Kashyapa's Boons to Kadru and Vinata

Verse 1 (13.20.1)

युधिष्ठिर महाबाहो शृणु राजन्यथातथम् । गरुडं पक्षिणां श्रेष्ठं वैनतेयं महाबलम् ॥

yudhiṣṭhira mahābāho śṛṇu rājanyathātatham | garuḍaṃ pakṣiṇāṃ śreṣṭhaṃ vainateyaṃ mahābalam

Mighty-armed Yudhishthira, listen, O king, exactly as it was, about Garuda, the best of birds, Vinata's son of great strength.

Note on the text: The speaker heading (`भीष्म उवाच) slipped into the text; removed from the verse and made the speaker (the page's heading carries a stray backtick, 13-20-1x, so the parser left the speaker empty). Not in the critical edition's constituted text: lines 17-18 of the CE's inline Appendix I passage (App. I No. 1A, printed after the end of No. 1 as 13.8.28d@001A_0017-0018); Wikisource divides it into verses differently. It continues adhyaya 19. The three summary lines printed above the page's table (headings for the story of Kashyapa, Kadru and Vinata) are not verses and are not added.

Verse 2 (13.20.2)

तथा च गरुडो राजन्सुपर्णश्च यथाऽभवत् । यथा च भुजगान्हन्ति तथा मे ब्रुवतः शृणु ॥

tathā ca garuḍo rājansuparṇaśca yathā'bhavat | yathā ca bhujagānhanti tathā me bruvataḥ śṛṇu

Listen as I tell you how Garuda and Suparna came to be, O king, and how he kills serpents.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition's constituted text: lines 19-20 of the CE's inline Appendix I passage (App. I No. 1A, printed after the end of No. 1 as 13.8.28d@001A_0019-0020); Wikisource divides it into verses differently.

Verse 3 (13.20.3)

पुराऽहं तात रामेण जामदग्न्येन धीमता । कैलासशिखरे रम्ये मृगान्निघ्नन्सहस्रशः ॥

purā'haṃ tāta rāmeṇa jāmadagnyena dhīmatā | kailāsaśikhare ramye mṛgānnighnansahasraśaḥ

Long ago, dear child, I fell in with the wise Rama, son of Jamadagni, on the lovely peak of Kailasa, as I was killing deer by the thousand.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition's constituted text: lines 21-22 of the CE's inline Appendix I passage (App. I No. 1A, printed after the end of No. 1 as 13.8.28d@001A_0021-0022); Wikisource divides it into verses differently. Corrected रामेणि → रामेण (misprint in Wikisource; the page's own footnote reads रामेण सङ्गत, and the critical edition's passage reads rāmeṇa).

Verse 4 (13.20.4)

तमहं तात दृष्ट्वैव शस्त्राण्युत्सृज्य सर्वशः । अभिवाद्य पूर्वं रामाय विनयेनोपतस्थिवान् ॥

tamahaṃ tāta dṛṣṭvaiva śastrāṇyutsṛjya sarvaśaḥ | abhivādya pūrvaṃ rāmāya vinayenopatasthivān

On seeing him, dear child, I laid aside all my weapons, first saluted Rama, and humbly stood before him.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition's constituted text: lines 23-24 of the CE's inline Appendix I passage (App. I No. 1A, printed after the end of No. 1 as 13.8.28d@001A_0023-0024); Wikisource divides it into verses differently. Corrected दृष्टैव → दृष्ट्वैव and शस्त्रण्युत्सृज्य → शस्त्राण्युत्सृज्य (misprints in Wikisource; dropped ्व and ा, as in the critical edition's dṛṣṭvaiva and śastrāṇy utsṛjya).

Verse 5 (13.20.5)

तमहं कथान्ते वरदं सुपर्णस्य बलौजसी । अपृच्छं स च मां प्रीतः प्रत्युवाच युधिष्ठिर ॥

tamahaṃ kathānte varadaṃ suparṇasya balaujasī | apṛcchaṃ sa ca māṃ prītaḥ pratyuvāca yudhiṣṭhira

At the end of our talk I asked that giver of boons about the strength and vigour of Suparna, and he, pleased, answered me, Yudhishthira.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition's constituted text: lines 25-26 of the CE's inline Appendix I passage (App. I No. 1A, printed after the end of No. 1 as 13.8.28d@001A_0025-0026); Wikisource divides it into verses differently.

Verse 6 (13.20.6)

कद्रूश्च विनता चास्तां प्रजापतिसुते उभे । ते तु धर्मेणोपयेमे मारीचः कश्यपः प्रभुः ॥

kadrūśca vinatā cāstāṃ prajāpatisute ubhe | te tu dharmeṇopayeme mārīcaḥ kaśyapaḥ prabhuḥ

Kadru and Vinata were both daughters of Prajapati. Kashyapa, the lord, son of Marichi, married the two of them according to dharma.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition's constituted text: lines 27-28 of the CE's inline Appendix I passage (App. I No. 1A, printed after the end of No. 1 as 13.8.28d@001A_0027-0028); Wikisource divides it into verses differently.

