diśo bhujā raviścakṣurvīrye śukraḥ pratiṣṭhitaḥ | saptamārgā niruddhāste vāyoramitatejasaḥ

The quarters are your arms and the sun is your eye; Shukra is established in your vigour. The seven paths of the Wind of boundless energy are held in check by you.

Note on the text: Removed the opening square bracket and the closing bracket with its stray doubled daṇḍa (the page marks this couplet as an interpolation). Not in the critical edition's constituted text (found in the vulgate recension): the CE star passage 12.47.59d*0090_01-02 (diśo bhujā raviś cakṣur vīryaṃ śukraprajāpatī / sapta mārgā niruddhās te vāyor amitatejasaḥ); line 1 is a recension variant (Wikisource वीर्ये शुक्रः प्रतिष्ठितः), line 2 is identical..

vyaktāvyaktasvarūpeṇa vyāptaṃ sarvaṃ tvayā vibho | avyaktaṃ brāhmaṇaṃ rūpaṃ vyaktametaccarācaram

O Lord, the whole is pervaded by you in your manifest and unmanifest nature: the unmanifest is the form of Brahman, and this world of the moving and the unmoving is the manifest.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition's constituted text (found in the vulgate recension): the CE star passage 12.47.59d*0091_02-03 (vyaktāvyaktasvarūpeṇa vyāptaṃ sarvaṃ tvayā vibho / avyaktaṃ brahmaṇo rūpaṃ vyaktam etac carācaram); Wikisource अव्यक्तं ब्राह्मणं रूपम् is a recension variant, kept..

अतसीपुष्पसंकाशं पीतवाससमच्युतम् । ये नमस्यन्ति गोविन्दं न तेषां विद्यते भयम् ॥

atasīpuṣpasaṃkāśaṃ pītavāsasamacyutam | ye namasyanti govindaṃ na teṣāṃ vidyate bhayam

Those who bow to Govinda, Achyuta, clad in yellow and shining like the flax flower, have nothing to fear.

Verse 124 (12.46.124)

एकोऽपि कृष्णस्य कृतः प्रणामो । दशाश्वमेधावभृथेन तुल्यः । दशाश्वमेधी पुनरेति जन्म । कृष्णप्रणामी न पुनर्भवाय ॥

eko'pi kṛṣṇasya kṛtaḥ praṇāmo | daśāśvamedhāvabhṛthena tulyaḥ | daśāśvamedhī punareti janma | kṛṣṇapraṇāmī na punarbhavāya

A single bow made to Krishna is equal to the closing bath of ten horse sacrifices. One who has performed ten horse sacrifices is born again; one who has bowed to Krishna is not born again.

Note on the text: Removed the opening square bracket Wikisource prints (it opens the bracketed passage of verses 123-127, which the page marks as an interpolation). Not in the critical edition's constituted text (found in the vulgate recension): the CE star passage 12.47.60b*0094_01-04 (eko 'pi kṛṣṇasya kṛtaḥ praṇāmo …), identical..

kṛṣṇavratāḥ kṛṣṇamanusmaranto | rātrau ca kṛṣṇaṃ punarutthitā ye | te kṛṣṇadehāḥ praviśanti kṛṣṇa | mājyaṃ yathā mantrahutaṃ hutāśe

Those who keep their vows to Krishna, remembering Krishna and rising again in the night remembering Krishna, have bodies that are Krishna and enter Krishna, as clarified butter offered with mantras enters the fire.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition's constituted text (found in the vulgate recension): the CE star passage 12.47.60b*0094_05-08 (kṛṣṇavratāḥ kṛṣṇam anusmaranto …), identical (the final म् of कृष्णम् is carried to the start of the last line as the page prints it)..

namo narakasaṃtrāsarakṣāmaṇḍalakāriṇe | saṃsāranimnagāvartatarikāṣṭhāya viṣṇave

Salutation to Vishnu, who draws a protective circle against the terrors of hell, and is the raft of timber across the whirlpools of the river of worldly existence.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition's constituted text (found in the vulgate recension): the CE star passage 12.47.60b*0093_01-02 (namo narakasaṃtrāsarakṣāmaṇḍalakāriṇe / saṃsāranimnagāvartatarakāṣṭhāya viṣṇave), identical..

prāṇakāntārapātheyaṃ saṃsārocchedabheṣajam | duḥkhaśokaparitrāṇaṃ harirityakṣaradvayam

The two syllables "Hari" are the provisions for the wilderness through which the breath of life must travel, the medicine that cuts off worldly existence, and the shelter from sorrow and grief.

Note on the text: Removed the closing square bracket and the stray doubled daṇḍa printed before it (they end the bracketed passage of verses 123-127). Not in the critical edition's constituted text (found in the vulgate recension): the CE star passage 12.47.60b*0093_05-06 (prāṇakāntārapātheyaṃ saṃsāracchedabheṣajam / duḥkhaśokaparitrāṇaṃ harir ity akṣaradvayam), identical..

yathā viṣṇumayaṃ satyaṃ yathā viṣṇumayaṃ haviḥ | tathā viṣṇumayaṃ sarvaṃ pāpmā me naśyatāṃ tathā

As truth is made of Vishnu, as the oblation is made of Vishnu, so is everything made of Vishnu; so may my sin perish.

Note on the text: Corrected ने → मे (misprint in Wikisource; "may my sin perish", CE pāpmā me naśyatāṃ tathā).

