"The great-resplendent Vishvamitra on knowing through his ascetic power about the ruination of the sons of Vashishta, along with Mahodaya, proclaimed this amidst the observance of sages." Sage Shataananda continued his narration of Trishanku's legend. [1-60-1]
विश्वामित्र ने, जो महान तेजस्वी थे, यह जानकर कि वशिष्ठ के पुत्र तपस्या से दुर्बल हो गए हैं, ऋषियों के बीच में कहा।

अयमिक्ष्वाकुदायादस्त्रिशंकुरिति विश्रुतः |
धर्मिष्ठश्च वदान्यश्च मां चैव शरणं गतः || १-६०-२
स्वेनानेन शरीरेण देवलोकजिगीषया |
'This legatee of Ikshvaku dynasty is well-know as Trishanku, a righteous and benevolent one. He came under my shelter as he wishes to win over the heaven of gods with his own mortal body.' So Vishvamitra started to speak to sages. [1-60-2, 3b]
यह इक्ष्वाकुवंशीय राजा त्रिशंकु, जो धर्मात्मा और दानशील थे, मेरे पास शरण लेने आए थे। वे अपने इसी शरीर से स्वर्ग लोक जीतने की इच्छा रखते थे।
Bala Kanda – Sarga 60 · v3
यथायं स्वशरीरेण देवलोकं गमिष्यति || १-६०-३
तथा प्रवर्त्यतां यज्ञो भवद्भिश्च मया सह |
'You all scholars have to conduct Vedic-ritual along with in such a way as to how Trishnaku reaches the heaven of gods.' Thus Vishvamitra advised the conductors of the ritual. [1-60-3b, 4a]
जैसे यह अपने शरीर से देवलोक को जाएगा, वैसे ही यज्ञ तुम सब मेरे साथ करो।
Bala Kanda – Sarga 60 · v4
विश्वामित्रवचः श्रुत्वा सर्व एव महर्षयः || १-६०-४
ऊचुः समेताः सहसा धर्मज्ञा धर्मसंहितम् |
On listening the words of Vishvamitra all those great-sages have come together and quickly discussed among themselves about what is agreeable to righteousness, as they are the knowers of scruples of conducting Vedic-rituals, but such a ritual is desultory. [1-60-4b, 5a]
विश्वामित्र की बात सुनकर सभी धर्मज्ञ महर्षि एक साथ बोले कि यह धर्म के अनुसार है।
Bala Kanda – Sarga 60 · v5
अयं कुशिकदायादो मुनिः परमकोपनः || १-६०-५
यदाह वचनं सम्यगेतत् कार्यं न संशयः |
अग्निकल्पो हि भगवान् शापं दास्यति रोषितः || १-६०-६
Whatever Vishvamitra says let it be translated entirely and exhaustively into deeds called ritual. This Vishvamitra is the legatee of Sage Kushi, and indeed he is a saint similar to Ritual-fire besides being an extremely furious person. Otherwise this awesome sage gives curse, rancorously. [1-60-5b, 6]
यह कुशिकपुत्र, अत्यंत क्रोधी मुनि, जब यह बात ठीक से कहेंगे, तो इसमें कोई संदेह नहीं कि यह कार्य अवश्य होगा। क्रोधित होने पर भगवान अग्नि के समान शाप देंगे।
'As such, let the Vedic-ritual be conducted intending and enabling Trishanku, the legatee of Ikshvaku, to go to heaven by the ritualist prowess of Vishvamitra, therefor you conduct yourselves and you all preside over it.' Thus, the officiators conceded among themselves. [1-60-7, 8a]
अतः, इक्ष्वाकु के पुत्र के लिए विश्वामित्र के तेज से यज्ञ इस प्रकार आरम्भ किया जाए कि वह सशरीर स्वर्ग को प्राप्त हो। फिर यज्ञ आरम्भ करो, सब मिलकर इसे सम्पन्न करो।
Concluding thus those great-sages undertook concerned works of that Vedic-ritual and the great-resplendent Vishvamitra himself became its principal officiator. [1-60-8b, 9a]
यह सुनकर महर्षियों ने तब अपनी क्रियाएँ समाप्त कीं। उस यज्ञ में महातेजस्वी विश्वामित्र याजक बने।
Those hymnodists who are the experts in hymnodies have scripturally carried out all ceremonies in a methodical way with inviolable hymnal methods, and as per Kalpa treatise, that lays down the rules for conducting such rituals. [1-60-9b, 10a]
Bala Kanda – Sarga 60 · v9
ततः कालेन महता विश्वामित्रो महातपाः || १-६०-१०
चकारावाहनं तत्र भागार्थं सर्वदेवताः |
After a long time that highly ascetical Vishvamitra welcomed all the gods to receive their allotted oblations in that ritual. [1-60-10b, 11a]
तब बहुत समय के बाद, महान तपस्वी विश्वामित्र ने देवताओं को वहाँ भाग (यज्ञ का हिस्सा) के लिए आमंत्रित किया।
Then all of the gods who are invited to partake of the oblation have not come forward to receive their allotments, and then the great-saint Vishvamitra, obsessive with fury, furiously lifted up a wooden-oblational-scoop, and said this to Trishanku. [1-60-11b, 12]

