13.130.1
उक्तं पितामहेनेदं गवां दानमनुत्तमम् ।
विशेषेण नरेन्द्राणामिह धर्ममवेक्षताम् ॥ १३.१३०.१ ॥
The grandsire has spoken of this gift of cows as unsurpassed, especially for kings who look to dharma here.
13.130.2
राज्यं हि सततं दुःखमाश्रमाश्च सुदुर्विदाः ।
परिचारेषु वै दुःखं दुर्धरं चाकृतात्मभिः।
भूयिष्ठं च नरेन्द्राणां विद्यते न शुभा गतिः ॥ १३.१३०.२ ॥
Kingship is always full of sorrow, and the hermitage stages are very hard to know. There is sorrow in service, hard to bear for the unrestrained; and for kings, for the most part, there is no auspicious destiny.
13.130.3
पूयन्ते तत्र नियतं प्रयच्छन्तो वसुन्धराम् ।
सर्वे च कथिता धर्मास्त्वया मे कुरुनन्दन ॥ १३.१३०.३ ॥
There, those who give the earth are surely purified. Delight of the Kurus, you have declared to me all the dharmas.
13.130.4
एवमेव गवामुक्तं प्रदानं ते नृगेण ह ।
ऋषिणा नाचिकेतेन पूर्वमेव निदर्शितम् ॥ १३.१३०.४ ॥
Thus you have declared the gift of cows, which King Nṛga made; and formerly the sage Nāciketa too had shown it.
13.130.5
वेदोपनिषदे चैव सर्वकर्मसु दक्षिणाः ।
सर्वक्रतुषु चोद्दिष्टा भूमिर्गावोऽथ काञ्चनम् ॥ १३.१३०.५ ॥
In the Veda and the Upaniṣads, and in all rites and all sacrifices, land, cows and gold are prescribed as the fees.
13.130.6
तत्र श्रुतिस्तु परमा सुवर्णं दक्षिणेति वै ।
एतदिच्छाम्यहं श्रोतुं पितामह यथातथम् ॥ १३.१३०.६ ॥
There the revealed text holds gold to be the supreme sacrificial fee. Grandsire, I wish to hear this exactly as it is.
13.130.7
किं सुवर्णं कथं जातं कस्मिन्काले किमात्मकम् ।
किंदैव किंफलं चैव कस्माच्च परमुच्यते ॥ १३.१३०.७ ॥
What is gold, how did it arise, at what time, and of what nature is it? What is its deity and fruit, and why is it called supreme?
13.130.8
कस्माद्दानं सुवर्णस्य पूजयन्ति मनीषिणः ।
कस्माच्च दक्षिणार्थं तद्यज्ञकर्मसु शस्यते ॥ १३.१३०.८ ॥
Why do the wise honor the gift of gold, and why is it praised as dakṣiṇā in sacrificial rites?
13.130.9
कस्माच्च पावनं श्रेष्ठं भूमेर्गोभ्यश्च काञ्चनम् ।
परमं दक्षिणार्थे च तद्ब्रवीहि पितामह ॥ १३.१३०.९ ॥
Why is gold more purifying and excellent than land and cows, and why is it supreme for dakṣiṇā? Tell me, grandsire.
13.130.10
शृणु राजन्नवहितो बहुकारणविस्तरम् ।
जातरूपसमुत्पत्तिमनुभूतं च यन्मया ॥ १३.१३०.१० ॥
Listen attentively, O king, to the detailed account of many causes: the origin of gold, as I have experienced it.
13.130.11
पिता मम महातेजाः श्तनुर्निधनं गतः ।
तस्य दित्सुरहं श्राद्धं गङ्गाद्वारमुपागमम् ॥ १३.१३०.११ ॥
My father Śantanu, of great splendor, passed into death. Wishing to offer him the śrāddha, I went to Gaṅgādvāra.
13.130.12
तत्रागम्य पितुः पुत्र श्राद्धकर्म समारभम् ।
मातो मे जाह्नवी चात्र साहाय्यमकरोत्तदा ॥ १३.१३०.१२ ॥
Arriving there, son, I began the funeral rite for my father; and my mother Jāhnavī helped me here.
