The Story of Surasundarī 7

English (machine translation) 7

Language: English

7.1

Now, united with the god Candrārjuna due to past connection,
impassioned with deep affection, she enjoyed the pleasures of the celestial realm.

7.2

For goddess Candraprabhā, experiencing divine pleasure
together with that best of gods in the celestial realm, much time passed.

7.3

Then, one day, having seen her beloved lose his lustre,
that goddess, stricken with fear, spoke thus to that god:

7.4

"My lord, why do you appear apprehensive, as though overcome by discontent?
Likewise, my beloved, why is your body bereft of brilliance and miserable now?

7.5

Why do the gathered flowers bound upon your head wither suddenly?
Why have your garments, my lord, become dark in colour now?

7.6

Why does your gaze tremble, and your desire for lovemaking slacken now?
And why do you repeatedly twist your limbs, god? Tell me!"

7.7

Then the god Candrārjuna, thus questioned by his beloved, spoke:
"Do you not know, fair one, since you ask me this?

7.8

At the time of a god's fall, these signs arise, O woman of lovely limbs!
Therefore, the time of my fall has now approached."

7.9

Having heard this speech of the god so very dear to her,
the goddess, seized with intense grief, suffered hell-like sorrow.

7.10

Then, one day, while she was looking on,
that god became invisible, like a lamp blown out by a fierce wind.

7.11

Seeing that the god had fallen, goddess Candraprabhā, exceedingly distressed by grief,
upon recovering from fainting, began to lament piteously thus:

7.12

"Alas, lord, beloved of my life! Leaving me, where have you gone, god?
Bereft of you, my master, to what refuge do I resort?

7.13

Not even for a fraction of an instant could I abide without you, lord!
Having abandoned me now, where have you gone, O delight of my eyes?

7.14

You alone were my refuge, you my master, my life, O god!
Abandoned by you, my master, tell me, where do I go now?

7.15

Alas, where have you gone, beloved, abandoning me here without a protector?
Who is my refuge now, my master, when I have been forsaken by you?

7.16

This very realm of the gods, adorned with thousands of gods and delightful,
now, bereft of you, appears to me like hell.

7.17

This very celestial vehicle, delightful, inlaid with gems, gold, and jewels,
left behind by you, lord, looks like a slaughterhouse!

7.18

Even this host of servants, flattering and eager to show reverence,
appears like Paramādhārmika demons, lord, in your absence.

7.19

The delightful garden, radiant with puṁnāga, nāga, campaka, namēru, and mandāra trees,
in your absence appears like the forest of sword-leaves.

7.20

The delightful, excellent bathing pools, filled with clear water,
in your absence appear equal to the Vaitaraṇī river.

7.21

Blessed are those mortal women who follow their dead husband [in death]!
In this divine state of existence, whence could such a thing be mine?"

7.22

Lamenting in this and other ways, that goddess struck her limbs
with her own hands, exceedingly afflicted with grief, weeping with a piteous cry.

7.23

She fainted repeatedly and fell to the ground without support;
having regained consciousness, she spoke thus once more:

7.24

"Alas, lord, why do you not look upon me lamenting, so that you give no reply?
Or are you angered, beloved? What offence have I committed against you?

7.25

When I was angry in lover's quarrels, master, you made thousands of sweet entreaties to me;
why do you now abandon me without cause while I lament?

7.26

Alas, lord, do you not know: 'She is bewildered by exceedingly deep love;
how will she endure separation from me?' that you have abandoned me without cause?"

7.27

Thus weeping in manifold ways in separation from her beloved,
she became like an uprooted lotus-plant, the lotus of her face drained of lustre.

7.28

Seeing that goddess overwhelmed by intense sorrow and heavy grief,
her constant companion Svayamprabhā spoke thus:

7.29

"Though you know the words of the Jina and have heard the nature of saṃsāra,
dear friend, why do you lament thus in manifold ways like an ordinary woman?

7.30

Dear friend, there is indeed no benefit in lamenting even at length;
so what is the use of bewildered weeping, which is like the suckling of a goat's dewlap?

7.31

Even if you lament a hundred times, beat your body, and make great sorrow,
still your beloved does not return, who has been taken by the agent of Death.

