3.273.1
जयद्रथस्तु संप्रेक्ष्यभ्रातरावुद्यतायुधौ ।
प्रादावत्तूर्णमव्यग्रो जीवितेप्सुः सुदुःखितः ॥ ३.२७३.१ ॥
But Jayadratha, seeing his two brothers with weapons raised, desiring to live and deeply distressed, fled swiftly without losing his composure.
3.273.2
लताभिः संवृते कक्षे किरीटं रत्नभास्वरम् ।
अपविध्यप्रधावन्तं निलीयन्तं वनान्तरे ॥ ३.२७३.२ ॥
Throwing away his diadem gleaming with jewels, he ran and hid in the thicket covered with creepers, deep within the forest.
3.273.3
भीमसेनस्तु तं कक्षे लीयमानं भयाकुलम् ।
मार्गमाणोऽवतीर्याशु रथाद्रत्नविभूपितात्।
अभिद्रुत्य निजग्राहकेशपक्षे ह्यमर्षणः ॥ ३.२७३.३ ॥
But Bhīmasena, searching for him as he hid in the thicket, overwhelmed with fear, quickly descended from his jewel-adorned chariot, rushed upon him in his wrath, and seized him by the hair.
3.273.4
समुद्यम्य च तं भीमो निष्पिपेप महीतले ।
गले गृहीत्वाराजानं पातयामास चैव ह ॥ ३.२७३.४ ॥
Bhīma lifted him up, dashed him down upon the ground, seized the king by the throat, and threw him to the ground.
3.273.5
पुनः स जीवमानस्य तस्योत्पतितुमिच्छतः ।
पदा मूर्ध्नि महाबाहुः प्राहरद्विलपिष्यतः ॥ ३.२७३.५ ॥
Again, as he, still alive, wished to leap up, the mighty-armed one struck him on the head with his foot while he lamented.
3.273.6
तस्य जानू ददौ भमो जघ्ने चैनमरत्निना ।
स मोहमगमद्राजा प्रहारवरपीडितः ॥ ३.२७३.६ ॥
Bhīma struck his knees and hit him with his forearm; the king, tormented by these excellent blows, fell into unconsciousness.
3.273.7
सरोषं भीमसेनं तु वारयामास फल्गुनः ।
दुःशलायाः कृतेराजा यत्त्वामाहेति कौरव ॥ ३.२७३.७ ॥
Arjuna restrained the angry Bhīmasena and said, "O Kaurava, remember what the king said to you on account of Duḥśalā."
3.273.8
नायं पापसमाचारो मत्तो जीवितुमर्हति ।
कृष्णायास्तदनर्हायाः परिक्लेष्टा नराधमः ॥ ३.२७३.८ ॥
This evil-doer does not deserve to live at my hands; this lowest of men tormented Kṛṣṇā, who did not deserve that.
3.273.9
किंनु शक्यं मया कर्तुं यद्राजा सततं घृणी ।
त्वं च बालिशया बुद्ध्या सदैवास्मान्प्रबाधसे ॥ ३.२७३.९ ॥
What can I do, since the king is always compassionate? And you, with your childish understanding, always oppress us.
3.273.10
एवमुक्त्वा सटास्तस्य पञ्चचक्रे वृकोदरः ।
अर्धचन्द्रेण वाणेन किंचिदब्रुवतस्तदा ॥ ३.२७३.१० ॥
Having said this, Vṛkodara cut his locks five times with a crescent-headed arrow, while he was saying nothing at that time.
3.273.11
विकल्पयित्वा राजानं ततः प्राह वृकोदरः ।
जीवितुं चेच्छसे मूढ हेतुं मे गदतः शृणु ॥ ३.२७३.११ ॥
Then, having singled out the king, Vṛkodara said: "O fool, if you wish to live, hear the reason I give you."
3.273.12
दासोस्मीति त्वया वाच्यं संसत्सु च सभासु च ।
एवं चेज्जीवितं दद्यामेष युद्धजितो विधिः ॥ ३.२७३.१२ ॥
"You must declare in assemblies and in halls, 'I am a slave.' If I grant you life on that condition, that is the rule of the one who conquers in battle."