एष त्वां स्वशरीरेण नयामि स्वर्गमोजसा || १-६०-१३
दुष्प्रापं स्वशरीरेण दिवं गच्छ नराधिप |
Oh, ruler of people, now you shall see the potency of my ascesis which I personally achieved. Such as I am I shall lead you forth to haven with your own body just by my personal capability. Oh, king of people, now you will go to heaven with your own mortal body, which is otherwise unattainable. [1-60-13, 14a]
Bala Kanda – Sarga 60 · v12
स्वार्जितं किंचिदप्यस्ति मया हि तपसः फलम् || १-६०-१४
राजन् त्वं तेजसा तस्य सशरीरो दिवं व्रज |
'May it be a little, but there is some fruit of my ascesis, isn't it! Oh, king, you will journey to heaven with your own body owing to that prowess of my ascesis.' Vishvamitra said so to Trishanku. [1-60-14b, 15a]
हे राजन, मेरे द्वारा अर्जित तपस्या का थोड़ा सा भी फल है। उस फल के तेज से तुम सशरीर स्वर्ग को प्राप्त करो।
"Once the sage Vishvamitra said those words, oh, Rama of Kakutstha, that king Trishanku soared to heaven with his mortal body, before the very eyes of other sages." Sage Shataananda continued. [1-60-15b, 16a]
उस वाक्य को कहने के बाद, वह राजा उस ऋषि के सामने ही सशरीर स्वर्ग को चला गया, और सभी ऋषि यह देखकर चकित रह गए।
On seeing Trishanku's entry into the realm of heaven, Indra, the subjugator of demon Paaka, spoke this sentence together with all the multitudes of gods. [1-60-16b, 17a]
स्वर्गलोक में त्रिशंकु को देखकर इंद्र ने सभी देवताओं के साथ यह कहा।
Oh, Trishanku, you have not yet made heaven as your haunt, hence retrace your steps. As you are thrashed by the damning of your mentor Vashishta, you inane human, again fall down on earth, but with your head inversed. [1-60-17b, 18a]
त्रिशंकु, तुम मूर्ख हो और गुरु के श्राप से पीड़ित हो, इसलिए स्वर्ग में तुम्हारा स्थान नहीं है। तुम सिर के बल पृथ्वी पर गिरोगे।
Bala Kanda – Sarga 60 · v16
एवमुक्तो महेन्द्रेण त्रिशंकुरपतत् पुनः || १-६०-१८
विक्रोशमानस्त्राहीति विश्वामित्रं तपोधनम् |
When Mahendra said so, Trishanku loudly exclaiming at the ascetically wealthy Vishvamitra saying, 'save me, save me,' and fell down from heaven. [1-60-18b, 19a]
त्रिशंकु ने विश्वामित्र से कहा, "मुझे बचाओ!" और फिर से गिर पड़ा।
On hearing the exclamatory sentence of Trishanku who is shouting it loudly, Vishvamitra assumed an abnormal anger and also said, 'wait... wait...' [1-60-19b, 20a]
कौशिक ने उस रोते हुए व्यक्ति की बात सुनकर अत्यंत क्रोधित होकर कहा, "ठहरो, ठहरो!"

Like the other Creator that resplendent Vishvamitra, himself staying among sages, has replicated Southerly Ursa Major in southerly direction. And still remaining amidst of sages that highly reputed sage Vishvamitra further started to replicate the stereotyped stocks of stars sequentially, resorting to the southern hemisphere, as he is convulsed in anger at Indra. [1-60-20b, 21, 22a]
यहाँ संस्कृत श्लोक का सरल हिंदी अनुवाद दिया गया है: उस तेजस्वी प्रजापति के समान ऋषि के बीच, क्रोध से व्याकुल होकर, उन्होंने दक्षिण दिशा में स्थित सप्तर्षियों और नक्षत्रों की माला का निर्माण किया।

दैवतान्यपि स क्रोधात् स्रष्टुं समुपचक्रमे || १-६०-२३
On replicating the stereotyped stocks of other galaxies and stars, and while fury continued to blemish him Vishvamitra said, 'I will now clone an alternative Indra, or let that realm created by me remain without any Indra,' and when he is about to proceed to clone even gods in his wrath, the gods are startled. [1-60-22b, 23]
क्रोधित होकर, नक्षत्रों के वंश को नष्ट करने के बाद, उसने सोचा कि वह एक नया इंद्र बनाएगा या फिर यह संसार ही इंद्रविहीन हो जाएगा। उस क्रोध में उसने देवताओं को भी फिर से बनाने का निश्चय किया।

