हिन्दी अर्थ

वैशम्पायनजी कहते हैं—जनमेजय! वृषभके समान विशाल नेत्रोिंबाले श्रीकृष्णने इस प्रकार द्वारकाका निरीक्षण करते हुए अपने आवास-स्थानको देखा, जो सैकड़ों प्रासादोंसे सुशोभित था

हिन्दी अर्थ

उसमें मणियोंके बने हुए लाखों-करोड़ों खम्भे लगे थे, जिनकी प्रभासे वहाँका सब कुछ सुस्पष्ट दिखायी देता था। वहाँके बाहरी फाटक मणि-मूँगे एवं चाँदीके बने हुए थे और प्रज्वलित अग्निके समान उद्भासित होते थे

हिन्दी अर्थ

जहाँ-तहाँ प्रकाशित होनेवाले उन फाटकोंमें सोनेकी विचित्र वेदिकाएँ बनी हुई थीं। उन सबसे उद्दीत दिखायी देनेवाला श्रीकृष्णका वह महान्‌ प्रासाद उनका उपस्थान- गृह था

हिन्दी अर्थ

उसमें स्फटिकमणिके खम्भे लगे हुए थे, जिनसे वह प्रासाद प्रकाशित होता था। उसका विस्तार बहुत बड़ा था। वहाँकी सभी वस्तुएँ सोनेकी बनी हुई थीं, वहाँकी बावड़ियोंका जल कमलोंसे आच्छादित था, उनमें लाल रंगके सौगन्धिक कमल खिले हुए थे

श्लोक 5–7 का हिन्दी अर्थ

वे बावड़ियाँ मणि और सुवर्णके समान विचित्र शोभासे सम्पन्न दिखायी देती थीं, रत्नमयी सीढ़ियोंसे अलंकृत थीं, मतवाले मोर और सदा मदमत्त रहनेवाले कोकिल उनका सेवन करते थे, विकसित कमलोंसे आच्छादित होनेके कारण वे उत्तम शोभासे सम्पन्न हो रही थीं। श्रीकृष्णके उस भवनका परकोटा विश्वकमनि प्रस्तरसे बनाया था। उसकी ऊँचाई सौ हाथकी थी और वह खाइयोंसे घिरा हुआ था। वृष्णिवंशके सिंह श्रीकृष्णके उस भवनका निर्माण साक्षात्‌ विध्वकर्माने किया था

श्लोक 8–9 का हिन्दी अर्थ

मोडध्याय: + ७६९ सब ओरसे आधा योजन विस्तृत वह श्रीकृष्णका महल देवराज इन्द्रके भवन-सा मनोहर था। तदनन्तर गरुड़के ऊपर बैठे हुए भगवान्‌ श्रीकृष्णने मन-ही-मन प्रसन्न होकर श्वेतवर्णवाले अपने उस पाज्जन्य श्जुको बजाया, जो शत्रुओंके रोंगटे खड़े कर देनेवाला था। उस शड्डके शब्दसे समुद्र विश्वुब्ध हो उठा तथा सम्पूर्ण आकाशमण्डल गूँजने लगा, उस समय वहाँ यह अद्भुत बात हुई

