Krishna Describes the Greatness of Rudra

Verse 1 (13.265.1)

दुर्वाससः प्रसादात्ते शंकरांशस्य माधव । अवाप्तमिह विज्ञानं तन्मे व्याख्यातुमर्हसि ॥

durvāsasaḥ prasādātte śaṃkarāṃśasya mādhava | avāptamiha vijñānaṃ tanme vyākhyātumarhasi

O Madhava, through the grace of Durvasas, a portion of Shankara, you gained special knowledge here. Please explain it to me.

Note on the text: Corrected माघव → माधव (misprint in Wikisource; 'Mādhava', the vocative of Krishna, is meant). The critical edition has a different vocative here ('madhusūdana'), which is a recension variant.

Verse 2 (13.265.2)

महाभाग्यं च यत्तस्य नामानि च महात्मनः । तत्त्वतो ज्ञातुमिच्छामि सर्वं मतिमतांवर ॥

mahābhāgyaṃ ca yattasya nāmāni ca mahātmanaḥ | tattvato jñātumicchāmi sarvaṃ matimatāṃvara

I also wish to know truly his greatness and the names of that great-souled one, all of it, O best of the wise.

Note on the text: Corrected तत्त्वमो → तत्त्वतो (misprint in Wikisource; CE reads "tattvato").

Verse 3 (13.265.3)

हन्त ते कीर्तयिष्यामि नमस्कृत्य कपर्दिने । यदवाप्तं मया राजञ्श्रेयो यच्चार्जितं यशः ॥

hanta te kīrtayiṣyāmi namaskṛtya kapardine | yadavāptaṃ mayā rājañśreyo yaccārjitaṃ yaśaḥ

Very well, O king, I shall tell you, after bowing to the matted-haired Lord, what good I obtained and what fame I earned.

Note on the text: Corrected हन्ति → हन्त (misprint in Wikisource; the particle "hanta", CE "hanta"). The second line differs slightly from the critical edition ("mahārāja" for "राजन्"), a recension variant.

Verse 4 (13.265.4)

प्रयतः प्रातरुत्थाय यस्त्वधीयेद्विशाम्पते । प्राञ्जलिः शतरुद्रीयं नास्य किञ्चन दुर्लभम् ॥

prayataḥ prātarutthāya yastvadhīyedviśāmpate | prāñjaliḥ śatarudrīyaṃ nāsya kiñcana durlabham

O lord of men, whoever rises at dawn, pure and with joined palms, and recites the Shatarudriya, finds nothing hard to obtain.

Note on the text: Corrected किञ्चनि → किञ्चन (misprint in Wikisource; 'kiñcana', 'nothing'). The wording of both lines differs from the critical edition (13.145.4: 'yad adhīye … tan me nigadataḥ śṛṇu'), a recension variant kept as printed.

Verse 5 (13.265.5)

शिवः सर्वगतो रुद्रः स्रष्टा यस्तं शृणुष्व मे । प्रजापतिस्तमसृजत्तमसोऽन्ते महातपाः । शङ्करस्त्वसृजत्तात प्रजाः स्थावरजङ्गमाः ॥

śivaḥ sarvagato rudraḥ sraṣṭā yastaṃ śṛṇuṣva me | prajāpatistamasṛjattamaso'nte mahātapāḥ | śaṅkarastvasṛjattāta prajāḥ sthāvarajaṅgamāḥ

Shiva, the all-pervading Rudra, is the creator; listen to me about him. The Prajapati of great austerity created him at the end of the darkness. But Shankara, dear one, created the beings, moving and unmoving.

Note on the text: Three-line verse as printed (13-265-5a,b,c). First line, which Wikisource printed in backticks and quote marks (removed), corresponds to CE star passage 13,145.004d*0671_01; corrected सर्वकतो → सर्वगतो and यस्त्वं → यस्तं (misprints in Wikisource; CE star line reads 'sarvagato … yas taṃ'). Second and third lines = CE 13.145.5 (Wikisource reads 'तमसृजत्तमसोऽन्ते' where CE has 'tat sasṛje tapaso ’nte'; kept as the vulgate reading).

