श्रीशिवमहापुराण
रुद्रसंहिता — युद्धखण्डअथ षोडशोऽध्यायः
Sanatkumāra resumes the tale of the war with the demon Jālandhara: seeing the demon coming on again, all the gods, headed by Vāsava (Indra), trembled with fear and at once fled together to Vaikuṇṭha, where, placing Prajāpati at their head, all of them, together with Prajāpati, bowed and praised Viṣṇu — Hṛṣīkeśa, the mighty-armed, the destroyer of all demons — with a hymn recalling his successive forms: the fish who brought back the Vedas and sported in the flood-ocean with the righteous king Satyavrata; the tortoise who bore Mount Mandara as the gods laboured mightily to churn the ocean; the boar who bore the earth, the support of all beings, upon his snout; the dwarf named Upendra who beguiled the lord of demons, Bali, in the form of a Brāhmaṇa; Paraśurāma, who made the kṣatriyas kṣatriya-less and, angered, was hostile to the wicked for his mother's sake; Rāma, the joy of the world, the man of moral bounds, the swift ender of Rāvaṇa, lord of Sītā; the deeply mysterious Kṛṣṇa, the supreme self, given to sporting with Rādhā and to manifold play; the one of hidden body who took the form of a Jina and a Buddha, seemingly denying the Vedas, as the teacher of yoga and Lakṣmī's lord; Kalki, ender of the mlecchas, of boundless power, establisher of true dharma; Kapila, the great-souled teacher of Sāṅkhya who taught the Sāṅkhya-yoga to his mother Devahūti; the supreme paramahaṃsa who declares the highest knowledge, the ordainer whose form is knowledge itself, by whom the self is set at peace; and Vedavyāsa, who divided the Vedas and composed the Purāṇas for the good of all the worlds. Thus, in these fish-and-other bodies ever intent on his devotees' business, the creator, sustainer, and destroyer of the universe, to him — Brahmā himself — homage is offered; and to him who removes the affliction of his own servants, giver of happiness and auspiciousness, clad in yellow garments, Hari who rides Garuḍa, the sole doer of every act, the giver of refuge; to the thunderbolt that destroys the sorrows of the immortals afflicted by the demon, who reclines upon the couch of Śeṣa, whose eyes are the sun and moon. The gods, ocean of mercy, lord of Ramā, they cry, calling on him to protect his refuge-seekers: Jālandhara has driven all the gods from heaven, has expelled the sun, moon, and fire from their places, and has driven the king of serpents and Dharmarāja out of the netherworld, so that the gods now wander about like mere mortals, deprived of their glory, and they have come to him for refuge, begging him to devise that demon's death. Hearing this abject speech, Madhusūdana, the ocean of compassion, replied in a voice deep as thunderclouds, telling the gods to cast off fear, for he himself would go to the battle and match his valour against the demon Jālandhara; and so saying, the foe of demons, his heart troubled, rose up at once and, out of compassion, being ever fond of his devotees, mounted Garuḍa in haste. Seeing her beloved departing with the gods, ocean-born Lakṣmī, with joined palms and tearful eyes, spoke: since she is ever his beloved and devoted