मटचीहतेषु कुरुष्व् आटिक्या सह जाययोषस्तिर् ह चाक्रायण इभ्यग्रामे प्रद्राणक उवास
maṭacīhateṣu kuruṣv āṭikyā saha jāyayoṣastir ha cākrāyaṇa ibhyagrāme pradrāṇaka uvāsa
When the Kurus had been destroyed by (hail) stones, Ushasti Kâkrâyana lived as a beggar with his virgin wife at Ibhyagrâma.
Translated by F. Max Müller
स हेभ्यं कुल्माषान् खादन्तं बिभिक्षे । तं होवाच । नेतो ऽन्ये विद्यन्ते यच् च ये म इम उपनिहिता इति
sa hebhyaṃ kulmāṣān khādantaṃ bibhikṣe | taṃ hovāca | neto 'nye vidyante yac ca ye ma ima upanihitā iti
Seeing a chief eating beans, he begged of him. The chief said: 'I have no more, except those which are put away for me here.'
Translated by F. Max Müller
एतेषां मे देहीति होवाच । तान् अस्मै प्रददौ । हन्तानुपानम् इति । उच्छिष्टं वै मे पीतं स्याद् इति होवाच
eteṣāṃ me dehīti hovāca | tān asmai pradadau | hantānupānam iti | ucchiṣṭaṃ vai me pītaṃ syād iti hovāca
Ushasti said: 'Give me to eat of them.' He gave him the beans, and said: 'There is something to drink also.' Then said Ushasti: 'If I drank of it, I should have drunk what was left by another, and is therefore unclean.'
Translated by F. Max Müller
न स्विद् एते ऽप्य् उच्छिष्टा इति । न वा अजीविष्यम् इमान् अखादन्न् इति होवाच । कामो म उदपानम् इति
na svid ete 'py ucchiṣṭā iti | na vā ajīviṣyam imān akhādann iti hovāca | kāmo ma udapānam iti
The chief said: 'Were not those beans also left over and therefore unclean?' 'No,' he replied; 'for I should not have lived, if I had not eaten them, but the drinking of water would be mere pleasure.'
Translated by F. Max Müller
स ह खादित्वातिशेषाञ् जायाया आजहार । साग्र एव सुभिक्षा बभूव । तान् प्रतिगृह्य निदधौ
sa ha khāditvātiśeṣāñ jāyāyā ājahāra | sāgra eva subhikṣā babhūva | tān pratigṛhya nidadhau
Having eaten himself, Ushasti gave the remaining beans to his wife. But she, having eaten before, took them and put them away.
Translated by F. Max Müller
स ह प्रातः संजिहान उवाच । यद् बतान्नस्य लभेमहि लभेमहि धनमात्राम् । राजासौ यक्ष्यते । स मा सर्वैर् आर्त्विज्यैर् वृणीतेति
sa ha prātaḥ saṃjihāna uvāca | yad batānnasya labhemahi labhemahi dhanamātrām | rājāsau yakṣyate | sa mā sarvair ārtvijyair vṛṇīteti
Rising the next morning, Ushasti said to her: 'Alas, if we could only get some food, we might gain a little wealth. The king here is going to offer a sacrifice, he should choose me for all the priestly offices.'
Translated by F. Max Müller
तं जायोवाच । हन्त पत इम एव कुल्माषा इति । तान् खादित्वामुं यज्ञं विततम् एयाय
taṃ jāyovāca | hanta pata ima eva kulmāṣā iti | tān khāditvāmuṃ yajñaṃ vitatam eyāya
His wife said to him: 'Look, here are those beans of yours.' Having eaten them, he went to the sacrifice which was being performed.
Translated by F. Max Müller
तत्रोद्गात्ःन् आस्तावे स्तोष्यमाणान् उपोपविवेश । स ह प्रस्तोतरम् उवाच
tatrodgātḥn āstāve stoṣyamāṇān upopaviveśa | sa ha prastotaram uvāca
He went and sat down on the orchestra near the Udgâtris, who were going to sing their hymns of praise. And he said to the Prastotri (the leader):
Translated by F. Max Müller
प्रस्तोतर् या देवता प्रस्तावम् अन्वायत्ता तां चेद् अविद्वान् प्रस्तोष्यसि मूर्धा ते विपतिष्यतीति
prastotar yā devatā prastāvam anvāyattā tāṃ ced avidvān prastoṣyasi mūrdhā te vipatiṣyatīti
'Prastotri, if you, without knowing the deity which belongs to the prastâva (the hymns &c. of the Prastotri), are going to sing it, your head will fall off.'
Translated by F. Max Müller
एवम् एवोद्गातारम् उवाच । उद्गातर् या देवतोद्गीथम् अन्वायत्ता तां चेद् अविद्वान् उद्गास्यसि मूर्धा ते विपतिष्यतीति
evam evodgātāram uvāca | udgātar yā devatodgītham anvāyattā tāṃ ced avidvān udgāsyasi mūrdhā te vipatiṣyatīti
In the same manner he addressed the Udgâtri; 'Udgâtri, if you, without knowing the deity which belongs to the udgtîha (the hymns of the Udgâtri), are going to sing it, your head will fall off.'
Translated by F. Max Müller
एवम् एव प्रतिहर्तारम् उवाच । प्रतिहर्तर् या देवता प्रतिहारम् अन्वायत्ता तां चेद् अविद्वान् प्रतिहरिष्यसि मूर्धा ते विपतिष्यतीति । ते ह समारतास् तूष्णीम् आसां चक्रिरे
evam eva pratihartāram uvāca | pratihartar yā devatā pratihāram anvāyattā tāṃ ced avidvān pratihariṣyasi mūrdhā te vipatiṣyatīti | te ha samāratās tūṣṇīm āsāṃ cakrire
In the same manner he addressed the Pratihartri; 'Pratihartri, if you, without knowing the deity which belongs to the pratihâra (the hymns of the Pratihartri), are going to sing it, your head will fall off.' They stopped, and sat down in silence.