Verse 6 (13.265.6)

नास्ति किञ्चित्परं भूतं महादेवाद्विशाम्पते । इह त्रिष्वपि लोकेषु भूतानां प्रभवो हि सः ॥

nāsti kiñcitparaṃ bhūtaṃ mahādevādviśāmpate | iha triṣvapi lokeṣu bhūtānāṃ prabhavo hi saḥ

There is no being higher than Mahadeva, O lord of men; for he is the source of all beings in these three worlds.

Verse 7 (13.265.7)

न चैवोत्सहते स्थातुं कश्चिदग्रे महात्मनः । न हि भूतं समं तेन त्रिषु लोकेषु विद्यते ॥

na caivotsahate sthātuṃ kaścidagre mahātmanaḥ | na hi bhūtaṃ samaṃ tena triṣu lokeṣu vidyate

No one can hold his ground before that great-souled one; in the three worlds there is no being equal to him.

Verse 8 (13.265.8)

गन्धेनापि हि सङ्ग्रामे तस्य क्रुद्धस्य शत्रवः । विसंज्ञा हतभूयिष्ठा वेपन्ति च पतन्ति च ॥

gandhenāpi hi saṅgrāme tasya kruddhasya śatravaḥ | visaṃjñā hatabhūyiṣṭhā vepanti ca patanti ca

In battle, at the mere scent of him when he is angry, his enemies lose their senses; most of them are struck dead, and the rest tremble and fall.

Note on the text: Corrected वेपनेते → वेपन्ति (misprint in Wikisource; CE reads 'vepanti').

Verse 9 (13.265.9)

घोरं च निनदं तस्य पर्जन्यनिनदोपमम् । श्रुत्वा विशीर्येद्धृदयं देवानामपि संयुगे । यं चाक्ष्णा घोररूपेण पश्येद्दग्धः पतेदधः ॥

ghoraṃ ca ninadaṃ tasya parjanyaninadopamam | śrutvā viśīryeddhṛdayaṃ devānāmapi saṃyuge | yaṃ cākṣṇā ghorarūpeṇa paśyeddagdhaḥ patedadhaḥ

Hearing his terrible roar, which is like the thunder of a rain cloud, even the gods' hearts would burst in battle; and the one on whom he casts his dreadful eye falls down burned, head downward.

Note on the text: Corrected पर्जन्यनिनदोपम् → पर्जन्यनिनदोपमम् (misprint in Wikisource; dropped final syllable, CE reads 'parjanyaninadopamam'). Three-line verse as printed (13-265-9a,b,c): lines 1-2 = CE 13.145.9; the third line is the vulgate's counterpart of CE 13.145.10a ('yāṃś ca ghoreṇa rūpeṇa paśyet kruddhaḥ pinākadhṛk'), worded differently and kept as printed.

Verse 10 (13.265.10)

न सुरा नासुरा लोके न गन्धर्वा न पन्नगाः । कुपिते सुखमेधन्ते तस्मिन्नपि गुहागताः ॥

na surā nāsurā loke na gandharvā na pannagāḥ | kupite sukhamedhante tasminnapi guhāgatāḥ

Neither gods nor asuras in the world, neither gandharvas nor serpents, find any happiness when he is angry, even if they have gone into hiding in caves.

Note on the text: Corresponds to CE 13.145.10c,e (13.145.10a is the vulgate third line of the previous verse).

Verse 11 (13.265.11)

प्रजापतेश्च दक्षस्य यजतो वितते क्रतौ । विव्याध कुपितो यज्ञं निर्भयस्तु भवस्तदा ॥

prajāpateśca dakṣasya yajato vitate kratau | vivyādha kupito yajñaṃ nirbhayastu bhavastadā

When Prajapati Daksha was performing his sacrifice, with the rite fully spread out, Bhava, angry and fearless, pierced the sacrifice.