wife, how can her own brother be slain by him in battle? Viṣṇu answers that he will indeed match his valour against the demon Jālandhara and, praised by the gods, go swiftly to the war, but that — both because Jālandhara arose from a portion of Rudra and by Brahmā's own word, and out of love for her — this Jālandhara shall not in truth be slain by him. So saying, Viṣṇu, mounted on Garuḍa and bearing conch, discus, mace, and sword, sped off to battle with Indra and the other gods; roaring like a lion amid the gods who blazed with his own radiance, he swiftly reached the very place where the demon Jālandhara was. There the demon-hosts, buffeted by the windstorm of the wings of Garuḍa, younger brother of Aruṇa, whirled about the sky like clouds tossed by a gale; and Jālandhara, seeing his demons so buffeted, uttered an angry challenge and rushed swiftly upon Viṣṇu. Meanwhile the gods, delighted and nourished by Hari's own splendour, joined battle with great strength; and Jālandhara, beholding the divine army arrayed and eager for war, commanded his own exceedingly fierce demons for the fight. Jālandhara cries out to his demon champions to wage this hard-fought battle today against Indra and the other powerful but ever-cowardly immortals — summoning the hundred-thousand Mauryas, the hundred Dhaumras, the ten-million Asuras and Kālakeyas alike, the hundred-thousand Kālakas, Daurhṛdas, and Kaṅkas, and every other demon with his own forces, to march out at his command, all arrayed with vast armies and manifold weapons, fearless and free of doubt — and he calls on Śumbha and Niśumbha, mighty in valour, to destroy in an instant these gods who are cowardly and contemptible in war. Thus commanded by Jālandhara, those demons skilled in war, all fought together with their fourfold armies — striking one another down with maces, sharp arrows, spears, paṭṭiśas, lances, some with axes and tridents; and there too, with yet other manifold weapons, the great-hero gods, filled with the strength of Hṛṣīkeśa together with their forces, fought on, loosing sharp arrows and roaring like lions — some with very sharp arrows, some with clubs and lances, some with axes and tridents, striking one another down. Thus a great battle broke out between the gods and the demons, exceedingly fierce, striking fear even into sages and siddhas. सनत्कुमारजी जलन्धर दैत्यके साथ युद्धकी कथा आगे सुनाते हैं — दैत्यको पुनः आते देखकर वासव(इन्द्र)-सहित सभी देवता भयसे काँप उठे और तुरंत मिलकर वैकुण्ठकी ओर भाग गये, जहाँ प्रजापतिको आगे करके सबने मिलकर प्रणामपूर्वक हृषीकेश महाबाहु सर्वदैत्यविनाशक भगवान् विष्णुकी स्तुति की — मत्स्यरूपसे वेदोंको लानेवाले तथा सत्यव्रत राजाके साथ प्रलयसागरमें विहार करनेवाले, समुद्रमन्थनके समय मन्दराचलको धारण करनेवाले कूर्मरूप, वसुन्धराको दाढ़पर धारण करनेवाले वराहरूप, विप्ररूपमें दैत्येन्द्र बलिको छलनेवाले उपेन्द्र नामक वामनरूप, क्षत्रियोंका नाश करनेवाले तथा माताके हितके लिये क्रुद्ध हुए परशुराम, मर्यादापुरुष रावणान्तक सीतापति राम, राधाके साथ विहार करनेवाले तथा नाना लीला करनेवाले गूढज्ञान कृष्ण, वेदनिन्दक जैन-बौद्धरूपधारी योगाचार्य लक्ष्मीपति, म्लेच्छोंका अन्त करनेवाले तथा सद्धर्मकी स्थापना करनेवाले कल्किरूप, देवहूतिको