M. N. Dutt: I have thus explained to you today, O you of a hundred sacrifices, the reason, O Shakra, of kine living in a place that is high above that of the celestials. Kine got many excellent forms, O Vasava, and are themselves givers of boons. They are called Surabhis. Of sacred deeds and gifted with many auspicious marks they are highly purifying. Listen to me also, O destroyer of Bala, as I tell you in full the reason why kine, the children of Surabhi, have descended on the Earth, O best of the celestials. Formerly , O son, when in the golden age the great Danavas became lords of the three worlds, Aditi performed the severest austerities and got Vishnu within her womb. Indeed, O chief of the celestials, she had stood upon one leg for many long years, desirous of having a son. Seeing the great goddess Aditi thus practising the severest austerities, the daughter of Daksha, viz., the illustrious Surabhi, herself given to virtue likewise practised very severe austerities upon the breast of the charming mountains of Kailasa that are resorted to by both the celestials and the Gandharvas. Established on the highest Yoga, she also stood upon the leg for eleven thousand years. The celestials with the Rishis and the great Nagas all became scorched with the severity of her penances. Going there with me, all of them began of worship that auspicious goddess. I then addressed that goddess gifted with penances, and said, O goddess, O you of faultless conduct, for what purpose do you practise such severe austerities, O highlyblessed one, I am pleased with your penances, O beautiful one! Do you, O goddess, beg what boon you wish to have. I shall grant you whatever, you may ask! These were my words to her, O Purandara. Thus addressed by me, Surabhi answered me, saying, I have no need O grandfather of boons. O sinless one, that you have been pleased with me is a great boon to me. To the illustrious Surabhi, O chief of the celestials, who said so to me, O lord of Sachi, I answered thus, O goddess, I have been highly pleased with this your freedom from cupidity and desire, and with these penances of yours, O you of beautiful face. I therefore, grant you the boon of immortality. |