Note on the text: Corresponds to CE 13.145.11a,c; the third line of the CE verse (11e) is the next Wikisource verse.

Verse 12 (13.265.12)

धनुषा वाणमुत्सृज्य सुघोरं विननाद च ॥

dhanuṣā vāṇamutsṛjya sughoraṃ vinanāda ca

Letting his arrow fly from the bow, he gave a terrible roar.

Note on the text: One-line verse as printed (13-265-12a); = CE 13.145.11e ('dhanuṣā bāṇam utsṛjya saghoṣaṃ vinanāda ca'); Wikisource reads 'सुघोरं' for 'saghoṣaṃ', a recension variant.

Verse 13 (13.265.13)

ते न शर्म कुतः शान्तिं विषादं लेभिरे सुराः । विद्धे च सहसा यज्ञे कुपिते च महेश्वरे ॥

te na śarma kutaḥ śāntiṃ viṣādaṃ lebhire surāḥ | viddhe ca sahasā yajñe kupite ca maheśvare

The gods found no comfort, and how could they find peace? They fell into despair when the sacrifice was suddenly pierced and Maheshvara was enraged.

Note on the text: Corrected शान्ति → शान्तिं (misprint in Wikisource; dropped anusvara of the accusative, CE 'śāntiṃ'). The second line reads 'विद्धे' for CE 'vidrute', a recension variant kept as printed.

Verse 14 (13.265.14)

तेन ज्यातलघोषेण सर्वे लोकाः समाकुलाः । बभूवुरवशाः पार्थ विषेदुश्च सुरासुराः ॥

tena jyātalaghoṣeṇa sarve lokāḥ samākulāḥ | babhūvuravaśāḥ pārtha viṣeduśca surāsurāḥ

The sound of his bowstring and the slap of his palm threw all the worlds into confusion, O Partha; the gods and asuras alike were helpless and downcast.

Verse 15 (13.265.15)

आपश्चुक्षुभिरे चैव चकम्पे च वसुन्धरः । व्यद्रवन्गिरयश्चापि द्यौः पफाल च सर्वशः ॥

āpaścukṣubhire caiva cakampe ca vasundharaḥ | vyadravangirayaścāpi dyauḥ paphāla ca sarvaśaḥ

The waters were churned, the earth shook, the mountains fled in terror, and the sky split open on every side.

Note on the text: Corrected व्यद्रवग्निरयश्चापि → व्यद्रवन्गिरयश्चापि (misprint in Wikisource; a nasal and a letter were dropped, CE reads 'vyadravan girayaś cāpi').

Verse 16 (13.265.16)

अन्धेन तमसा लोकाः प्रावृता न चकाशिरे । प्रनष्टा ज्योतिषां भाश्च सह सूर्येण भारत ॥

andhena tamasā lokāḥ prāvṛtā na cakāśire | pranaṣṭā jyotiṣāṃ bhāśca saha sūryeṇa bhārata

Shrouded in blind darkness, the worlds did not shine; the light of the luminaries was lost, and the sun with it, O Bharata.

Verse 17 (13.265.17)

भृशं भीतास्ततः शान्तिं चक्रुः स्वस्त्ययनानि च । ऋषयः सर्वभूतानामात्मनश्च हितैषिणः ॥

bhṛśaṃ bhītāstataḥ śāntiṃ cakruḥ svastyayanāni ca | ṛṣayaḥ sarvabhūtānāmātmanaśca hitaiṣiṇaḥ

Then the sages, who wished well to all beings and to themselves, were greatly afraid and performed rites of pacification and auspicious ceremonies.

Note on the text: Corrected चत्रुः → चक्रुः and हितैषिमः → हितैषिणः (misprints in Wikisource; CE reads "cakruḥ" and "hitaiṣiṇaḥ").