7.32

Therefore, knowing this, loosen your attachment, abandon heavy grief,
and strive in the Dharma of the Jina, which pacifies such suffering.

7.33

That [Dharma] in the form of austerity and restraint does not exist for one dwelling in a divine birth;
therefore, fair one, make an effort for the purification of right faith!

7.34

Having gone to the Videha realms, pay homage to the Jinas who are the kinsmen of the three worlds,
to the omniscient ones, and likewise to the steadfast monks zealous in the practice of restraint!"

7.35

"Go with supreme devotion and bow to the eternal images of the Jinas / that are situated in the Jina temples on the boundary mountains and island mountains.

7.36

Endowed thus with pure right belief, having attained human birth, / having received initiation from the best of Jinas, with karma destroyed, you will go to perfection.

7.37

Having gone there, you will never suffer such sorrows; / you will be rid of old age, death, disease, and grief for all time."

7.38

Addressed thus by Svayamprabhā, the goddess Candraprabhā / abandoned grief for her beloved and came here into the world.

7.39

Accompanied by Svayamprabhā, having bowed to the images of the supreme Jinas / in Nandīśvara, she then came here to Bharata.

7.40

And there, in the city of Rājagṛha, in an excellent outer park, she saw [a sage] / whose feet were served by a host of ascetics, attended by gods, asuras, and humans,

7.41

expounding the Dharma—an omniscient one named Śubhaṅkara. Then / that goddess, accompanied by her dear friend, descended from the sky.

7.42

Having bowed to that Śubhaṅkara, who brought welfare to worthy souls, / and also to the rest of the congregation of ascetics, she sat down in a suitable place.

7.43

Then that Blessed One began to speak thus with a profound voice / to the assembly consisting of gods, humans, asuras, and others:

7.44

"Extremely hard to obtain are human birth, birth in a good family, and the Dharma of the Jina. / Having attained this, strive in every way; do not be negligent!

7.45

Like water held in the hand, this lifespan wears away moment by moment; / therefore do not be negligent regarding the Dharma of the best of Jinas!

7.46

Since life is like a drop of water resting on the tip of a blade of kuśa grass, / strive with true inner devotion, for the course of karma is exceedingly uneven.

7.47

Since negligence is the root of all suffering here in saṃsāra / across all four destinies without exception, it must therefore be abandoned.

7.48

It is the cause of birth, the reason for hundreds of miseries of disease, old age, and death; / and subject to it, living beings wander in the dreadful ocean of existence.

7.49

Therefore, abandoning negligence, with minds fixed upon it, make an excellent effort / in the Dharma of the Jina, which is a boat upon the ocean of saṃsāra!

7.50

Make effort in this Dharma, which is a true kinsman; / cleansed of all sins, you will then attain the bliss of liberation!"

7.51

Perceiving an interval in the sermon, that goddess Candraprabhā said this: / "Blessed One! Where has my beloved Candrārjuna been reborn?

7.52

How much lifespan do I have left, and where will my birth be after falling from here? / Will I ever have sight of that beloved again?"

7.53

Questioned thus by that goddess who was filled with great reverence, / the Blessed Śubhaṅkara then began to speak as follows:

7.54

"Noble lady! That beloved of yours, in this very realm of Bharata, / on the excellent Vaitāḍhya mountain, on the lovely northern ridge,

7.55

in the city of Camaracañcā, in the womb of the beloved wife / of the sky-goer named Bhānugati, has been born as a son.

7.56

Your lifespan was eight palyopamas in total, noble lady! / Now, however, a remainder of one hundred thousand years of lifespan remains.

7.57

When the hundred thousand years are completed, you too, falling [from heaven], / will be born on that same ridge, in the city of Suranandana,

7.58

as an excellent daughter named Priyaṅgumañjarī to the sky-goer Aśanivega, noble lady! / And there you will be united with your former beloved."

7.59

Then the goddess said: "How shall he be recognized by me, Blessed One? / Or how will my marriage with him take place?"

7.60

Then the omniscient one said: "Listen: during the festival of the supreme Jina, / he who rescues you from an infuriated royal elephant, noble lady,

7.61

he alone should be recognized: 'This is that former beloved of mine.' / Furthermore, your specific sighting of him will happen in this way:

7.62

At the wedding of your maternal uncle's daughter, Kanakamālā, / having assumed her form, he will come for the sake of a friend.