सांख्ययोगका उपदेश देनेवाले महात्मा कपिल, तथा वेदोंका विभाजन करनेवाले एवं पुराणोंकी रचना करनेवाले वेदव्यास — इन मत्स्यादि रूपोंमें सदा भक्तोंके कार्यमें तत्पर, सृष्टि-स्थिति-प्रलयके कर्ता ब्रह्मस्वरूप उन्हें नमस्कार किया गया; तथा अपने दासोंका दुःख हरनेवाले, सुखद-शुभस्वरूप, पीताम्बरधारी, गरुड़वाहन हरिको, सभी क्रियाओंके एकमात्र कर्ता तथा शरणागतरक्षकको भी नमस्कार किया गया; दैत्यसे सन्तप्त देवताओंके दुःखका नाश करनेवाले वज्रस्वरूप, शेषशय्यापर शयन करनेवाले तथा सूर्य-चन्द्र नेत्रवालेको भी नमस्कार किया गया। कृपासागर रमानाथसे देवता प्रार्थना करते हैं कि जलन्धरने सभी देवताओंको स्वर्गसे निकाल दिया है, सूर्य, चन्द्र तथा अग्निको उनके स्थानसे तथा पातालसे नागराज एवं धर्मराजको भी हटा दिया है, जिससे देवता मनुष्योंके समान इधर-उधर भटक रहे हैं और शोभाहीन हो गये हैं; अतः वे शरणागत हैं और उस दैत्यके वधका उपाय सोचनेकी प्रार्थना करते हैं। देवताओंकी यह दीन वाणी सुनकर करुणासिन्धु मधुसूदन मेघके समान गम्भीर वाणीमें कहते हैं कि देवता भय त्याग दें, वे स्वयं युद्धमें जाकर दैत्य जलन्धरसे पराक्रम करेंगे; ऐसा कहकर खिन्नमनवाले किन्तु भक्तवत्सल विष्णु सहसा उठकर कृपापूर्वक गरुड़पर सवार हो जाते हैं। अपने प्रियतमको देवताओंके साथ जाते देखकर समुद्रपुत्री लक्ष्मी हाथ जोड़े, आँसू भरे नेत्रोंसे कहती हैं कि यदि वे सदा उनकी भक्त एवं प्रिया हैं, तो अपने ही भाईका वध युद्धमें कैसे किया जा सकता है। विष्णु उत्तर देते हैं कि वे दैत्य जलन्धरके साथ पराक्रम अवश्य करेंगे और देवताओंसे स्तुत होकर शीघ्र युद्धके लिये जायेंगे, किन्तु रुद्रके अंशसे उत्पन्न होनेके कारण, ब्रह्माके वचनके कारण तथा लक्ष्मीके प्रेमके कारण, यह जलन्धर वस्तुतः उनके द्वारा वध्य नहीं है। ऐसा कहकर शंख-चक्र-गदा-खड्गधारी विष्णु गरुड़पर सवार होकर इन्द्रादि देवताओंके साथ वेगपूर्वक युद्धके लिये चल पड़ते हैं और सिंहनाद करते हुए, अपने ही तेजसे प्रज्वलित देवताओंके साथ शीघ्र वहीं पहुँचते हैं जहाँ जलन्धर था। अरुणके अनुज गरुड़के पंखोंकी वायुसे पीड़ित होकर दैत्य आकाशमें बादलोंकी भाँति चक्कर काटने लगते हैं; अपने दैत्योंको इस प्रकार पीड़ित देखकर जलन्धर क्रोधसे ललकारता हुआ वेगपूर्वक विष्णुकी ओर झपटता है। इसी बीच हरिके तेजसे पुष्ट तथा महाबलसम्पन्न देवता भी प्रसन्न होकर युद्ध करने लगते हैं; युद्धके लिये उद्यत तथा उपस्थित देवसेनाको देखकर जलन्धर अपने अत्यन्त उन्मत्त दैत्योंको समरमें आज्ञा देता है। जलन्धर अपने श्रेष्ठ दैत्योंको सदा कायर किन्तु आज बलशाली इन्द्रादि देवताओंके साथ दुस्तर युद्ध करनेकी आज्ञा देता है — लाखों मौर्य, सैकड़ों धौम्र, करोड़ों असुर तथा कालकेय, लाखों कालक-दौर्हृद-कंक तथा अन्य समस्त दैत्य अपनी-अपनी सेनाओंसहित निर्भय एवं संशयरहित होकर निकलें — और शुम्भ-निशुम्भको आज्ञा देता है कि वे महापराक्रमी तुच्छ देवताओंको क्षणभरमें नष्ट कर दें। जलन्धरकी इस आज्ञासे युद्धविशारद वे सभी दैत्य अपनी चतुरंगिणी सेनाओंसहित युद्ध करने लगते हैं — गदा, तीक्ष्ण बाण, शूल, पट्टिश, तोमर, परशु तथा शूलसे एक-दूसरेपर प्रहार करते हैं; तथा हृषीकेशके बलसे युक्त महावीर देवता भी अपनी सेनाओंसहित अन्य नाना आयुधोंसे प्रहार करते हुए, सिंहके समान गर्जना करते तथा तीक्ष्ण बाण छोड़ते हुए युद्ध करते हैं — कोई तीक्ष्ण बाणोंसे, कोई मूसल-तोमरसे, कोई परशु-शूलसे एक-दूसरेपर प्रहार करते हैं। इस प्रकार देवताओं और दैत्योंके बीच अत्यन्त उग्र महासंग्राम होता है, जो मुनियों तथा सिद्धोंको भी भयभीत कर देता है।

"Homage to you, O Viṣṇu, as the dwarf called Upendra, O all-pervading one, who in the form of a Brāhmaṇa beguiled Bali, the lord of demons."
