कथमस्मि त्वया ज्ञातः केन वा कथितोस्मि ते ।
एतदाचक्ष्व मे तत्त्वमिच्छसे चेन्मम प्रियम् ॥ १४.७.१ ॥
How did you come to know me, or who told you of me? If you wish to please me, tell me this truth.
14.7.2
सत्यं ते ब्रुवतः सर्वे सम्पत्स्यन्ते मनोरथाः ।
मिथ्या च ब्रुवतो मूर्धा शतधा ते स्फुटिष्यति ॥ १४.७.२ ॥
For you, speaking the truth, all your wishes will be fulfilled; but the head of one who speaks falsely will burst into a hundred pieces.
14.7.3
नारदेन भवान्मह्यमाख्यातो ह्यटता पथि ।
गुरुपुत्रो ममेति त्वं ततो मे प्रीतिरुत्तमा ॥ १४.७.३ ॥
Nārada, wandering on the road, told me about you, that you are the son of my teacher; and so I felt the highest joy.
14.7.4
सत्यमेतद्भवानाह स मां जानाति सत्रिणम् ।
कथयस्व तदेतन्मे क्वनु सम्प्रति नारदः ॥ १४.७.४ ॥
What you say is true; he knows me as one who sacrifices. Now tell me, where is Nārada at this moment?
14.7.5
भवन्तं कथयित्वा तु मम देवर्षिसत्तमः ।
ततो मामभ्यनुज्ञाय प्रविष्टो हव्यवाहनम् ॥ १४.७.५ ॥
Having told me about you, Nārada, best of the divine sages, took leave of me and entered the sacrificial fire.
14.7.6
श्रुत्वा तु पार्थिवस्यैत्संवर्तः प्रमुदं गतः ।
एतावदहमप्येवं शक्नुयामिति सोऽब्रवीत् ॥ १४.७.६ ॥
Having heard these words of the king, Saṃvarta was filled with joy and said, "If only I too could manage this much."
14.7.7
ततो मरुत्तमुन्मत्तो वाचा निर्भर्त्सयन्निव ।
रूक्षया ब्राह्मणि राजन्पुनः पुनरथाब्रवीत् ॥ १४.७.७ ॥
Then the maddened one, as if reproaching him with harsh words, O king, spoke again and again.
14.7.8
वातप्रधानेन मया स्वचित्तवशवर्तिना ।
एवं विकृतरूपेण कथं याजितुमिच्छसि ॥ १४.७.८ ॥
By me, dominated by wind, following the control of my own mind, in such a deformed form, how do you wish to have a sacrifice performed?
14.7.9
भ्राता मम समर्थश्च वासवेन च सङ्गतः ।
वर्तते याजने चैव तेन कर्माणि कारय ॥ १४.७.९ ॥
My brother is capable and allied with Vāsava; he is engaged in the sacrifice. Have the rites performed through him.
14.7.10
गार्हस्थ्यं चैव याज्याश्च सर्वा गृह्याश्च देवताः ।
पूर्वजेन ममाक्षिप्तं शरीरं वर्जितं त्विदम् ॥ १४.७.१० ॥
Householder's duties, all the sacrificial offerings, and all the domestic deities have been seized by my elder brother; only this body has been left out.

नाहं तेनाननुज्ञातस्त्वामाविक्षित कर्हिचित् ।
याजयेयं कथंचिद्वै स हि पूज्यतमो मम ॥ १४.७.११ ॥
Without his permission I would never instruct you nor officiate your sacrifice in any way, for he is most worthy of worship to me.
14.7.12
स त्वं बृहस्पतिं गच्च तमनुज्ञाप्य चाव्रज ।
ततोऽहं याजयिष्ये त्वां यदि यष्टुमिहेच्छसि ॥ १४.७.१२ ॥
Go to Bṛhaspati, obtain his permission, and then come back. Then, if you wish to sacrifice here, I shall officiate your sacrifice.
14.7.13
बृहस्पतिं गतः पूर्वमहं संवर्ते तच्छृणु ।
न मां कामयते याज्यं मुनिर्वासववारितः ॥ १४.७.१३ ॥
I went earlier to Bṛhaspati, Saṃvarta, listen to that. That sage, forbidden by Vāsava (Indra), does not wish to have me as his sacrificer.
14.7.14
अमरं याज्यमासाद्य याजयिष्ये न मानुषम् ।
शक्रेण प्रतिषिद्धोऽहं मरुत्तं मा स्म याजये ॥ १४.७.१४ ॥
Having obtained an immortal as the one to be sacrificed for, I shall not have a human priest perform the sacrifice. I have been forbidden by Śakra (Indra); therefore, do not sacrifice for Marutta.
