Narayaneeyam: Dashakam 84
नारायणीयम् · दशक 84
क्वचिदथ तपनोपरागकाले पुरि निदधत्कृतवर्मकामसूनू।
यदुकुलमहिलावृतः सुतीर्थं समुपगतोऽसि समन्तपञ्चकाख्यम्॥Kvachidatha tapanoparagakale puri nidadhatkritavarmakamasunu, yadukulamahilavritah sutirtham samupagatosi samantapanchakakhyam.
Then once, at the time of a solar eclipse, leaving Kritavarma and Aniruddha in the city, you went with the women of the Yadu clan to the holy place called Samantapanchaka.
बहुतरजनताहिताय तत्र त्वमपि पुनर्विनिमज्ज्य तीर्थतोयम्।
द्विजगणपरिमुक्तवित्तराशिः सममिलथाः कुरुपाण्डवादिमित्रैः॥Bahutarajanatahitaya tatra tvamapi punarvinimajjya tirthatoyam, dvijaganaparimuktavittarashih samamilathah kurupandavadimitraih.
There, for the good of the people, you too bathed in the sacred water, gave heaps of wealth to the Brahmins, and met your friends, the Kurus, the Pandavas and others.
तव खलु दयिताजनैः समेता द्रुपदसुता त्वयि गाढभक्तिभारा।
तदुदितभवदाहृतिप्रकारैरतिमुमुदे सममन्यभामिनीभिः॥Tava khalu dayitajanaih sameta drupadasuta tvayi gadhabhaktibhara, taduditabhavadahritiprakarairatimumude samamanyabhaminibhih.
Draupadi, deeply devoted to you, met your queens and, with the other women, was delighted to hear from them how you had won each of them.
तदनु च भगवन् निरीक्ष्य गोपानतिकुतुकादुपगम्य मानयित्वा।
चिरतरविरहातुराङ्गरेखाः पशुपवधूः सरसं त्वमन्वयासीः॥Tadanu cha bhagavan nirikshya gopanatikutukadupagamya manayitva, chirataravirahaturangarekhah pashupavadhuh sarasam tvamanvayasih.
Then, Lord, seeing the cowherds, you hurried to them eagerly and honoured them, and lovingly sought out the cowherd women, grown thin from long separation.
सपदि च भवदीक्षणोत्सवेन प्रमुषितमानहृदां नितम्बिनीनाम्।
अतिरसपरिमुक्तकञ्चुलीके परिचयहृद्यतरे कुचे न्यलैषीः॥Sapadi cha bhavadikshanotsavena pramushitamanahridam nitambininam, atirasaparimuktakanchulike parichayahridyatare kuche nyalaishih.
At once, as the joy of seeing you swept away the hurt pride in their hearts, you held them close to your heart with overflowing love.
रिपुजनकलहैः पुनः पुनर्मे समुपगतैरियती विलम्बनाभूत्।
इति कृतपरिरम्भणे त्वयि द्रागतिविवशा खलु राधिका निलिल्ये॥Ripujanakalahaih punah punarme samupagatairiyati vilambanabhut, iti kritaparirambhane tvayi dragativivasha khalu radhika nililye.
‘Battles with enemies, one after another, caused this long delay,’ you said as you embraced her, and Radha, overwhelmed, melted into your arms.
अपगतविरहव्यथास्तदा ता रहसि विधाय ददाथ तत्त्वबोधम्।
परमसुखचिदात्मकोऽहमात्मेत्युदयतु वः स्फुटमेव चेतसीति॥Apagatavirahavyathastada ta rahasi vidhaya dadatha tattvabodham, paramasukhachidatmakohamatmetyudayatu vah sphutameva chetasiti.
When their pain of separation had gone, you took them aside and taught them the truth: ‘May it shine clearly in your minds that I am the Self, made of supreme joy and consciousness.’
सुखरसपरिमिश्रितो वियोगः किमपि पुराभवदुद्धवोपदेशैः।
समभवदमुतः परं तु तासां परमसुखैक्यमयी भवद्विचिन्ता॥Sukharasaparimishrito viyogah kimapi purabhavaduddhavopadeshaih, samabhavadamutah param tu tasam paramasukhaikyamayi bhavadvichinta.
Before, through Uddhava’s teaching, their separation had been touched with some sweetness; but from then on, their thoughts of you became the supreme joy of oneness.
मुनिवरनिवहैस्तवाथ पित्रा दुरितशमाय शुभानि पृच्छ्यमानैः।
त्वयि सति किमिदं शुभान्तरैरित्युरुहसितैरपि याजितस्तदासौ॥Munivaranivahaistavatha pitra duritashamaya shubhani prichchhyamanaih, tvayi sati kimidam shubhantarairityuruhasitairapi yajitastadasau.
Your father asked the great sages for rites to remove sin; they laughed heartily, ‘With him beside you, why seek other blessings?’ Even so, they had him perform a sacrifice.
सुमहति यजने वितायमाने प्रमुदितमित्रजने सहैव गोपाः।
यदुजनमहितास्त्रिमासमात्रं भवदनुषङ्गरसं पुरेव भेजुः॥Sumahati yajane vitayamane pramuditamitrajane sahaiva gopah, yadujanamahitastrimasamatram bhavadanushangarasam pureva bhejuh.
As the great sacrifice went on and friends rejoiced, the cowherds too, honoured by the Yadavas, enjoyed your company for three months, just as before.
व्यपगमसमये समेत्य राधां दृढमुपगूह्य निरीक्ष्य वीतखेदाम्।
प्रमुदितहृदयः पुरं प्रयातः पवनपुरेश्वर पाहि मां गदेभ्यः॥Vyapagamasamaye sametya radham dridhamupaguhya nirikshya vitakhedam, pramuditahridayah puram prayatah pavanapureshvara pahi mam gadebhyah.
At parting, you went to Radha, held her tightly, saw her free of sorrow, and went back to your city with a happy heart. O Lord of Guruvayur, protect me from illness.