13.130.13
तत्रागतांस्तपस्सिद्धानुपवेश्य बहूनृषीन् ।
तोयप्रदानात्प्रभृति कार्याण्यहमथारभम् ॥ १३.१३०.१३ ॥
Having seated the many sages, accomplished by austerity, who had come there, beginning from the offering of water, I then began the rites.
13.130.14
तत्समाप्य यथोद्दिष्टं पूर्वकर्म समाहितः ।
दातुं निर्वपणं सम्यग्यथावदहमारभम् ॥ १३.१३०.१४ ॥
Having completed that preliminary rite as prescribed, attentive, I then began properly and duly to offer the nirvapaṇa.
13.130.15
ततस्तं दर्भविन्यासं भित्त्वा सुरुचिराङ्गदः ।
प्रलम्बाभरणो बाहुरुदतिष्ठद्विशाम्पते ॥ १३.१३०.१५ ॥
Then, piercing that arrangement of kuśa grass, an arm rose up with very beautiful armlets and hanging ornaments, O lord of the people.
13.130.16
मुहूर्तमपि तं दृष्ट्वा परं विस्मयमागमम् ।
प्रतिग्रहीता साक्षान्मे पितेति भरतर्षभ ॥ १३.१३०.१६ ॥
Having seen it for a moment, I was filled with great wonder: my own father himself was the directly receiving one, O bull of the Bharatas.
13.130.17
ततो मे पुनरेवासीत्संज्ञा सञ्चिन्त्य शास्त्रतः ।
नायं वेदेषु विहितो विधिर्हस्त इति प्रभो।
पिण्डो देयो नरेणेह ततो मतिरभून्मम ॥ १३.१३०.१७ ॥
Then my awareness returned to me. Reflecting according to the scriptures, O lord, I thought: the Vedas do not prescribe this rule, that the hand should be used; a man must give the piṇḍa here.
13.130.18
साक्षान्नेह मनुष्यस्य पिण्डं हि पितरः क्वचित् ।
गृह्णन्ति विहितं चेत्थं पिण्डो देयः कुशेष्विति ॥ १३.१३०.१८ ॥
Indeed, the ancestors never directly accept a piṇḍa given by a man's hand here; it is prescribed that the piṇḍa must be given on kuśa grass.
13.130.19
ततोऽहं तदनादृत्य पितुर्हस्तनिदर्शनम् ।
शास्त्रप्रामाण्यसूक्ष्मं तु विधइं पिण्डस्य संस्मरन् ॥ १३.१३०.१९ ॥
Then, disregarding my father's sign made with his hand, I acted so, keeping in mind the subtle rule of scripture concerning the offering of rice-balls.
13.130.20
ततो दर्भेषु तत्सर्वमददं भरतर्षभ ।
शास्त्रमार्गानुसारेण तद्विद्धि मनुजर्षभ ॥ १३.१३०.२० ॥
Then, O bull of the Bharatas, I offered all of that upon the kuśa grass. O bull among men, know that it was done in accordance with the path of scripture.
13.130.21
ततः सोऽन्तर्हितो बाहुः पितुर्मम जनाधिप ।
ततो मां दर्शयामासुः स्वप्नान्ते पितरस्तथा ॥ १३.१३०.२१ ॥
Then, O lord of men, that hand of my father vanished. Then at the end of the dream the ancestors likewise showed themselves to me.
13.130.22
प्रीयमाणास्तु मामूचुः प्रीताः स्म भरतर्षभ ।
विज्ञानेन तवानेन यन्न मुह्यसि धर्मतः ॥ १३.१३०.२२ ॥
Pleased indeed, they said to me, O bull of the Bharatas: 'We are pleased. By this understanding of yours you are not confused about dharma.'
13.130.23
त्वया हि कुर्वता शास्त्रं प्रमाणमिह पार्थिव ।
आत्मा धर्मः श्रुतं वेदाः पितरश्चर्षिभिः सह ॥ १३.१३०.२३ ॥
By you, acting here with scripture as your authority, O king — the self, dharma, what is heard, the Vedas, the ancestors together with the seers — all these are authority.
