हिन्दी अर्थ

तमो5ध्याय: स्स्स्स्‍्स्‍्स्स्स्स्साण रवोंकी सभामें श्रीकृष्णके प्रभावका वर्णन करना श्रीकृष्णने कहा—यादवो! आप सब लोग पवित्र कीर्तिवाले हैं, आपकी तपस्या, बल और एकाग्रतासे तथा आपके द्वारा किये गये अनिष्टचिन्तनसे भूमिपुत्र पापात्मा नरकासुर मारा गया

English

Hearing that unheard, of lamentation caused by fear the Yadu chiefs all on sudden leaped down from their respective houses. As the lions, when assailed, come out of their caves, so the Yadavas, coming out, said, their voice being choked with affection—"Krishna protects us all completely. Whence is then this fear? Why is such a noise heard in Aniruddha's house? (13–15)." Thereupon the huge bugle of Krishna's court was brought and sounded; and at that sound all the Yadavas assembled there. They asked one another "What is the matter?" And they answered one another as they had heard (16-17). Hearing it the eyes, reddened in anger, of the Yadavas dreadful in battle, were filled with tears; and they sighed there idly (18). Then beholding even Krishna the foremost of strikers sigh again and again and others sit silently Viprithu said:—(19). "O Krishna, you are the foremost of men; why are you then possessed by anxiety? The Yadavas, living under the protection of your arms, are ranging freely at large. Leaving the charge of success and defeat to you even the powerful Sakra is sleeping happily. See your kinsmen are sunk in unfathomable ocean of grief. O large-armed hero, save them. What is the cause of your anxiety? O Mādhava, why do you not speak any thing? You should not indulge in such idle thoughts." Thus addressed Vāsudeva, a clever speaker like Vrihaspati himself, sighed again and again for some time and then said:—"O Viprathu, I was anxiously thinking about this (20–25). Even thinking I have not been able to settle anything. Therefore I could not give you any reply although you asked me (26). Hear, O Yadavas, I will describe to you in truth, why I have been filled with anxiety. On account of the captivity of the heroic Aniruddha all the kings of the earth and my friends will consider me incapable. Formerly our king Ahuka was taken captive by Shālwa—but we brought him back after a dreadful fight. Rukshmini's son Pradyumna was stolen away by Shamvara in his infancy. But he, having slain him in battle, has come back. But where has Aniruddha been exiled? O ye foremost of men, I do not recollect I had before experienced such sorrow and mental agony (27-31). I will in battle kill him with his own people who has put on my head this foot covered with ashes." After Krishna had said this Sātyaki observed:—"O Krishna, despatch spies all over for finding out Aniruddha. Let them search the earth with mountains and forests. Let open and secret emissaries be engaged in this work"

Vaishampāyana said:—Hearing those words of anxious Krishna of wonderful deeds, Akrura, capable of understanding the true meaning of words, said in sweet words:—"O Lord, Indra's work is identical with ours and ours is the same as that of Sachi's lord. We are for the gods and they should be protected by us. We are born as men for the gods" (55–57). Thus excited by Akrura's words Krishna, the slayer of Madhu, said in sweet and grave words:—"Pradyumna has not been taken away by any amongst the Devatas, Gandharvas, Yakshasas or Rākshasas. That highly illustrious hero must have been tempted away by some courtezan. The women of the Daityas and Dānavas are by nature loose and tempting. Forsooth Pradyumna must have been taken away by them. We need entertain fear from no other quarter"

Vaishampāyana said:—At that time with the sound of conch-shells and bugles, the songs of bards and panegyrists by thousands and blessings of men exclaiming victory Janarddana appeared like the moon, sun and Sakra. O king, when Vinatā's son flew up into the sky his, beauty, increased by Hari's energy, became immense (1-3). Desirous of killing Vāna the lotus-eyed Keshava assumed a form having eight arms and resembling a mountain. At that time Janārddana, the holder of Shranga-bow, assumed innumerable heads. In his four right hands he had sword, discus, club and arrows and by his left four hands he held the leathern protector, the Srānga-bow, the thunder-bolt and conch-shell. Seated on Garudha's back, Sanghkarshana, holding a thousand forms and white weapons, irrepressible unto all creatures like the mount Kailāsha with its summit, shone like the rising moon. With a view to display his prowess in battle the high-souled Pradyumna assumed a form like that of Sanatkumār (4–8). Thereupon shaking innumerable mountains and obstructing the course of the wind with the forcible flapping of his wings the powerful Vinatā's son went on. Endued with the speed of the mind he crossed the most sacred route of the Siddhas and Chāranas. At that time Rāma said to Krishna, incomparable in battle:—"O Krishna, what wonder is this that we have all on a sudden been shorn of our effulgence? We have all a golden hue. What is the cause? Have we come to the side of the mount Sumeru?" (9–12) The Lord said:—"Methinks, O slayer of thy enemies, Vāna's city is near at hand. To protect him, the fire, stationed in his city, is coming out blazing. O holder of plough-share, we have been possessed by the effulgence of the fire of oblation: this has changed our colour." Rāma replied:—"If by approaching the city of Vāna we have been shorn of the lustre of our body, do what you think proper afterwards" (13–15). The Lord said:—"O Vinatā's son, do what you think proper. After you have found out a means I shall do what I think