Thereupon supporting himself on a standard Vāna, filled with anger, remonstrated with Aniruddha in harsh words and said:—"O Kumbhānda, kill soon this sinful wretch of his family having a vitiated soul who has sullied our character in the world". Thus addressed Kumbhānda said (170–179)—"O king, I wish to speak a few words. Hear them if you wish. Whose son is this hero endued with the prowess of Indra? Learn first from where he has come and who has brought him here. O king, when he fought in the great battle, I marked him fighting like a celestial prince. He is powerful, endued with energy and a master of weapons (180–182). O foremost of Daityas, he does not deserve to be slain. He has espoused your daughter in Gandharva marriage (183). You can take her from him because you did not give her away. You should kill him after thinking over this. Knowing this, either kill him or adore him (184). I see a great mistake in killing him and a great virtue in protecting him. He is one of the best of men and every way deserves honor (185). His body is fettered with serpents and still he does not feel pain. He has a good birth, valour, energy and accomplishments (186). Behold, O king, this best of men, endued with great prowess. This powerful hero, although chained, does not care for us all (187). Had he not been fettered by virtue of your illusory power forsooth he would have fought with all the Asuras (188). He knows all forms of warfare and is more powerful than you. His person is fettered with serpents and covered with blood; still frowning with his forehead stricken with three marks he is as if aiming at us all. Reduced to such a plight and yet dependant on the strength of his own arms he does not care for any thing, O king. Who is this young man? Although gifted with two hands he still stands for an encounter with you having a thousand hands and does not think of your prowess. Who is he endued with such a prowess (189-191)? Besides, O king, while your daughter is attached to him you will not be able to give her away to another person. On the other hand, the hero has been known as one of great prowess (193). O foremost of Asuras, if this desirable person is born in the family of a great man he is worthy of receiving adoration from you (193). I request you, save him." Thus addressed by the high-souled Kumbhādha, Vāna, the slayer of his enemies said "So be it." Thereupon handing over Aniruddha to the guards the intelligent and illustrious son of Bali repaired to his own palace. Seeing the highly powerful Aniruddha fettered through illusory power Nārada, the foremost of Rishis, set out for the city of Dwaravati. Having arrived at Dwāravati through the etherial way that best of Munis communicated to Keshava, the rider of Garuda, about the imprisonment of Aniruddha. When that foremost of Rishis Nārada set out for Dwārakā Aniruddha thought: "This cruel Dānava will forsooth be slain in battle, for Nārada will speak many things truly to Keshava the holder of conch-shell, discus and club." At that time while Ushā, having her eyes full of tears on seeing her husband bound with serpents, cried he said to her:—"O timid girl, why do you weep thus? Do not fear, O you having fair eyes; you will soon see the slayer of Madhu arrive here for me. Hearing the sound of his conch shell and of the striking of his arms the Dānavas will be destroyed and the Asura women will abort." Thus addressed by Aniruddha the youthful Ushā was consoled and began to bewail for her ruthless father (194–203).

Thereupon supporting himself on a standard Vāna, filled with anger, remonstrated with Aniruddha in harsh words and said:—"O Kumbhānda, kill soon this sinful wretch of his family having a vitiated soul who has sullied our character in the world". Thus addressed Kumbhānda said (170–179)—"O king, I wish to speak a few words. Hear them if you wish. Whose son is this hero endued with the prowess of Indra? Learn first from where he has come and who has brought him here. O king, when he fought in the great battle, I marked him fighting like a celestial prince. He is powerful, endued with energy and a master of weapons (180–182). O foremost of Daityas, he does not deserve to be slain. He has espoused your daughter in Gandharva marriage (183). You can take her from him because you did not give her away. You should kill him after thinking over this. Knowing this, either kill him or adore him (184). I see a great mistake in killing him and a great virtue in protecting him. He is one of the best of men and every way deserves honor (185). His body is fettered with serpents and still he does not feel pain. He has a good birth, valour, energy and accomplishments (186). Behold, O king, this best of men, endued with great prowess. This powerful hero, although chained, does not care for us all (187). Had he not been fettered by virtue of your illusory power forsooth he would have fought with all the Asuras (188). He knows all forms of warfare and is more powerful than you. His person is fettered with serpents and covered with blood; still frowning with his forehead stricken with three marks he is as if aiming at us all. Reduced to such a plight and yet dependant on the strength of his own arms he does not care for any thing, O king. Who is this young man? Although gifted with two hands he still stands for an encounter with you having a thousand hands and does not think of your prowess. Who is he endued with such a prowess (189-191)? Besides, O king, while your daughter is attached to him you will not be able to give her away to another person. On the other hand, the hero has been known as one of great prowess (193). O foremost of Asuras, if this desirable person is born in the family of a great man he is worthy of receiving adoration from you (193). I request you, save him." Thus addressed by the high-souled Kumbhādha, Vāna, the slayer of his enemies said "So be it." Thereupon handing over Aniruddha to the guards the intelligent and illustrious son of Bali repaired to his own palace. Seeing the highly powerful Aniruddha fettered through illusory power Nārada, the foremost of Rishis, set out for the city of Dwaravati. Having arrived at Dwāravati through the etherial way that best of Munis communicated to Keshava, the rider of Garuda, about the imprisonment of Aniruddha. When that foremost of Rishis Nārada set out for Dwārakā Aniruddha thought: "This cruel Dānava will forsooth be slain in battle, for Nārada will speak many things truly to Keshava the holder of conch-shell, discus and club." At that time while Ushā, having her eyes full of tears on seeing her husband bound with serpents, cried he said to her:—"O timid girl, why do you weep thus? Do not fear, O you having fair eyes; you will soon see the slayer of Madhu arrive here for me. Hearing the sound of his conch shell and of the striking of his arms the Dānavas will be destroyed and the Asura women will abort." Thus addressed by Aniruddha the youthful Ushā was consoled and began to bewail for her ruthless father (194–203).