Verse 131 (12.46.131)

तस्य यज्ञवराहस्य विष्णोरमिततेजसः । प्रणामं येऽपि कुर्वन्ति तेषामपि नमोनमः ॥

त्वां प्रपन्नाय भक्ताय गतिमिष्टां जिगीषवे । यच्छ्रेयः पुण्डरीकाक्ष तद्ध्यायस्व सुरोत्तम ॥

tvāṃ prapannāya bhaktāya gatimiṣṭāṃ jigīṣave | yacchreyaḥ puṇḍarīkākṣa taddhyāyasva surottama

I have come to you for refuge, your devotee, longing to win the goal I desire: whatever is best for me, O lotus-eyed one, best of the gods, bring that to mind.

Verse 133 (12.46.133)

इति विद्यातपोयोनिरयोनिर्विष्णुरीडितः । वाग्यज्ञेनार्चितो देवः प्रीयतां मे जनार्दनः ॥

iti vidyātapoyonirayonirviṣṇurīḍitaḥ | vāgyajñenārcito devaḥ prīyatāṃ me janārdanaḥ

When that speech had ended, the Brahmavadins, their throats choked with tears, honoured the greatly radiant Bhishma with their words.

Note on the text: Recension variants against CE 12.47.66 (CE tasminn uparate śabde … bāṣpakaṇṭhās … ānarcur mahāmatim): Wikisource वाक्ये, वाष्पगलाः and महाद्युतिम् are kept. The page places this after 12.47.64 and before 12.47.65 (which is verse 136 here).

Those chief brahmins, praising Keshava, the Supreme Person, also praised Bhishma gently, again and again.

Note on the text: Corrected तेऽस्तुवन्तश्च → ते स्तुवन्तश्च (misprint in Wikisource; the stray avagraha makes a non-existent participle अस्तुवन्तः, CE te stuvantaś ca).

Verse 137 (12.46.137)

अधिगम्य तु योगेन भक्तिं भीष्मस्य माधवः । त्रैलोक्यदर्शनं ज्ञानं दिव्यं दत्त्वा ययौ हरिः ॥

adhigamya tu yogena bhaktiṃ bhīṣmasya mādhavaḥ | trailokyadarśanaṃ jñānaṃ divyaṃ dattvā yayau hariḥ

Perceiving Bhishma's devotion through yoga, Madhava Hari bestowed on him the divine knowledge that sees the three worlds, and departed.

Note on the text: Recension variants against CE 12.47.65 (CE abhigamya … traikālyadarśanaṃ jñānaṃ divyaṃ dātuṃ yayau hariḥ): Wikisource अधिगम्य, त्रैलोक्यदर्शनं and दत्त्वा ययौ are kept. The page places this verse after 12.47.67.

Keshava and Satyaki went in one chariot, and the two great-souled ones, Yudhishthira and Dhananjaya, in another.

Note on the text: Corrected रथेनकेन → रथेनैकेन (misprint in Wikisource; the sandhi vowel is missing, CE rathenaikena).

भीमसेनो यमौ चोभौ रथमेकं समास्थिताः । कृपो युयुत्सुः सूतश्च सञ्जयश्चापरं रथम् ॥

Bhimasena and both the twins mounted a single chariot; Kripa, Yuyutsu, the charioteer and Sanjaya rode in another.

Verse 141 (12.46.141)

ते रथैर्नगराकारैः प्रयाताः पुरुषर्षभाः । नेमिघोषेण महता कम्पयन्ते वसुंधराम् ॥

te rathairnagarākāraiḥ prayātāḥ puruṣarṣabhāḥ | nemighoṣeṇa mahatā kampayante vasuṃdharām

tato giraḥ puruṣavarastaveritāṃ | dvijeritāḥ pathiṣu manāk sa śuśruve | kṛtāñjaliṃ praṇatamathāparaṃ janaṃ | sa keśihā muditamanābhyanandata

Then, as He went along the roads, the Best of Men faintly heard the words uttered in His praise by the brahmins; and Keshava, slayer of Keshin, glad at heart, acknowledged the other folk who stood bowing with joined palms.

Note on the text: Corrected मुदितमनास्थनन्दत → मुदितमनाभ्यनन्दत (misprint in Wikisource; स्थ for भ्य, the verb is अभ्यनन्दत, CE muditamanābhyanandata).

इति स्मरन्पठति च शार्ङ्गधन्वनः । शृणोतु वा यदुकुलनन्दनस्तवम् । स चक्रभृत्प्रतिहतसर्वकिल्विषो । जनार्दनं प्रविशति देहसंक्षये ॥

iti smaranpaṭhati ca śārṅgadhanvanaḥ | śṛṇotu vā yadukulanandanastavam | sa cakrabhṛtpratihatasarvakilviṣo | janārdanaṃ praviśati dehasaṃkṣaye

Whoever thus remembers and recites this praise of the wielder of the Sharnga bow, the delight of the Yadu house, or hears it, has all his sins destroyed and enters Janardana, the bearer of the discus, when the body falls away.

Him whom yogis, at the time of their breath's departure, fix in the mind with effort: seeing that very Hari before him, Bhishma, his goal attained, gave up his life-breaths.

Here ends this king of hymns to Vishnu of wondrous deeds, sung long ago by Gangeya, the destroyer of great sins.

Note on the text: Corrected स्ववराजः → स्तवराजः (misprint in Wikisource; "king of hymns", as the next verse and the CE read, stavarājaḥ). Not in the critical edition's constituted text (found in the vulgate recension): the CE star passage 12.47.72d*0099_09-10 (stavarājaḥ samāpto 'yaṃ viṣṇor adbhutakarmaṇaḥ / gāṅgeyena purā gīto mahāpātakanāśanaḥ), identical; the same lines are the star 12.47.65d*0098_03-04..