13.130.24
साक्षात्पितामहो ब्रह्मा गुरवोऽथ प्रजापतिः ।
प्रमाणमुपनीता वै स्थिताश्च न विचालिताः ॥ १३.१३०.२४ ॥
Brahmā the grandfather himself, the teachers, and the Lord of creatures were brought forward as authority, and stood firm, not shaken.
13.130.25
तदिदं सम्यगारब्धं त्वयाऽद्य भरतर्षभ ।
किन्तु भूमेर्गवां चार्थे सुवर्णं दीयतामिति ॥ १३.१३०.२५ ॥
Bull of the Bharatas, today you have rightly undertaken this. But gold should be given for the sake of the earth and the cows.
13.130.26
एवं वयं च धर्मश्च सर्वे चास्मत्पितामहाः ।
पाविता वै भविष्यन्ति पावनं हि परं हि तत् ॥ १३.१३०.२६ ॥
In this way we, dharma, and all our forefathers will be purified, for that is the supreme purifying act.
13.130.27
दश पूर्वान्दशैवान्यांस्तथा सन्तारयन्ति ते ।
सुवर्णं ये प्रयच्छन्ति एवं मत्पितरोऽब्रुवन् ॥ १३.१३०.२७ ॥
Those who give gold deliver ten forefathers before them and ten after them; thus my forefathers said.
13.130.28
ततोऽहं विस्मितो राजन्प्रतिबुद्धो विशाम्पते ।
सुवर्णदानेऽकरवं मतिं च भरतर्षभ ॥ १३.१३०.२८ ॥
Then, O king, lord of the people, I awoke astonished, and, bull of the Bharatas, I set my mind on the gift of gold.
13.130.29
इतिहासमिमं चापि शृणु राजन्पुरातनम् ।
जामदग्न्यं प्रति विभो धन्यमायुष्यमेव च ॥ १३.१३०.२९ ॥
Hear also this ancient tale, O king, concerning Jāmadagnya, O mighty one, which is auspicious and life-prolonging.
13.130.30
जामदग्न्येन रामेण तीव्ररोषान्वितेन वै ।
त्रिःसप्तकृत्वः पृथिवी कृता निःक्षत्रिया पुरा ॥ १३.१३०.३० ॥
Rāma, son of Jamadagni, filled with fierce anger, once made the earth without kṣatriyas twenty-one times.
13.130.31
ततो जित्वा महीं कृत्स्नां रामो राजीवलोचनः ।
आजहार क्रतुं वीरो ब्रह्मक्षत्रेण पूजितम् ॥ १३.१३०.३१ ॥
Then, having conquered the entire earth, the lotus-eyed hero Rāma performed a sacrifice honored by brahmins and kṣatriyas.
13.130.32
वाजिमेधं महाराज सर्वकामसमन्वितम् ।
पावनं सर्वभूतानां तेजोद्युतिविवर्धनम् ॥ १३.१३०.३२ ॥
O great king, it was the horse sacrifice, endowed with the fulfillment of all desires, purifying all beings, and increasing splendor and radiance.
13.130.33
विपाप्मा च स तेजस्वी तेन क्रतुफलेन च ।
नैवात्मनोऽथ लघुतां जामदग्न्योऽध्यगच्छत ॥ १३.१३०.३३ ॥
And that radiant son of Jamadagni, freed from sin by the fruit of that sacrifice, attained no diminishment in himself.
13.130.34
स तु क्रतुवरेणेष्ट्वा महात्मा दक्षिणावता ।
पप्रच्छागमसम्पन्नानृषीन्देवांश्च भारत ॥ १३.१३०.३४ ॥
Then, O Bhārata, that great-souled one, having worshipped with the best of sacrifices and with generous fees, asked the sages versed in scripture and the gods.
13.130.35
पावनं यत्परं नॄणामुग्रे कर्मणि वर्तताम् ।
तदुच्यतां महाभागा इति जागघृणोऽब्रवीत् ॥ १३.१३०.३५ ॥
"Tell me what is the highest purifier for men engaged in fierce deeds, O you greatly blessed ones," said the son of Jamadagni.
