क्रियतामुपहारोऽद्य त्र्यम्बकस्य महात्मनः । दत्त्वोपहारं नृपते ततः स्वार्थं यतामहे ॥

kriyatāmupahāro'dya tryambakasya mahātmanaḥ | dattvopahāraṃ nṛpate tataḥ svārthaṃ yatāmahe

"Let the offering be made today to great-souled Tryambaka. Having made the offering, O king, we shall then strive for our own purpose."

Note on the text: The page prints the heading ब्राह्मणा ऊचुः; given as speaker_line. Wikisource reads दत्त्वोपहारं (CE: kṛtvopahāraṃ); recension variant, kept.

Verse 2 (14.65.2)

श्रुत्वा तु वचनं तेषां ब्राह्मणानां युधिष्ठिरः । गिरीशस्य यथान्यायमुपहारमुपाहरत् ॥

śrutvā tu vacanaṃ teṣāṃ brāhmaṇānāṃ yudhiṣṭhiraḥ | girīśasya yathānyāyamupahāramupāharat

Hearing the words of the brahmins, Yudhishthira duly made the offering to Girisha.

Verse 3 (14.65.3)

आज्येन तर्पयित्वाऽग्निं विधिवत्संस्कृतेन च । मन्त्रसिद्धं चरुं कृत्वा पुरोधाः स ययौ तदा ॥

ājyena tarpayitvā'gniṃ vidhivatsaṃskṛtena ca | mantrasiddhaṃ caruṃ kṛtvā purodhāḥ sa yayau tadā

Having satisfied the fire with duly purified ghee and prepared an oblation of grain consecrated with mantras, the chaplain then went forth.

Note on the text: Corrected ययै → ययौ (misprint in Wikisource; the critical edition has prayayau; the sense is 'he went forth'). Wikisource reads स ययौ तदा for CE purodhāḥ prayayau tadā; variant kept.

Verse 4 (14.65.4)

स गृहीत्वा सुमनसो मन्त्रपूता जनाधिप । मोदकैः पायसेनाथ मांसैश्चोपाहरद्बलिम् ॥

sa gṛhītvā sumanaso mantrapūtā janādhipa | modakaiḥ pāyasenātha māṃsaiścopāharadbalim

Taking flowers hallowed with mantras, O lord of men, he offered the bali with modakas, rice-milk and meat.

Note on the text: Corrected बलिंम् → बलिम् (misprint in Wikisource; stray anusvara; the critical edition has balim).

Verse 5 (14.65.5)

सुमनोभिश्च चित्राभिर्लाजैरुच्चावचैरपि । सर्वं स्विष्टकृतं हुत्वा विधिवद्वेदपारगः । किंकराणां ततः पश्चाच्चकार बलिमुत्तमम् ॥

With bright flowers and parched grain of various kinds, that master of the Vedas, having duly offered the whole of the sviṣṭakṛt oblation, then made a supreme bali to the attendants.

यक्षेन्द्राय कुबेराय माणिभद्राय चैव ह । तथाऽन्येषां च यक्षाणां भूतानां पतयश्च ये ॥

yakṣendrāya kuberāya māṇibhadrāya caiva ha | tathā'nyeṣāṃ ca yakṣāṇāṃ bhūtānāṃ patayaśca ye

To Kubera, lord of the Yakshas, and to Manibhadra, and to the other Yakshas, and to those who are lords of spirits,

Note on the text: Wikisource reads माणिभद्राय (CE: maṇibhadrāya), a spelling variant of the name; kept.

Verse 7 (14.65.7)

कृसरेण च मांसेन निवापैस्तिलसंयुतैः । ओदनं कुम्भशः कृत्वा पुरोधाः समुपाहरत् ॥

kṛsareṇa ca māṃsena nivāpaistilasaṃyutaiḥ | odanaṃ kumbhaśaḥ kṛtvā purodhāḥ samupāharat

Verse 8 (14.65.8)

ब्राह्मणेभ्यः सहस्राणि गवां दत्त्वा तु भूमिपः । नक्तंचराणां भूतानां व्यादिदेश बलिं तदा ॥

brāhmaṇebhyaḥ sahasrāṇi gavāṃ dattvā tu bhūmipaḥ | naktaṃcarāṇāṃ bhūtānāṃ vyādideśa baliṃ tadā

And the king gave thousands of cows to the brahmins, and then ordered a bali for the spirits that roam by night.

