Lakshmi Intervenes in the Fight between Vishnu and Jalandhara





Narada said:

l-3a. Then Jalandhara who was angry, spoke to (Indra), the killer of the demon: “O you of a mean power, where will you go after killing Bala through trickery?” Speaking thus to Indra, that brave son of the Ocean, cut off, with arrows, his chariot along with the charioteer, horses and flag. Indra, wounded by the arrows, fell after fainting on (i.e. in) his chariot.

3b-9. Seeing that Indra had fallen down, the Ocean’s son roared. Giving up his swoon (i.e. regaining consciousness), Indra discharged his thunderbolt against Jalandhara. Then holding a piece of a mountain the Ocean’s son held the thunderbolt at his side and quickly getting down his chariot, ran to Indra with a desire to seize him in the battle. Then, Indra, abandoning the chariot and remembering Vishuu, ran away. The arrogant son of the Ocean got into Indra’s chariot, and making Matalin the charioteer, went with his desire fulfilled. That mighty-armed Jalandhara went quickly like a cloud after getting into Indra’s chariot (as he liked). Then, Vishshu through anger raised his sword (called) Nandaka in the battle, and inciting Garuda, having mind’s speed, struck the army of the demons angrily. He, with force, knocked down chariots, horses, elephants and foot-soldiers in thousands.

10-12. Visflu, surrounded (i.e. accompanied) by KaSyapa’s son performed a fierce feat in the battle. (The battlefield had become) a river, which carried hair, bones, marrow and stream of blood, which was resorted to by goblins, vampires and birds, which was filled with hands, thighs, shanks, missiles and weapons, which was very difficult to cross, which was resorted to by tigers and lordly elephants, which was adorned with blood, entrails, necklaces and armlets. Seeing the army which blocked the beautiful festival to the the rolling eyes, struck by Vishuu, all the excellent demons, obstructed Vishnu on all sides at the order of Jalandhara.

13-15. There those demons showered volleys of arrows, as clouds shower (water), as bees shower (i.e. moisten) a lotus, as the clouds shower a mountain (with water), or as hosts of birds shower (i.e. moisten) a mango-tree, or as a mass of incense showers (i.e. fills) the sky. In that danger of the battle, Vishtiu was not visible, so also Garutfa was not visible. All those great demons who had got into their chariots, roaring with fearful sounds, struck Vishnu with all weapons.

16-20. The angry enemy of the demons (i.e. Vishflu), with a fierce form, knocked down all of them in the war as wind knocks down a mass of leaves. Then the demon Sailaroman, angrily ran to Vishflu. Even the arrows of Vishflu were shattered on (i.e. after striking) his body. Sailaroman also struck with arrows the body of Vishshu who taking out his sword cut off his head. When the demon’s head was cut off, his trunk, walking on the battlefield seized Garuda by his wings with his hands. His head too quickly jumped and stuck fast to his shoulders. Then" seeing the fighting of his face even Visiju was amazed.

21-25a. Seeing the head stuck (to the shoulders), Garuda fell down on the ground. Again speedily flying, he resorted to the place of the head. Then the powerful

3ailaroman snatched off Vishnu from Garuda. Vishriu struck him with the palm of his hand; and he fell dead on the ground. Then Jalandhara said to Khadgaroman, his charioteer: “Drive the chariot there, where god Vishriu is.” By the words (i.e. the order) of Jalandhara, Khadgaroman took the chariot (to that spot). Seeing that Vishnu in front of him, the Ocean’s son said: “O Vishnu, kill me fearlessly. I shall not kill you, О Madhava.”

25b-29. Hearing those words of him, Vishriu, with his eyes red due to anger, filled (i.e. covered) him with fatal arrows. The Ocean’s brave son, with his body pierced by Visshu, continuously covered Vishnu with streams (i.e. volleys) of arrows. Garuda, pierced by his hundreds of arrows, fell unconscious. Seeing Garuda fallen on the ground (after being struck) by the arrows of the Ocean’s son, Vishnu was reminded of his chariot that stood in Vaikuntha. That chariot, without a charioteer, (but) surrounded by horses, came to him. Seeing that chariot yoked with horses on the battlefield the lord was amazed.

