etacchrutvā gurorvākyaṃ vyāsaśiṣyā mahaujasaḥ | anyonyaṃ hṛṣṭamanasaḥ pariṣasvajire tadā

Hearing this word of their teacher, Vyasa's mighty disciples joyfully embraced one another.

Verse 2 (12.336.2)

उक्ताः स्मो यद्भगवता तदात्वायतिसंहितम् । तन्नो मनसि संरूढं करिष्यामस्तथा च तत् ॥

uktāḥ smo yadbhagavatā tadātvāyatisaṃhitam | tanno manasi saṃrūḍhaṃ kariṣyāmastathā ca tat

"What the Blessed One has told us, suited to the present and to the time to come, has taken root in our minds, and we shall act upon it just so."

Verse 3 (12.336.3)

अन्योन्यं संविभाष्यैवं सुप्रीतमनसः पुनः । विज्ञापयन्ति स्म गुरुं पुनर्वाक्यविशारदाः ॥

anyonyaṃ saṃvibhāṣyaivaṃ suprītamanasaḥ punaḥ | vijñāpayanti sma guruṃ punarvākyaviśāradāḥ

Having talked this over among themselves, their minds full of delight, those skilled in speech addressed their teacher once more.

Verse 4 (12.336.4)

शैलादस्मान्महीं गन्तुं काङ्क्षितं नो महामुने । वेदाननेकधा कर्तुं यदि ते रुचितं प्रभो ॥

śailādasmānmahīṃ gantuṃ kāṅkṣitaṃ no mahāmune | vedānanekadhā kartuṃ yadi te rucitaṃ prabho

"Great sage, we wish to go down from this mountain to the earth, if it pleases you, lord, that we should divide the Vedas in many ways."

Verse 5 (12.336.5)

शिष्याणां वचनं श्रुत्वा पराशरसुतः प्रभुः । प्रत्युवाच ततो वाक्यं धर्मार्थसहितं हितम् ॥

śiṣyāṇāṃ vacanaṃ śrutvā parāśarasutaḥ prabhuḥ | pratyuvāca tato vākyaṃ dharmārthasahitaṃ hitam

Hearing the disciples' words, the lord, the son of Parashara, answered them with words that were beneficial and full of dharma and purpose.

Verse 6 (12.336.6)

क्षितिं वा देवलोकं वा गम्यतां यदि रोचते । अप्रमादश्च वः कार्यो ब्रह्म हि प्रचुरच्छलम् ॥

kṣitiṃ vā devalokaṃ vā gamyatāṃ yadi rocate | apramādaśca vaḥ kāryo brahma hi pracuracchalam

"Go to the earth or to the world of the gods, as you please. But you must never be careless, for the Veda is full of pitfalls."

Verse 7 (12.336.7)

तेऽनुज्ञातास्ततः सर्वे गुरुणा सत्यवादिना । जग्मुः प्रदक्षिणं कृत्वा व्यासं मूर्ध्नाऽभिवाद्य च ॥

te'nujñātāstataḥ sarve guruṇā satyavādinā | jagmuḥ pradakṣiṇaṃ kṛtvā vyāsaṃ mūrdhnā'bhivādya ca

Permitted then by their truthful teacher, they all walked around Vyasa keeping him on their right, bowed to him with their heads, and departed.

Verse 8 (12.336.8)

अवतीर्य महीं तेऽथ चातुर्होत्रमकल्पयन् । संयाजयन्तो विप्रांश्च राजन्यांश्च विशस्तथा ॥

avatīrya mahīṃ te'tha cāturhotramakalpayan | saṃyājayanto viprāṃśca rājanyāṃśca viśastathā

Descending to the earth, they established the fourfold priestly rite, performing sacrifices for brahmins, kshatriyas and vaishyas alike.