7.63

The one who appears there in the form of Kanakamālā, / should be recognized without doubt by you, noble Candraprabhā, as that former beloved.

7.64

And immediately after that, your marriage with him will take place; / through memory of previous births you will recall these words of mine."

7.65

Hearing the words of the omniscient one thus, O dear friend Dhāriṇī!, that goddess / became joyful in heart and bowed to the lotus feet of the omniscient one.

7.66

Then she flew up, bowed to all the eternal Jina shrines / and to all the Tīrthaṅkaras in the Mahāvidehas,

7.67

and reached her own abode, meditating in her mind on that very god; / then one day, when her lifespan was exhausted, she too fell.

7.68

This being so, she who was the noble lady Vasumatī and the goddess Candraprabhā in the realm of gods / is myself, born here under the name Priyaṅgumañjarī, O fair-limbed one!

7.69

Seeing the assembly of gods, when memory of previous births arose today, / I remembered that god who was dearer than life in heaven.

7.70

Dear friend! I long deeply for him with whom I was long acquainted; / now my mind is yearning with desire for union with him.

7.71

When will that day come on which, with a look moist with affection, / I shall gaze upon that beloved bound by the love of a previous birth?

7.72

How can he be seen by me? How will union with him come quickly? / With such thoughts, I became overwhelmed with sorrow.

7.73

While thinking of him alone, with a distracted mind, though you arrived, / dear friend, you were not noticed, and therefore I did not speak to you, noble lady!

7.74

That which you asked—'What is the cause of your sorrow?'— / O dear friend Dhāriṇī, all of that has now been told to you."

7.75

Then Dhāriṇī said: "The words of an omniscient one are never otherwise, noble lady! / So why do you grieve? This is destined to happen thus."

7.76

Laughing, I said: "'It is so'—of this there is no doubt; / only, extreme longing agitates my mind, O fair-limbed one!"

7.77

In the meantime, my beloved!, mother Campakamālā arrived / and said: "Daughter, quickly bathe, eat, and put on your finest ornaments!"

7.78

And I said: "Mother, what is the reason that mealtime / has arrived so early?" Then mother said this:

7.79

"In the park, in the Jina temple, the bathing ceremony of the first lord of the world / will take place with great splendour until sunset.

7.80

And the people residing in the city are going there to witness the bathing ceremony; / we too, accompanied by our attendants, shall go there.

7.81

For that very reason the meal was prepared at daybreak; / therefore get ready quickly so that we may go to the Jina temple."

7.82

Hearing these words of her mother, she rose at once, / finished eating and the rest, and mounted an excellent chariot.

7.83

Surrounded by my own attendants, I went to that park that is the ornament [of the city]; / and having worshipped properly in the Jina's temple, I venerated the Lord.

7.84

I watched the Jina's lustration being performed by devotion-filled Vidyādharas; / and when the lustration was nearly complete, together with my attendants, I

7.85

mounted an excellent chariot and turned toward the city, when / just then a mad elephant bolted forth from the city.

7.86

Seeing him coming straight toward us, the horses of my fine chariot took fright; / they galloped off the road, and the chariot was then smashed.

7.87

I fell to the earth, losing consciousness in a swoon. / Dearest! I do not know what happened after that.

7.88

Only that you were seen fanning me with your own upper garment. / Seeing you, a great joy arose in my heart.

7.89

Then this thought arose in my mind, dearest: / 'This is indeed that which was predicted by the omniscient one then!

7.90

He was connected [with me] in a past life, so surely he is my beloved. / My gaze takes delight in him, and my mind bears joy.

7.91

As he is seen, my very body is sprinkled, as it were, with nectar; / and he too, with blooming eyes, appears as if full of passion.

7.92

Therefore, he is definitely dearer to me than life!' While I was thinking this, / just then my nurse arrived there accompanied by my attendants.

7.93

Congratulating him, she asked leave of you, dearest, saying: / 'We must go to our own city, for it is getting late in the afternoon.'

7.94

Having spoken thus, she started off; and then I thought this: / 'Through merits I have seen my beloved; now I cannot leave him.

