vishvasmAd indra uttaraH |
indra is greater than all!
vishvAmitro ha vA indrasya priyaM dhAmopjagAma shastreNa cha
vratacharyayA |
vishvAmitra indeed went to the dear abode of indra due to his vedic
compositions and rites.
taM hendra uvAcha vishvAmitra varaM vR^iNIShveti |
To him indra said, “vishvAmitra, choose a boon”.
sa hovAcha vishvAmitras tvAM eva vijAIyAM iti |
vishvAmitra said: “let me know you”.
dvitIyaM iti | tvAm eveti | tR^itIyaM iti | tvAM eveti |
i: [choose] the second time. v: You only. i: [choose] the third
time. v: “You only”
taM hendra uvacha mahAMshcha mahatI chAsmi |
To him indra said: “I am the great (male) and the great (female)”
devashcha devI chAsmi |
I am the god and the goddess
brahma cha brAhmaNI chAsmIti |
I am [the] brahma power [male] the female brahma power.
tata u ha vishvAmitro vijiGYAsAM eva chakre |
vishvAmitra verily still worked to know more.
taM hendra uvAcaitad vA ahaM asmi yad etad avochaM yad vA R^iShe .ato bhUyo.atapAs tadeva tat syAd yad ahaM iti |
To him indra said: “I am that which I have said but what is more, he who does no tapas may [know what I am].
tad vA indro vyAhR^itIr Uche tA upA.a.aptA Asanniti |
Then indeed did indra proclaim the vyAhR^itis. They sufficed for him.
Indeed the chant of the vyAhR^itis is : bhur-bhuva-svaroM |
They fully describe the universe. Hence the shruti states: “yó víshvasya
pratimaánam babhuúva”- the universe is the image of indra.