3.273.13
एवमस्त्विति तं राजा कृच्छ्रमाणो जयद्रथः ।
प्रोवाच पुरुषव्याघ्रं भीममाहवशोभिनम् ॥ ३.२७३.१३ ॥
Thus distressed, king Jayadratha said, 'So be it,' and spoke to Bhīma, tiger among men, glorious in battle.
3.273.14
तत एनं विचेष्टन्तं वद्ध्वा पार्थो वृकोदरः ।
रथमारोपयामास विसंज्ञं पांसुकुण्ठितम् ॥ ३.२७३.१४ ॥
Then Pārtha Vṛkodara, binding him as he writhed, lifted him onto the chariot, senseless and covered with dust.
3.273.15
ततस्तं रथमास्थाय भीमः पार्तानुगस्तदा ।
अग्र्यमाश्रममध्यस्थामभ्यगच्छद्युधिष्ठिरम् ॥ ३.२७३.१५ ॥
Then Bhīma mounted that chariot, following the Pārthas, and went to Yudhiṣṭhira, the foremost, who stood in the middle of the hermitage.
3.273.16
दर्शयामास भीमस्तु तदवस्थं जयद्रथम् ।
तं राजा प्राहसद्दृष्ट्वा मुच्यतामिति चाब्रवीत् ॥ ३.२७३.१६ ॥
Bhīma showed Jayadratha in that condition. The king, seeing him, laughed and said, 'Let him be released.'
3.273.17
राजानं चाब्रवीद्भीमो द्रौपद्यै कथयेति वै ।
दासभावं गतो ह्येष पाण्डूनां पापचेतनः ॥ ३.२७३.१७ ॥
Bhīma said to the king, 'Tell Draupadī.' This evil-minded man has indeed become a slave of the Pāṇḍavas.
3.273.18
तमुवाच च ततो ज्येष्ठो भ्राता सप्रणयं वचः ।
मुञ्चेममधमाचारं प्रमाणा यदि ते वयम् ॥ ३.२७३.१८ ॥
Then the eldest brother spoke to him affectionately: 'Release this base-acting man, if we are authorities to you.'
3.273.19
द्रौपदी चाब्रवीद्भीममभिप्रेक्ष्य युधिष्ठिरम् ।
दासोऽयंमुच्यतां रात्रस्त्वयापञ्चशिखः कृतः ॥ ३.२७३.१९ ॥
Draupadī, looking at Bhīma and Yudhiṣṭhira, said: "This man is a slave; let him be released. In the night you made him five-topknotted."
3.273.20
एवमुक्तः स भीमस्तु भ्रात्रा चैव च कृष्णया ।
मुमोच तं महापापं जयद्रथमचेतनम् ॥ ३.२७३.२० ॥
When thus addressed by his brother and by Kṛṣṇā (Draupadī), Bhīma released that great sinner, the senseless Jayadratha.
3.273.21
स मुक्तोऽभ्येत्यराजानमभिवाद्य युधिष्ठिरम् ।
ववन्दे विह्वलोराजातांश्च वृद्धान्मुनींस्तदा ॥ ३.२७३.२१ ॥
Released, he came to the king and bowed to Yudhiṣṭhira; then the distressed king bowed also to those elders and sages.
3.273.22
तमुवाच धृणी राजा धर्मपुत्रो युधिष्ठिरः ।
तथाजयद्रथं दृष्ट्वा गृहीतं सव्यसाचिना ॥ ३.२७३.२२ ॥
Then the compassionate king Yudhiṣṭhira, son of Dharma, spoke to him, having seen Jayadratha seized by Savyasācin (Arjuna).
3.273.23
अदासो गच्छ मुक्तोसि मैवं कार्षीः पुनः क्वचित् ।
स्त्रीकामुक धिगस्तु त्वां क्षुद्रः क्षत्रसहायवान् ॥ ३.२७३.२३ ॥
"You are not a slave; go, you are freed. Never do such a thing again anywhere. Shame upon you, lustful for women, base man, though you have kṣatriya helpers."
