Mahapuraanam
Who should be honored, then, by one who has already seen his prowess and who has accomplished even the most difficult tasks? What to speak of him? ||43||
When, in the future, this Lakshmi will be fit for your enjoyment without a chakra and without jewels, then your Devi Siddhi will be from Jayakumar, just as your human Siddhi will be from the rise of virtuous deeds. ||44||
How can the Nath dynasty and the Soma dynasty, who are like the very arms of the goddess of fortune, be worthy of destruction, when even a man as insignificant as a blade of grass should be protected? This is your policy. ||45||
By destroying these brothers, who are like your servants, even the Chakravarti will be more angry with you, and this unrighteousness, which will last until the end of the age, will be considered to have been instigated by you. ||46||
Do not start the desire for another's wife in vain, for it is certain that this girl, even if forcibly taken, will not be yours. ||47||
The fame of Jayakumar, along with his prowess, will always be like the day, and your tainted infamy will always be like the night. ||48||
Do not think that all these kings will help you in battle, for there are many kings who are partial to them. ||49||
You have attained the three Purusharthas, Dharma, Artha, and Kama, which are very difficult for men to obtain, so why are you destroying them in vain by violating the path of righteousness? ||50||
Just as Jayakumar was the commander of the Chakravarti before, so now he is the commander of Akampan. Why are you putting Veerlakshmi on the scales in vain? Meaning: Why are you putting Veerlakshmi in doubt? ||51||
Certainly, the daughter of one of your brothers has been given to your other brother in a righteous manner. What disgrace have you suffered in such a festival? Yes, your intolerance is the only disgrace. Meaning: Just as Jayakumar is your brother because he is beneficial, so is Akampan your brother. The daughter of one brother has been given to another brother in a righteous manner. What insult have you suffered in this? Yes, if you cannot tolerate this, then it is your insult. ||52||
Besides Sulochana, there are many other daughters of kings. I will bring all those daughters, adorned with jewels, here for you today. ||53||