Verse 7 (13.20.7)

प्रादात्ताभ्यां वरं प्रीतो भार्याभ्यां सुमहातपाः ॥

prādāttābhyāṃ varaṃ prīto bhāryābhyāṃ sumahātapāḥ

Pleased, that great ascetic gave a boon to his two wives.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition's constituted text: line 29 of the CE's inline Appendix I passage (App. I No. 1A, printed after the end of No. 1 as 13.8.28d@001A_0029); Wikisource divides it into verses differently. A single line, as on the page (13-20-7a).

Verse 8 (13.20.8)

तत्र कद्रूर्वरं वव्रे पुत्राणां दशतः शतम् । तुल्यतेजःप्रभावानां सर्वेषां तुल्यजन्मनाम् ॥

tatra kadrūrvaraṃ vavre putrāṇāṃ daśataḥ śatam | tulyatejaḥprabhāvānāṃ sarveṣāṃ tulyajanmanām

Verse 9 (13.20.9)

विनता तु वव्रे द्वौ पुत्रौ वीरौ भरतसत्तम । कद्रूपुत्रसहस्रेण तुल्यवेगपराक्रमौ ॥

vinatā tu vavre dvau putrau vīrau bharatasattama | kadrūputrasahasreṇa tulyavegaparākramau

Vinata chose two heroic sons, best of the Bharatas, who in speed and prowess would each equal Kadru's thousand sons.

Verse 10 (13.20.10)

स तु ताभ्यां वरं प्रादात्तथेत्युक्त्वा महातपाः । जनयामास तान्पुत्रांस्ताभ्यामासीद्यथा पुरा ॥

sa tu tābhyāṃ varaṃ prādāttathetyuktvā mahātapāḥ | janayāmāsa tānputrāṃstābhyāmāsīdyathā purā

That great ascetic said, 'So be it,' and gave them the boon; and he begot those sons upon the two of them, as before.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition's constituted text: lines 34-35 of the CE's inline Appendix I passage (App. I No. 1A, printed after the end of No. 1 as 13.8.28d@001A_0034-0035); Wikisource divides it into verses differently. Corrected तान्पुत्रां स्ताभ्याम् → तान्पुत्रांस्ताभ्याम् (stray space in Wikisource inside the sandhi putrāṃs tābhyām, as in the critical edition).

Verse 11 (13.20.11)

कद्रूः प्रजज्ञे ह्यण्डानां तथैव दशतःशतम् । अण्डे द्वे विनता चैव दर्शनीयतरे शुभे ॥

kadrūḥ prajajñe hyaṇḍānāṃ tathaiva daśataḥśatam | aṇḍe dve vinatā caiva darśanīyatare śubhe

Kadru gave birth to eggs, a thousand, ten times a hundred, and Vinata to two eggs, lovelier to look upon and auspicious.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition's constituted text: lines 36-37 of the CE's inline Appendix I passage (App. I No. 1A, printed after the end of No. 1 as 13.8.28d@001A_0036-0037); Wikisource divides it into verses differently.

Verse 12 (13.20.12)

तानि त्वण्डानि तु तयोः कद्रूविनतयोर्द्वयोः । सोपस्वेदेषु पात्रेषु निदधुः परिचारिणः ॥

tāni tvaṇḍāni tu tayoḥ kadrūvinatayordvayoḥ | sopasvedeṣu pātreṣu nidadhuḥ paricāriṇaḥ

Those eggs of the two, of Kadru and of Vinata, the attendants placed in warm vessels.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition's constituted text: lines 38-39 of the CE's inline Appendix I passage (App. I No. 1A, printed after the end of No. 1 as 13.8.28d@001A_0038-0039); Wikisource divides it into verses differently.

निस्सरन्ति तदाऽण्डेभ्यः कद्रूपुत्रा भुजङ्गमाः । पञ्चवर्षशते काले दृष्ट्वाऽमोघबलौजसः ॥

nissaranti tadā'ṇḍebhyaḥ kadrūputrā bhujaṅgamāḥ | pañcavarṣaśate kāle dṛṣṭvā'moghabalaujasaḥ

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition's constituted text: lines 40-41 of the CE's inline Appendix I passage (App. I No. 1A, printed after the end of No. 1 as 13.8.28d@001A_0040-0041); Wikisource divides it into verses differently.

Verse 14 (13.20.14)

विनता तेषु जातेषु पन्नगेषु महात्मसु । विपुत्रा पुत्रसंतापादण्डमेकं बिभेद ह ॥

vinatā teṣu jāteṣu pannageṣu mahātmasu | viputrā putrasaṃtāpādaṇḍamekaṃ bibheda ha

Corrected पुत्रसंतापाद्दण्डमेकं → पुत्रसंतापादण्डमेकं (misprint in Wikisource; द्द for द, so that the word aṇḍam is lost, as in the critical edition's putrasaṃtāpād aṇḍam ekaṃ).