3.273.24
एवंविधं हि क कुर्यात्त्वदनयः पुरुषाधमः ।
कर्म धर्मविरुद्धं वै लोकदुष्टं च दुर्मते ॥ ३.२७३.२४ ॥
Who but a lowest of men like you would do such a deed? O ill-minded one, this deed is contrary to dharma and hated by the world.
3.273.25
गतसत्त्वमिव ज्ञात्वा कर्तारमशुभस्य तम् ।
संप्रेक्ष्यभरतश्रेष्ठः कृपां चक्रे नराधिपः ॥ ३.२७३.२५ ॥
Knowing him as if his life-breath had left him, and looking upon the doer of the evil deed, the best of the Bharatas, the lord of men, took pity.
3.273.26
धर्मे ते वर्धतां वुद्धिर्मा चाधर्मे मनः कृथाः ।
साश्च साथपादातः स्वस्ति गच्छ जयद्रथ ॥ ३.२७३.२६ ॥
May your intellect grow in dharma, and do not set your mind on adharma. Go in well-being with horses, chariots and foot-soldiers, Jayadratha.
3.273.27
एवमुक्तस्तु सव्रीजं तूष्णीं किंचिदवाङ्युखः ।
जगाम राजा दुःखार्तो गङ्गाद्वाराय भारत ॥ ३.२७३.२७ ॥
Thus addressed, the king, ashamed and somewhat downcast, went silently, afflicted with sorrow, Bharata, toward Gaṅgādvāra.
3.273.28
स देवं शरणं गत्वा विरूपाक्षमुमापतिम् ।
तपश्चचार विपुलं तस्य प्रीतो वृषध्वजः ॥ ३.२७३.२८ ॥
He went to the god as refuge and performed great austerity to Virūpākṣa, lord of Umā; pleased with him, the bull-bannered one.
3.273.29
बलिं स्वयं प्रत्यगृह्णात्प्रीयमाणस्त्रिलोचनः ।
वरं चास्मै ददौ देवः स जग्राह च तच्छृणु ॥ ३.२७३.२९ ॥
Pleased, the three-eyed god himself accepted the offering, and the god gave him a boon, which he received. Listen to that.
3.273.30
समस्तान्सरथान्पञ्चजयेयं युधि पाण्डवान् ।
इति राजाऽब्रवीद्देवं नेति देवस्तमब्रवीत् ॥ ३.२७३.३० ॥
"May I conquer all five Pāṇḍavas, with their chariots, in battle" — thus the king spoke to the god. The god said to him: "No."
3.273.31
अजय्यांश्चाप्यवध्यांश्च वारयिष्यसि तान्युधि ।
ऋतेऽर्जुनं महाबाहुं नरं नाम सुरेश्वरम् ॥ ३.२७३.३१ ॥
In battle you will be able to ward off even those who cannot be conquered or slain — except Arjuna, the mighty-armed, who is Nara, lord of the gods.
3.273.32
बदर्यां तप्ततपसं नारायणसहायकम् ।
अजितं सर्वलोकानां देवैरपि दुरासदम् ॥ ३.२७३.३२ ॥
He who performs fierce austerities at Badarī, who has Nārāyaṇa as his helper, unconquered by all the worlds, hard even for the gods to approach.
3.273.33
मया दत्तं पाशुपतं दिव्यमप्रतिमं शरम् ।
अवाप लोकपालेभ्यो वज्रादीन्स महाशरान् ॥ ३.२७३.३३ ॥
The divine, incomparable Pāśupata arrow given by me; he obtained from the guardians of the worlds the thunderbolt and other great arrows.
3.273.34
देवदेवो ह्यनन्तात्मा विष्णुः सुरगुरुः प्रभुः ।
प्रधानपुरुषोऽव्यक्तोविश्वात्माविश्वमूर्तिमान् ॥ ३.२७३.३४ ॥
The god of gods, the infinite-souled Viṣṇu, teacher of the gods, the lord, the primal person, unmanifest, the soul of the universe, embodied as the universe.