30-34. Having brought Garuda to consciousness, he appointed him as its driver. That Vishnu, putting the crown on his head, the Kaustubha gem on his chest, and prompting the horses to exert, went up to Jalandhara. With (other) gods, he tore the earth with the chariot’s wheel(s); he quickly struck the army of the demons with (his) arrows. Ordered by the lord of gods, Fire burnt the demon’s army (as he was) aided by Wind. At that time, the lord, along with the gods, destroyed the army of the demons. Seeing his army of which a small portion was left, Jalandhara thought, and then (he) the king said to Shukra:

35-39. “When (even) you, well-versed in incantations, were there, the gods destroyed my army. You are well-known for your lore. О brahmana, what is the use of the lore which does not protect those who are afflicted with diseases, and what is the use of that kshatra power which does not protest those seek­ing refuge?” Hearing the words of Jalandhara, i?ukra said to him: “О king, (now) see the power of me, a brahmaria.” Saying so, he touched them with water (i.e. sprinkled water over them, and) roused them with the ‘hum’ sound. They were (thus) roused by Shukra. The Ocean’s son struck the gods with fatal arrows, and they fell in the battle all around. О king, with their bodies shattered by arrows, they sustained their life. They, pierced by arrows, did not die because of their immortality, О best one.

40-45a. Then god Vishnu said to Brihaspati: “O preceptor of gods, fie upon the power of you who are not bringing the gods back to life.” Brihaspati then immediately said to the lord of the world (i.e. Vishnu): “O lord, by means of the herbs I shall bring the gods back to life.” Speaking like this, Brihaspati too went to the mountain Drona, lying in the ocean; and comfort­ably taking the herbs (from the mountain), Brihaspati, by using them, brought the gods back to life. Then the gods who rose, killed the army of the demons. Seeing the gods to have risen, the Ocean’s son (Jalandhara) said to Shukra: “O Shukra, how did they get up without your lore?” Hearing these words spoken by the demon, Shukra said to the Ocean’s son:

45b-48a. “There is a great mountain named Drojia, that lies in the ocean. There are herbs there, which bring the dead back to life. The preceptor of gods (Brihaspati), having gone there, and having taken the herbs (from there), rouses, with an incantation, the gods killed in the battle.” Hearing what Shukra said, Jalandhara, having entrusted the responsibility of his army to Sumbha, went to the Ocean.

48b-54. Having gone into the Ocean of Milk, he entered a divine, very bright house and saw there the pleasure-chamber of the Ocean of Milk. In it neither hot nor cold breezes (blew). Darkness was not noticed there. There excellent females, rich with the burden of breasts, having slim bellies and good teeth, sang, danced and sported. The sportive females served there by casting amorous glances, moving to and fro, with fascinating bodies, by means of lovely movements of their creeper-like arms, and the sounds of their steps, with sweet words and eulogies, by giving the pleasure of fragrance, with the hummings of the bees in the form of their eyes, by sportively moving the chowries, with garlands, and smiling glances. Having gone there the Ocean’s son who was eager to fight and seeing the Ocean of Milk sporting there, saluted the Ocean of Milk, and said to him: “O uncle, you are killing me. With the water inundate (Brihaspati) under the pretext of the herbs from the Drona mountain.”

The Ocean of Milk said:

55-61. О son, how shall I inundate with my waves him who has sought my refuge? The best sages do not praise him who abandons him who has sought his refuge.

