.१३०.१९ ॥
The ascetic-wealthy sage also cast the girl's portion into it there; born in time, she was the youngest of all.
1.130.20
ऐतत्ते कथितं राजन्दुःशलाजन्म भारत ।
ब्रूहि राजेन्द्र किं भूयो वर्तयिष्यामि तेऽनघ ॥ १.१३०.२० ॥
Thus has the birth of Duḥśalā been told to you, O king, O descendant of Bharata. O lord of kings, O sinless one, speak: what more shall I recount to you?
