KURMA AVATARA
 
Cast into the milk-ocean all kinds of
medicinal herbs, and with Mount Mandara
as the churner, serpent Vasuki as the
rope and Myself as aid, O gods, churn
diligently. The demons shall toil, and
you shall reap the fruit.

'यूयं तदनुमोदध्वं यदिच्छन्त्यसुरासुराः ।
 
न संरम्भेण सिद्धयन्ति सर्वेऽर्थाः सान्त्वया यथा ॥
 
"Gods! acquiesce in whatever the
demons desire. Never are purposes
achieved by impetuosity (so well) as by
conciliation.
 
'न भेतव्यं कालकूटाद्विषाज्जलधिसंभवात् ।
लोभः कार्यों न वो जातु रोषः कामस्तु वस्तुषु ॥'
 
"You should not get frightened at the
poison of Kalakuta which will arise from
the ocean; you should not exhibit avarice
at any time, or anger or love for the
things (that will arise from the ocean)."
 
इति देवान्समादिश्य भगवान्पुरुषोत्तमः ।
तेषामन्तर्दधे [राजन् ] स्वच्छन्दगतिरीश्वरः ॥
 
Having commanded the gods thus,
Lord Hari, the Master moving as He
pleases, disappeared from the sight of
the gods.
