Verse 1 (1.79.1)

Then Yayati, son of Nahusha, with Puru's youth, became a young prince rich in beauty and vigour. Full of joy, that best of kings enjoyed the pleasures he loved.

He satisfied the gods with sacrifices, and the ancestors likewise with shraddha rites; the poor with the kindnesses they longed for, and the best of the twice-born with whatever they desired.

Note on the text: Corrected तद्वित् → तद्वत् (misprint in Wikisource; the sense needs "likewise", as in the critical edition's tadvat).

Verse 4 (1.79.4)

अतिथीनन्नपानैश्च विशश्च परिपालनैः । आनृशंस्येन शूद्रांश्च दस्यून्सन्निग्रहेण च ॥

dharmeṇa ca prajāḥ sarvā yathāvadanurañjayan | yayātiḥ pālayāmāsa sākṣādindra ivāparaḥ

Gladdening all his subjects rightly and by dharma, Yayati ruled them like a second Indra in person.

Verse 6 (1.79.6)

स राजा सिंहविक्रान्तो युवा विषयगोचरः । अविरोधेन धर्मस्य चचार सुखमुत्तमम् ॥

sa rājā siṃhavikrānto yuvā viṣayagocaraḥ | avirodhena dharmasya cacāra sukhamuttamam

Verse 8 (1.79.8)

परिसंख्याय कालज्ञः कलाः काष्ठाश्च वीर्यवान् । यौवनं प्राप्य राजर्षिः सहस्रपरिवत्सरान् ॥

parisaṃkhyāya kālajñaḥ kalāḥ kāṣṭhāśca vīryavān | yauvanaṃ prāpya rājarṣiḥ sahasraparivatsarān

"As I wished, as my zeal allowed and at the proper times, O tamer of foes, I have enjoyed the pleasures of the senses with your youth, my son.

Verse 12 (1.79.12)

न जातु कामः कामानामुपभोगेन शाम्यति । हविषा कृष्णवर्त्मेव भूय एवाभिवर्धते ॥

na jātu kāmaḥ kāmānāmupabhogena śāmyati | haviṣā kṛṣṇavartmeva bhūya evābhivardhate

yatpṛthivyāṃ vrīhiyavaṃ hiraṇyaṃ paśavaḥ striyaḥ | ekasyāpi na paryāptaṃ tasmāttṛṣṇāṃ parityajet

All the rice and barley on earth, the gold, the cattle and the women, are not enough for even one man; therefore one should give up craving.

Note on the text: Corrected तस्मान्नृष्णां → तस्मात्तृष्णां (misprint in Wikisource; न for त, the word is तृष्णा as in the next verse). Not in the critical edition (found in the vulgate recension).

या दुस्त्यजा दुर्मतिभिर्या न जीर्यति जीर्यतः । योऽसौ प्राणान्तिको रोगस्तांतृष्णां त्यजतः सुखम् ॥

yā dustyajā durmatibhiryā na jīryati jīryataḥ | yo'sau prāṇāntiko rogastāṃtṛṣṇāṃ tyajataḥ sukham

Craving, which the foolish find hard to give up, which does not grow old even as a man grows old, which is a sickness that lasts until life ends: happiness belongs to the one who gives it up.

pūro prīto'smi bhadraṃ te gṛhāṇedaṃ svayauvanam | rājyaṃ cedaṃ gṛhāṇa tvaṃ yāvadicchasi yauvanam | tāvaddīrghāyuṣā bhuṅkṣva tvaṃ hi me priyakṛtsutaḥ

Puru, I am pleased with you; may all be well with you. Take back this youth of yours, and take this kingdom too. For as long as you wish to keep your youth, enjoy it with long life, for you are the son who has done what I wanted."

Note on the text: Removed wiki quote marks (` and '). Corrected भुङ्ख → भुङ्क्ष्व (misprint in Wikisource; the imperative of भुज् needs क्ष्व, as in the critical edition's apparatus bhuṅkṣva).

kathaṃ śukrasya naptāraṃ devayānyāḥ sutaṃ prabho | jyeṣṭhaṃ yadumatikramya rājyaṃ pūroḥ prayacchasi

"Lord, how can you pass over Yadu, the eldest, grandson of Shukra and son of Devayani, and give the kingdom to Puru?

Verse 21 (1.79.21)

यदुर्ज्येष्ठस्तव सुतो जातस्तमनु तुर्वसुः । शर्मिष्ठायाः सुतो द्रुह्युस्ततोऽनुः पूरुरेव च ॥

Verse 24 (1.79.24)

मम ज्येष्ठेन यदुना नियोगो नानुपालितः । प्रतिकूलः पितुर्यश्च न स पुत्रः सतां मतः ॥

mama jyeṣṭhena yadunā niyogo nānupālitaḥ | pratikūlaḥ pituryaśca na sa putraḥ satāṃ mataḥ

Yadu, my eldest, did not carry out my command. A son who sets himself against his father is not counted a son by the good.

मातापित्रोर्वचनकृद्धितः पथ्यश्च यः सुतः । स पुत्रः पुत्रवद्यश्च वर्तते पितृमातृषु ॥

Verse 26 (1.79.26)

पुदिति नरकस्याख्या दुःखं च नरकं विदुः । पुतस्त्राणात्ततः पुत्त्रमिहेच्छन्ति परत्र च ॥

puditi narakasyākhyā duḥkhaṃ ca narakaṃ viduḥ | putastrāṇāttataḥ puttramihecchanti paratra ca

ātmanaḥ sadṛśaḥ putraḥ pitṛdevarṣipūjane | yo bahūnāṃ guṇakaraḥ sa putro jyeṣṭha ucyate

A son who is like his father in honouring the ancestors, the gods and the seers, and who does good to many, is called the eldest.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition (found in the vulgate recension).