Verse 18 (13.265.18)

ततः सोऽभ्यद्रवद्देवान्रुद्रो रौद्रपराक्रमः । भगस्य नयने क्रुद्धः प्रहारेण व्यशातयत् ॥

tataḥ so'bhyadravaddevānrudro raudraparākramaḥ | bhagasya nayane kruddhaḥ prahāreṇa vyaśātayat

Then Rudra, terrible in prowess, rushed at the gods in anger, and with a blow he destroyed the eyes of Bhaga.

Verse 19 (13.265.19)

पूषणं चाभिदुद्राव घोरेण वपुषाऽन्वितः । पुरोडाशं भक्षयतो दशनान्वै व्यशातयत् ॥

pūṣaṇaṃ cābhidudrāva ghoreṇa vapuṣā'nvitaḥ | puroḍāśaṃ bhakṣayato daśanānvai vyaśātayat

He rushed also at Pushan, in a dreadful form, and broke his teeth as he was eating the sacrificial cake.

Verse 20 (13.265.20)

ततः प्रणेमुर्देवास्ते वेपमानाः स्म शङ्करम् । पुनश्च सन्दधे रुद्रो दीप्तं सुनिशितं शरम् ॥

tataḥ praṇemurdevāste vepamānāḥ sma śaṅkaram | punaśca sandadhe rudro dīptaṃ suniśitaṃ śaram

Then the gods, trembling, bowed to Shankara; and Rudra once more fitted his blazing, sharp arrow to the bow.

Verse 21 (13.265.21)

रुद्रस्य विक्रमं दृष्ट्वा भीता देवाः सहर्षिभिः । ततः प्रसादयामासुः शर्वं ते विबुधोत्तमाः ॥

rudrasya vikramaṃ dṛṣṭvā bhītā devāḥ saharṣibhiḥ | tataḥ prasādayāmāsuḥ śarvaṃ te vibudhottamāḥ

Seeing Rudra's might, the gods and the sages were terrified, and those best of the gods then sought to appease Sharva.

Verse 22 (13.265.22)

जेपुश्च शतरुद्रीयं देवाः कृत्वाञ्जलिं तदा । संस्तूयमानस्त्रिदशैः प्रससाद महेश्वरः ॥

jepuśca śatarudrīyaṃ devāḥ kṛtvāñjaliṃ tadā | saṃstūyamānastridaśaiḥ prasasāda maheśvaraḥ

The gods then joined their palms and recited the Shatarudriya; praised by the thirty gods, Maheshvara grew gracious.

Note on the text: Corrected जेषुश्च → जेपुश्च (misprint in Wikisource; 'jepuḥ', 'they muttered/recited', CE reads 'jepuś ca').

Verse 23 (13.265.23)

रुद्रस्य भागं यज्ञे च विशिष्टं ते त्वकल्पयन् । भयेन त्रिदशा राजञ्शरणं च प्रपेदिरे ॥

rudrasya bhāgaṃ yajñe ca viśiṣṭaṃ te tvakalpayan | bhayena tridaśā rājañśaraṇaṃ ca prapedire

They set apart for Rudra a special share in the sacrifice, and, afraid, O king, the gods took refuge in him.

Verse 24 (13.265.24)

तेन चैव हि तुष्टेन स यज्ञः सन्धितोऽभवत् । यद्यच्चापहृतं तत्र तत्तथैवान्वजीवयत् ॥

tena caiva hi tuṣṭena sa yajñaḥ sandhito'bhavat | yadyaccāpahṛtaṃ tatra tattathaivānvajīvayat

Pleased with this, he made that sacrifice whole again; and whatever had been carried off there, he restored to life just as it was.

Note on the text: Both lines differ from CE 13.145.23 ('tena caivātikopena sa yajñaḥ saṃdhito ’bhavat / yad yac cāpi hataṃ tatra tat tathaiva pradīyate'), a recension variant kept as printed. CE star passage 13,145.024*0673 (not in Wikisource) is not added.

