On Meat, Gurus, Fasting, Continence and Holy Fords

Verse 1 (13.233.1)

भक्षयन्त्यपरे मांसं वर्जयन्त्यपरे भुवि । तन्मे वद महादेव भक्ष्याभक्ष्यस्य कारणम् ॥

bhakṣayantyapare māṃsaṃ varjayantyapare bhuvi | tanme vada mahādeva bhakṣyābhakṣyasya kāraṇam

“Some eat flesh, while others on this earth give it up. Tell me, great god, the reason behind what may be eaten and what may not.”

Note on the text: Restored from the critical edition's inline Appendix I No. 15 (after 13.134.57d), lines @015_2984-2985: Wikisource's page for this adhyaya (233) is a stray copy of Shanti Parva 12.359-360 (Narayaniya) apart from three genuine lines (labelled 13-233-62 to 64), so the real adhyaya is missing there. In the critical edition it is part of the continuous Appendix I No. 15 passage printed after 13.134.57d: Wikisource 232 ends at @015_2983 and Wikisource 234 begins at @015_3120, so Wikisource 233 is @015_2984-3119 (the page's own heading lines name its subjects: meat-eating and abstaining from it, honouring gurus, and bathing at holy fords). Written in Devanagari with the critical edition's words unchanged (hemistich lines paired into verses; verse divisions follow the sense). Uma asks. The CE heading "umā" is printed at line 2983 and the heading "maheśvaraḥ" at line 2985; going by the sense (lines 2984-2985 are the question, 2986 onward the answer), Uma speaks these two lines and Maheshvara begins at 2986.

Verse 2 (13.233.2)

मांसस्य भक्षणे दोषो यश्चास्याभक्षणे गुणः । तदहं कीर्तयिष्यामि तन्निबोध यथातथम् ॥

māṃsasya bhakṣaṇe doṣo yaścāsyābhakṣaṇe guṇaḥ | tadahaṃ kīrtayiṣyāmi tannibodha yathātatham

“The fault that lies in eating meat, and the merit that lies in not eating it — that I shall declare. Listen to it as it truly is.”

“Having immersed himself three times near the water, given the fee to the Brahmins, and worshipped at the temple of the god, let him then go back the way he came.”

Note on the text: Genuine page text (label 13-233-62), lines 3109-3110. Corrected जलाभ्यासे → जलाभ्याशे (misprint in Wikisource; स for श, "near the water"; CE 3109 jalābhyāśe). Matches the critical edition's inline Appendix I No. 15 (after 13.134.57d), lines @015_3109-3110, which is the same passage; the Sanskrit here is the genuine Wikisource page text (the same passage as in the CE Appendix), not a restoration. These are three of the only lines on the Wikisource page that belong to this adhyaya; the rest of the page is a stray copy of Shanti Parva 12.359-360 (Narayaniya) and is not translated. The speaker headings printed on the page belong to that stray text, so the speaker is taken from the context (Maheshvara answering Uma, as in the critical edition's Appendix I No. 15).

एतद्विधानं सर्वेषां तीर्थंतीर्थमिति प्रिये । समीपतीर्थस्नानात्तु दूरतीर्थं सुपूजितम् ॥

“This is the rule for all, beloved, for each and every holy ford. A distant ford is held in higher honour than bathing at one close by.”

Note on the text: Genuine page text (label 13-233-63), lines 3111-3112. The first line reads तीर्थंतीर्थमिति on the page; the critical edition has tīrthaṃ tīrthaṃ prati. The Wikisource reading is a valid form and is kept. Matches the critical edition's inline Appendix I No. 15 (after 13.134.57d), lines @015_3111-3112, which is the same passage; the Sanskrit here is the genuine Wikisource page text (the same passage as in the CE Appendix), not a restoration. Same stray page as the verse labelled 62.

Verse 66 (13.233.66)

आदिप्रभृतिशुद्धस्य तीर्थस्नानं शुभं भवेत् । तपोऽर्थं पापनाशार्थं शौचार्थं तीर्थगाहनम् ॥

ādiprabhṛtiśuddhasya tīrthasnānaṃ śubhaṃ bhavet | tapo'rthaṃ pāpanāśārthaṃ śaucārthaṃ tīrthagāhanam

“For one who has been pure from the beginning, bathing at a holy ford is auspicious. Entering a holy ford is for the sake of austerity, for the destruction of sin, and for purity.”

Note on the text: Genuine page text (label 13-233-64), lines 3113-3114. Corrected तपोर्थं → तपोऽर्थं (missing avagraha in Wikisource; CE 3114 taporthaṃ is the same word, tapo 'rtham). Matches the critical edition's inline Appendix I No. 15 (after 13.134.57d), lines @015_3113-3114, which is the same passage; the Sanskrit here is the genuine Wikisource page text (the same passage as in the CE Appendix), not a restoration. Same stray page as the verse labelled 62.

Verse 67 (13.233.67)

एवं पुण्येषु मासेषु तीर्थस्नानं शुभं भवेत् । एतन्नैयमिकं सर्वं सुकृतं कथितं तव ॥

evaṃ puṇyeṣu māseṣu tīrthasnānaṃ śubhaṃ bhavet | etannaiyamikaṃ sarvaṃ sukṛtaṃ kathitaṃ tava

“So, in the holy months, bathing at a holy ford is auspicious. All this good deed of observance has now been told to you.”

Written in Devanagari with the critical edition's words unchanged. The CE heading "maheśvaraḥ" is printed at line 3116; Maheshvara has been speaking since 3091, so the speaker does not change.

Verse 68 (13.233.68)

दानानि देवपूजां च पितृपूजां तथैव च । अन्यानि धर्मकार्याणि सुकृतं सोपसाधनम् । तत्सर्वं शृणु कल्याणि प्रजानां हितकाम्यया ॥

dānāni devapūjāṃ ca pitṛpūjāṃ tathaiva ca | anyāni dharmakāryāṇi sukṛtaṃ sopasādhanam | tatsarvaṃ śṛṇu kalyāṇi prajānāṃ hitakāmyayā
