1.134
As one wishes to be, so intending should he approach it;
as one who has a rival, [so should he approach it].
He himself triumphs, and his hating rival is defeated, who knows thus.
When the Bṛhat and Rathantara were created, creatures and cattle trembled in fear of them.
Those two looked around at themselves: 'What cruel thing did we possess in ourselves, through fear of which creatures and cattle trembled?'
They perceived the two finales.
Depositing them in the forest, they descended to the village.
That became a self-made barren spot.
Therefore people say: 'One should not settle upon a self-made barren spot;
one is liable to become worse off if one settles upon a self-made barren spot.'
It was burnt up by these two finales of the Bṛhat and the Rathantara.
Those two, namely the Bṛhat and the Rathantara, are sung in the village without their finales.
Freely indeed may one chant praise with these two devoid of finales in the village.