Verse 25 (13.265.25)

असुराणां पुराण्यासंस्त्रीणि वीर्यवतां दिवि । आयसं राजतं चैव सौवर्णमपि चापरम् ॥

asurāṇāṃ purāṇyāsaṃstrīṇi vīryavatāṃ divi | āyasaṃ rājataṃ caiva sauvarṇamapi cāparam

In the sky stood three cities of the mighty asuras: one of iron, one of silver, and another of gold.

Verse 26 (13.265.26)

नाशकत्तानि मघवा भेत्तुं सर्वायुधैरपि । अथ सर्वेऽमरा रुद्रं जग्मुः शरणमर्दिताः ॥

nāśakattāni maghavā bhettuṃ sarvāyudhairapi | atha sarve'marā rudraṃ jagmuḥ śaraṇamarditāḥ

Maghavan could not break them even with all his weapons. Then all the immortals, sorely afflicted, went to Rudra for refuge.

Verse 27 (13.265.27)

तत ऊचुर्महात्मानो देवाः सर्वे समागताः । रुद्र रौद्रा भविष्यन्ति पशवः सर्वकर्मसु ॥

tata ūcurmahātmāno devāḥ sarve samāgatāḥ | rudra raudrā bhaviṣyanti paśavaḥ sarvakarmasu

Then all the great-souled gods, gathered together, said: "O Rudra, in all rites the animals will be yours.

Note on the text: Corresponds to CE 13.145.26a,c (first half). Wikisource ends the speech-opening here; the speech continues in the next verse.

Verse 28 (13.265.28)

जहि दैत्यान्सह पुरैर्लोकांस्त्रायस्व मानद । स तथोक्तस्तथेत्युक्त्वा कृत्वा विष्णुं शरोत्तमम् ॥

jahi daityānsaha purairlokāṃstrāyasva mānada | sa tathoktastathetyuktvā kṛtvā viṣṇuṃ śarottamam

Destroy the daityas together with their cities, and save the worlds, O giver of honour." Told so, he said "Be it so," and made Vishnu the best of arrows.

Note on the text: First line = CE 13.145.26e; second line = CE 13.145.27a. CE star line 13,145.026d*0674_01 (not in Wikisource) is not added.

Verse 29 (13.265.29)

शल्यमग्निं तथा कृत्वा पुङ्खं वैवस्वतं यमम् । ओङ्कारं च धनुः सर्वाञ्ज्यां च सावित्रिमुत्तमां ॥

śalyamagniṃ tathā kṛtvā puṅkhaṃ vaivasvataṃ yamam | oṅkāraṃ ca dhanuḥ sarvāñjyāṃ ca sāvitrimuttamāṃ

Making Agni the shaft and Yama Vaivasvata the feathering, with the syllable Om as the bow, and the supreme Savitri as the string,

Note on the text: First line = CE 13.145.27c; second line = the vulgate's counterpart of CE 13.145.27e ('vedān kṛtvā dhanuḥ sarvāñ jyāṃ ca sāvitrim uttamām'), where Wikisource reads 'ओङ्कारं च' for 'vedān kṛtvā'; kept as the vulgate reading.

Verse 30 (13.265.30)

ब्रह्माणं सारथिं कृत्वा विनियुज्य च सर्वशः । त्रिपर्वणा त्रिशल्येन तेन तानि बिभेद सः ॥

brahmāṇaṃ sārathiṃ kṛtvā viniyujya ca sarvaśaḥ | triparvaṇā triśalyena tena tāni bibheda saḥ

and making Brahma his charioteer and yoking all things to the chariot, he split those cities with the three-jointed, three-pointed arrow.

Note on the text: Corresponds to CE 13.145.28 ('devān rathavaraṃ kṛtvā …'); the first line is a recension variant, kept as printed.

Verse 31 (13.265.31)

शरेणादित्यवर्णेन कालाग्निसमतेजसा । तेऽसुराः सपुरास्तत्र दग्धा रुद्रेण भारत ॥

śareṇādityavarṇena kālāgnisamatejasā | te'surāḥ sapurāstatra dagdhā rudreṇa bhārata

By that arrow, bright as the sun and blazing like the fire at the end of time, those asuras with their cities were burned there by Rudra, O Bharata.