3.273.35
युगान्तकाले संप्राप्ते कालाग्निर्दहते जगत् ।
सपर्वतार्णवद्वीपं सशैलवनकाननम्।
निर्दहन्नागलोकांश्चपातालतलचारिणः ॥ ३.२७३.३५ ॥
When the end of the age arrives, the fire of time burns the world, with its mountains, oceans, islands, hills, forests and groves, utterly burning the worlds of the serpents and those who move in the depths of the netherworld.
3.273.36
अथान्तरिक्षे सुमहन्नानावर्णाः पयोधराः ।
घोरस्वरा विनदिनस्तटिन्मालावलम्बिनः।
समुत्तिष्ठन्दिशः सर्वाविवर्षन्तः समन्ततः ॥ ३.२७३.३६ ॥
Then in the sky vast clouds of many colours rise, roaring with terrible sound, hung with garlands of lightning, rising in all directions and pouring rain on every side.
3.273.37
ततोऽग्नीं शमयामासुः संवर्ताग्निनियामकाः ।
अक्षमात्रैश्च धाराभिस्तिष्ठन्त्यापूर्य सर्वशः ॥ ३.२७३.३७ ॥
Then those who control the dissolution-fire quenched that fire. Filling everything on all sides with streams as thick as an axle-hole, they stood there.
3.273.38
एकार्णवे तदातस्मिन्नुपशान्तचराचरे ।
नष्टचन्द्रार्कपवने ग्रहनक्षत्रवर्जिते।
चतुर्युगसहस्रान्ते सलिलेनाप्लुता मही ॥ ३.२७३.३८ ॥
Then, in that single ocean where all moving and unmoving things had become still, with moon, sun and wind destroyed and bereft of planets and stars, at the end of a thousand cycles of four ages, the earth was submerged in water.
3.273.39
ततो नारायणाख्यस्तु सहस्राक्षः सहस्रपात् ।
सहस्रशीर्पा पुरुषः स्वप्नुकामस्त्वतीन्द्रियः ॥ ३.२७३.३९ ॥
Then that Person named Nārāyaṇa, thousand-eyed, thousand-footed, thousand-headed, beyond the senses, desired to sleep.
3.273.40
फणासहस्रविकटं शेषं पर्यङ्कभोगिनम् ।
सहस्रमिव तिग्मांशुसंघातममितद्युतिम्।
कुन्देन्दुहारगोक्षीरमृणालकुमुदप्रभम् ॥ ३.२७३.४० ॥
The terrible Śeṣa, with a thousand hoods, serving as the couch, like a mass of a thousand sun-rays, of boundless brilliance, radiant like jasmine, the moon, a pearl necklace, cow's milk, a lotus-stalk and a white lotus.
3.273.41
तत्रासौ भगवान्देवः स्वपञ्जलनिधौ तदा ।
नैशेन तमसा व्याप्तां स्वां रात्रिंकुरुते विभुः ॥ ३.२७३.४१ ॥
There, at that time, that blessed god, on the ocean which is his own abode, makes his own night, pervaded by the darkness of night, the all-pervading lord.
3.273.42
सत्वोद्रेकात्प्रबुद्धस्तु शून्यं लोकमपश्यत ।
इमं चोदाहरन्त्यत्रश्लोकं नारायणं प्रति ॥ ३.२७३.४२ ॥
Awakened by the surge of sattva, he saw the world empty. And about Nārāyaṇa in this matter this verse is recited.
3.273.43
आपो नारास्तत्तनव इत्यपां नाम शुश्रुमः ।
अयनं तेन चैवास्ते तेन नारायणः स्मृतः ॥ ३.२७३.४३ ॥
The waters are called 'nāra', for they are his bodies, so we have heard. Because he dwells in them, he is remembered as Nārāyaṇa.
3.273.44
प्रध्यानसमकालं तुप्रजाहेतोः सनातनः ।
ध्यातमात्रे तु भगवन्नाभ्यां पद्मः समुत्थितः ॥ ३.२७३.४४ ॥
At the very moment the eternal one meditated deeply for the sake of creatures, a lotus arose from the navel of the blessed Lord, merely by his being meditated upon.