7.95

Releasing its gaze on his lotus-face, this eyesight of mine / cannot move away, like a weak cow mired in mud.

7.96

Moreover, when at such an auspicious moment a person's pair of eyes meets [another's], / like an elephant stuck in mud, it is exceedingly difficult to pull away.

7.97

This nurse of mine has set out, leaving behind this darling of my heart; / and out of shame I cannot say anything either.

7.98

Therefore, this is fitting for me: I shall take some ornament of his, / so that by gazing upon it, my mind will find relief.

7.99

Deprived of this beloved of my heart, having arrived at my own home, / looking at that very [ornament], I shall sustain my heart.

7.100

Moreover, having assumed the form of a woman, he will reportedly / come to the marriage of Kanakamālā; and there, indeed, I shall see him again!'

7.101

'Thus it was predicted to me then by the omniscient one; therefore, / that very ornament will serve as a token of recognition there.'

7.102

Having reflected thus, beloved, that jewel ring / was taken then from your hand, and my own ring was handed over.

7.103

Purified by the touch of my beloved's hand, having put it on with great joy, / I set off, turning my neck back, facing the city along with my attendants.

7.104

Then, drawing close to my ear, the one named Dhāriṇī whispered: / 'That single word of the omniscient one has come to pass!'

7.105

'So this is that divine soul who was formerly your beloved!' / When she spoke thus, I said with feigned anger:

7.106

"Humph, humph, you have been found out, Dhāriṇī! Get out of my sight, / since you speak such nonsensical words before us!"

7.107

"Is he not my beloved now, who was once my beloved?" / Smiling slightly, Dhāriṇī then folded her hands and said:

7.108

"Dear friend, forgive my offense; all that I said was untrue! / Just as he was before, so even now he is certainly your beloved.

7.109

Yet what true thing shall I say? If he is your beloved, why did you leave him and walk away? / So, dear friend, do not be angry; this word of mine is quite fitting!"

7.110

Engaged in many such musings and laughing words with her, / I gradually reached home, while the sun also set.

7.111

Then that Dhāriṇī narrated the whole incident, beginning with my recollection of past births, / to my mother; and hearing it, she was delighted.

7.112

She too related everything to my father, named Aśanivega; / and then, rejoiced, he spoke thus:

7.113

"I had a great worry that my daughter has come to despise men / and does not desire any suitor; how shall I bring this [marriage] about?

7.114

It is wonderful that this has happened—that she has gained recollection of past births! / It is our very good fortune: water has fallen upon the sprouting shoot!

7.115

Moreover, men have reported to me that he who freed her from the danger of the elephant / is the excellent prince named Citragati, the son of Bhānumatī.

7.116

I shall give her to him, if she has a desire for him!" / Then Campakamālā, her heart delighted, said this:

7.117

"That prince is indeed suitable for this excellent daughter of mine; / and an exceedingly great love for him has arisen in her as well.

7.118

However, listen, my lord: between this King Kanakaprabha / and King Bhānugati, there is a terrible mutual enmity

7.119

on account of Jvalanaprabha—this is well known to you! / So how will Citragati come here to take her hand in marriage?

7.120

If my daughter is sent to that very city in a svayaṃvara, / even so, dearest, there will be no joy in my heart.

7.121

For she is my only beloved daughter; so if / I do not see her wedding, then what is the use of my life?"

7.122

While my mother Campakamālā was speaking thus there, / just then my brother named Candana arrived and said:

7.123

"Why do you sit here in confidence, free from worry, father? / For this whole city has been thrown into complete turmoil!"

7.124

Then my father asked: "For what reason, son? Do you know?" / Then Candana said: "This news is indeed going round the city:

7.125

'Reportedly, when King Kanakaprabha was humiliated in the Jina's temple, / an angry Dharaṇendra carried away his magic vidyās.

7.126

Today, it is said, the magic vidyā named Rohiṇī has been mastered by Jvalanaprabha; / and out of fear of him, King Kanakaprabha has fled!

7.127

He has taken refuge with the foremost Vidyādhara, Śrī-Gandhavāhana; / and in his absence, this entire city has become utterly agitated.

7.128

Frightened by the fear of Jvalanaprabha, all the citizens are fleeing; / abandoning this city, they are going to various other cities.