Verse 32 (13.265.32)

तं चैवाङ्कगतं दृष्ट्वा बालं पञ्चशिखं पुनः । उमा जिज्ञासमाना वै कोऽयमित्यब्रवीत्तदा ॥

taṃ caivāṅkagataṃ dṛṣṭvā bālaṃ pañcaśikhaṃ punaḥ | umā jijñāsamānā vai ko'yamityabravīttadā

Then Uma, seeing that five-crested boy seated in her lap, wished to know who he was and asked, "Who is this?"

Verse 33 (13.265.33)

असूयतश्च शक्रस्य वज्रेण प्रहरिष्यतः । सवज्रं स्तम्भयामास तं बाहुं परिघोपमम् ॥

asūyataśca śakrasya vajreṇa prahariṣyataḥ | savajraṃ stambhayāmāsa taṃ bāhuṃ parighopamam

As Shakra, full of resentment, was about to strike with his thunderbolt, he froze that arm, thick as an iron bar, together with the thunderbolt.

Note on the text: Corrected वज्रेणि → वज्रेण (misprint in Wikisource; instrumental, CE reads "vajreṇa").

Verse 34 (13.265.34)

न संयुयुधिरे चैव देवास्तं भुवनेश्वरम् । सप्रजापतयः सर्वे तस्मिन्मुमुहुरीश्वरे ॥

na saṃyuyudhire caiva devāstaṃ bhuvaneśvaram | saprajāpatayaḥ sarve tasminmumuhurīśvare

The gods did not contend with that lord of the world; all of them, with the Prajapatis, were bewildered about that Lord.

Note on the text: Wikisource reads 'न संयुयुधिरे' (did not fight); CE 13.145.32 reads 'na saṃbubudhire' (did not recognize). Both are valid Sanskrit, so the printed vulgate reading is kept and flagged.

Verse 35 (13.265.35)

ततो ध्यात्वा च भगवान्ब्रह्मा तममितौजसम् । अयं श्रेष्ठ इति ज्ञात्वा ववन्दे तमुमापतिम् ॥

tato dhyātvā ca bhagavānbrahmā tamamitaujasam | ayaṃ śreṣṭha iti jñātvā vavande tamumāpatim

Then Lord Brahma, reflecting, knew that being of boundless power and, understanding "This one is the greatest," bowed to that Lord of Uma.

Verse 36 (13.265.36)

ततः प्रसादयामासुरुमां रुद्रं च ते सुराः । बभूव स तदा बालः प्रययौ तु यथापुरम् ॥

tataḥ prasādayāmāsurumāṃ rudraṃ ca te surāḥ | babhūva sa tadā bālaḥ prayayau tu yathāpuram

Then the gods appeased Uma and Rudra; and he then became a boy, and went away as before.

Note on the text: Both lines are a recension variant of CE 13.145.34 ('babhūva sa tadā bāhur balahantur yathā purā'); kept as printed.

Verse 37 (13.265.37)

स चापि ब्राह्मणो भूत्वा दुर्वासा नाम वीर्यवान् । द्वारवत्यां मम गृहे चिरं कालमुपावसत् ॥

sa cāpi brāhmaṇo bhūtvā durvāsā nāma vīryavān | dvāravatyāṃ mama gṛhe ciraṃ kālamupāvasat

That same mighty one, becoming a brahmin named Durvasas, lived for a long time in my house at Dvaravati.

Note on the text: Corrected उपावसन् → उपावसत् (misprint in Wikisource; the subject is singular, CE reads 'upāvasat').

Verse 38 (13.265.38)

विप्रकारान्प्रयुङ्क्ते स्म सुबहून्मम वेश्मनि । तानुदारतया चाहं चक्षमे चातिदुःसहान् ॥

viprakārānprayuṅkte sma subahūnmama veśmani | tānudāratayā cāhaṃ cakṣame cātiduḥsahān

In my house he inflicted many kinds of injuries on me, and in my generosity I bore those very hard to bear.