3.273.45
ततश्चतुर्मुखो ब्रह्मा नाभिपद्माद्विनिःसृतः ।
तत्रोपविष्टः सहसा ब्रह्मा लोकपितामहः ॥ ३.२७३.४५ ॥
Then Brahmā with four faces emerged from the navel-lotus. Brahmā, the grandfather of the worlds, suddenly sat there.
3.273.46
शून्यं दृष्ट्वा जगत्कृत्स्नं मानसानात्मनः समान् ।
ततो मरीचिप्रमुखान्महर्षीनसृजन्नव ॥ ३.२७३.४६ ॥
Seeing the whole world empty, he created sons born of his mind, equal to himself; then he created nine great sages, headed by Marīci.
3.273.47
तेऽसृजन्सर्वभूतानि त्रसानि स्थावराणि च ।
यक्षराक्षसभूतानि पिशाचोरगमानुषान् ॥ ३.२७३.४७ ॥
They created all beings, the moving and the unmoving: yakṣas, rākṣasas, spirits, piśācas, serpents and humans.
3.273.48
सृजते ब्रह्ममूर्तिस्तु रक्षते पौरुषी तनुः ।
रौद्री भावेन शमयेत्तिस्रोऽवस्थाः प्रजापतेः ॥ ३.२७३.४८ ॥
The form of Brahmā creates, the Puruṣa-body protects, and by the fierce disposition he quells the three states of the lord of creatures.
3.273.49
न श्रुतं ते सिन्धुपते विष्णोरद्भुतकर्मणः ।
कथ्यमानानि मुनिभिर्ब्राह्मणैर्वेदपारगैः ॥ ३.२७३.४९ ॥
Have you not heard, O lord of the ocean, of Viṣṇu of wondrous deeds, as recounted by sages and brahmins who have mastered the Vedas?
3.273.50
जलेन समनुप्राप्ते सर्वतः पृथिवीतले ।
तदा चैकार्णवे तस्मिननेकाकाशे प्रभुश्चरन् ॥ ३.२७३.५० ॥
When water had spread over the whole surface of the earth, then the lord was moving about alone in the one ocean, in that boundless expanse.
3.273.51
निशायामिव खद्योतः प्रावृट्काले समन्ततः ।
प्रतिष्ठानाय पृथिवीं मार्गमाणस्तदाऽभवत् ॥ ३.२७३.५१ ॥
Like a firefly at night in the rainy season, moving here and there, he was then seeking a foothold for the earth.
3.273.52
जले निमग्नां गां दृष्ट्वाचोद्धर्तुं मनसेच्छति ।
किंनु रूपमहं कृत्वासलिलादुद्धरे महीम् ॥ ३.२७३.५२ ॥
Seeing the earth sunk in the water, he wishes in his mind to lift it up. "What form shall I take, so as to raise this earth from the waters?"
3.273.53
एवं संचिन्त्य मनसा दृष्ट्वा दिव्येन चक्षुषा ।
जलक्रीडाभिरुचितं वाराहं रूपमस्मरत् ॥ ३.२७३.५३ ॥
Having thus considered in his mind, and seen with his divine eye, he recalled the boar form that delights in water-sport.
3.273.54
कृत्वा वराहवपुपं वाङ्मयं वेदसंमितम् ।
दशयोजनविस्तीर्णमायतं शतयोजनम् ॥ ३.२७३.५४ ॥
Taking the form of a boar, made of the Vedic sound and equal in measure to the Vedas, ten yojanas wide and a hundred yojanas long.
3.273.55
महापर्वतवर्ष्माभं तीक्ष्णदंष्ट्रंप्रदीप्तिमत् ।
महामेघौघनिर्घोपं नीलजीमूतसन्निभम् ॥ ३.२७३.५५ ॥
He was like a great mountain in bulk, sharp-tusked, blazing, roaring like a mass of great clouds, like a dark-blue storm cloud.