7.129

And things being so, father, we too must especially flee now, / since you, father, are the chief minister of King Kanakaprabha!'"

7.130

Hearing his son's words, Asanivega then
commanded his men: “Make preparations for departure.”

7.131

Then, by means of a science, my father created an excellent aerial car,
and all our household wealth was loaded onto it by the men.

7.132

In this way, my beloved, everything was told by the woman named Dhāriṇī.
I too mounted that aerial car together with my attendants.

7.133

Then that aerial car flew up into the sky, which was dark as a sword,
and swiftly arrived at the city of Gaṅgāvarta.

7.134

It descended there at the dwelling of King Kanakaprabha,
and Gandhavāhana also showed him fitting courtesy.

7.135

While I remained thus in Gaṅgāvarta for several days,
thinking in my heart, beloved, of a means to see you:

7.136

“Ah, when shall I see him? When will my union with him take place?
When will that wedding day with Kanakamālā arrive?”

7.137

Pondering thus with many doubts day and night,
I could not get sleep even at night, my lord, in separation from you.

7.138

On another day, Amitagati, the brother of my mother Campakamālā,
arrived in that city on royal business.

7.139

Seeing Asanivega, he rejoiced and said:
“King Śrī-Gandhavāhana, with great respect,

7.140

has asked today for Kanakamālā for the sake of Nabhavāhana.
And with glad words, dear brother, I have given her to him!

7.141

The auspicious wedding-moment for her has been fixed for this upcoming fifth lunar day.
You must come there accompanied by your kinsmen.”

7.142

Then Asanivega said: “It would be fitting for us to go there of our own accord;
and now, at your word, it is especially necessary to go.

7.143

Nevertheless, listen to the reason why our going is not proper:
for King Kanakaprabha is in a dire plight.

7.144

For one thing, his sciences are severed; he has lost his kingdom and abandoned his own city.
While he is in such sorrow, how can my departure be proper?

7.145

Those who are not sorrowful when their lord is sorrowful, and do not stand as a second when he falls into misfortune,
are not servants of their master; in truth, they are known to be rogues.

7.146

Therefore, you should not insist upon this matter right now.
Your sister, however, will come on the auspicious day, even if she is distressed.”

7.147

Amitagati then said: “Send Piyaṅgumañjarī in the meantime,
for Kanakamālā stays longing for her.”

7.148

Then I was sent here with my maternal uncle by my father;
and arriving here in due course, I met Kanakamālā.

7.149

Thus, my beloved, having come here to my maternal uncle's house,
I thought: 'When will the auspicious day arrive by virtue of my merits,'

7.150

when that person, who is dearer to me than life itself, is to be seen by me?'
As I was thinking thus, this fifth day arrived.

7.151

And when, in due course, the wedding took place, and then a dramatic spectacle
was begun before Nabhavāhana, I thought:

7.152

‘Here is Kanakamālā, seated in the midst of her female companions;
but he who is dear to my heart is not seen anywhere here—so what can this mean?

7.153

Could that statement of the omniscient one be false due to my demerits?
No, no! The sun might somehow rise even in the western direction,

7.154

Mount Meru might totter, or all the oceans go to dissolution,
yet things spoken by an omniscient one never turn out otherwise in this world.

7.155

Is this then Kanakamālā, or rather he who is dear to my heart?
Showing the signet-ring, I shall make this free from doubt.’

7.156

Thinking thus, I came near you then,
and then showed my hand bearing the signet-ring.

7.157

Then, beloved, when you showed your hand bearing the ring,
the conviction quickly arose: ‘This is indeed my beloved!’

7.158

Look how he stands, completely free of fear, even after doing such a thing!
Does he not fear Prince Nabhavāhana at all?

7.159

Let me devise some means for his rescue.
Thinking thus, having deceived all those female companions,

7.160

I brought you by deceit, my lord, here to the Aśoka grove.
Everything that you asked has thus been recounted.

7.161

Moreover, beloved, even though a maiden filled with modesty can by no means
speak even a single word before the beloved of her heart,

7.162

even so, I have recounted this story of my own life in full detail,
because, by virtue of recollecting past births, you appear to me as one long familiar.”

