ā janmano janmajarātakasya tasyātmajasyātmajitaḥ sa rājā |
ahanyahanyarthagajāśvamitrairvddhi yayau sidharivābuvegaiḥ || 2.1
1. From the time of the birth of that son of his, who, the true master of himself, was to
end all birth and old age, the king increased day by day in wealth, elephants, horses,
and friends as a river increases with its influx of waters.
dhanasya ratnasya ca tasya tasya ktāktasyaiva ca kācanasya |
tadā hi naikātmanidhīnavāpi manorathasyāpyatibhārabhūtān || 2.2
2. Of different kinds of wealth and jewels, and of gold, wrought or unwrought, he
found 1 treasures of manifold variety, 2 surpassing even the capacity of his desires.
ye padmakalpairapi ca dvipedrairna maḍala śakyamihābhinetum |
madotkaṭā haimavatā gajāste vināpi yatnādupatasthurenam || 2.3
3. Elephants from Himavat, raging with rut, whom not even princes of elephants like
Padma 3 could teach to go round in circles, came without any effort and waited on him.
nānākacihnairnavahemabhāḍairabhūṣitairlabasaṭaistathānyaiḥ |
sacukṣubhe cāsya pura turagairbalena maitryā ca dhanena cāptaiḥ || 2.4
4. His city was all astir with the crowds of horses, some adorned with various marks
and decked with new golden trappings, others unadorned and with long flowing
manes, — suitable alike in strength, gentleness, and costly ornaments. 4
puṣṭāśca tuṣṭāśca tadāsya rājye sādhvyo ’rajaskā guṇavatpayaskāḥ |
udagravatsaiḥ sahitā babhūvurbahvyo bahukṣīraduhaśca gāvaḥ || 2.5
5. And many fertile cows, with tall calves, gathered in his kingdom, well nourished
and happy, gentle and without fierceness, and producing excellent milk.
madhyasthatā tasya ripurjagāma madhyasvabhāvaḥ prayayau suhttvam |
viśeṣato dārḍhyamiyāya mitra dvāvasya pakṣāvaparastu nāśam || 2.6
6. His enemies became indifferent; indifference grew into friendship; his friends
became specially united; were there two sides, — one passed into oblivion.
1 I suppose avāpi to be used as a middle aorist like abodhi (cf, Śiśup. i, 3). Should we read
avāpa?
2 I take naikātman as ‘of manifold nature’.
3 Mahāpadma is the name of the elephant which supports the world in the South.
4 I read āptaiḥ.