Note on the text: Both lines are a recension variant of CE 13.145.36; kept as printed.

Verse 39 (13.265.39)

स वै रुद्रः स च शिवः सोग्निः सर्वः स सर्वजित् । स चैवेन्द्रश्च वायुश्च सोऽश्विनौ स च विद्युतः ॥

sa vai rudraḥ sa ca śivaḥ sogniḥ sarvaḥ sa sarvajit | sa caivendraśca vāyuśca so'śvinau sa ca vidyutaḥ

He is Rudra, he is Shiva, he is Agni, he is Sarva, the conqueror of all; he is Indra and Vayu, he is the two Ashvins, and he is the lightnings.

Note on the text: Corrected सोऽस्विनौ → सोऽश्विनौ (misprint in Wikisource; 'Ashvins', CE 'so ’śvinau'). First line = CE star line 13,145.036d*0676_01 ('sa vai rudraḥ sa ca śivaḥ so ’gniḥ śarvaḥ sa sarvajit'); second line = CE 13.145.37a (vulgate 'स चैवेन्द्रश्च' for CE 'sa devendraś ca').

Verse 40 (13.265.40)

स चन्द्रमाः स चेशानः स सूर्यो वरुणश्च सः । स कालः सोन्तको मृत्युः स यमो रात्र्यहानि च ॥

sa candramāḥ sa ceśānaḥ sa sūryo varuṇaśca saḥ | sa kālaḥ sontako mṛtyuḥ sa yamo rātryahāni ca

He is the moon, he is Ishana, he is the sun and Varuna; he is Time, the Ender, Death, Yama, and night and the days.

Note on the text: First line = CE 13.145.37c; second line = CE 13.145.38a.

Verse 41 (13.265.41)

मासार्धमासा ऋतवः सन्ध्ये संवत्सरश्च सः । स धाता स विधाता च विश्वकर्मा स सर्ववित् ॥

māsārdhamāsā ṛtavaḥ sandhye saṃvatsaraśca saḥ | sa dhātā sa vidhātā ca viśvakarmā sa sarvavit

He is the months and half-months, the seasons, the two twilights and the year; he is Dhatri and Vidhatri, Vishvakarman, the all-knowing.

Note on the text: Corrected सधाता → स धाता (misprint in Wikisource; two words, 'he is Dhātṛ', CE 'sa dhātā'). First line = CE 13.145.38c; second line = CE 13.145.39a.

Verse 42 (13.265.42)

नक्षत्राणि ग्रहाश्चैव दिशोऽथ प्रदिशस्तथा । विश्वमूर्तिरमेयात्मा भगवान्परमद्युतिः ॥

nakṣatrāṇi grahāścaiva diśo'tha pradiśastathā | viśvamūrtirameyātmā bhagavānparamadyutiḥ

He is the constellations and the planets, the directions and the intermediate directions; of universal form, of immeasurable self, the Lord of supreme radiance.

Note on the text: First line = CE 13.145.39c; second line = CE 13.145.39e (Wikisource reads 'परमद्युतिः' for CE 'amitadyutiḥ', a recension variant).

Verse 43 (13.265.43)

एकधा च द्विधा चैव बहुधा च स एव हि । शतधा सहस्रधा चैव तथा शतसहस्रधा ॥

ekadhā ca dvidhā caiva bahudhā ca sa eva hi | śatadhā sahasradhā caiva tathā śatasahasradhā

He alone is one-fold, two-fold and many-fold, a hundredfold, a thousandfold, and a hundred-thousandfold.

Verse 44 (13.265.44)

ईदृशः स महादेवो भूयश्च भगवानतः । न हि शक्या गुणा वक्तुमपि वर्षशतैरपि ॥

īdṛśaḥ sa mahādevo bhūyaśca bhagavānataḥ | na hi śakyā guṇā vaktumapi varṣaśatairapi

Such is Mahadeva, and the Lord is even more than this; his qualities could not be told even in hundreds of years.
