श्रीभगवानुवाच ।
सूर्याचन्द्रमसौ शश्वत्केशैर्मे अंशुसञ्ज्ञितैः ।
बोधयंस्तापयंश्चैव जगदुत्तिष्ठतः पृथक् ।
बोधनात्तापनाच्चैव जगतो हर्षणं भवेत् ।
अग्नीषोमकृतैरेभिः कर्मभिः पाण्डुनन्दन ॥ १२.३५२.२ ॥
The Blessed Lord said: The sun and moon, with my hair-like rays named aṃśu, ever awaken and heat the rising world, each in its own way. From awakening and heating comes joy to the world. O joy of the Pāṇḍus, by these deeds performed through Agni and Soma.
12.352.3
इडोपहूतयोगेन हरे भागं क्रतुष्वहम् ।
वर्णश्च मे हरिश्रेष्ठस्तस्माद्धरिरहं स्मृतः ॥ १२.३५२.३ ॥
Through the union invoked by Iḍā, O Hari, I have a share in the sacrifices. My colour, too, is the best of the tawny ones, and therefore I am remembered as Hari.
12.352.4
धाम सारो हि लोकानामृतं चैव विचारितम् ।
ऋतधामा ततो विप्रैः सत्यश्चाहं प्रकीर्तितः ॥ १२.३५२.४ ॥
I am the abode and essence of the worlds, and the nectar well considered. Therefore I have been proclaimed by the brahmins as Ṛtadhāman and as Satya.
12.352.5
नष्टां च धरणीं पूर्वमविन्दं वै गुहागताम् ।
गोविन्द इति मां देवा वाग्भिः समभितुष्टुवुः ॥ १२.३५२.५ ॥
Long ago I indeed found the lost earth that had gone into the cave, and therefore the gods praised me well with words, calling me Govinda.
12.352.6
शिपिविष्टेति चाख्यायां हीनरोमा च यो भवेत् ।
तेनाविष्टं हि यत्किञ्चिच्छिपिविष्टं हि तत्स्मृतम् ॥ १२.३५२.६ ॥
By the name Śipiviṣṭa, and whatever is pervaded by one who is hairless is indeed remembered as Śipiviṣṭa.
12.352.7
यास्को मामृषिरव्यग्रो नैकयज्ञेषु गीतवान् ।
शिपिविष्ट इति ह्यस्माद्गुह्यनामधरो ह्यहम् ॥ १२.३५२.७ ॥
The sage Yāska, undistracted, sang of me as Śipiviṣṭa in many sacrifices; therefore I bear a secret name.
12.352.8
स्तुत्वा मां शिपिविष्टेति यास्को ऋषिरुदारधीः ।
मत्प्रसादादधो नष्टं निरुक्तमभिजग्मिवान् ॥ १२.३५२.८ ॥
Having praised me as 'Śipiviṣṭa', the seer Yāska of noble mind regained, by my grace, the lost Nirukta.

क्षेत्रज्ञः सर्वभूतानां तस्मादहमजः स्मृतः ॥ १२.३५२.९ ॥
I was never born, I am not born, and I shall never be born. I am the knower of the field of all beings; therefore I am remembered as the unborn.
12.352.10
नोक्तपूर्वं मया क्षुद्रमश्लीलं वा कदाचन ।
ऋता ब्रह्मसुता सा मे सत्या देवी सरस्वती ॥ १२.३५२.१० ॥
Never before have I spoken anything base or obscene. Ṛta, daughter of Brahmā, that true goddess Sarasvatī, is mine.

सच्चासच्चैव कौन्तेय मयावेशितमात्मनि ।
पौष्करे ब्रह्मसदने सत्यं मामृषयो विदुः ॥ १२.३५२.११ ॥
Son of Kuntī, both being and non-being were made to enter the self by me. In the Brahma-seat at Puṣkara, the seers truly know me as this.
12.352.12

जन्मनीहाभवत्सत्त्वं पौर्विकं मे धनञ्जय ॥ १२.३५२.१२ ॥
I have never fallen from my essence; know that essence to be made by me. Dhanañjaya, here in birth my ancient essence came to be.
12.352.13

सात्वतज्ञानदृष्टोऽहं सात्वतः सात्वतां पतिः ॥ १२.३५२.१३ ॥
Regard me as Sātvata, joined to desireless action. Seen through Sātvata knowledge, I am Sātvata, and I am the lord of the Sātvatas.