Verse 28 (1.79.28)

मूकोऽन्धो बधिरः श्वित्री स्वधर्मं नानुतिष्ठति । चोरः किल्बिषिकः पुत्रो ज्येष्ठो न ज्येष्ठ उच्यते ॥

mūko'ndho badhiraḥ śvitrī svadharmaṃ nānutiṣṭhati | coraḥ kilbiṣikaḥ putro jyeṣṭho na jyeṣṭha ucyate

A son who is dumb, blind, deaf or leprous, who does not follow his own dharma, a thief or a sinner, is not called the eldest even if he is the eldest.

Verse 29 (1.79.29)

ज्येष्ठांशहारी गुणकृदिह लोके परत्र च । श्रेयान्पुत्रो गुणोपेतः स पुत्रो नेतरो वृथा । वदन्ति धर्मं धर्मज्ञाः पितॄणां पुत्रकारणात् ॥

jyeṣṭhāṃśahārī guṇakṛdiha loke paratra ca | śreyānputro guṇopetaḥ sa putro netaro vṛthā | vadanti dharmaṃ dharmajñāḥ pitṝṇāṃ putrakāraṇāt

The son who does good takes the eldest's share, in this world and the next. The son endowed with virtues is the better; he is the true son, and the other is a son in vain. Those who know dharma declare this to be dharma, since a son exists for the sake of the ancestors.

Verse 30 (1.79.30)

वेदोक्तं संभवं मह्यमनेन हृदयोद्भवम् । तस्य जातमिदं कृत्स्नमात्मा पुत्र इति श्रुतिः ॥

vedoktaṃ saṃbhavaṃ mahyamanena hṛdayodbhavam | tasya jātamidaṃ kṛtsnamātmā putra iti śrutiḥ

Verse 31 (1.79.31)

यदुनाऽहमवज्ञातस्तथा तुर्वसुनापि च । द्रुह्युना चानुना चैव मय्यवज्ञा कृता भृशम् ॥

yadunā'hamavajñātastathā turvasunāpi ca | druhyunā cānunā caiva mayyavajñā kṛtā bhṛśam

Yadu held me in contempt, and so did Turvasu; Druhyu and Anu too treated me with great disrespect.

Note on the text: Corrected मय्यवज्ञ → मय्यवज्ञा (misprint in Wikisource; dropped vowel sign, the feminine noun अवज्ञा goes with कृता, as in the critical edition).

Verse 32 (1.79.32)

पूरुणा तु कृतं वाक्यं मानितं च विशेषतः । कनीयान्मम दायादो धृता येन जरा मम ॥

pūruṇā tu kṛtaṃ vākyaṃ mānitaṃ ca viśeṣataḥ | kanīyānmama dāyādo dhṛtā yena jarā mama

But Puru did as I asked and honoured my word above all. My youngest, who bore my old age, is my heir.

putro yastvā'nuvarteta sa rājā pṛthivīpatiḥ | yo vānuvartī putrāṇāṃ sa putro dāyabhāgbhavet

"The son who follows your wishes shall be king and lord of the earth." And the son among the sons who follows his father's will is the one who should inherit.

bhavato'nunayāmyevaṃ pūrū rājye'bhiṣicyatām

So I entreat you: let Puru be consecrated in the kingdom.

Note on the text: Wikisource prints the speaker line प्रकृतय ऊचुः after this line, in the middle of its verse 35; the verse is divided there, and its second line (यः पुत्रो…) goes with the people's reply in the next verse. = 1.80.21e of the critical edition.

Verse 36 (1.79.36)

यः पुत्रो गुणसंपन्नो मातापित्रोर्हितः सदा । सर्वमर्हति कल्याणं कनीयानपि सत्तमः । वेदधर्मार्थशास्त्रेषु मुनिभिः कथितं पुरा ॥

yaḥ putro guṇasaṃpanno mātāpitrorhitaḥ sadā | sarvamarhati kalyāṇaṃ kanīyānapi sattamaḥ | vedadharmārthaśāstreṣu munibhiḥ kathitaṃ purā

The son who is endowed with virtues and always seeks the good of his mother and father deserves every blessing, even if he is the youngest, for he is the best. So the sages declared of old in the Vedas and in the treatises on dharma and artha.

Note on the text: First line is Wikisource 35b, placed here after the speaker line प्रकृतय ऊचुः, where Wikisource prints it. Removed wiki quote marks (` and '). Corrected वेद धमार्थशास्त्रेषु → वेदधर्मार्थशास्त्रेषु (misprint in Wikisource; dropped र in धर्म and a broken compound, as in the critical edition's apparatus vedadharmārthaśāstreṣu). First two lines = 1.80.22; the last line is not in the critical edition (found in the vulgate recension).

Having given the kingdom to Puru, the king took the vow of life in the forest and left the city with brahmins and ascetics.

Verse 41 (1.79.41)

देवयान्या च सहितः शर्मिष्ठया च भारत । अकरोत्स वने राजा सभार्यस्तप उत्तमम् ॥

From Yadu were born the Yadavas; from Turvasu, it is remembered, the Yavanas; Druhyu's sons were the Bhojas; and from Anu came the Mleccha peoples.

Verse 43 (1.79.43)

पूरोस्तु पौरवो वंशो यत्र जातोऽसि पार्थिव । इदं वर्षसहस्राणि राज्यं कारयितुं वशी ॥

pūrostu pauravo vaṃśo yatra jāto'si pārthiva | idaṃ varṣasahasrāṇi rājyaṃ kārayituṃ vaśī
