English translation
The curse of MohinI and shattering of the Sr! Kysna said- O Radha, with the goad of divine knowledge provided by me to Brahma he controlled himself as an intoxicated elephant is controlled with the goad. The passionate Brahma then reciting the name of Hari remained before Mohinl. Thereafter MohinI started jeering at Mohinl said.- O virtuous one, the one whose mind is influence ' with simply the move of a damsel and who enjoys her company dragging her towards him, is known as the best of persons.
The one who enjoys the company of a damsel after she expressed plainly her desire, he is called to he a mediocre person.
The one who rejects a passionate damsel in a secluded place after having been approached by her again and again he falls into the hell after death and becomes unadorable in the universe.
He is deprived of the glory, his beauty fades away and the intelligence also leaves him he becomes impotent. Therefore O lord of the universe I am drowning in the ocean of passion which is terrible and difficult to cross, you serve as the sailor and protect me to cross it. Therefore you get up immediately.
You bestow me the invaluable gem of your love-sport because I am always devoted to you.
The place is free from any creature. The fragrant breeze is blowing, the cuckoo is issuing sweet notes. This is the secluded place and I happen to be your slave girl for many births who has devoted her mind to you.
THRi *n?iT wigcfra grR gt I?? 11 Thus speaking the smiling and passionate Mohinl started dragging the costumes of Brahma. Realising the difficult time and getting upset, Brahma spoke to her meekly the nectar¬ Brahma said- "O Mohinl, you listen to my words which are the essence of truth, are quite clear and beneficial. Don't pul to shame the race of a women in the three worlds.
O mother you forgive an old person like me as a son. O the one having a smile on your face, you search for a youthful person for the fulfilment of your desire.
The wife conceives from her husband and gets the auspicious mantra and the progeny automatically. Such things cannot be achieved even by making efforts.

them and made them to take their respective seats. Surrounded by the sages, Brahma looked glorious as the moon is found among the starts.
At that very moment all the sages possessing divine lustre reached that pleasant place.
fiiwHW 71^: W?H:l They included Atri, Pulastya, Pulaha, Vasist and Sanatkumara who was the great teacher of the yogis besides Satatapa, Pippala, Sahku, and Kausika.
Finding the arrival of all the great sages, who were crowned with penance, Mohinl felt ashamed and she left Brahma.
Brahma the creator of the universe took his seat there and Mohinl seated herself to his left.
Bowing their heads with devotion all the sages offered their salutations to Brahma who blessed Thereafter, they questioned him, "How is Mohinl the apsara, of the heaven seated beside ciRhnmfrl: I On hearing the words of the sages, Brahma said, "The words of the women are covered with Brahma said - "This divine figure is feeling fatigued because of assertive dancing and singing; therefore she is seated like a daughter sitting before the father.".
Thus speaking, Brahma laughed in the assembly of the sages. O Radha the all knowledgeable sages also laughed at that time.
Realising the secret and the mental condition of the creator of the universe, that wicked women pretending as laughing was immensely enraged. All her limbs started trembling. The face was deformed and the eyes became red like the red lotus flowers. Her lips started fluttering in She abruptly got up and stood in the assembly.
Then in utter rage, addressing Brahma she spoke like the girl of death.
Mohinl said- O Brahman, you are the lord of the universe and the creator of the Vedas.
You are the teacher of those well-versed in the Vedas. You think over in your mind as to which one of the actions is against the Vedas and which one is according to them. The one who could cast an evil eye on his own daughter how could he laugh at a dancer? The lord has made me the apsara of the heaven who can move at will.
Tiior sqgTflrrn,i Such of the actions of the noble people which are against the scriptures is just a fallacy. By the move of destiny I had arrived to take refuge with you like a humble slave-girl. For whom you are laughing at? As such you would soon become unadorable and shortly lord I lari would himself shatter your pride.
O Brahman, now you listen to the words of an apsara whosoever would recite your words or stotra he would surely meet with obstruction and would be laughed at in the world. In every yuga, the gods will be adored annually but you will not be adored on the first day of the month of MSgha. During this kalpa or in the next kalpa you will not be adored in your present form, for whatever has been done by you. Thus speaking Mohini at once left the place and moved on to the abode of the god of love.