13.130.36
इत्युक्ता वेदशास्त्रज्ञास्तमूचुस्ते महर्षयः ।
राम विप्राः सत्क्रियन्तां वेदप्रामाण्यदर्शनात् ॥ १३.१३०.३६ ॥
Thus addressed, those great sages, knowers of the Veda and scripture, said to him: "O Rāma, let brahmins be honored, for the authority of the Veda is seen in them."
13.130.37
भूयश्च विप्रर्षिगणाः प्रष्टव्याः पावनं प्रति ।
ते यद्ब्रूर्महाप्राज्ञास्तच्चैव समुदाचर ॥ १३.१३०.३७ ॥
Again, the multitudes of brahmin sages should be asked about the means of purification; whatever those very wise ones say, that one should carry out well.
13.130.38
ततो वसिष्ठं देवर्षिमगस्त्यमथ काश्यपम् ।
तमेवार्तं महातेजाः पप्रच्छ भृगुनन्दनः ॥ १३.१३०.३८ ॥
Then the son of Bhṛgu, the greatly radiant one, asked the divine sage Vasiṣṭha, Agastya and Kāśyapa about that very afflicted man.
13.130.39
जाता मतिर्मे विप्रेन्द्राः कथं पूयेयमित्युत ।
केन वा कर्मयोगेन प्रदानेनेह केन वा ॥ १३.१३०.३९ ॥
O best of brahmins, a thought has arisen in me: how might I be purified — by what discipline of action, or by what giving, or by what means here?
13.130.40
यदि वोऽनुग्रहकृता बुद्धिर्मां प्रति सत्तमाः ।
प्रबूत पावनं किं मे भवेदिति तपोधनाः ॥ १३.१३०.४० ॥
O best of the good, if your intention is moved by favour toward me, declare, O wealthy-in-austerity ones, what would be purifying for me.
13.130.41
गाश्च भूमिं च वित्तं च दत्त्वेह भृगुनन्दन ।
पापकृत्पूयते मर्त्य इति भार्गव शुश्रुम ॥ १३.१३०.४१ ॥
O son of Bhṛgu, by giving cows, land and wealth here, even a sinner, mortal, is purified — thus, O descendant of Bhṛgu, we have heard.
13.130.42
अन्यद्दानं तु विप्रर्षे श्रूयतां पावनं महत् ।
दिव्यमत्यद्भुताकारमपत्यं जातवेदसः ॥ १३.१३०.४२ ॥
O brahmin sage, hear another great purifying gift: the offspring of Jātavedas (Agni), divine and of most wondrous form.
13.130.43
दग्ध्वा लोकान्पुरा वीर्यात्सम्भूतमिह शुश्रुम ।
सुवर्णमिति विख्यातं तद्ददत्सिद्धिमेष्यसि ॥ १३.१३०.४३ ॥
Having burned the worlds long ago, it was born from his power, we have heard here. Known as 'suvarṇa' (gold), the one who gives it will attain success.
13.130.44
ततोऽब्रवीद्वसिष्ठस्तं भगवान्संशितव्रतः ।
शृणु राम यथोत्पन्नं सुवर्णमनलप्रभम् ॥ १३.१३०.४४ ॥
Then the venerable Vasiṣṭha, of firm vows, said to him: Listen, Rāma, to how gold, radiant as fire, came into being.
13.130.45
फलं दास्यति ते यत्तु दाने परमिहोच्यते ।
सुवर्णं यच्च यस्माच्च यथा च गुणवत्तमम् ॥ १३.१३०.४५ ॥
The supreme fruit that is said to come from giving here, it will give to you; what gold is, from what it comes, and how it is most excellent in virtue.
13.130.46
तन्निबोध महाबाहो सर्वं निगदतो मम ।
अग्निषोमात्मकमिदं सुवर्णं विद्दि निश्चये ॥ १३.१३०.४६ ॥
Understand all of this that I am telling you, O mighty-armed one. Know with certainty that this gold is composed of fire and soma.