NoteThe Devanāgarī reads उप्रेन्द्राख्याय ("named Uprendra") rather than the expected sandhi form उपेन्द्राख्याय ("named Upendra"); this carries an extra र in transmission and is understood as उपेन्द्र (Upendra, an epithet of Viṣṇu/Vāmana), so the reading is followed as attested and rendered by its intended sense rather than silently corrected.
वामनाय नमस्तुभ्यम् (vāmanāya namastubhyam) — "homage to you as the dwarf,उप्रेन्द्राख्याय विष्णवे (uprendrākhyāya viṣṇave) — O Viṣṇu called Upendra,विप्ररूपेण दैत्येन्द्रं (viprarūpeṇa daityendraṃ) — who, in the form of a Brāhmaṇa, the lord of demons,बलिं छलयते विभो (baliṃ chalayate vibho) — Bali, beguiled, O all-pervading one"

नानायुधैः परैस्तत्र (nānāyudhaiḥ paraistatra) — "there, with other manifold weapons,निजघ्नुस्ते बलान्विताः (nijaghnuste balānvitāḥ) — those endowed with strength struck one another;देवास्तथा महावीरा (devāstathā mahāvīrā) — so too the gods, great heroes,हृषीकेशबलान्विताः युयुधुस्तीक्ष्णबाणाश्च क्षिपन्तः सिंहवद्रवाः (hṛṣīkeśabalānvitāḥ yuyudhustīkṣṇabāṇāśca kṣipantaḥ siṃhavadravāḥ) — endowed with Hṛṣīkeśa's strength, fought, loosing sharp arrows and roaring like lions"
४३ केचिद्बाणैः सुतीक्ष्णैश्च केचिन्मुसलतोमरैः । केचित्परशुशूलैश्च निजघ्नुस्ते परस्परम् ॥ ४३
kecidbāṇaiḥ sutīkṣṇaiśca kecinmusalatomaraiḥ | kecitparaśuśūlaiśca nijaghnuste parasparam 43 ||
कोई अत्यन्त तीक्ष्ण बाणोंसे, कोई मूसल तथा तोमरोंसे, तो कोई परशु तथा शूलसे एक-दूसरेपर प्रहार करने लगे।
Some with very sharp arrows, some with clubs and lances, some with axes and tridents, they struck one another down.
केचिद्बाणैः सुतीक्ष्णैश्च (kecidbāṇaiḥ sutīkṣṇaiśca) — "some with very sharp arrows,केचिन्मुसलतोमरैः (kecinmusalatomaraiḥ) — some with clubs and lances,केचित्परशुशूलैश्च (kecitparaśuśūlaiśca) — some with axes and tridents,निजघ्नुस्ते परस्परम् (nijaghnuste parasparam) — they struck one another down"
४४ इत्थं सुराणां दैत्यानां सङ्ग्रामः समभून्महान् । अत्युल्बणो मुनीनां हि सिद्धानां भयकारकः ॥ ४४
itthaṃ surāṇāṃ daityānāṃ saṅgrāmaḥ samabhūnmahān | atyulbaṇo munīnāṃ hi siddhānāṃ bhayakārakaḥ 44 ||
इस प्रकार देवताओं और दैत्योंके बीच अत्यन्त उग्र महासंग्राम छिड़ गया, जो मुनियों तथा सिद्धोंको भी भयभीत कर देनेवाला था।
Thus a great battle broke out between the gods and the demons, exceedingly fierce, striking fear even into sages and siddhas.
