मया च सार्धं वरदं विबुधैश्च महर्षिभिः । प्रसादयाशु लोकानां शान्तिर्भवतु माचिरम् ॥
English Translation
Eternal as you are, for you have ever existed since all the past creations, you too have originated from His anger. With myself then, these gods, and all the great Rishis, do you worship this displayed form of Brahma and let peace be to all the worlds forthwith!
ब्रह्मणा त्वेवमुक्तस्तु रुद्रः क्रोधाग्निमुत्सृजन् । प्रसादयामास ततो देवं नारायणं प्रभुम् । शरणं च जगामाद्यं वरेण्यं वरदं हरिम् ॥
English Translation
Thus addressed by Brahman, Rudra iminediately renounced the fire of his anger and began to please the illustrious and powerful Narayana. Indeed, he soon placed himself at the disposal of the worshipful, boongiving, and powerful Narayana.
ततोऽथ वरदो देवो जितक्रोधो जितेन्द्रियः । प्रीतिमानभवत्तत्र रुद्रेण सह संगतः ॥
English Translation
That boon-giving god who has his anger and the senses under control, became soon pleased and reconciled with Rudra.

Well-worshipped by the Rishis, by Brahmana, and by all the gods the great God, the Lord of the universe, otherwise called by the name of Hari, then addressed the illustrious
यस्त्वां वेत्ति स मां वेत्ति यस्त्वामनु स मामनु । नावयोरन्तरं किंचिन्मा ते भूद्बुद्धिरन्यथा ॥
English Translation
He who knows you knows me. He who follows you follows me! There is no difference between you and me. Do you never think otherwise.
अद्य प्रभृति श्रीवत्सः शूलाङ्कोऽयं भवत्वयम् । मम पाण्यङ्कितश्चापि श्रीकण्ठस्त्वं भविष्यसि ॥
English Translation
The mark made by your lance on my chest will from this day put on the form of a beautiful whirl, and the mark of my hand on your throat will also assume a beautiful shape on account of which you shall, from this day forth, be called by the name of Shreekantha.
एवं लक्षणमुत्पाद्य परस्परकृतं तदा । सख्यं चैवातुलं कृत्वा रुद्रेण सहितावृषी । तपस्तेपतुरव्यग्रौ विसृज्य त्रिदिवौकसः ॥
English Translation
Having mutually caused such marks on each other's body, the two Rishis Nara and Narayana thus made friends with Rudra and sending away the gods, once more began to practise penances with a tranquil souls. I have thus told you, O son of Pritha, how in that battle which occurred in days of yore between Rudra and Narayana, the latter got the victory.
एष ते कथितः पार्थ नारायणजयो मृधे । नामानि चैव गुह्यानि निरुक्तानि च भारत । ऋषिभिः कथितानीह यानि संकीर्तितानि ते ॥
English Translation
I have told you the many secret names by which Narayana is called, and what the meanings, O Bharata, are of those names, which, as I have told you the Rishis have bestowed upon the great God.

In this way, O son of Kunti, assuming various forms do I rove at will, through the Earth, the region of Brahman himself, and that other high and eternal region of happiness called Goloka. Protected by me in the great battle, you have acquired a great victory.
यस्तु ते सोऽग्रतो याति युद्धे संप्रत्युपस्थिते । तं विद्धि रुद्रं कौन्तेय देवदेवं कपर्दिनम् ॥
English Translation
That Being whom, at the time of all your battles, you saw stalking in your van, know, O son of Kunti, is no other than Rudra, that god of gods, otherwise called by the name of Kaparddin.
कालः स एव कथितः क्रोधजेति मया तव । निहतांस्तेन वै पूर्वं हतवानसि वै रिपून् ॥
English Translation
He is otherwise known by the name of Kala and should be known as one that has originated from my anger. The enemies whom you have killed were all, in the first instance, killed by him.