Verse 9 (12.336.9)

पूज्यमाना द्विजैर्नित्यं मोदमाना गृहे रताः । याजनाध्यापनरताः श्रीमन्तो लोकविश्रुताः ॥

pūjyamānā dvijairnityaṃ modamānā gṛhe ratāḥ | yājanādhyāpanaratāḥ śrīmanto lokaviśrutāḥ

Ever honoured by the twice-born, glad at heart and devoted to their households, they gave themselves to officiating at sacrifices and to teaching, prosperous and famed throughout the world.

Verse 10 (12.336.10)

अवतीर्णेषु शिष्येषु व्यासः पुत्रसहायवान् । तूष्णीं ध्यानपरो धीमानेकान्ते समुपाविशत् ॥

avatīrṇeṣu śiṣyeṣu vyāsaḥ putrasahāyavān | tūṣṇīṃ dhyānaparo dhīmānekānte samupāviśat

When the disciples had gone down to the earth, the wise Vyasa, with only his son beside him, sat down in a secluded spot, silent and absorbed in meditation.

Verse 11 (12.336.11)

एतस्मिन्नेव काले तु देवर्षिर्नारदस्तथा । हिमवन्तमगं द्रष्टुं सिद्धचारणसेवितम् ॥

etasminneva kāle tu devarṣirnāradastathā | himavantamagaṃ draṣṭuṃ siddhacāraṇasevitam

At that very time the divine sage Narada came to see the mountain Himavat, the haunt of Siddhas and Charanas.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition (found in the vulgate recension). Removed the stray backtick, quote mark and doubled danda that Wikisource prints around this interpolated couplet.

Verse 12 (12.336.12)

तं ददर्शाश्रमपदे नारदः सुमहातपाः । अथैनमब्रवीत्काले मधुराक्षरया गिरा ॥

taṃ dadarśāśramapade nāradaḥ sumahātapāḥ | athainamabravītkāle madhurākṣarayā girā

The greatly ascetic Narada saw Vyasa in his hermitage and then, at the fitting moment, spoke to him in sweet words.

Verse 13 (12.336.13)

भोभो महर्षे वासिष्ठ ब्रह्मघोषो न वर्तते । एको ध्यानपरस्तूष्णीं किमास्से चिन्तयन्निव ॥

bhobho maharṣe vāsiṣṭha brahmaghoṣo na vartate | eko dhyānaparastūṣṇīṃ kimāsse cintayanniva

"Ho, great sage, descendant of Vasishtha! The sound of Vedic recitation is not heard. Why do you sit here alone and silent, absorbed in meditation, as though brooding?"

Verse 14 (12.336.14)

ब्रह्मघोषैर्विरहितः पर्वतोऽयं न शोभते । रजसा तमसा चैव सोमः सोपप्लवो यथा ॥

brahmaghoṣairvirahitaḥ parvato'yaṃ na śobhate | rajasā tamasā caiva somaḥ sopaplavo yathā

"Without the sound of Vedic chanting this mountain does not shine, like the moon dimmed by dust and darkness and seized by Rahu."

Verse 15 (12.336.15)

न भ्राजते यथापूर्वं निषादानामिवालयः । देवर्षिगणजुष्टोऽपि वेदध्वनिविनाकृतः ॥

na bhrājate yathāpūrvaṃ niṣādānāmivālayaḥ | devarṣigaṇajuṣṭo'pi vedadhvanivinākṛtaḥ

"Though frequented by hosts of divine sages, it has lost the sound of the Veda and does not shine as before; it is like a dwelling of the Nishadas."

Verse 16 (12.336.16)

ऋषयश्च हि देवाश्च गन्धर्वाश्च महौजसः । वियुक्ता ब्रह्मघोषेण न भ्राजन्ते यथा पुरा ॥

ṛṣayaśca hi devāśca gandharvāśca mahaujasaḥ | viyuktā brahmaghoṣeṇa na bhrājante yathā purā

"The sages, the gods and the mighty Gandharvas, bereft of the sound of the Veda, no longer shine as they did before."