कृषामि मेदिनीं पार्थ भूत्वा कार्ष्णायसो महान् ।
कृष्णो वर्णश्च मे यस्मात्तस्मात्कृष्णोऽहमर्जुन ॥ १२.३५२.१४ ॥
O Pārtha, becoming a great plough of iron, I till the earth. Because my colour is dark, therefore, O Arjuna, I am Kṛṣṇa.

वायुश्च तेजसा सार्धं वैकुण्ठत्वं ततो मम ॥ १२.३५२.१५ ॥
The earth, united by me with waters, the sky with air, and air together with fire — hence comes my state of Vaikuṇṭha.

तस्मान्न च्युतपूर्वोऽहमच्युतस्तेन कर्मणा ॥ १२.३५२.१६ ॥
Nirvāṇa, the supreme bliss — that, they say, is the highest dharma. Therefore I have never fallen before; by that action I am the Acyuta, the Imperishable.
12.352.17
पृथिवीनभसी चोभे विश्रुते विश्वलौकिके ।
तयोः सन्धारणार्थं हि मामधोक्षजमञ्जसा ॥ १२.३५२.१७ ॥
Earth and sky, both renowned throughout the whole world — for the sake of supporting those two, I am readily called Adhokṣaja.
12.352.18
निरुक्तं वेदविदुषो ये च शब्दार्थचिन्तकाः ।
ते मां गायन्ति प्राग्वंशे अधोक्षज इति स्थितिः ॥ १२.३५२.१८ ॥
Those who know the Vedas and think on the meaning of words — following the Nirukta, they praise me; in the ancient lineage 'Adhokṣaja' is the established tradition.
12.352.19
शब्द एकमतैरेष व्याहृतः परमर्षिभिः ।
नान्यो ह्यधोक्षजो लोके ऋते नारायणं प्रभुम् ॥ १२.३५२.१९ ॥

घृतार्चिरहमव्यग्रैर्वेदज्ञैः परिकीर्तितः ॥ १२.३५२.२० ॥
In the world, the ghee of my flame sustains the life-breath of creatures; by the steadfast knowers of the Vedas I am called Ghṛtārci, the flame of ghee.

पित्तं श्लेष्मा च वायुश्च एष सङ्घात उच्यते ॥ १२.३५२.२१ ॥
Three constituents, known and remembered as born of action, are bile, phlegm and wind; this combination is called the aggregate.
12.352.22
एतैश्च धार्यते जन्तुरेतैः क्षीणैश्च क्षीयते ।
आयुर्वेदविदस्तस्मात्त्रिधातुं मां प्रचक्षते ॥ १२.३५२.२२ ॥
By these a living being is sustained, and when these are diminished it wastes away; therefore the knowers of Āyurveda call me the three-constituted one.
12.352.23
वृषो हि भगवान्धर्मः ख्यातो लोकेषु भारत ।
नैघण्टुकपदाख्यातं विद्धि मां वृषमुत्तमम् ॥ १२.३५२.२३ ॥
Bhārata, the blessed Dharma is renowned in the worlds as the bull; know me, as explained in the glossary of words, to be the supreme bull.
12.352.24
कपिर्वराहः श्रेष्ठश्च धर्मश्च वृष उच्यते ।
तस्माद्वृषाकपिं प्राह कश्यपो मां प्रजापतिः ॥ १२.३५२.२४ ॥
Kapi, Varāha, the best, and Dharma are also called vṛṣa; therefore Kaśyapa, the lord of creatures, named me Vṛṣākapi.
12.352.25
न चादिं न मध्यं तथा नैव चान्तं कदाचिद्विदन्ते सुराश्चासुराश्च ।
अनाद्यो ह्यमध्यस्तथा चाप्यनन्तः प्रगीतोऽहमीशो विभुर्लोकसाक्षी ॥ १२.३५२.२५ ॥
Neither beginning, nor middle, nor end ever do gods and demons know; for I am declared without beginning, without middle, and endless, the Lord, all-pervading, the witness of the worlds.
12.352.26
शुचीनि श्रवणीयानि शृणोमीह धनञ्जय ।
न च पापानि गृह्णामि ततोऽहं वै शुचिश्रवाः ॥ १२.३५२.२६ ॥
O Dhanañjaya, here I hear only pure and worthy-to-be-heard things; I do not take up sins, and therefore I am indeed Śucī-śravā, pure of hearing.