Hearing the words of his paternal uncle, the king of the demons continuously, angrily, struk the (Drona) mountain with the soles of his feet. Then, О king, mountain Drona who was very much afraid of Jalandhara, came, in his (original) form to Jalandhara, and said to him: “I have become your servant. Protect me who have sought your refuge. О you of great arms, by your order I shall (even) go to lower region. I shall stay (there) till you rule the kingdom.” Accompanied by the cry of the herbs and the weeping of the siddhas, the (Drona) mountain went to the lower region, (even) when the Ocean’s son was observing. Then the hero Jalandhara came to the great battle­field. Having got into the chariot already made ready, he went to Vishnu. The son of the River (i.e. Jalandhara) seeing Vishriu seated in the chariot, laughed loudly. (He said to him:)

62-69. “Wait in your chariot till I kill (other) enemies.” Speaking like this, he quickly struck the army of gods. The gods rent by (his) arrows, said to Brihaspati: “Protect (us).” Then Brihaspati quickly went to the Ocean of Milk. О king, not see­ing (the mountain) Drona (there) he became very anxious. Then Brihaspati, having quickly come (back) to the battlefield, said to the gods: “Ogods, all of you run away. The Dropa moun­tain has perished.” Of Brihaspati who was speaking like this, the Ocean’s son, laughing at the gods, cut off the sacred thread and hair with sharp arrows. Then Brihaspati afflicted through fear to his life speedily ran away. О king, all gods (also) leaving the battlefield, fled. Having thus made the gods flee, he ran to Vishnu. Vishnu also, eager to fight, ran to the lord of demons.

Then a fierce battle took place between Visgu and Jalandhara. Dreadful by means of his volleys of arrows he overcame Vishnu.

70-74. Cutting to pieces those arrows and filling (i.e. cover­ing) him with arrows, mighty Vishnu, harassed the demon Jaland­hara with arrows. Jalandhara, with his body injured by the arrows, abandoned his chariot, and quickly ran to Vishnu stand­ing in the battle to vanquish him. Seeing him coming, Vishnu pierced him with arrows. He bore the arrows of Vishuu on his body and came near his chariot. Whirling repeatedly Garuda with one hand and Vishnu’s chariot with the other (hand), he dropped them on the Sveta-dvipa. Garuda, thrown from Jalandhara’s hand, also fell down. For a long time he took rest in Kraunca-dvipa only. Vishoii, freeing himself from the whirling chariot, came to the battlefield, and said to the lord of demons: “Wait, wait.”

75-78. The Ocean’s son who liked fighting, seeing Vishnu who had again come to the battlefield, covered the ground with arrows and roared. Vishuu quickly pierced the demon on his chest with a (missile called) sakti that was throbbing. He (then) fell down. His son (then) took him from the battlefield to his residence, and said to him: “Oh, who has made me void of shame?” Then a great fight between (Vishnu) the enemy of the demons and Jalandhara, standing on the ground, took place there. Visflu did not kill the demon out of his love for Lakshmi; (but) himself fell down (struck) by his arrows.

79-83. Then seeing Vishnu fallen on the ground, the Ocean’s son, took him and got into his own chariot. Then Lakshmi, dear to Vishriu, came weeping to him. Lakshmi stood there. Seeing her husband, having eyes like lotuses, fallen, Lakshml said to the Ocean’s son:“0 brother, listen to (my) words. You have vanquished and held Vishiju. О you of great power, it is not proper for you to bestow widowhood on your sister.” Hearing her words, he released the lord of the world (i.e. Visiju). (Then) Jalandhara, of mighty arms, devoutly saluted his sister (i.e. Lakshmi). Then he quickly saluted Vishrm’s feet through his love for his sister. Vishflu said to Jalandhara: “I am pleased with your act. О lord of demons, ask for a boon. Which boon shall I grant to you?”

Jalandhar a said:

84-86. О Vishnu, if you are pleased with this (act of) valour of me, then you should stay with Lakshmi, at my father’s abode.

Saying, ‘All right’, the lord of the earth, remembered (i.e. thought of) Garuda (and on his arrival) mounted upon him and (went) to the Ocean of Milk with his wife (Lakshmi). Since then Krishna (i.e. Vishnu) lives in his father-in-law’s house. The lord of the gods desiring to do what is dear to Lakshmi, lives in the ocean.
