Verse 1

सूत उवाच । अश्वत्थलाक्षावह्नौ च सर्षपान्केसरप्लुतान् । जुह्वतो मंत्रमुख्यैश्च बलातिबलसंज्ञकैः

Sūta said: As they were offering oblations into the fire fed with aśvattha-wood and lac, casting mustard-seeds moistened with saffron, and invoking the foremost mantras known as Balā and Atibalā,

Verse 2

यामे तु प्रथमे याते काचिन्नारी समाययौ । शोणिताक्तैकवसना महोच्चोर्ध्वशिरोरुहा

When the first watch of the night had passed, a certain woman arrived—clad in a single garment smeared with blood, her hair standing high and bristling upward.

Verse 3

दारुणाक्षी शुक्लदन्ती भयस्यापि भयंकरी । सा रुरोद महारावं प्राप्य तां होमभूमिकाम्

With dreadful eyes and white teeth—terrifying even to fear itself—she, upon reaching the ground of the homa fire-rite, let out a great, thunderous wail.

Verse 4

तां दृष्ट्वा चुक्षुभे सद्यो विजयो भीतिमानिव । बर्बरीकश्च निर्भीतिस्तस्याः संमुखमाययौ

Seeing her, Vijaya at once grew agitated, as though seized by fear; but Barbarīka, fearless, went straight to face her.

Verse 5

ततः कण्ठं समाश्लिष्य तस्या मतिमतां वरः । रुरोद द्विगुणं वीरो मेघवन्नादयन्बहु

Then that hero—best among the intelligent—seized her by the throat and cried out twice as loudly, roaring again and again like a cloud.

Verse 6

तं दृष्ट्वा विस्मिता सा च यावन्मुंचति कर्तिकाम् । तावन्निष्पीडिते कंठे मोक्तुं तस्मिन्न चाशकत्

Seeing him, she was astonished; and as long as he did not release her, with her throat tightly gripped she was unable to free herself from him.

Verse 7

पीड्यमाने च बलिना कंठे तस्या मुहुर्मुहुः । मुमुोच विविधाञ्छब्दान्वज्राहत इवाचलः

And as the strong one repeatedly pressed her throat, she again and again emitted various sounds—like a mountain struck by a thunderbolt.

Verse 8

क्षणं रावांस्ततो मुक्त्वा त्राहि मुञ्चेति वक्त्यणु । ततः कृपालुना मुक्ता पादयोः पतिताऽब्रवीत्

After letting out a cry for a moment, she pleaded in a faint voice, “Save me—release me!” Then, being freed by the compassionate one, she fell at his feet and spoke.

Verse 9

शरणं ते प्रपन्नास्मि दासी कर्मकरी तव । महाजिह्वेति मां विद्धि राक्षसीं कामरूपिणीम्

I have sought refuge in you. I am your handmaid, your worker. Know me as Mahājihvā—a rākṣasī who can assume forms at will.

Verse 10

काशीश्मशाननिलयां देवदानवदर्पहाम् । ददासि यदि मे वीर दुर्लभां प्राणदक्षिणाम्

O hero, if you grant me the rare gift of life—(I shall dwell in) Kāśī, whose abode is the cremation-ground, the humbler of the pride of gods and demons.

Verse 11

ततस्तपश्चरिष्यामि सर्वभूताभयप्रदा । अस्मिन्नर्थे स्वदेवस्य शपथा मे तथात्मनः

Then I shall practice austerity (tapas), becoming a giver of fearlessness to all beings. In this matter, I swear by my own chosen deity—and by my very self.

Verse 12

यद्येतद्व्यत्ययं कुर्यां भस्मीभूयां ततः क्षणम् । एवं ब्रुवाणां तां वीरो निगृह्य शपथैर्दृढम्

If I should violate this, may I be reduced to ashes that very instant. As she spoke thus, the hero restrained her firmly, binding her with solemn oaths.

Verse 13

मुमोच सापि संहृष्टा कृच्छ्रान्मुक्ता ययौ वनम् । सोऽपि वीरः खङ्गधारी तत्रैवावस्थितोऽभवत्

He released her; and she too, delighted—freed from distress—went to the forest. That hero, bearing a sword, remained stationed there.

Verse 14

ततो मध्यमरात्रौ च गर्जितं श्रूयते महत् । अन्धकारं च संजज्ञे तमोंऽधनरकप्रभम्

Then, at midnight, a mighty roar was heard, and darkness arose—gloomy like the radiance of a blind hell.

Verse 15

ददृशे च ततः शैलः शतशृंगोऽतिविस्तरः । नानाशिलाः प्रमुमुचे नानावृक्षांश्च सोच्छ्रयान्

Then a mountain appeared—vast, with a hundred peaks. It hurled forth many kinds of rocks, and many trees as well, towering aloft.