एकशृङ्गः पुरा भूत्वा वराहो दिव्यदर्शनः ।
इमामुद्धृतवान्भूमिमेकशृङ्गस्ततो ह्यहम् ॥ १२.३५२.२७ ॥
Formerly, having become a one-horned boar of divine appearance, I lifted up this earth; therefore I am one-horned indeed.

त्रिककुत्तेन विख्यातः शरीरस्य तु मापनात् ॥ १२.३५२.२८ ॥

स प्रजापतिरेवाहं चेतनात्सर्वलोककृत् ॥ १२.३५२.२९ ॥
He who is called Virinci by those who contemplate the knowledge of Kapila, that same Prajāpati am I; by my consciousness I am the creator of all worlds.

योगैः सम्पूज्यते नित्यं स एवाहं विभुः स्मृतः ॥ १२.३५२.३१ ॥

सहस्रशाखं यत्साम ये वै वेदविदो जनाः ॥ १२.३५२.३२ ॥

यस्मिञ्शाखा यजुर्वेदे सोऽहमाध्वर्यवे स्मृतः ॥ १२.३५२.३३ ॥

कल्पयन्ति हि मां विप्रा अथर्वाणविदस्तथा ॥ १२.३५२.३४ ॥
The Atharva-Veda, with its five kalpas and enlarged by rites, the brahmins and the knowers of the Atharvan likewise determine to be mine.

सोऽहमेवोत्तरे भागे क्रमाक्षरविभागवित् ॥ १२.३५२.३६ ॥

रामादेशितमार्गेण मत्प्रसादान्महात्मना ।
पाञ्चालेन क्रमः प्राप्तस्तस्माद्भूतात्सनातनात् ॥ १२.३५२.३७ ॥