13.130.47
अजोऽग्निर्वरुणो मेषः सूर्योऽश्च इति दर्शनम् ।
कुञ्जराश्च मृगा नागा महिषाश्चासुरा इति ॥ १३.१३०.४७ ॥
It appears as the goat, Agni, Varuṇa, the ram, the sun, and the horse; so too the elephants, the deer, the serpents, the buffaloes, and the asuras.
13.130.48
कुक्कुटाश्च वराहाश्च राक्षसा भृगुनन्दन ।
इडा गावः पयः सोमो भूमिरित्येव च स्मृतिः ॥ १३.१३०.४८ ॥
O son of Bhṛgu, the cocks, the boars, and the rākṣasas too; Iḍā, the cows, milk, soma, and the earth—so it is recalled.
13.130.49
जगत्सर्वं च निर्मथ्य तेजोराशिः समुत्थितः ।
सुवर्णमेभ्यो विप्रर्षे रत्नं परममुत्तमम् ॥ १३.१३०.४९ ॥
Having churned up the whole world, a mass of radiance arose. O sage among brahmins, from these came gold, the supreme and best jewel.
13.130.50
एतस्मात्कारणाद्देवा गन्धर्वोरगराक्षसाः ।
मनुष्याश्च पिशाचाश्च प्रयता धारयन्ति तत् ॥ १३.१३०.५० ॥
For this reason the gods, gandharvas, serpents, rakshasas, humans and piśācas devoutly wear it.
13.130.51
मुकुटैरङ्गदयुतैरलङ्कारैः पृथग्विधैः ।
सुवर्णविकृतैस्तत्र विराजन्ते भृगूत्तम ॥ १३.१३०.५१ ॥
Adorned with crowns, armlets and ornaments of many kinds made of gold, they shine there, O best of the Bhṛgus.
13.130.52
तस्मात्सर्वपवित्रेभ्यः पवित्रं परमं स्मृतम् ।
भूमेर्गोभ्योऽथ रत्नेभ्यस्तद्विद्धि मनुजर्षभ ॥ १३.१३०.५२ ॥
Therefore it is declared the most purifying of all purifying things, greater than earth, cows and jewels. Know this, O bull among men.
13.130.53
पृथिवीं गाश्च दत्त्वेह यच्चान्यदपि किञ्चन ।
विशिष्यते सुवर्णस्य दानं परमकं विभो ॥ १३.१३०.५३ ॥
Having given the earth, cows, or anything else here, the gift of gold surpasses them all. O mighty one, this is the supreme gift.
13.130.54
अक्षयं पावनं चैव सुवर्णममरद्युते ।
प्रयच्छ द्विजमुख्येभ्यः पावनं ह्येतदुत्तमम् ॥ १३.१३०.५४ ॥
O radiant immortal, gold is imperishable and purifying. Give it to the foremost of the twice-born, for this is indeed the most purifying of all.
13.130.55
सुवर्णमेव सर्वासु दक्षिणासु विधीयते ।
सुवर्णं ये प्रयच्छन्ति सर्वदास्ते भवन्त्युत ॥ १३.१३०.५५ ॥
Gold alone is prescribed among all sacrificial gifts; those who always give gold become likewise.
13.130.56
देवतास्ते प्रयच्छन्ति ये सुवर्णं ददत्यथ ।
अग्निर्हि देवताः सर्वाः सुवर्णं च तदात्मकम् ॥ १३.१३०.५६ ॥
The gods bestow favour on those who give gold; for Agni is all the gods, and gold is of his very nature.
13.130.57
तस्मात्सुवर्णं ददता दत्ताः सर्वाः स्म देवताः ।
भवन्ति पुरुषव्याघ्र न ह्यतः परमं विदुः ॥ १३.१३०.५७ ॥
Therefore, through one who gives gold, all the gods are, as it were, bestowed. O tiger among men, they know nothing higher than this.
13.130.58
भूय एव च महात्म्यं सुवर्णस्य निबोध मे ।
गदतो मम विप्रर्षे सर्वशस्त्रभृतांवर ॥ १३.१३०.५८ ॥
Hear further of the greatness of gold, as I speak of it. O brahmin-sage, best of all wielders of weapons.