Verse 15 (13.20.15)

किमनेन करिष्येऽहमिति वाक्यमभाषत । नहि पञ्चशते काले पुरा पुत्रौ ददर्श सा ॥

kimanena kariṣye'hamiti vākyamabhāṣata | nahi pañcaśate kāle purā putrau dadarśa sā

सापश्यदण्डान्निष्क्रान्तं विनापत्रं मनस्विनम् । पूर्वकायोपसम्पन्नं वियुक्तमितरेण ह ॥

sāpaśyadaṇḍānniṣkrāntaṃ vināpatraṃ manasvinam | pūrvakāyopasampannaṃ viyuktamitareṇa ha

अब्रवीच्च मुदा युक्तः पर्यश्रुनयनस्तदा । मातरं चपलासीति हतोऽहमिति चासकृत् ॥

abravīcca mudā yuktaḥ paryaśrunayanastadā | mātaraṃ capalāsīti hato'hamiti cāsakṛt

Then, joyful yet with eyes full of tears, he said to his mother, again and again, 'You are fickle! I am ruined!'

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition's constituted text: lines 50-51 of the CE's inline Appendix I passage (App. I No. 1A, printed after the end of No. 1 as 13.8.28d@001A_0050-0051); Wikisource divides it into verses differently. Corrected मातरं च पलाशी ह → मातरं चपलासीति (misprint in Wikisource, which has resegmented capalāsi iti into च पलाशी ह and left no meaning; the critical edition's passage reads mātaraṃ capalāsīti).

Verse 19 (13.20.19)

न त्वया काङ्क्षितः कालो यावानेवात्यगात्पुरा । आवां भवाव पुत्रौ ते श्वसनाद्बलवत्तरौ ॥

na tvayā kāṅkṣitaḥ kālo yāvānevātyagātpurā | āvāṃ bhavāva putrau te śvasanādbalavattarau

You did not wait out the time, though so long had already passed; we two would have become your sons, stronger than the wind.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition's constituted text: lines 52-53 of the CE's inline Appendix I passage (App. I No. 1A, printed after the end of No. 1 as 13.8.28d@001A_0052-0053); Wikisource divides it into verses differently. The page prints no heading for this speech; it is Aruna's address to his mother (direct speech filling the verse), so it is given to him. Corrected भवाय → भवाव (misprint in Wikisource; य for व, as in the critical edition's bhavāva).

Verse 20 (13.20.20)

ईर्ष्याक्रोधाभिभूतत्वाद्योऽहमेवं कृतस्त्वया । तस्मात्त्वमपि मे मातर्दासीभावं गमिष्यसि ॥

īrṣyākrodhābhibhūtatvādyo'hamevaṃ kṛtastvayā | tasmāttvamapi me mātardāsībhāvaṃ gamiṣyasi

Because jealousy and anger overcame you, I have been made thus by you; therefore, mother, you too will become a slave.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition's constituted text: lines 54-55 of the CE's inline Appendix I passage (App. I No. 1A, printed after the end of No. 1 as 13.8.28d@001A_0054-0055); Wikisource divides it into verses differently. The page prints no heading for this speech; it is Aruna's, so it is given to him. Corrected द्योहमेवं → द्योऽहमेवं (missing avagraha in Wikisource, as in the critical edition's yo 'ham).

Verse 21 (13.20.21)

पञ्चवर्षशतानि त्वं स्पर्धसे वै यया सह । दासी तस्या भवित्रीति साश्रुपातमुवाच ह ॥

pañcavarṣaśatāni tvaṃ spardhase vai yayā saha | dāsī tasyā bhavitrīti sāśrupātamuvāca ha

'You will become the slave of the one with whom you have been rivalling for five hundred years,' he said, weeping.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition's constituted text: lines 56-57 of the CE's inline Appendix I passage (App. I No. 1A, printed after the end of No. 1 as 13.8.28d@001A_0056-0057); Wikisource divides it into verses differently. The verse is Aruna's words with the narrator's closing phrase (साश्रुपातमुवाच ह) in line 2, so it is kept with the narrator, Bhishma.

Verse 22 (13.20.22)

एष चैव महाभागे बली बलवतांवरः । मोक्षयिष्यति ते मातर्दासीभावान्ममानुजः ॥

eṣa caiva mahābhāge balī balavatāṃvaraḥ | mokṣayiṣyati te mātardāsībhāvānmamānujaḥ

And this younger brother of mine, O fortunate one, strong and the best of the strong, will free you, mother, from slavery.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition's constituted text: lines 58-59 of the CE's inline Appendix I passage (App. I No. 1A, printed after the end of No. 1 as 13.8.28d@001A_0058-0059); Wikisource divides it into verses differently. The page prints no heading for this speech; it is Aruna's, so it is given to him. Removed the closing quote with the doubled danda (।।') by which Wikisource ends the passage it opened with a backtick in the heading of 20.1.