क्रमं प्रणीय शिक्षां च प्रणयित्वा स गालवः ॥ १२.३५२.३८ ॥
Having obtained a boon from Nārāyaṇa and attained the supreme yoga, having carried forward the succession and imparted instruction, he, Gālava, (did so as well).
12.352.39
कण्डरीकोऽथ राजा च ब्रह्मदत्तः प्रतापवान् ।
जातीमरणजं दुःखं स्मृत्वा स्मृत्वा पुनः पुनः ॥ १२.३५२.३९ ॥
Kaṇḍarīka and the mighty king Brahmadatta, remembering again and again the suffering born of birth and death.
12.352.40
पुराहमात्मजः पार्थ प्रथितः कारणान्तरे ।
धर्मस्य कुरुशार्दूल ततोऽहं धर्मजः स्मृतः ॥ १२.३५२.४० ॥
Pārtha, formerly, for another reason, I became renowned as the son of Dharma; therefore, tiger among the Kurus, I am remembered as Dharmaja.
12.352.41
नरनारायणौ पूर्वं तपस्तेपतुरव्ययम् ।
धर्मयानं समारूढौ पर्वते गन्धमादने ॥ १२.३५२.४१ ॥
Nara and Nārāyaṇa formerly performed imperishable austerity on Mount Gandhamādana, having mounted the vehicle of Dharma.
12.352.42
तत्कालसमयं चैव दक्षयज्ञो बभूव ह ।
न चैवाकल्पयद्भागं दक्षो रुद्रस्य भारत ॥ १२.३५२.४२ ॥
At that very time Dakṣa's sacrifice came to be; and, O Bhārata, Dakṣa indeed did not assign a share to Rudra.
12.352.43
ततो दधीचिवचनाद्दक्षयज्ञमपाहरत् ।
ससर्ज शूलं क्रोधेन प्रज्वलन्तं मुहुर्मुहुः ॥ १२.३५२.४३ ॥
Then, at the word of Dadhīci, he seized Dakṣa's sacrifice, and in anger hurled his trident blazing again and again.
12.352.44
तच्छूलं भस्मसात्कृत्वा दक्षयज्ञं सविस्तरम् ।
आवयोः सहसागच्छद्बदर्याश्रममन्तिकात् ॥ १२.३५२.४४ ॥
That trident, having reduced Dakṣa's sacrifice entirely to ashes, suddenly came to the Badarī hermitage near us both.
12.352.45
ततः स्वतेजसाविष्टाः केशा नारायणस्य ह ।
बभूवुर्मुञ्जवर्णास्तु ततोऽहं मुञ्जकेशवान् ॥ १२.३५२.४५ ॥
Then the hair of Nārāyaṇa, filled with his own splendor, became the color of muñja grass; therefore I am Muñjakeśa, the one with muñja-colored hair.
12.352.46
तच्च शूलं विनिर्धूतं हुङ्कारेण महात्मना ।
जगाम शङ्करकरं नारायणसमाहतम् ॥ १२.३५२.४६ ॥
And that trident, shaken off with a hum by the great-souled one, struck by Nārāyaṇa, went back into Śaṅkara's hand.
12.352.47
अथ रुद्र उपाधावत्तावृषी तपसान्वितौ ।
तत एनं समुद्धूतं कण्ठे जग्राह पाणिना ॥ १२.३५२.४७ ॥
Then Rudra rushed toward those two sages, endowed with asceticism; then, lifting him up, he seized him by the throat with his hand.
12.352.48
अथ रुद्रविघातार्थमिषीकां जगृहे नरः ।
मन्त्रैश्च संयुयोजाशु सोऽभवत्परशुर्महान् ॥ १२.३५२.४८ ॥
Then Nara took a reed-stalk for the purpose of striking Rudra, and quickly joined it with mantras; it became a great axe.
12.352.49
क्षिप्तश्च सहसा रुद्रे खण्डनं प्राप्तवांस्तदा ।
ततोऽहं खण्डपरशुः स्मृतः परशुखण्डनात् ॥ १२.३५२.४९ ॥
And when suddenly hurled at Rudra, it was cut through; therefore I am remembered as Khaṇḍaparaśu, from being cut by the axe.
12.352.50
अस्मिन्युद्धे तु वार्ष्णेय त्रैलोक्यमथने तदा ।
जयं कः प्राप्तवांस्तत्र शंसैतन्मे जनार्दन ॥ १२.३५२.५० ॥
O descendant of Vṛṣṇi, O Janārdana, in that battle which churned the three worlds, who obtained victory? Tell me this.
12.352.51
श्रीभगवानुवाच ।
तयोः संलग्नयोर्युद्धे रुद्रनारायणात्मनोः ।
उद्विग्नाः सहसा कृत्स्ना लोकाः सर्वेऽभवंस्तदा ॥ १२.३५२.५१ ॥
The blessed Lord said: When those two, whose selves were Rudra and Nārāyaṇa, locked in battle, then all the worlds were suddenly agitated.
12.352.52
नागृह्णात्पावकः शुभ्रं मखेषु सुहुतं हविः ।
वेदा न प्रतिभान्ति स्म ऋषीणां भावितात्मनाम् ॥ १२.३५२.५२ ॥
The fire did not accept the pure oblation well offered in sacrifices; the Vedas did not shine forth for the sages whose souls were purified.
12.352.53
देवान्रजस्तमश्चैव समाविविशतुस्तदा ।
वसुधा सञ्चकम्पेऽथ नभश्च विपफाल ह ॥ १२.३५२.५३ ॥
Then passion and darkness entirely entered the gods; the earth trembled violently, and the sky split open.
12.352.54
निष्प्रभाणि च तेजांसि ब्रह्मा चैवासनाच्च्युतः ।
अगाच्छोषं समुद्रश्च हिमवांश्च व्यशीर्यत ॥ १२.३५२.५४ ॥
The splendours lost their brilliance, and Brahmā too fell from his seat; the ocean went dry, and the Himālaya was shattered.
12.352.55
