1.82.1
सर्वाणि कर्माणि समाप्य राजन् ।
गृहं परित्यज्य वनं गतोऽसि।
तत्त्वां पृच्छामि नहुषस्य पुत्र ।
केनासि तुल्यस्तपसा ययाते ॥ १.८२.१ ॥
O king, having completed all your rites, you have left your house and gone to the forest. Therefore, son of Nahuṣa, I ask you: O Yayāti, in austerity, to whom are you equal?
1.82.2
नाहं देवमनुष्येषु गन्धर्वेषु महर्षिषु ।
आत्मनस्तपसा तुल्यं कंचित्पश्यामि वासव ॥ १.८२.२ ॥
O Vāsava, among gods, men, Gandharvas and great sages, I see no one equal to my own austerity.
1.82.3
यदाऽवमंस्थाः सदृशः श्रेयसश्च अल्पीयसश्चाविदितप्रभावः ।
तस्माल्लोकास्त्वन्तवन्तस्तवे मे
क्षीणे पुण्ये पतिताऽस्यद्य राजन् ॥ १.८२.३ ॥
When you disdained those equal to you, superior and inferior, not knowing their power, therefore the worlds of you and of me are finite. O king, with your merit exhausted, today you have fallen.
1.82.4
सुरर्षिगन्धर्वनरावमाना-
त्क्षयं गता मे यदि शक्रलोकाः।
इच्छाम्यहं सुरलोकाद्विहीनः ।
सतां मध्ये पतितुं देवराज ॥ १.८२.४ ॥
O lord of the gods, if my worlds of Śakra have perished through disdain of gods, sages, Gandharvas and men, I wish, deprived of the world of the gods, to fall among the good.
1.82.5
सतां सकाशे पतिताऽसि राजं-
श्च्युतः प्रतिष्ठां यत्र लब्धासि भूयः।
एतद्विदित्वा च पुनर्ययाते ।
त्वं माऽवमंस्थाः सदृशः श्रेयसश्च ॥ १.८२.५ ॥
O king, you have fallen in the presence of the good, and from there, though fallen, you will again obtain a firm place. O Yayāti, knowing this, do not again disdain those equal to you or superior.
1.82.6
ततः प्रहायामरराजजुष्टा-
न्पुण्याँल्लोकान्पतमानं ययातिम्।
संप्रेक्ष्य राजर्षिवरोऽष्टकस्त-
मुवाच सद्धर्मविधानगोप्ता ॥ १.८२.६ ॥
Then Aṣṭaka, best of royal sages and guardian of the rules of true dharma, seeing Yayāti falling from the meritorious worlds loved by the king of the gods, spoke to him.
1.82.7
कस्त्वं युवा वासवतुल्यरूपः ।
स्वतेजसा दीप्यमानो यथाऽग्निः।
पतस्युदीर्णाम्बुधरान्धकारा-
त्खात्खेचराणां प्रवरो यथाऽर्कः ॥ १.८२.७ ॥
Who are you, young and equal to Indra in form, blazing with your own radiance like fire, falling from the sky out of the darkness of rising thunderclouds, like the sun, foremost of the sky-wanderers?
1.82.8
दृष्ट्वा च त्वां सूर्यपथात्पतन्तं ।
वैश्वानरार्कद्युतिमप्रमेयम्।
किं नु स्विदेतत्पततीति सर्वे ।
वितर्कयन्तः परिमोहिताः स्मः ॥ १.८२.८ ॥
Seeing you falling from the path of the sun, bright as fire and sun, immeasurable, we were all bewildered, wondering: what is this that falls?
1.82.9
दृष्ट्वा च त्वां धिष्ठितं देवमार्गे ।
शक्रार्कविष्णुप्रतिमप्रभावम्।
अभ्युद्गतास्त्वां वयमद्य सर्वे ।
तत्त्वं प्रपाते तव जिज्ञासमानाः ॥ १.८२.९ ॥
Seeing you standing on the path of the gods, your power like that of Indra, the sun, and Viṣṇu, we have all come forward today, desiring to learn of this fall of yours.
1.82.10
न चापि त्वां धृष्णुमः प्रष्टुमग्रे ।
न च त्वमस्मान्पृच्छसि ये वयं स्मः।
तत्त्वां पृच्छामि स्पृहणीयरूप ।
कस्य त्वं वा किंनिमित्तं त्वमागाः ॥ १.८२.१० ॥
We do not dare to ask you first, nor do you ask us, who we are. Therefore, O one of desirable form, I ask you: whose are you, or for what reason have you come?
1.82.11
भयं तु ते व्येतु विषादमोहौ ।
त्यजाशु चैवेन्द्रसमप्रभाव।
त्वां वर्तमानं हि सतां सकाशे ।
नालं प्रसोढुं बलहाऽपि शक्रः ॥ १.८२.११ ॥
Let your fear depart, and despair and delusion as well. O one of might equal to Indra, abandon them quickly. Even Indra, the slayer of Bala, would not be able to bear you while you stand in the presence of the virtuous.
1.82.12
सन्तः प्रतिष्ठा हि सुखच्युतानां ।
सतां सदैवामरराजकल्प।
ते सङ्गताः स्थावरजङ्गमेशाः ।
प्रतिष्ठितस्त्वं सदृशेषु सत्सु ॥ १.८२.१२ ॥
For those fallen from happiness, the virtuous are indeed their support. O one like the king of the immortals, the virtuous are always a refuge. The lords of the moving and the unmoving have gathered here; you are established among equals, among the virtuous.
1.82.13
प्रभुरग्निः प्रतपने भूमिरावपने प्रभुः ।
प्रभुः सूर्यः प्रकाशित्वे सतां चाभ्यागतः प्रभुः ॥ १.८२.१३ ॥
Fire is lord in burning, earth is lord in sowing, the sun is lord in shining; and the guest who has come to the virtuous is lord as well.