Note on the text: Corrected दत्वा → दत्त्वा (broken conjunct) and बलि → बलिं (dropped anusvara) (misprints in Wikisource; the critical edition has dattvā and baliṃ). Matched by hand: star passage 14,064.007b*0135_02-03 (printed with CE 14.64.7).

Verse 9 (14.65.9)

धूपगन्धनिरुद्धं तत्सुमनोभिश्च संवृतम् । शुशुभे स्थानमत्यर्थं देवदेवस्य पार्थिव ॥

dhūpagandhaniruddhaṃ tatsumanobhiśca saṃvṛtam | śuśubhe sthānamatyarthaṃ devadevasya pārthiva

Thick with the fragrance of incense and covered with flowers, that place of the God of gods shone exceedingly, O king.

Note on the text: Corrected पार्थिवः → पार्थिव (misprint in Wikisource; stray visarga, since the word is a vocative addressed to Janamejaya and शुशुभे already has स्थानम् as its subject; the critical edition has pārthiva). Matched by hand: line 1 = star passage 14,064.007b*0135_04; line 2 = CE 14,064.007c.

Verse 10 (14.65.10)

कृत्वा पूजां तु रुद्रस्य गणानां चैव सर्वशः । ययौ व्यासं पुरस्कृत्य नृपो रत्ननिधिं प्रति ॥

Having worshipped the lord of wealth, bowing to him and saluting him, with bright flowers, cakes and rice-porridge,

Note on the text: Corrected धनाध्वक्षं → धनाध्यक्षं (misprint in Wikisource; ध्व for ध्य; the critical edition has dhanādhyakṣam).

Verse 12 (14.65.12)

शङ्खादींश्च निधीन्सर्वान्निधिपालांश्च सर्वशः । अर्चयित्वा द्विजाग्र्यान्स्वस्ति वाच्य च वीर्यवान् ॥

śaṅkhādīṃśca nidhīnsarvānnidhipālāṃśca sarvaśaḥ | arcayitvā dvijāgryānsvasti vācya ca vīryavān

after he had honoured all the treasures beginning with the Shankha, and all the guardians of the treasures, and had honoured the foremost of the twice-born and had them pronounce blessings, that valiant king

Note on the text: Corrected द्विजाग्र्या स्वस्ति → द्विजाग्र्यान्स्वस्ति (misprint in Wikisource; dropped न्, since the foremost brahmins are the object of अर्चयित्वा; the critical edition has dvijāgryān).

Verse 13 (14.65.13)

तेषां पुण्याहघोषेण तेजसा समवस्थितः । प्रीतिमान्स कुरुश्रेष्ठः खानयामास तं निधिम् ॥

teṣāṃ puṇyāhaghoṣeṇa tejasā samavasthitaḥ | prītimānsa kuruśreṣṭhaḥ khānayāmāsa taṃ nidhim

stood firm in the sound of their "auspicious day" blessing and in their radiance; and, glad of heart, that best of the Kurus had the treasure dug up.

Note on the text: Corrected खानयामासं → खानयामास (misprint in Wikisource; stray anusvara; the critical edition has khānayām āsa).

Verse 14 (14.65.14)

ततः पात्रीः सकरका बहुरूपा मनोरमाः । भृङ्गाराणि कटाहानि कलशान्वर्धमानकान् ॥

tataḥ pātrīḥ sakarakā bahurūpā manoramāḥ | bhṛṅgārāṇi kaṭāhāni kalaśānvardhamānakān

Then there were large vessels with small pots, of many shapes and charming to see, and ewers, cauldrons, pitchers and saucers,

Note on the text: Corrected पात्री → पात्रीः (misprint in Wikisource; lost visarga, since it is accusative plural governed by उद्धारयामास with the plural सकरकाः and the rest, as the page's own gloss पात्रीः महान्ति … confirms; the critical edition has pātryaḥ). The rest of the line differs from the critical edition (sāśmantakamanoramāḥ); Wikisource reading kept.