Enjoying his union she was relieved of all the sufferings. Thereafter, coming to her senses she ggigr g f;fegT I' fggmT ggHT ggn^ Hdchm:i ggig gg gTg;i I ^ 11 fgggRgraJiwf I She said, "How could I pronounce a curse on the loveable Brahma who happens to be the creator of the universe?" Aflter the departure of Mohinl the apsara of the heaven, the sages felt immediately grieved and the creator of the universe started trembling. His head was lowered thereafter the sages who always bestows welfare, spoke of the remedy to him, you take refuge with the lord of the Vaikuntha. Thus speaking, all of them left for their respective abodes. Thereafter Brahma went to take refuge with my second figure which is peaceful is the lord of Laksmi, having dark complexion and known as Narayana.
Brahma reached there with faded faces and bowed in reverence to the four armed Visnu who took his seat besides him. At that point of time his throat, lips and palate had dried up. He than revealed the cause of his arrival to lord Visnu who is blissful on the down-trodden, the ocean of mercy, the one who redeems all from the miseries. On hearing the words of Brahma, Narayana smiled for a moment and spoke to him the truthful, beneficial words which were the essence of all and provided welfare.
Narayana said- You yourself are well-versed in the Vedas and happen to be the teacher of all the intelligent teacher but whatever you have done is unheard of in the universe. The woman are the arhs'a of Prakiti and are the form of seed of the universe. With the insult of a woman Prakrti is insulted. This is not Bharatavarsa alone but happens to be the absolutely sacred place. In this playground of Brahmaloka what was the need of your controlling the senses. In case, in the land of Bharata, accidentally if a damsel reaches a person with the intention of physical unity, infatuated with love even the self controlled persons are not required to disowned her because by doing so he falls into the hell f:73rcif wi w Getting infested with pain such a woman would surely pronounce a curse on the man. The one who disowning his own wife passionately owns some other damsel he is considered to be a degraded person. There is no doubt bout it. He
dragged his ten past and ten future generations into the hell. Similarly the women who leaving her own husband passionately goes to another person, she also throws her ten past and ten future generations in the hell but a person who enjoys the company of a whore earns no blemish.
Only a damsel of high family earns a blemish. In case a damsel of high family by making efforts attracts someone to her. She surely falls into the hell named andhakupa and remains there till the life of the sun and the moon.
But the apsard of the heaven goes to heaven according to her family traditions and the one who insults her earns a sin. Now I shall move in such a direction which may purify the person. O lord of the universe, you remain in the ocean of the sin for sometime.
In the meantime a gate-keeper arrived before the lord in a haste and lowering his head, he said.
The gate-keeper said- "O lord of the universe Brahma, with ten heads has arrived at the gate.
He happens to be the great devotee of yours and has arrived here to gain and audience with you.”.
On hearing the words of the gate-keeper the lord gave him the permission. Thereafter the gate-keeper with the permission of the lord brought Brahma there who started offering his prayer to the lord.
He recited the glory of lord Visnu with astonishing type of stotras which could not be heard by Brahma. After offering prayer the ten headed Brahma at the command of lord Visnu took to four-headed form and was seated behind iH ci! I [s 11 c I Thereafter Visnu spoke to the four-armed gate-keeper, "You bring here the new comer wno has just arrived at the gate, quite gracefully.".
In the meantime Brahma with hundred faces who enjoyed the divine spots in Vmdavana also arrived there and also bowed in reverence to lord He also adored lord Visnu offering several stotras to him and adored him with a deep devotion. Thereafter he offered prayer with stotras which were unheard Of and after doing so he also took his seat.
Thereafter the hundred faced Brahma was also mode to take his seat beside the two Brahmas who had already arrived. At that very moment another lord of the universe having a thousand faces known as BrahmS also arrived before Vis nu. He also adored lord Visnu bowing his head.
He also offered prayer to him reciting the stotras which were unheard of earlier. And all of them were seated, lord Hari enquired about the welfare of the gods and the Brahmas of different globes, finding other Brahmas there, the pride of the four faced Brahma who considered himself to be like other Brahmas was shattered. The lord projected the Brahmas of the other globes.
Meeting them the four faced Brahma felt like dead. Then the lord gracefully made him realise that the number of globes equates with the number of the hair on his body and there are the same number of Brahmas, who remain present there always. Thereafter, all the Brahmas bowing before lord Narayana left for their abodes.
Thereafter, the four faced Brahma considered himself to be the lord of a tiny kingdom, his face was lowered in shame thereafter lord Visnu asked Brahma, "Tell me, what is all this you have seen like a dream?" Listening to the words of Narayana, Brahma said, "With the grace of your illusion I have witness the past, present and Thus speaking Brahma felt ashamed in the assembly and thereafter realising the agony of his mind, the lord spoke to him about the method for the release from the curse.