Verse 17 (12.336.17)

नारदस्य वचः श्रुत्वा कृष्णद्वैपायनोऽब्रवीत् । महर्षे यत्त्वया प्रोक्तं वेदवादविचक्षण ॥

nāradasya vacaḥ śrutvā kṛṣṇadvaipāyano'bravīt | maharṣe yattvayā proktaṃ vedavādavicakṣaṇa

Hearing Narada's words, Krishna Dvaipayana replied: "Great sage, you who are skilled in speaking of the Veda, what you have said

Verse 18 (12.336.18)

एतन्मनोऽनुकूलं मे भवानर्हसि भाषितुम् । सर्वज्ञः सर्वदर्शी च सर्वत्र च कुतूहली ॥

etanmano'nukūlaṃ me bhavānarhasi bhāṣitum | sarvajñaḥ sarvadarśī ca sarvatra ca kutūhalī

"is in accord with my own mind, and you are the one fit to speak of it. You know all, you see all, and you are curious about everything."

Verse 19 (12.336.19)

त्रिषु लोकेषु यद्वृत्तं सर्वं तव मते स्थितम् । तदाज्ञापय विप्रर्षे ब्रूहि किं करवाणि ते ॥

triṣu lokeṣu yadvṛttaṃ sarvaṃ tava mate sthitam | tadājñāpaya viprarṣe brūhi kiṃ karavāṇi te

"Whatever happens in the three worlds is present to your mind. Command me, brahmin sage; tell me what I am to do for you."

Verse 20 (12.336.20)

यन्मया समनुष्ठेयं ब्रह्मर्षे तदुदाहर । वियुक्तस्येह शिष्यैर्मे नातिहृष्टमिदं मनः ॥

yanmayā samanuṣṭheyaṃ brahmarṣe tadudāhara | viyuktasyeha śiṣyairme nātihṛṣṭamidaṃ manaḥ

"Tell me, brahmin sage, what I ought to do. Parted from my disciples, I find my mind not very happy here."

Verse 21 (12.336.21)

अनाम्नायमला वेदा ब्राह्मणस्याव्रतं मलम् । मलं पृथिव्या बाह्लीकाः स्त्रीणां कौतूहलं मलम् ॥

anāmnāyamalā vedā brāhmaṇasyāvrataṃ malam | malaṃ pṛthivyā bāhlīkāḥ strīṇāṃ kautūhalaṃ malam

"The Vedas are stained by neglect of recitation; a brahmin is stained by lack of vows; the earth is stained by the Bahlikas; and women are stained by idle curiosity."

Note on the text: Corrected बाह्वीकाः → बाह्लीकाः (misprint in Wikisource; बाह्वीक is not a word; the same people are spelled बाह्लीक in verses 25-30; the CE has the variant spelling वाहीकाः).

Verse 22 (12.336.22)

अधीयतां भवान्वेदान्सार्धं पुत्रेण धीमता । विधुन्वन्ब्रह्मघोषेण रक्षोभयकृतं तमः ॥

adhīyatāṃ bhavānvedānsārdhaṃ putreṇa dhīmatā | vidhunvanbrahmaghoṣeṇa rakṣobhayakṛtaṃ tamaḥ

nāradasya vacaḥ śrutvā vyāsaḥ paramadharmavit | tathetyuktvā'tha saṃhṛṣṭo vedābhyāse dṛḍhavrataḥ

Hearing Narada's words, Vyasa, who knew the highest dharma, said "So be it," and, delighted and firm in his vow, turned to the study of the Veda.

Note on the text: Variant of CE 12.315.22 (line 1 as the CE; line 2 reads तथेत्युक्त्वाऽथ for the CE's तथेत्युवाच). The CE then continues with the Appendix I passage that Wikisource has as verses 24-46.

Verse 24 (12.336.24)

उवाच च महाप्राज्ञं नारदं पुनरेव हि ॥

uvāca ca mahāprājñaṃ nāradaṃ punareva hi

And he spoke once more to the greatly wise Narada.