Verse 15 (14.65.15)

बहूनि च विचित्राणि भाजनानि सहस्रशः । उद्धारयामास तदा धर्मराजो युधिष्ठिरः ॥

bahūni ca vicitrāṇi bhājanāni sahasraśaḥ | uddhārayāmāsa tadā dharmarājo yudhiṣṭhiraḥ

तेषां रक्षणमप्यासीन्महान्करपुटस्तथा । नद्धं च भाजनं राजंस्तुलार्धमभवन्नृप ॥

teṣāṃ rakṣaṇamapyāsīnmahānkarapuṭastathā | naddhaṃ ca bhājanaṃ rājaṃstulārdhamabhavannṛpa

For them there was also a protective container, a great casket, and a strapped vessel, O king, that weighed half a tula.

Note on the text: Wikisource reads तेषां रक्षणमप्यासीन् … नद्धं च भाजनम् (CE: teṣāṃ lakṣaṇam apy āsīn … trilakṣaṃ bhājanam); recension variant, kept.

Verse 17 (14.65.17)

वाहनं पाण्डुपुत्रस्य तत्रासीत्तु विशांपते । षष्टिरुष्ट्रसहस्राणि शतानि द्विगुणा हयाः ॥

vāhanaṃ pāṇḍuputrasya tatrāsīttu viśāṃpate | ṣaṣṭiruṣṭrasahasrāṇi śatāni dviguṇā hayāḥ

The Pandava's transport there, O lord of the people, comprised sixty thousand camels, and horses twice as many.

Verse 18 (14.65.18)

वारणाश्च महाराज सहस्रशतसंमिताः । शकटानि रथाश्चैव तावदेव करेणवः । खराणां पुरुषाणां च परिसङ्ख्या न विद्यते ॥

vāraṇāśca mahārāja sahasraśatasaṃmitāḥ | śakaṭāni rathāścaiva tāvadeva kareṇavaḥ | kharāṇāṃ puruṣāṇāṃ ca parisaṅkhyā na vidyate

There were elephants too, O great king, to the number of a hundred thousand; carts and chariots, and she-elephants, in as many; and the number of donkeys and men could not be counted.

Note on the text: Corrected स्वराणां → खराणां (misprint in Wikisource; स्व for ख; the critical edition has kharāṇām). Three-line verse; CE lines 14,064.016a, 016c, 016e.

etadvittaṃ tadabhavadyaduddadhre yudhiṣṭhiraḥ | ṣoḍaśāṣṭau caturviṃśatsahasraṃ bhāralakṣaṇam

That was the wealth that Yudhishthira brought up, reckoned in loads at sixteen, eight and twenty-four thousand.

Verse 20 (14.65.20)

एतेष्वादाय तद्द्रव्यं पुनरभ्यर्च्य पाण्डवः । महादेवं प्रति ययौ पुरं नागाह्वयं प्रति ॥

eteṣvādāya taddravyaṃ punarabhyarcya pāṇḍavaḥ | mahādevaṃ prati yayau puraṃ nāgāhvayaṃ prati

Loading that wealth on these, and worshipping again, the Pandava set out, turning toward Mahadeva, for the city called Nagahvaya.

Note on the text: Corrected नागाहयं → नागाह्वयं (misprint in Wikisource; dropped व; the critical edition has nāgāhvayam). Wikisource reads एतेष्वादाय (CE: eteṣv ādhāya); variant kept.

Verse 21 (14.65.21)

द्वैपायनाभ्यनुज्ञातः पुरस्कृत्य पुरोहितम् । गोरुते गोरुते चैव न्यवसत्पुरुषर्षभः ॥

dvaipāyanābhyanujñātaḥ puraskṛtya purohitam | gorute gorute caiva nyavasatpuruṣarṣabhaḥ

With Dvaipayana's leave, putting the chaplain in front, that bull among men halted at every gorūta, the distance a cow's lowing carries.

Note on the text: Wikisource reads गोरुते गोरुते (CE: goyute goyute); recension variant, kept (गोरुत: the distance a cow's lowing carries).

Verse 22 (14.65.22)

सा पुराऽभिमुखा राजन्नुवाह महती चमूः । कृच्छ्राद्द्रविणभारार्ता हर्षयन्ती कुरूद्वहान् ॥

Note on the text: Wikisource reads उवाह (CE: jagāma); recension variant, kept.
