|
| 1 | atraiva ca sarasvatyā gītaṃ parapuraṃjaya
pṛṣṭayā muninā vīra śṛṇu tārkṣyeṇa dhīmatā
|
| 2 | tārkṣya uvāca
|
| 2 | kiṃ nu śreyaḥ puruṣasyeha bhadre; kathaṃ kurvan na cyavate svadharmāt
ācakṣva me cārusarvāṅgi sarvaṃ; tvayānuśiṣṭo na cyaveyaṃ svadharmāt
|
| 3 | kathaṃ cāgniṃ juhuyāṃ pūjaye vā; kasmin kāle kena dharmo na naśyet
etat sarvaṃ subhage prabravīhi; yathā lokān virajāḥ saṃcareyam
|
| 4 | mārkaṇḍeya uvāca
|
| 4 | evaṃ pṛṣṭā prītiyuktena tena; śuśrūṣum īkṣyottamabuddhiyuktam
tārkṣyaṃ vipraṃ dharmayuktaṃ hitaṃ ca; sarasvatī vākyam idaṃ babhāṣe
|
| 5 | sarasvaty uvāca
|
| 5 | yo brahma jānāti yathāpradeśaṃ; svādhyāyanityaḥ śucir apramattaḥ
sa vai puro devapurasya gantā; sahāmaraiḥ prāpnuyāt prītiyogam
|
| 6 | tatra sma ramyā vipulā viśokāḥ; supuṣpitāḥ puṣkariṇyaḥ supuṇyāḥ
akardamā mīnavatyaḥ sutīrthā; hiraṇmayair āvṛtāḥ puṇḍarīkaiḥ
|
| 7 | tāsāṃ tīreṣv āsate puṇyakarmā; mahīyamānaḥ pṛthag apsarobhiḥ
supuṇyagandhābhir alaṃkṛtābhir; hiraṇyavarṇābhir atīva hṛṣṭaḥ
|
| 8 | paraṃ lokaṃ gopradās tv āpnuvanti; dattvānaḍvāhaṃ sūryalokaṃ vrajanti
vāso dattvā candramasaḥ sa lokaṃ; dattvā hiraṇyam amṛtatvam eti
|
| 9 | dhenuṃ dattvā suvratāṃ sādhudohāṃ; kalyāṇavat sāmapalāyinīṃ ca
yāvanti romāṇi bhavanti tasyās; tāvad varṣāṇy aśnute svargalokam
|
| 10 | anaḍvāhaṃ suvrataṃ yo dadāti; halasya voḍhāram anantavīryam
dhuraṃdharaṃ balavantaṃ yuvānaṃ; prāpnoti lokān daśa dhenudasya
|
| 11 | yaḥ sapta varṣāṇi juhoti tārkṣya; havyaṃ tv agnau suvrataḥ sādhuśīlaḥ
saptāvarān sapta pūrvān punāti; pitāmahān ātmanaḥ karmabhiḥ svaiḥ
|
| 12 | tārkṣya uvāca
|
| 12 | kim agnihotrasya vrataṃ purāṇam; ācakṣva me pṛcchataś cārurūpe
tvayānuśiṣṭo 'ham ihādya vidyāṃ; yad agnihotrasya vrataṃ purāṇam
|
| 13 | sarasvaty uvāca
|
| 13 | na cāśucir nāpy anirṇiktapāṇir; nābrahmavij juhuyān nāvipaścit
bubhukṣavaḥ śucikāmā hi devā; nāśraddadhānād dhi havir juṣanti
|
| 14 | nāśrotriyaṃ devahavye niyuñjyān; moghaṃ parā siñcati tādṛśo hi
apūrṇam aśrotriyam āha tārkṣya; na vai tādṛg juhuyād agnihotram
|
| 15 | kṛśānuṃ ye juhvati śraddadhānāḥ; satyavratā hutaśiṣṭāśinaś ca
gavāṃ lokaṃ prāpya te puṇyagandhaṃ; paśyanti devaṃ paramaṃ cāpi satyam
|
| 16 | tārkṣya uvāca
|
| 16 | kṣetrajñabhūtāṃ paralokabhāve; karmodaye buddhim atipraviṣṭām
prajñāṃ ca devīṃ subhage vimṛśya; pṛcchāmi tvāṃ kā hy asi cārurūpe
|
| 17 | sarasvaty uvāca
|
| 17 | agnihotrād aham abhyāgatāsmi; viprarṣabhāṇāṃ saṃśayacchedanāya
tvatsaṃyogād aham etad abruvaṃ; bhāve sthitā tathyam arthaṃ yathāvat
|
| 18 | tārkṣya uvāca
|
| 18 | na hi tvayā sadṛśī kā cid asti; vibhrājase hy atimātraṃ yathā śrīḥ
rūpaṃ ca te divyam atyantakāntaṃ; prajñāṃ ca devīṃ subhage bibharṣi
|
| 19 | sarasvaty uvāca
|
| 19 | śreṣṭhāni yāni dvipadāṃ variṣṭha; yajñeṣu vidvann upapādayanti
tair evāhaṃ saṃpravṛddhā bhavāmi; āpyāyitā rūpavatī ca vipra
|
| 20 | yac cāpi dravyam upayujyate ha; vānaspatyam āyasaṃ pārthivaṃ vā
divyena rūpeṇa ca prajñayā ca; tenaiva siddhir iti viddhi vidvan
|
| 21 | tārkṣya uvāca
|
| 21 | idaṃ śreyaḥ paramaṃ manyamānā; vyāyacchante munayaḥ saṃpratītāḥ
ācakṣva me taṃ paramaṃ viśokaṃ; mokṣaṃ paraṃ yaṃ praviśanti dhīrāḥ
|
| 22 | sarasvaty uvāca
|
| 22 | taṃ vai paraṃ vedavidaḥ prapannāḥ; paraṃ parebhyaḥ prathitaṃ purāṇam
svādhyāyadānavratapuṇyayogais; tapodhanā vītaśokā vimuktāḥ
|
| 23 | tasyātha madhye vetasaḥ puṇyagandhaḥ; sahasraśākho vimalo vibhāti
tasya mūlāt saritaḥ prasravanti; madhūdakaprasravaṇā ramaṇyaḥ
|
| 24 | śākhāṃ śākhāṃ mahānadyaḥ saṃyānti sikatāsamāḥ
dhānāpūpā māṃsaśākāḥ sadā pāyasakardamāḥ
|
| 25 | yasminn agnimukhā devāḥ sendrāḥ saha marudgaṇaiḥ
ījire kratubhiḥ śreṣṭhais tat padaṃ paramaṃ mune
