rājā cāpy anvatapyata
O King Parīkṣit! When all the inhabitants of Ayodhyā saw that their boys had come back to life, they were astounded, and King Sagara lamented the absence of his son.
|| 9.8.19 ||
aṁśumāṁś codito rājñā
turagānveṣaṇe yayau
pitṛvya-khātānupathaṁ
bhasmānti dadṛśe hayam
Thereafter, Aṁśumān, ordered by the King to search for the horse, followed the same path dug up by his uncles. He saw the horse near pile of ashes.
Aṁśumān was the son of Asamañjasa. He went on the path dug up by his ancestors. He saw the horse near (anti) the ashes.
|| 9.8.20 ||
tatrāsīnaṁ muniṁ vīkṣya
kapilākhyam adhokṣajam
astaut samāhita-manāḥ
prāñjaliḥ praṇato mahān
The great Aṁśumān, seeing the sage Kapila, Viṣṇu himself, offered respects with folded hands and recited prayers with attention.
|| 9.8.21 ||
aṁśumān uvāca
na paśyati tvāṁ param ātmano 'jano
na budhyate 'dyāpi samādhi-yuktibhiḥ
kuto 'pare tasya manaḥ-śarīra-dhī-
visarga-sṛṣṭā vayam aprakāśāḥ
Aṁśumān said: Even Lord Brahmā is to this very day unable to see you , who are superior to the jīva, and cannot know you by meditation or by logic. So what to speak of others like us, who have been created by Brahmā’s mind, body and intelligence, and who are ignorant.
It is not surprising that the offending sons of Sagara were burned, because they did not know who you were. Even Brahmā (ajanaḥ) does not see you, who are superior to the jīva (ātmanaḥ) cannot see you or know you. How can we, who are more inexperienced, who are created as devatās and others, by Brahmā’s mind, body and intelligence, and are ignorant (aprakāśāḥ), know you?
|| 9.8.22 ||
ye deha-bhājas tri-guṇa-pradhānā
guṇān vipaśyanty uta vā tamaś ca
yan-māyayā mohita-cetasas tvāṁ
