To the
penance, for the sake of a son.
Santa (Pratipa in quietude) was born a
son to continue the race; and SO the
son came to be called Santanu.
स्वे च राज्ये
Crowning Santanu in his kingdom,
the king (Pratipa) retired into the forest.
स राजा शान्तनुर्धीमान् क्षत्रधर्मविशेषवित् ।
वशे चक्रे महीमेको विजित्य वसुधाधिपान् ॥
That wise king Santanu, who knew the
kingly code in detail, conquered all kings
single-handed, and brought the world under
his control.
वयोरूपेण सम्पन्नः पौरुषेण बलेन च ।
स हस्तिनाम्नि धर्मात्मा विहर
चचार मृगयाशीलश्शान्तनुर्वनगोचरः ॥
Endowed with the beauty of youth,
manliness and strength, the virtuous
Santanu, the descendant of Kuru, living
happily in Hastinapura, roved (often)
hunting in the forests.