3.273.56
भूत्वा यज्ञवराहो वै अपः संप्राविशत्प्रभुः ।
दंष्ट्रेणैकेन चोद्धृत्यस्वे स्थाने न्यविशन्महीम् ॥ ३.२७३.५६ ॥
Becoming the sacrificial boar, the lord entered the waters, and with a single tusk lifted up the earth and set her in her own place.
3.273.57
पुनरेव महाबाहुरपूर्वां तनुमाश्रितः ।
नरस्य कृत्वाऽर्धतनुं सिंहस्यार्धतनुं प्रभुः ॥ ३.२७३.५७ ॥
Again the mighty-armed lord assumed an unprecedented form, making half his body that of a man and half that of a lion.
3.273.58
दैत्येन्द्रस्य सभां गत्वापाणिं संस्पृश्यपाणिना ।
दैत्यानामादिपुरुषः सुरारिर्दितिनन्दनः ॥ ३.२७३.५८ ॥
Having gone to the assembly of the lord of the demons, and touched hand with hand, the primeval man of the demons, enemy of the gods, son of Diti—
3.273.59
दृष्ट्वा चापूर्ववपुषं क्रोधात्संरक्तलोचनः ।
शूलोद्यतकरः स्रग्वी हिरण्यकशिपुस्तदा ॥ ३.२७३.५९ ॥
And seeing the form unlike any before, Hiraṇyakaśipu, his eyes reddened with anger, a spear raised in his hand, wearing a garland, then—
3.273.60
मेघस्तनितनिर्घोषो नीलाभ्रचयसन्निभः ।
देवारिर्दितिजो वीरो नृसिंहं समुपाद्रवत् ॥ ३.२७३.६० ॥
Roaring like the thunder of clouds, like a heap of dark-blue clouds, the hero, enemy of the gods, born of Diti, rushed upon the man-lion.
3.273.61
समुत्पत्य ततस्तीक्ष्णैर्मृगेन्द्रेण बलीयसा ।
नारसिंहेन वपुषादारितः करजैर्भृशम् ॥ ३.२७३.६१ ॥
Then, leaping up, the lion-king of beasts, mightier, in the man-lion form, tore him violently with his sharp claws.
3.273.62
एवं निहत्य भगवान्दैत्येनद्रं रिपुघातिनम् ।
भूयोऽन्यः पुण्डरीकाक्षः प्रभुर्लोकहिताय च।
कश्यपस्यात्मजः श्रीमानदित्या गर्भधारितः ॥ ३.२७३.६२ ॥
Having thus slain the lord of the Daityas, the slayer of enemies, the lotus-eyed lord, again for the welfare of the worlds, was carried in the womb of Aditi as another, the glorious son of Kaśyapa.
3.273.63
पूर्णे वर्षसहस्रे तु प्रसूत भर्गमुत्तमम् ॥ ३.२७३.६३ ॥
When a thousand years were completed, she gave birth to the supreme radiant one.
3.273.64
दुर्दिनाम्भोदसदृशो दीप्ताक्षो वामनाकृतिः ।
दण्डी कमण्डलुधरः श्रीवत्सोरसि भूषितः।
जटी यज्ञोपवीती च भगवान्बालरूपधृक् ॥ ३.२७३.६४ ॥
Like a storm-cloud, with blazing eyes, dwarf in form, bearing a staff and water-pot, adorned on the chest with the Śrīvatsa mark, matted-haired and wearing the sacred thread, the blessed lord who bore a child's form.
3.273.65
यज्ञवाटं गतः श्रीमान्दानवेन्द्रस्य वै तदा ।
बृहस्पतिसहायोऽसौ प्रविष्टो बलिनो मखे ॥ ३.२७३.६५ ॥
Then the glorious one went to the sacrificial enclosure of Bali, lord of the Dānavas; accompanied by Bṛhaspati, he entered the sacrifice of mighty Bali.
3.273.66
तं दृष्ट्वावामनतनुं प्रहृष्टो बलिरब्रवीत् ।
प्रीतोस्मि दर्शने विप्र ब्रूहि त्वं किं ददानिते ॥ ३.२७३.६६ ॥
Seeing that dwarf-bodied one, Bali, delighted, said: "O brahmin, I am pleased by your sight; speak, what shall I give you?"