Thereupon knowing himself possessed by Jvara Purosottama created another for its destruction. With his energy, the energetic Janārddana, of dreadful power, created a dreadful Jvara, highly terrible unto creatures. Catching hold, by force, of the former Jvara the one, created by Krishna, presented it before him. Having thus driven out that Jvara from his body through one created by him the highly powerful and angry Vāsudeva struck him down on the ground and was about to tear him into pieces. Thereat Jvara, bewildered, said "O Janārddana, it behoveth thee to protect me." However while Krishna, of incomparable energy, was about to strike that Jvara on the ground an invisible voice was heard in the sky:—"O Krishna, O large-armed Krishna, the enhancer of the delight of the Yādavas, do not kill this Jvara. O sinless one, he is worthy of being protected by thee" (5–12). Thus addressed Hari, the lord of the past, future and present and the great preceptor of the world let Jvara off. Thereupon prostrating himself with bent head at Hrishikesha's feet Jvara said:—"O descendant of Yadu, O Govinda, hear what I have to submit unto thee. Hear, O large-armed deity, what I have got in my mind and do thou accomplish it. O lord, I pray from thee for this boon only that I may be the only Jvara in this world and no one else may flourish." The lord said:—"It is proper to confer a boon on one who prays for it. Besides you have sought my protection. May you fare well therefore, O Jvara. You will have what you are praying for. As before you will be the only Jvara. May he, whom I have created, dissolve in me" (13–18).

Thereupon knowing himself possessed by Jvara Purosottama created another for its destruction. With his energy, the energetic Janārddana, of dreadful power, created a dreadful Jvara, highly terrible unto creatures. Catching hold, by force, of the former Jvara the one, created by Krishna, presented it before him. Having thus driven out that Jvara from his body through one created by him the highly powerful and angry Vāsudeva struck him down on the ground and was about to tear him into pieces. Thereat Jvara, bewildered, said "O Janārddana, it behoveth thee to protect me." However while Krishna, of incomparable energy, was about to strike that Jvara on the ground an invisible voice was heard in the sky:—"O Krishna, O large-armed Krishna, the enhancer of the delight of the Yādavas, do not kill this Jvara. O sinless one, he is worthy of being protected by thee" (5–12). Thus addressed Hari, the lord of the past, future and present and the great preceptor of the world let Jvara off. Thereupon prostrating himself with bent head at Hrishikesha's feet Jvara said:—"O descendant of Yadu, O Govinda, hear what I have to submit unto thee. Hear, O large-armed deity, what I have got in my mind and do thou accomplish it. O lord, I pray from thee for this boon only that I may be the only Jvara in this world and no one else may flourish."

Thereupon knowing himself possessed by Jvara Purosottama created another for its destruction. With his energy, the energetic Janārddana, of dreadful power, created a dreadful Jvara, highly terrible unto creatures. Catching hold, by force, of the former Jvara the one, created by Krishna, presented it before him. Having thus driven out that Jvara from his body through one created by him the highly powerful and angry Vāsudeva struck him down on the ground and was about to tear him into pieces. Thereat Jvara, bewildered, said "O Janārddana, it behoveth thee to protect me." However while Krishna, of incomparable energy, was about to strike that Jvara on the ground an invisible voice was heard in the sky:—"O Krishna, O large-armed Krishna, the enhancer of the delight of the Yādavas, do not kill this Jvara. O sinless one, he is worthy of being protected by thee" (5–12). Thus addressed Hari, the lord of the past, future and present and the great preceptor of the world let Jvara off. Thereupon prostrating himself with bent head at Hrishikesha's feet Jvara said:—"O descendant of Yadu, O Govinda, hear what I have to submit unto thee. Hear, O large-armed deity, what I have got in my mind and do thou accomplish it. O lord, I pray from thee for this boon only that I may be the only Jvara in this world and no one else may flourish." The lord said:—"It is proper to confer a boon on one who prays for it. Besides you have sought my protection. May you fare well therefore, O Jvara. You will have what you are praying for. As before you will be the only Jvara. May he, whom I have created, dissolve in me" (13–18).