14.7.15
स्पर्धते हि मया विप्र सदा हि स तु पार्थिवः ।
एवमस्त्विति चाप्युक्तो भ्रात्रा ते बलसूदनः ॥ १४.७.१५ ॥
O brahmin, he always competes with me; and that king (Indra) is always so. Even Balasūdana (Indra) was told 'So be it' by your brother.
14.7.16
स मामधिगतं प्रेम्णा याज्यत्वे न बुभूषति ।
देवराजं समाश्रित्य तद्विद्धि मुनिपुङ्गव ॥ १४.७.१६ ॥
Though he came to me with affection, he does not wish to be the one sacrificed for. Know this, O best of sages: he has taken refuge in the king of the gods (Indra).
14.7.17
सोहमिच्छामि भवता सर्वस्वेनापि याजितुम् ।
कामये समतिक्रान्तुं वासवं त्वत्कृतैर्गुणैः ॥ १४.७.१७ ॥
I wish to have you perform my sacrifice, even at the cost of all my wealth. By the virtues you have shown, I desire to surpass Vāsava (Indra).
14.7.18
न हि मे वर्तते बुद्धिर्गन्तुं ब्रह्मन्बृहस्पतिम् ।
प्रत्याख्यातो हि तेनास्मि तथाऽनपकृते सति ॥ १४.७.१८ ॥
O brahmin, I have no intention of going to Bṛhaspati, for he has rejected me, though I had done him no wrong.
14.7.19
चिकीर्षसि यथाकामं सर्वमेतत्त्वयि ध्रुवम् ।
यदि सर्वानभिप्रायान्कर्तासि मम पार्थिव ॥ १४.७.१९ ॥
O king, you wish to do all this as you please; this is certain in you. If you carry out all my intentions…
14.7.20
याज्यमानं मया हि त्वां बृहस्पतिपुंरदरौ ।
द्विषेतां समभिक्रुद्धावेतदेकं समर्थये ॥ १४.७.२० ॥
If I perform your sacrifice, Bṛhaspati and Purandara (Indra) will both be furiously angry and will hate you; this one thing I request.
14.7.21
स्थैर्यमत्र कथं मे स्यात्स त्वं निःसंशयं कुरु ।
कुपितस्त्वां न हीदानीं भस्म कुर्या सवान्धवम् ॥ १४.७.२१ ॥
Make certain, without doubt, how my steadiness may be secured here. Now, angered, I do not reduce you and your kinsmen to ashes.
14.7.22
यावत्तपेत्सहस्रांशुस्तिष्ठेरंश्चापि पर्वताः ।
तावल्लोकान्न लभेयं त्यजेयं सङ्गतं यदि ॥ १४.७.२२ ॥
As long as the thousand-rayed sun shines and the mountains stand, may I not obtain the worlds, if I abandon this association.
14.7.23
मा चापि शुभबुद्धित्वं लभेयमिह कर्हिचित् ।
विषयैः सङ्गतं चास्तु त्यजेयं सङ्गतं यदि ॥ १४.७.२३ ॥
And may I never obtain an auspicious mind here; and if I abandon this association, may I remain joined to sense objects.
14.7.24
आविक्षित शुभा बुद्धिर्वर्ततां तव कर्मसु ।
याजनं हि ममाप्येव वर्तते हृदि पार्थिव ॥ १४.७.२४ ॥
O Āvikṣita (Marutta), may auspicious intellect remain in your actions; O king, in my heart too there is only the thought of officiating at the sacrifice.
14.7.25
अभिधास्ते च ते राजन्नक्षयं द्रव्यमुत्तमम् ।
येन देवान्सग्धर्वाञ्शक्रं चाभिभविष्यसि ॥ १४.७.२५ ॥
O king, I will tell you of an inexhaustible and supreme wealth, by which you will overcome the gods, the gandharvas, and even Indra.
14.7.26
न तु मे वर्तते बुद्धिर्धने याज्येषु वा पुनः ।
विप्रियं तु करिष्यामि भ्रातुश्चेन्द्रस्य चोभयो ॥ १४.७.२६ ॥
But my mind is not set on wealth, nor on those for whom sacrifices are performed; yet I will do what is displeasing to both your brother and Indra.
14.7.27
गमयिष्यामि शक्रेण समतामपि ते ध्रुवम् ।
प्रियं च ते करिष्यामि सत्यमेतद्ब्रवीमि ते ॥ १४.७.२७ ॥
Surely I will make you equal to Indra, and I will do what is dear to you; this is the truth, and this is what I tell you.
