Chapter Fourteen
Impregnation of Diti
|| 3.14.1 ||
śrī-śuka uvāca
niśamya kauṣāraviṇopavarṇitāṁ
hareḥ kathāṁ kāraṇa-sūkarātmanaḥ
punaḥ sa papraccha tam udyatāñjalir
na cātitṛpto viduro dhṛta-vrataḥ
Śukadeva said: Vidura, strong in his vows, after hearing the story of the Lord as Varāha described by Maitreya, again inquired from Maitreya with folded hands, not being fully satisfied.
The Fourteenth Chapter describes how Diti approached her husband who was not inclined in the evening. She then repented. Evil sons and a pious grandchild were born. The word ca means “certainly.”
|| 3.14.2 ||
vidura uvāca
tenaiva tu muni-śreṣṭha
hariṇā yajña-mūrtinā
ādi-daityo hiraṇyākṣo
hata ity anuśuśruma
Vidura said: O best of the sages! We have heard that Hiranyāksa, the original demon, was killed by Varāha, the form of sacrifice.
It should be understood that in Svāyambhuva-manvantara Varāha lifted the earth, and in Cākṣuṣa-manvantara Varāha killed Hiraṇyakṣa.
|| 3.14.3 ||
tasya coddharataḥ kṣauṇīṁ
sva-daṁṣṭrāgreṇa līlayā
daitya-rājasya ca brahman
kasmād dhetor abhūn mṛdhaḥ
O brāhmaṇa! What was the reason for a battle between the king of the demons and Varāha, who easily lifted the earth using his tusks?
Mṛdhaḥ means a battle.
|| 3.14.4 ||
śraddadhānāya bhaktāya
brūhi taj-janma-vistaram
ṛṣe na tṛpyati manaḥ
paraṁ kautūhalaṁ hi me
O sage! Please speak to this faithful devotee the details of the Lord’s birth as Varāha. My mind, being very inquisitive, is not satisfied.
|| 3.14.5||
maitreya uvāca
sādhu vīra tvayā pṛṣṭam
avatāra-kathāṁ hareḥ
yat tvaṁ pṛcchasi martyānāṁ
mṛtyu-pāśa-viśātanīm
Maitreya said: O warrior! You have inquired well about the story of the appearance of the Lord. What you ask is the cause of freedom from the rope of death for all human beings.
Asking with a desire to hear about the pastime of the Lord’s fighting is very good, because through that question you are asking about Varāha and Nṛsiṁha. In explaining about these avatāras while describing the Lord’s fighting, you make others successful through remembering the avatāras.
