Parva 2, Adhyāya 5

श्लोक 1–2 का हिन्दी अर्थ

वैशम्पायनजी कहते हैं—जनमेजय ! वसुदेवजीने सवसे पहले ही रोहिणीको ब्रजमें भेज दिया था। जब न्होंने सुना कि रोहिणीने पहले ही एक ऐसे पुत्रको नम दिया है, जिसका मुख चन्द्रमासे भी अधिक ान्तिमान्‌ है, तब वे तुरंत ही (कंसका कर चुकानेके लिये पत्नीसहित मथुरामें आये हुए) नन्दगोपके पास ताकर मड़लमयी वाणीमें बोले-'मित्र! तुम इन शोदाजीके साथ ही शीघ्र ब्रजको लौट जाओ

हिन्दी अर्थ

तत! वहाँ जाकर उन दोनों बालकोंको जातकर्म आदि स्कारोंसे सम्पन्न करके ब्रजमें ही सुखपूर्वक उनका ालन-पोषण और संवर्धन करो '

श्लोक 4–7 का हिन्दी अर्थ

ब्रजमें रोहिणीके भसे उत्पन्न हुआ जो मेरा शिशु पुत्र है, उसकी भी रक्षा रना। भाई ! मैं तो पितृपक्षोंमें पुत्रवानोंके द्वारा निन्दनीय ऐ होऊँगा; क्योंकि मैं ऐसा भाग्यहीन हूँ कि अपने एकमात्र शशुपुत्रका मुख नहीं देख पाता हूँ। यद्यपि मुझे स बातका ज्ञान है कि सुख-दुःख और संयोग-वियोग मादि प्रारब्धके ही अधीन हैं; तथापि निरन्तर बना हनेवाला भय मुझ बुद्धिमान्‌की भी बुद्धिको बलपूर्वक र लेता है। इस निर्दय कंससे मुझे सदा यह डर गा रहता है कि कहीं यह मेरे इस शिशुका भी ध न कर डाले। अत: तात! नन्दगोप! तुम मेरे पुत्र हिणीकुमारकी जिस उपायसे भी रक्षा कर सको, करो। ाल-द्रोहियोंके स्वरूपका यथावद्रूपसे विचार करके से बने, उसके जीवनकी रक्षा करो; क्योंकि जगतमें हुत-से ऐसे विश्न खड़े हुए हैं, जो बालकोंको त्रास रहे हैं

English

Casting his looks at Krishna and with his face soaked with perspiration Kansa, with his right hand, prevented the blowing of the bugle (37). Although his trumpets and bugles were not sounded the celestials in the sky began to blow their own. When the lotus-eyed Hrishikesha engaged in fight the sound of bugles arose of itself on all sides (39). Along with the Vidyadharas, the Devas, capable of assuming form at will, disappeared from view and began to pray for Krishna's victory (40). Stationed in the sky the seven Rishis exclaimed "O Krishna, vanquish the Dānava in the form of the wrestler Chānura" (41). Wrestling with Chānura for a long time, Devaki's son, who foresaw Kansa's death, stole away his strength (42). Thereat the earth trembled, the pavillions rolled and the most excellent jewel slipped off from Kansa's crown (45). Thereupon again throwing down the reviving Chānura by his arms Krishna pressed his breast with his knees and struck him on the head with his fist (44). Thereat his eyes, covered with tears and blood, were driven out of their sockets. And hanging on his side they appeared like golden bells (45). Thus with his eyes drawn out Chānura, shorn of his strength and life, lay in the arena (46). With the body of the wrestler Chānura, deprived of his life, that big arena appeared is if to have been obstructed by a mountain (47).

English

After Chānura, proud of his strength, had been slain Rohini's son engaged with Mushthika and Krishna with Toshala again (48). In the first challenge, those two wrestlers, beside themselves with anger, as if urged on by Destiny met Rāma and Krishna (49). Thrown down by a gust of wind they began to leap and bound in the arena. Taking up Toshala, huge as a mountain summit and whirling him for a hundred times the powerful Krishna grinded him on the earth (50). Then profuse blood gushed out of the mouth of that powerful wrestler attacked and assailed by Krishna. And he was on the point of death (51). Displaying various circular feats and fighting for a long time with Mushthika, and the wrestler Andhra the energetic and powerful athlete Baladeva struck his head with his fist resembling a cloud accompanied by a thunderbolt (52–53). Thereat his brain came out and his eyes were displaced. When he fell down slain on earth the multitude sent up a great shout (54). Having thus slain Toshala and Andhra, Krishna and Sangkarshana, with eyes reddened in anger, began to move about with leaps and bounds in the arena (55). At that time the great wrestlers Andhra and Chānura being slain that grim looking arena grew void of wrestlers (56). With all their limbs trembling waited there the Gopa spectators headed by Nanda (57). With her limbs trembling, her breast pained with the discharge of milk and eyes bathed in tears of joy Devaki began to see Krishna (58). Vasudeva, who had his eyes agitated by tears on seeing Krisana, became youthful as if casting off his decrepitude (59). As if through the black-bees of their respective glances, the courtesans drank the lotus countenance of Krishna (60). There were seen drops of perspiration on Kansa's face for seeing Krishna and of anger between his eye-brows (61). His heart was fanned by the breaths of anger accompanied by smoke-like thoughts of Keshava's destruction and was consumed by the fire of mental anxiety (62). His lips trembling in anger and the painted lines on his forehead being washed off by perspiration his body appeared like the crimson-coloured sun (63). As dew-drops, falling from a tree, appear when smitten by the rays of the sun so appeared the drops of perspiration falling from his face reddened with anger (64). Thereupon greatly worked up with anger Kansa issued a mandate to dreadful persons, saying:—"Turn out of the arena these two sinful, grim-visaged and forest-ranging young cow-herds. I do not wish to see them. Amongst the Gopas none deserves residence in my territory (65–66). This Nanda Gopa is wicked and is bent upon committing injury to me. Therefore assail him with iron chains and spikes (67). Although Vasudeva is my kinsman he is highly wicked. Therefore punish him even today in such a way which persons not, aged, deserve (68). The other inferior Gopas, whom you see, are all devoted to Krishna. Therefore take away from them their kine and other riches" (69).