Verse 16

नानानिर्झर संघोषं ववृषे शोणितं वहु । तं तथा नगमालोक्य निर्भीतो भैमिनंदनः

With a tumult like many waterfalls, much blood rained down. Seeing the mountain in that state, the son of Bhīmā remained unafraid.

Verse 17

पर्वतो द्विगुणो भूत्वा पर्वतं सहसाप्लुतः । तदाभिजघ्ने संहृत्य पर्वतं स्वेन भूभृता

Becoming twice as large, the mountain suddenly leapt upon the other mountain. Then it struck it down, seizing and crushing it with its own mass.

Verse 18

तदा विशीर्णः सोऽभूच्च पर्वतो भूमिमंडले । ततो योजनदेहात्मा शतशीर्षः शतोदरः

Then, upon the circle of the earth, that mountain-like form collapsed and lay shattered. From it arose a being of a body measuring a yojana—having a hundred heads and a hundred bellies.

Verse 19

वक्त्रैर्मुंचन्महाज्वालां रेपलेन्द्रोऽभ्यधावत । तं धावमानं दृष्ट्वैव बर्बरीको महाबलः

Repalendra charged forward, spewing mighty flames from his many mouths. Seeing him rush in, the great and powerful Barbarīka also advanced to meet him.

Verse 20

विधाय तादृशं रूपं नर्दन्तं चाप्यधावत । ततो मध्यमरात्रौ ती लघु चित्रं च सुष्ठु च

Assuming such a form and roaring aloud, he too ran forward. Then, in the middle of the night, there occurred something swift, wondrous, and most striking.

Verse 21

युयुधाते बाणजालैर्यथा प्रावृषि तोयदौ । छिन्नचापौ च खङ्गाभ्यां छिन्नखड्गौ च मुष्टिभिः

They fought with nets of arrows like rain-clouds in the monsoon. Their bows were cut by swords, and their swords were smashed away by fists.

Verse 22

पर्वताविव सत्पक्षौ चिरं युयुधतुः स्थिरम् । ततः कक्षे समुत्पाट्य भ्रामयित्वा मुहूर्तकम्

Like two mountains with mighty wings, they fought steadfastly for a long time. Then, seizing the foe at the waist, he tore him up and whirled him around for a moment.

Verse 23

भूमौ प्रधर्षयामास प्रसृतं च मुमोच ह । चिक्षेप चाग्निकोणे तं महीसागररोधसि

He dashed him down upon the ground and, as he lay sprawled, released his hold. Then he hurled him toward the south-east, to the boundary where land meets the ocean.

Verse 24

तद्दूरे रेपलेन्द्राख्यं ग्राममद्यापि वर्तते । एवं स रेपलोनाम वृत्रतुल्यपराक्रमः

Not far from that place, a village called Repalendra exists even today. Thus was that Repala, whose prowess was like Vṛtra’s.

नाथः श्मशानस्यावन्त्या विघ्नकृन्निहतोऽभवत् । तं निहत्य पुनर्वीरो बर्बरीकः स्थितोऽभवत्

The lord of the cremation-ground of Avanti—one who caused obstacles—was slain. Having killed him, the hero Barbarīka stood again, firm and unshaken.

ततस्तृतीययामे च प्रतीच्या दिश आययौ । पर्वताभा महानादा पादैः कम्पयतीव भूः

Then, in the third watch of the night, from the western direction there came one mountain-like in form, roaring loudly, as though shaking the earth with her feet.

Verse 27

दुहद्रुहाख्याश्वतरी मेघभ्रष्टा तडिद्यथा । तामायांतीं तथा दृष्ट्वा सूर्यवैश्वानरप्रभाम्

A she-mule named Duhadruhā appeared, like lightning fallen from a cloud. Seeing her coming, radiant with the splendor of the sun and of Vaiśvānara-fire, (he reacted).

उपसृत्य जवाद्भैमी रुरोह प्रहसन्निव । वेगात्ततः प्रद्रवतीं तुण्डे प्राहत्य मुष्टिभिः

Rushing up with great speed, Bhairavī mounted upon him as if laughing. Then, as she darted forward with force, he struck her in the face with his fists.

Verse 29

स्थापयामास तत्रैव तस्थौ सा चातिपीडिता । ततः क्रुद्धा महारावं कृत्वाप्लुत्य दुहद्रुहा

He forced her down right there and she stood, sorely crushed. Then, enraged, Duhadruhā leapt up, uttering a tremendous roar.

She swiftly hurled Barbarīka down onto the ground, as she wished. Then, roaring fiercely, she delivered a violent kick.

Verse 31

पादौ च वीरः संगृह्य चिक्षेप भुवि लीलया । ततः पुनः समुत्थाय धावंतीं तां निगृह्य सः

The hero seized her feet and, as if in sport, flung her to the ground. Then, rising again, he caught and checked her as she charged forward.