तस्मिन्नेवं समुत्पन्ने निमित्ते पाण्डुनन्दन ।
ब्रह्मा वृतो देवगणैरृषिभिश्च महात्मभिः ॥ १२.३५२.५५ ॥
O son of Pāṇḍu, when that omen had thus arisen, Brahmā was surrounded by hosts of gods and by the great-souled sages.
12.352.56
साञ्जलिप्रग्रहो भूत्वा चतुर्वक्त्रो निरुक्तगः ।
उवाच वचनं रुद्रं लोकानामस्तु वै शिवम् ॥ १२.३५२.५६ ॥
With palms joined, the four-faced one spoke these words to Rudra: "May there be good fortune for the worlds."
12.352.57
यदक्षरमथाव्यक्तमीशं लोकस्य भावनम् ।
कूटस्थं कर्तृनिर्द्वंद्वमकर्तेति च यं विदुः ॥ १२.३५२.५७ ॥
He who is imperishable and unmanifest, the lord and sustainer of the world, abiding as the unchanging base, the agent beyond all dualities, whom they know as the non-agent.
12.352.58
व्यक्तिभावगतस्यास्य एका मूर्तिरियं शिवा ।
नरो नारायणश्चैव जातौ धर्मकुलोद्वहौ ॥ १२.३५२.५८ ॥
This single auspicious form of his, which has entered manifest existence: Nara and Nārāyaṇa, the two bearers of the lineage of dharma, were born.
12.352.59
तपसा महता युक्तौ देवश्रेष्ठौ महाव्रतौ ।
अहं प्रसादजस्तस्य कस्मिंश्चित्कारणान्तरे ॥ १२.३५२.५९ ॥
Those two are endowed with great austerity, the best of gods, of great vows. By his grace I was born, for some other purpose.
12.352.60
मया च सार्धं वरदं विबुधैश्च महर्षिभिः ।
प्रसादयाशु लोकानां शान्तिर्भवतु माचिरम् ॥ १२.३५२.६० ॥
Together with me, the gods and the great sages, quickly propitiate the giver of boons, so that peace may come to the worlds without delay.
12.352.61
ब्रह्मणा त्वेवमुक्तस्तु रुद्रः क्रोधाग्निमुत्सृजन् ।
प्रसादयामास ततो देवं नारायणं प्रभुम् ॥ १२.३५२.६१ ॥
When Brahmā had spoken thus, Rudra, releasing the fire of his anger, then propitiated the lord, the god Nārāyaṇa.
12.352.62
ततोऽथ वरदो देवो जितक्रोधो जितेन्द्रियः ।
प्रीतिमानभवत्तत्र रुद्रेण सह सङ्गतः ॥ १२.३५२.६२ ॥
Then the boon-giving god, who had conquered anger and the senses, was pleased and united with Rudra there.
12.352.63
ऋषिभिर्ब्रह्मणा चैव विबुधैश्च सुपूजितः ।
उवाच देवमीशानमीशः स जगतो हरिः ॥ १२.३५२.६३ ॥
Hari, lord of the world, well honored by the sages, Brahmā and the gods, spoke to the lord Īśāna.
12.352.64
यस्त्वां वेत्ति स मां वेत्ति यस्त्वामनु स मामनु ।
नावयोरन्तरं किञ्चिन्मा ते भूद्बुद्धिरन्यथा ॥ १२.३५२.६४ ॥
He who knows you knows me; he who follows you follows me. There is no difference at all between us; let your mind not be otherwise.
12.352.65
अद्य प्रभृति श्रीवत्सः शूलाङ्कोऽयं भवत्वयम् ।
मम पाण्यङ्कितश्चापि श्रीकण्ठस्त्वं भविष्यसि ॥ १२.३५२.६५ ॥
From today this Śrīvatsa mark shall be marked with your trident sign, and marked by my hand you shall be called Śrīkaṇṭha.
12.352.66
एवं लक्षणमुत्पाद्य परस्परकृतं तदा ।
सख्यं चैवातुलं कृत्वा रुद्रेण सहितावृषी ॥ १२.३५२.६६ ॥
Thus, having made the marks mutually, and having formed an incomparable friendship with Rudra, the two sages were united.
12.352.67
एष ते कथितः पार्थ नारायणजयो मृधे ।
नामानि चैव गुह्यानि निरुक्तानि च भारत ॥ १२.३५२.६७ ॥
O Pārtha, this victory of Nārāyaṇa in battle has been told to you; and O Bhārata, these secret names have been explained as well.
12.352.68
एवं बहुविधै रूपैश्चरामीह वसुन्धराम् ।
ब्रह्मलोकं च कौन्तेय गोलोकं च सनातनम् ॥ १२.३५२.६८ ॥
Thus, in many forms, I wander here upon the earth, and, son of Kuntī, even to the world of Brahmā and the eternal Goloka.
12.352.69
यस्तु ते सोऽग्रतो याति युद्धे सम्प्रत्युपस्थिते ।
तं विद्धि रुद्रं कौन्तेय देवदेवं कपर्दिनम् ॥ १२.३५२.६९ ॥
Know that he who goes before you when battle has now arrived, son of Kuntī, is Rudra, god of gods, the one with matted hair.
12.352.70
कालः स एव कथितः क्रोधजेति मया तव ।
निहतांस्तेन वै पूर्वं हतवानसि वै रिपून् ॥ १२.३५२.७० ॥
That very Time, which I told you was born of wrath, is the one by whom you formerly slew your enemies.
12.352.141
अप्रमेयप्रभावं तं देवदेवमुमापतिम् ।
नमस्व देवं प्रयतो विश्वेशं हरमव्ययम् ॥ १२.३५२.१४१ ॥
Bow with self-restraint to that god of gods of immeasurable power, the lord of Umā, Lord of the universe, Hara, the imperishable god.
