Seeing the horse, O king, the sons of Sagara bristled with joy. Driven by fate, they paid no heed to the great-souled Kapila,

Note on the text: Corrected तेतं → ते तं and अनादृत् → अनादृत्य (misprints in Wikisource; the critical edition reads te taṃ … anādṛtya, as does the alternative version printed later on the same Wikisource page); removed a stray asterisk before the first word. This verse is CE 3.106.1ab–cd (Wikisource divides the lines differently).

Verse 2 (3.107.2)

संक्रुद्धाः संप्रधावन्त वाजिग्रहणकाङ्क्षिणः । ततः क्रुद्धो महाराज कपिलो मुनिसत्तमः ॥

and in their fury they rushed forward, eager to seize the horse. Then, great king, Kapila, best of sages, grew angry,

Note on the text: Corrected संफुद्धाः → संक्रुद्धाः (misprint in Wikisource; the critical edition reads saṃkruddhāḥ). This verse is CE 3.106.1ef + 3.106.2ab (Wikisource divides the lines differently).

vāsudeveti yaṃ prāhuḥ kapilaṃ munipuṅgavam | sa cakṣurvivṛtaṃ kṛtvā tejasteṣu samutsṛjan

that bull among sages, Kapila, whom they call Vasudeva. Opening his eyes wide, he released his fiery energy upon them,

Note on the text: Corrected विकतं → विवृतं (misprint in Wikisource; "opened wide", critical edition vivṛtaṃ). This verse is CE 3.106.2cd + 3.106.3ab (Wikisource divides the lines differently).

and that best of sages, great in splendour, burned up the foolish sons of Sagara, all sixty thousand of them at once.

Note on the text: Corrected षष्टिं रतानि → षष्टिं तानि (misprint in Wikisource; a stray र, cf. ṣaṣṭis tāni sahasrāṇi at CE 3.106.7). The first line is CE 3.106.3cd; the second is not in the critical edition's text (its apparatus has it as 3.106.3d*0524).

sa tacchrutvā vaco ghoraṃ rājā munimukhodgatam | muhūrtaṃ vimanā bhūtvā sthāṇorvākyamacintayat

When the king heard those terrible words from the sage's mouth, he was downcast for a moment, and then he called to mind the words of Sthanu (Shiva).

Overwhelmed by the grief that arose from his sons' death, he steadied himself by his own strength and turned his thoughts to the horse alone.

Note on the text: Corrected मत्कृतेनिधनं → मत्कृते निधनं (missing word space in Wikisource).

Verse 10 (3.107.10)

तव चापि पिता तात परित्यक्तो मयाऽनघ । धर्मं संरक्षमाणेन पौराणां हितमिच्छता ॥

kimarthaṃ rājaśārdūlaḥ sagaraḥ putramātmajam | tyaktavāndustyajaṃ vīraṃ tanme brūhi tapodhana

Why did Sagara, tiger among kings, abandon his own son, a hero so hard to give up? Tell me that, O sage rich in austerity.

Sagara had a son known as Asamanja, whom Shaibya bore. He would take hold of the citizens' children,

Note on the text: This verse is CE 3.106.10ab–cd; the critical edition gives the name as asamañjā, a variant form.

Verse 13 (3.107.13)

क्रीडतः सहसाऽऽसाद्य तत्रतत्र महीपते । चूडासु क्रोशतो गृह्य नद्यां चिक्षेप दुर्बलान् ॥

krīḍataḥ sahasā''sādya tatratatra mahīpate | cūḍāsu krośato gṛhya nadyāṃ cikṣepa durbalān

falling on them suddenly as they played here and there, O lord of the earth; seizing the weak little ones by their hair-tufts as they screamed, he would throw them into the river.

Note on the text: Removed stray wiki marks (` and ') around the first line, and corrected गृह्यनद्यां → गृह्य नद्यां (missing word space in Wikisource). The first line is not in the critical edition's text (its apparatus has it as 3.106.10d*0526); the second is CE 3.106.10ef, where the critical edition reads khureṣu "by the feet" for चूडासु "by the hair-tufts", a recension variant kept here.

ततः पौराः समाजग्मुर्भयशोकपरिप्लुताः । सगरं चाभ्यभाषन्त सर्वे प्राञ्जलयः स्थिताः ॥

tataḥ paurāḥ samājagmurbhayaśokapariplutāḥ | sagaraṃ cābhyabhāṣanta sarve prāñjalayaḥ sthitāḥ

Then the citizens, overcome with fear and grief, came together, and standing with joined palms they all said to Sagara:

Verse 15 (3.107.15)

त्वं नस्त्राता महाराज परचक्रादिभिर्भयात् । असमञ्जभयाद्धोरात्ततो नस्त्रातुमर्हसि ॥

tvaṃ nastrātā mahārāja paracakrādibhirbhayāt | asamañjabhayāddhorāttato nastrātumarhasi

Great king, you are our protector against the fear of enemy armies and other dangers. So protect us now from the terrible fear of Asamanja.

Note on the text: Corrected नस्त्रातुनर्हसि → नस्त्रातुमर्हसि (misprint in Wikisource; त्रातुम् अर्हसि, critical edition trātum arhasi).

Verse 16 (3.107.16)

पौराणां वचनं श्रुत्वा घोरं नृपतिसत्तमः । मुहूर्तं विमना भूत्वा सचिवानिदमब्रवीत् ॥

paurāṇāṃ vacanaṃ śrutvā ghoraṃ nṛpatisattamaḥ | muhūrtaṃ vimanā bhūtvā sacivānidamabravīt

Thus addressed by the lord of men, O king, the ministers quickly did just as the king had commanded.

Verse 19 (3.107.19)

एतत्ते सर्वमाख्यातं यथा पुत्रो महात्मना । पौराणां हितकामेन सगरेण विवासितः ॥

sa tu tenaiva mārgeṇa samudraṃ praviveśa ha | apaśyacca mahātmānaṃ kapilaṃ turagaṃ ca tam

By that same path he entered the ocean, and there he saw the great-souled Kapila and that horse.

स दृष्ट्वा तेजसो राशिं पुराणमृषिसत्तमम् । प्रणम्य शिरसा भूमौ कार्यमस्मै न्यवेदयत् ॥

sa dṛṣṭvā tejaso rāśiṃ purāṇamṛṣisattamam | praṇamya śirasā bhūmau kāryamasmai nyavedayat

Seeing that ancient best of seers, a mass of radiance, he bowed his head to the ground and told him why he had come.

Verse 26 (3.107.26)

ततः प्रीतो महाराज कपिलोंऽशुमतोऽभवत् । उवाच चैनं धर्मात्मा वरदोस्मीति भारत ॥

tataḥ prīto mahārāja kapiloṃ'śumato'bhavat | uvāca cainaṃ dharmātmā varadosmīti bhārata

Then, great king, Kapila was pleased with Amshuman, and the righteous sage said to him, "I grant you a boon," O Bharata.

Through the perfection gained by austerity, O bull of the Bharatas, that king went from the forest to heaven when his time came, O Bharata.

Note on the text: This verse is CE 3.106.40cd–ef (Wikisource divides the lines differently). After it the Wikisource page prints, in a separate table with rows numbered 3-107a-1 to 3-107a-25, an alternative shorter version of the same story (the sons of Sagara burned by Kapila, Bhagiratha's penance to Shiva, the descent of the Ganga), which is not part of the base text and is not in the critical edition. The extraction had kept only that block's last row, closing "thus the ocean was filled", as a verse numbered 23 with a stray copy of verse 23's second line attached; it has been dropped here.