Verse 32

मुष्टिना पातयित्वैव दंतान्कंठमपीडयत् । क्लिन्नं वास इवापीड्य प्राणानत्याजयद्द्रुतम्

Knocking her down with his fist, he crushed her teeth and throttled her throat. Squeezing her like a soaked cloth, he quickly made her give up her life-breath.

Thus, in the region to the north of Sīka—at the cremation-ground called Eka-pada—she, the overlord of the Śākinīs, was slain by Barbarīka.

Verse 34

After killing her, he cast her westward as though in sport. Even to this day, it is said that a village named Duhadruhā stands there.

Verse 35

ततस्तथैव संतस्थौ बर्बरीकोऽभिरक्षणे । ततश्चतुर्थे यामे च प्राप्तः क्षपणकोऽद्भुतः

Then Barbarīka remained stationed there, keeping watch as before. And in the fourth watch of the night, a wondrous ascetic, a kṣapaṇaka, arrived.

Bald-headed, naked, clad in peacock feathers, and observing a great vow, he spoke these words: “Alas, alas—this is exceedingly grievous, sir!”

Verse 37

अहिंसा परमो धर्मस्तदग्निर्ज्वाल्यते कुतः । हूयमाने यतो वह्नौ सूक्ष्मजीववधो महान्

“Non-violence is the highest dharma—so how can this fire be kindled? For when offerings are poured into the flame, there is great slaughter of subtle living beings.”

Verse 38

Hearing his words, Barbarīka spoke with a smile, while the sacrificial fire was being kindled and oblations were being offered—invoking the presence of all the gods.

Verse 39

अनृतं भाषसे पाप शिक्षायोग्योऽसि दुर्मते । इत्युक्त्वा सहसोत्पत्य कक्षामध्ये स्थिरोऽस्य च

“You speak falsehood, sinner—your wicked mind deserves correction!” Saying this, he sprang up at once and stood firmly at his foe’s waist, within his grasp.

दन्तान्मुष्टिप्रहारैश्च समाहत्याभ्यपातयत् । रुधिराविलवक्त्रं तं मुमोच पतितं भुवि

Striking him with fist-blows upon the teeth, he smashed him down. His face smeared with blood, the foe was released and fell upon the ground.

Verse 41

स क्षणाच्चेतनां प्राप्य घोरदैत्यवपुर्धरः । भयाद्भैमेः प्रदुद्राव गुहाविवरमाविशत्

In a moment he regained consciousness—dreadful, wearing a daitya’s form. Fearing Bhīma’s descendant, he fled and entered a cleft in a cave.

Verse 42

बहुप्रभेति नगरी षष्टियोजनमायता । तस्यां विवेश सहसा तं चानु बर्बरीककः

There was a city called Bahuprabhā, radiant, stretching sixty yojanas. Into it he entered suddenly, and Barbarīka followed close behind him.

Seeing Barbarīka, a great outcry arose among the Palāśins: “Run! Kill him! Cut him down! Pierce and shatter him!”

As an enraged elephant levels a thicket of reeds to the ground, so did he slaughter nine crores—together with that Palāśin.

Barbarīka said: “He alone is called a true good man who helps without any expectation. If someone helps while desiring a return, what virtue is there in calling him ‘good’?”

Verse 79

तद्देहि भस्म चान्यस्मै केनाप्यर्थो न मेऽण्वपि । प्रसादसुमुखां दृष्टिं विना नान्यद्वृणोमि ते

Give that ash to someone else—for I seek not even the slightest worldly gain from anyone. Save for your gracious, kindly glance of favor, I ask you for nothing else.

Verse 80

देवा ऊचुः । कुरूणां पांडवानां च भविष्यति महान्रणः । ततो भूमिस्थितं भस्म प्राप्स्यंति यदि कौरवाः

The gods said: “A great war will arise between the Kurus and the Pāṇḍavas. If, after that, the Kauravas obtain the ash lying upon the ground…”

“Then, clearly, a great calamity would befall the Pāṇḍavas. Therefore, you should take this ash.” And he, too, acted in accordance with those words.

Verse 82

देवीभिः सहिता देवाः संमान्य विजयं च ते । सिद्धैश्वर्यं ददुस्तस्मै सिद्धसेनेति नाम च

The gods, accompanied by the goddesses, honored Vijaya. They bestowed upon him perfected powers and prosperity, and also gave him the name “Siddhasena.”

Verse 83

एवं स विजयो विप्रः सिद्धिं लेभे सुदुर्लभाम् । बर्बरीकश्च कृत्वैतद्देवीभक्तिरतोऽवसत्

Thus that brāhmaṇa Vijaya attained a very rare perfection. And Barbarīka, having done this, lived on devotedly engaged in worship of the Goddess.