7.163

O Cittavega! Hearing her words thus, all at once,
upon the cessation of my faint, the recollection of past births arose in me as well.

7.164

I too remembered everything of my own past life that had been recounted before.
Then she said: “Beloved, what is to be done now?”

7.165

Then I said: “Your family's house is known, O fair one!
So go home, and I too shall flee from here.

7.166

‘Kanakamālā fell into the reservoir here in the pavilion!’—
Tell this with clamour to all the people.

7.167

If this is done, no one will suspect Cittavega,
and in this way an excellent friend will be freed from Nabhavāhana.

7.168

Moreover, I have heard, O lovely one, that Jalaṇappabha has come
to the excellent city of Suranandana and regained his own kingdom.

7.169

The king has fortified that excellent city and honoured its citizens;
so, going there, I will cause your father to be summoned.

7.170

King Jalaṇappabha too will look upon him with his former regard;
and there I will marry you, permitted by our parents.

7.171

If it is done thus, beloved, everything will be praiseworthy;
acting otherwise, however, both families would be disgraced.”

7.172

Then she said: “Whatever you command me here,
all that must be done; only, my beloved, listen to my plea!

7.173

With peril to my very life, my lord, you have been reached by me today;
leaving you, I can now go nowhere.

7.174

My life lasts only as long as you dwell within range of my eyes;
deprived of the sight of you, I will immediately abandon my breaths of life.

7.175

Even when eyes blink, I consider just that much to be unbearable;
how much more then, my lord, if I must remain for many days in separation from you?

7.176

Therefore, my lord, wherever you go, I too must follow right there.
Such being the case, tell me what is to be done.”

7.177

"Moreover, if I go to my home with such hope, [thinking:]
'When he reaches his own place, my marriage will take place,' O lord!

7.178

And if here my father, even though told by King Jvalanaprabha,
does not by any means go to his own city, leaving Kanakaprabhā behind,

7.179

then what will be my fate? Even seeing you would not be possible,
let alone marriage—my heart's delight—which would remain far off!

7.180

So why say much, my beloved? I will not release you from my hand!
Command me whatever else must be done!"

7.181

O Cittavega! When she had said this, I too replied:
"If it is so, then, fair lady, quickly prepare yourself!

7.182

Before the night passes, and while the people here,
headed by Nabhavāhana, have their minds distracted by the spectacle, let us go, slender lady!"

7.183

And she said: "Here I stand ready before you, lord!"
Then I swiftly flew up into the sky together with her.

7.184

And as far as I went through space with my beloved,
just so far did she say: "A pain has arisen in my belly!

7.185

My whole body is paralyzed; a most unbearable ache strikes in my heart!
Therefore, lord, protect me! I am unable to walk now."

7.186

And then I said: "Fair lady, you have a delicate body;
you did not sleep at night, and an exceedingly cold wind is blowing.

7.187

Because of that, pain has arisen in your belly; so do not despond!
Having descended into this bower, I shall quickly restore you."

7.188

Saying this, I descended here into the forest bower;
here, in a sheltered place, I brought my beloved into a plantain hut.

7.189

Having rubbed the fire-sticks together, I ignited a fire afterwards;
I warmed her body in many ways, and then I said:

7.190

"Your body has become sound, fair lady! Let us go now to our own place."
And then she said: "Dearest, let us do so!"

7.191

Thus both people came out from the plantain hut.
O Cittavega, then you were suddenly seen here!

7.192

Indeed, she is Kanakamālā's sister, named Priyaṅgumañjarī;
O friend, she has arrived thus through your abundant favor!"

7.193

"All that was asked by you has been explained by me."
O Supratiṣṭha, thus it was spoken by Citragati.

7.194

And then I said: "There is no one as pitiless of heart as I,
by whom, intent on his own purpose, his friend was plunged into peril!

7.195

Yet because of your greatness, you who are devoted to fulfilling others' tasks,
the accomplishment of your desired end arose through the power of your own merit.

7.196

So, friend, there is no other in the world like you, affectionately devoted without cause,
by whom my union with my beloved, though exceedingly difficult, was brought about.

7.197

Likewise, even life itself was given by you to me, doing such a deed;
therefore, friend, apart from you there is no benefactor."

7.198

And then Citragati said: "What service was done by me for you?