13.130.59
मया श्रुतमिदं पूर्वं पुराणे भृगुनन्दन ।
प्रजापतेः कथयतो मनोः स्वायंभुवस्य वै ॥ १३.१३०.५९ ॥
O son of Bhṛgu, I heard this formerly in the Purāṇa, when Prajāpati was relating it, and Manu Svāyambhuva.
13.130.60
शूलपाणेर्भगवतो रुद्रस्य च महात्मनः ।
गिरौ हिमवति श्रेष्ठे तदा भृगुकुलोद्वह ॥ १३.१३०.६० ॥
Of the trident-bearing blessed Rudra, the great-souled one, then on the foremost mountain Himavat — O bearer of the Bhṛgu lineage.
13.130.61
देव्या विवाहे निर्वृत्ते रुद्राण्या भृगुनन्दन ।
समागमे भगवतो देव्या सह महात्मनः ॥ १३.१३०.६१ ॥
O son of Bhṛgu, when the marriage of the goddess Rudrāṇī was completed, the venerable great-souled one came together with the goddess.
13.130.62
ततः सर्वे समुद्विग्रा देवा रुद्रमुपागमन् ।
ते महादेवमासीनं देवीं च वरदामुमाम्। ॥ १३.१३०.६२ ॥
Then all the gods, greatly agitated, approached Rudra. They saw the great god seated there, and the goddess Umā, bestower of boons.
13.130.63
प्रसाद्य शिरसा सर्वे रुद्रमूचुर्भृगूद्वह ।
अयं समागमो देव देव्या सह तवानघ। ॥ १३.१३०.६३ ॥
O best of the Bhṛgus, all of them, bowing their heads and propitiating Rudra, said: O god, O faultless one, this union is yours with the goddess.
13.130.64
तपस्विनस्तपस्विन्या तेजस्विन्याऽतितेजसः ।
अमोघतेजास्त्वं देव देवी चेयमुमा तथा। ॥ १३.१३०.६४ ॥
You are an ascetic, and she is an ascetic woman, radiant and of exceeding splendor. O god, your splendor is unfailing, and so too is this goddess Umā.
13.130.65
अपत्यं युवयोर्देव बलवद्भविता विभो ।
तन्नूनं त्रिषु लोकेषु न किञ्चिच्छेषयिष्यति ॥ १३.१३०.६५ ॥
O god, O lord, your offspring together will surely be mighty; certainly it will leave nothing remaining in the three worlds.
13.130.66
तदेभ्यः प्रणतेभ्यस्त्वं देवेभ्यः पृथुलोचन ।
वरं प्रयच्छ लोकेश त्रैलोक्यहितकाम्यया ॥ १३.१३०.६६ ॥
Therefore, O broad-eyed one, grant a boon to these gods who bow before you. O lord of the worlds, out of desire for the welfare of the three worlds.
13.130.67
अपत्यार्थं निगृह्णीष्व तेजः परमकं विभो ।
त्रैलोक्यसारौ हि युवां लोकं सन्तापयिष्यथ ॥ १३.१३०.६७ ॥
O mighty lord, restrain your supreme energy for the sake of offspring. You two are the essence of the three worlds; otherwise you will scorch the world.
13.130.68
तदपत्यं हि युवयोर्देवानभिभवेद्ध्रुवम् ।
न हि ते पृथिवी देवी न च द्यौर्न दिवं विभो ॥ १३.१३०.६८ ॥
A child of yours would certainly overpower the gods. O mighty lord, neither the goddess Earth, nor the sky, nor heaven can bear your energy.
13.130.69
नेदं धारयितुं शक्ताः समस्ता इति मे मतिः ।
तेजःप्रभावनिर्दग्धं तस्मात्सर्वमिदं जगत् ॥ १३.१३०.६९ ॥
In my view, none of them is able to bear this. Therefore, the whole world will be burnt up by the power of your energy.
13.130.70
तस्मात्प्रसादं भगवन्कर्तुमर्हसि नः प्रभो ।
न देव्यां सम्भवेत्पुत्रो भवतः सुरसत्तम।
धैर्यादेव निगृह्णीष्व तेजो ज्वलितमुत्तमम् ॥ १३.१३०.७० ॥
Therefore, O blessed lord, O master, be pleased to show us your grace. O best of gods, let no son be born to you through the goddess. Restrain by steadiness alone this blazing, supreme energy.