The gods are highly startled at Vishvamitra's creation, and they along with demons and with observances of hermits addressed the great-souled Vishvamitra with placatory words. [1-60-24]
तब अत्यंत व्याकुल हुए ऋषिगण और देवतागण, विश्वामित्र नामक महात्मा से नम्रतापूर्वक बोले।
Bala Kanda – Sarga 60 · v21
अयं राजा महाभाग गुरुशापपरिक्षतः |

'Oh great-fortunate Vishvamitra, this king Trishnaku is damned by his mentor, hence oh, ascetically wealthy sage, he is not at all eligible to go to heaven with his mortal body.' So said gods to Vishvamitra. [1-60-25]
यह महाभाग राजा, गुरु के शाप से पीड़ित होने के कारण, शरीर सहित स्वर्ग जाने के योग्य नहीं है, हे तपोधन।
On hearing that sentence of those gods, the eminent saint Kaushika spoke this highly laudable sentence to all of the gods. [1-60-26]
उन देवताओं की बातें सुनकर, मुनियों में श्रेष्ठ कौशिक ने सभी देवताओं से बहुत महत्वपूर्ण बात कही।

Let safety betide you all. I have promised to this king Trishanku that he will ascend to heaven with his mortal body, and I am not interested to make it untrue. [1-60-27]
हे राजाधिराज, वस्त्रों से सजे हुए आपके शरीर के लिए यह शुभ है कि आपने जो चढ़ाई करने का वचन दिया है, उसे पूरा करने में मैं पीछे नहीं हटूंगा।
Bala Kanda – Sarga 60 · v24

यत्कृतानि सुराः सर्वे तदनुज्ञातुमर्हथ || १-६०-२९
'Let there be eternal heaven to Trishanku with his mortal body. Next, as along as the worlds remain, let all of these stars and galaxies I have created also remain eternally in their places as my creation. It will be apt of you all gods to accede to this.' So said Vishvamitra to gods. [1-60-28, 29]
स्वर्ग में राजा त्रिशंकु का शरीर सहित निवास शाश्वत हो। सभी नक्षत्र भी मेरे हों और जब तक ये सब लोक में रहेंगे, तब तक वे स्थिर रहें। हे देवताओं, आप सभी को मेरे इस कार्य की आज्ञा देनी चाहिए।

एवमुक्ताः सुराः सर्वे प्रत्यूचुर्मुनिपुंगवम् |
एवं भवतु भद्रं ते तिष्ठन्त्वेतानि सर्वशः || १-६०-३०
When all the gods are addressed thus they replied the eminent saint Vishvamitra saying, 'so be it! Safe you be! Let all the created objects prevail in their respective places. Those amazing and numerous stars you have created will remain in firmament, but outside the path of stelliform of Cosmic Person. Trishanku will also remain in the circle of stars you created, but upside-down, for Indra's indict cannot be annulled, and he will be gleaming like a star and similar to any celestial. [1-60-30, 31, 32a]
हे मुनि श्रेष्ठ, आपकी बात सुनकर सभी देवता बोले, "ऐसा ही हो, आपका कल्याण हो। ये सब नक्षत्र आपके कहे अनुसार सर्वत्र स्थापित हों। वे अनगिनत नक्षत्र वैश्वानर (सूर्य) के मार्ग से बाहर आकाश में रहें। त्रिशंकु भी सिर नीचे किए हुए देवताओं के समान वहाँ स्थित रहें।"
'According to their wont to circumambulate someone who has gone to heavenly worlds, all the stars will suppliantly circumambulate this best king Trishanku, who has achieved his ends and who has become an acclaimed one with your tour de force.' So said gods to Vishvamitra in deterring his further cloning of a simulative Universe. [1-60-32b, 33a]
यह श्लोक कहता है कि महान राजा, जो अपने लक्ष्यों को प्राप्त कर चुका है और कीर्तिमान है, स्वर्गलोक में उसी प्रकार निवास करता है जैसे कोई व्यक्ति अपने कर्मों के फल का भोग करता है।
Even the benign-souled Vishvamitra, when reverenced by all gods, that great-resplendent sage without stirring himself from among the sages said to all gods, 'Agreed!' [1-60-33]
विश्वामित्र, जो धर्मात्मा थे और सभी देवताओं द्वारा प्रशंसित थे, ऋषियों के बीच महान तेजस्वी थे। देवताओं ने उनकी बात को स्वीकार किया।
Oh, best one among men Rama, later at the end of that ritual great-souled gods and ascetically wealthy sages went away as they have come. Thus Sage Shataananda continued the narration of the legend. [1-60-34]
तब महान आत्मा वाले देवता और तपस्वी ऋषियों ने, यज्ञ समाप्त होने पर, जैसे आए थे वैसे ही लौट गए, हे नरोत्तम।
