इच्छा हो सो करें परन्तु अब मैं यमपना अर्थात् यम नामा लोकपालका कार्य नहीं करूँगा ।।४८४।। विशाल तेजको धारण करनेवाले जिस योधाने पहले युद्ध में वैश्रवणको जीता था उसी योद्धा दशाननने मुझे भी पराजित किया है। यद्यपि मैं चिरकाल तक उसके साथ युद्ध करता रहा पर स्थिर नहीं रह सका ॥४८५।। उस महात्माका शरीर ऐसा जान पड़ता है मानो वीर रससे ही बना हो। वह आकाशके मध्यमें स्थित ग्रीष्मकालीन सूर्यके समान दुनिरीक्ष्य है अर्थात् उसकी ओर कोई आँख उठाकर भी नहीं देख सकता है ।।४८६।। यह सुनकर इन्द्र युद्धके लिए उद्यत हुआ परन्तु नीतिको यथार्थताको जाननेवाले मन्त्रिमण्डलने उसे रोक दिया ॥४८७॥ इन्द्र, यमका जामाता था सो यमकी बात सुन मन्द हास्य करते हुए उसने कहा कि हे मातुल! दशानन कहाँ जायेगा ? तुम भयको छोड़ो और निश्चिन्त होकर इस आसनपर सुखसे बैठो ॥४८८॥ इस प्रकार जामाताके वचनसे शत्रुका भय छोड़कर यम इन्द्रके द्वारा बतलाये हुए नगरमें सुखसे रहने लगा ॥४८९॥ बहत भारी गर्वको धारण करनेवाला इन्द्र यमका सन्मानकर अन्तःपरमें चला गया और वहाँ जाकर कामभोगरूपी समुद्र में निमग्न हो गया ॥४९०॥ यमने दशाननका जो चरित्र इन्द्रके लिए कहा था तथा युद्ध में दशाननसे पराजित होकर वैश्रवणको जो वनवास करना पड़ा था, ऐश्वर्यके मदमें मस्त रहनेवाले इन्द्रके लिए वह सब क्षण-भरमें उस प्रकार विस्मृत हो गया जिस प्रकार कि पहले पढ़ा शास्त्र अभ्यास न करनेपर विस्मृत हो जाता है ।।४९१-४९२॥ स्वप्नमें उपलब्ध वस्तुका कुछ तो भी स्मरण रहता है परन्तु इन्द्रके लिए पूर्व कथित बातका निर्मूल विस्मरण हो गया ॥४९३।। इधर इन्द्रका यह हाल हुआ उधर यम सुरसंगीत नामा नगरका स्वामित्व पाकर दशाननसे प्राप्त हुए तिरस्कारको बिलकुल भूल गया ।।४९४।। वह मानता था कि मेरी पुत्री सर्वश्री अत्यन्त रूपवती है और इन्द्रको प्राणोंसे भी अधिक प्रिय है ।।४९५॥ इस प्रकार एक बड़े पुरुषके साथ मेरा अन्तरंग सम्बन्ध है इसलिए इन्द्रका सम्मान पाकर मेरा जन्म कृतकृत्य अर्थात् सफल हुआ है ॥४९६।।
तदनन्तर महान् अभ्युदय और उत्साहको धारण करनेवाले दशाननने यमको हटाकर किष्किन्ध नामा नगर सूर्यरजके लिए दिया ॥४९७॥ और ऋक्षरजके लिए परम सम्पत्तिको १. दुरीक्षो म.।

## The Eighth Chapter

203

The valiant Dashaanan, who had defeated Vaishravana in battle, had also defeated me, and I was defeated for a long time. ||485||

His body, like that of a valiant warrior, was made of pure valor. He was like the sun in the middle of the sky, impossible to look at. ||486||

Hearing this, the king of the gods, Indra, was ready for battle, but he was stopped by his council of ministers, who knew the truth of the matter. ||487||

Hearing this, Indra, smiling, said to Yama, his brother-in-law, "Where will Dashaanan go? Don't be afraid, be at ease and sit comfortably on this seat." ||488||

Thus, reassured by his brother-in-law's words, Yama, free from fear of his enemy, lived happily in the city designated by Indra. ||489||

Honoring Yama, Indra went to his inner palace, where he was immersed in the ocean of sensual pleasures. ||490||

Yama had told Indra about Dashaanan's character, and how Vaishravana had been exiled to the forest after being defeated by Dashaanan in battle. All this was forgotten by Indra, who was intoxicated by his power, just as a learned scripture is forgotten when it is not studied. ||491-492||

Even a dream-like experience leaves some trace in the memory, but Indra had completely forgotten what had been told to him earlier. ||493||

Meanwhile, Yama, having become the lord of the city called "Surasangeet," completely forgot the humiliation he had suffered at the hands of Dashaanan. ||494||

He thought, "My daughter, Sarvasri, is extremely beautiful and even more dear to Indra than his own life." ||495||

"My relationship with this great man is very close. Therefore, my birth has been fulfilled by receiving Indra's respect." ||496||

Then, Dashaanan, full of great prosperity and enthusiasm, gave the city of Kishkindha to Suryaraja, replacing Yama. ||497||

And he gave the city of Kishkupura, a place of great wealth, to Riksharaja. Yama, having come to this city in accordance with his lineage, lived happily there. ||498||

I wish to do so, but I will no longer be Yama, the guardian of the realm. ||484||