13.130.71
इति तेषां कथयतां भगवान्वृषभध्वजः ।
एवमस्त्विति देवांस्तान्विप्रर्षे प्रत्यभाषत ॥ १३.१३०.७१ ॥
As they spoke thus, the blessed lord with the bull on his banner replied to those gods, "So be it." Thus, O sage among the brahmins, he answered them.
13.130.72
इत्युक्त्वा चोर्ध्वमनयद्रेतो वृषभवाहनः ।
ऊर्ध्वरेषः समभवत्ततः प्रभृति चापि सः ॥ १३.१३०.७२ ॥
Having said this, the bull-mounted lord drew his seed upward. From then on, he became one whose seed flows upward.
13.130.73
रुद्राणीति ततः क्रुद्धा प्रजोच्छेद तदा कृते ।
देवानथाब्रवीत्तत्र स्त्रीभावात्परुषं वचः ॥ १३.१३०.७३ ॥
Then, angered at the cutting off of progeny, she spoke harsh words to the gods there, in her womanly state.
13.130.74
यस्मादपत्यकामो वै भर्ता मे विनिवर्तितः ।
तस्मात्सर्वे सुरा भूयमनपत्या भविष्यथ ॥ १३.१३०.७४ ॥
Because you turned away my husband, who desired offspring, therefore, O gods, all of you shall become childless.
13.130.75
प्रजोच्छेदो मम कृतो यस्माद्युष्माभिरद्य वै ।
तस्मात्प्रजा वः खगमाः सर्वेषां न भविष्यति ॥ १३.१३०.७५ ॥
Because today you have caused the cutting off of my progeny, therefore your offspring shall be like birds, and not of all.
13.130.76
पावकस्तु न तत्रासीच्छापकाले भृगूद्वह ।
देवा देव्यास्तथा शापादनपत्यास्ततोऽभवन् ॥ १३.१३०.७६ ॥
Fire was not there at the time of the curse, O best of the Bhṛgus; so the gods, by the goddess's curse, became childless.
13.130.77
रुद्रस्तु तेजोऽप्रतिमं धारयामास वै तदा ।
प्रस्कन्नं तु ततस्तस्मात्किंचित्तत्रापतद्भुवि ॥ १३.१३०.७७ ॥
But Rudra then held that incomparable energy; from it, what dropped fell there on the earth.
13.130.78
उत्पपात तदा वह्नौ ववृधे चाद्भुतोपमम् ।
तेजस्तेजसि संयुक्तमेकयोनित्वमागतम् ॥ १३.१३०.७८ ॥
Then it rose up into the fire and grew wondrously; energy joined with energy and came to a single source.
13.130.79
एतस्मिन्नेव काले तु देवाः शक्रपुरोगमाः ।
असुरस्तारको नाम तेन सन्तापिता भृशम् ॥ १३.१३०.७९ ॥
At that very time the gods, led by Śakra, were greatly tormented by an asura named Tāraka.
13.130.80
आदित्या वसवो रुद्रा मरुतोऽथाश्विनावपि ।
साध्याश्च सर्वे संत्रस्ता दैतेयस्य पराक्रमात् ॥ १३.१३०.८० ॥
The Ādityas, Vasus, Rudras, Maruts, both Aśvins and the Sādhyas were all terrified by the valour of the Daitya.

स्थानानि देवतानां हि विमानानि पुराणि च ।
ऋषीणां चाश्रमाश्चैव बभूवुरसुरैर्हृताः ॥ १३.१३०.८१ ॥
The dwellings of the gods, their celestial chariots and cities, and also the hermitages of the sages were seized by the asuras.

ते दीनमनसः सर्वे देवता ऋषयश्च ये ।
प्रजग्मुः शरणं देवं ब्रह्माणमजरं विभुम् ॥ १३.१३०.८२ ॥
All those gods and sages, downcast in mind, went for refuge to the god Brahmā, ageless and all-pervading.