3.273.67
एवमुक्तस्तु बलिना वामनः प्रत्युवाच ह ॥ ३.२७३.६७ ॥
When Bali had spoken thus, Vāmana replied.
3.273.68
स्वस्तीत्युक्त्वा बलिं देवः स्मयमानोऽभ्यभाषत ।
मेदिनीं दानवपते देहि मे विक्रमत्रयम् ॥ ३.२७३.६८ ॥
Saying "svasti," the god, smiling, spoke to Bali: "O lord of the Dānavas, give me the earth, three strides of it."
3.273.69
बलिर्ददौ प्रसन्नात्मा विप्रायामिततेजसे ।
ततो दिव्याद्भुततमं रूपं विक्रमतोहरेः ॥ ३.२७३.६९ ॥
Bali, with a joyful heart, gave it to the Brahmin of boundless splendor. Then the divine and most wondrous form of Hari, as he took his strides, appeared.
3.273.70
विक्रमैस्त्रिभिरक्षोभ्यो जहाराशु स मेदिनीम् ।
ददौ शक्राय च महीं विष्णुर्देवः सनातनः ॥ ३.२७३.७० ॥
With three strides the unshakable one swiftly took the earth; and the eternal god Viṣṇu gave that earth to Śakra (Indra).
3.273.71
एष ते वामनो नाम प्रादुर्भावः प्रकीर्तितः ।
तेन देवाः प्रादुरासन्वैष्णवं चोच्यते जगत् ॥ ३.२७३.७१ ॥
This manifestation of yours, named Vāmana, has been proclaimed. By it the gods appeared, and the world is called Vaiṣṇava.
3.273.72
असतां निग्रहार्थाय धर्मसंरक्षणाय च ।
अवतीर्णो मनुष्याणामजायत यदुक्षये।
यं देवंविदुषोगान्ति तस्य कर्माणि सैन्दव ॥ ३.२७३.७२ ॥
He who descended to restrain the wicked and protect dharma was born among men at the destruction of the Yadus. O Saindhava, these are the deeds of that god whom the wise celebrate.
3.273.73
अनाद्यन्तमजं देवं प्रभुंलोकनमस्कृतम् ।
यं देवं विदुषोगान्तितस् कर्माणि सैन्धव ॥ ३.२७३.७३ ॥

श्रीवत्सधारिणं देवं पीतकौशेयवाससम् ॥ ३.२७३.७४ ॥
The god whom they call the unconquered Kṛṣṇa, bearer of conch, discus and mace, bearer of the Śrīvatsa mark, clad in yellow silk.
3.273.75
प्रधानं सोऽस्त्रविदुषां तेन कृष्णन रक्ष्यते ॥ ३.२७३.७५ ॥
He is foremost among those who know the weapons; by that Kṛṣṇa he is protected.
3.273.76
सहायः पुण्डरीकाक्षः श्रीमानतुलविक्रमः ।
समानस्यन्दने पार्थमास्थाय परवीरहा ॥ ३.२७३.७६ ॥
As companion, the lotus-eyed, glorious one of incomparable valour, mounting Pārtha on the equal chariot, slayer of enemy heroes.
3.273.77
न शक्यते तेन जेतुं त्रिदशैरपि दुःसहः ।
कः पुनर्मानुषो भावो रणे पार्थं विजेष्यति ॥ ३.२७३.७७ ॥
He cannot be conquered even by the gods, he is unbearable; who then, of human nature, will conquer Pārtha in battle?
3.273.78
तमेकं वर्जयित्वातु सर्वंयौधिष्ठिरं बलम् ।
चतुरः पाण्डवात्राजन्दिनैकं जेप्यसे रिपून् ॥ ३.२७३.७८ ॥
Setting aside only him, with all of Yudhiṣṭhira's army — O Pāṇḍava king, in a single day you will conquer the enemies.
3.273.79
तस्मात्त्वंपार्थरहितान्पाण्डवान्वारयिष्यसि ।
