1.Adhaagatha
kaschidadhijyadhanvaa,
Munim nishadha
sahasaa jagaadha-,
THwam sathyavag broohi
muni thwayaa kim,
DRushta kiti
sayaka vidhadeha.
1.Immediately one
hunter armed with bow and arrow,
Came and asked the sage” Are you not one ,
Who speaks the
truth and so tell me ,
Did you see a boar
hurt by an arrow here.”
2.Drushta
thwayaa ched vadha sookara kka,
Gatho na vaa
adrusyath kim , muneendra,
Aham nishadha khalu
vanya vruthir,
Mamaasthi
dhaaradhika poshya varga.
2.Oh king of saints
if you have seen the boar,
Please do tell me. Where has it gone?
As I am hunter I
depend on forest to live,
As I have the duty
to look after my wife and others.
3. Sruthwaa nishadhasya
vacho muni sa,
THooshnim sthitha
schinthayanthi sma gaadam,
Vadhaami kim dushta
ithiyathi chedh,
Hanyadhayam
tham mama chaapyagam
syaath.
3.The sage who
heard the words of the hunter
,
Remained silent and was
drowned in deep thought,
“What shall I do? If I tell I have
seen , he will kill it,
And Sin of causing its death would come to me.
4,.Sathyam naram
rakshathi rakshitham che,
Dasathyavakthaa
narakam vrujecha,
SAthyam hi sathyam sadayam na kinchid,
SAthyam
krupaa soonyamidham matham may.
4,My opinion is
that , if we protect the truth ,
It would save us
and a liar would go to hell .
Truth admixed with mercy
is truth and truth,
Without mercy
is definitely not the truth.
5.Yevam mune
schinthayanths swakaarya,
Vyagro b
nishaadhas punareva mooche,
Drushta thwayaa
kim na kitir na kim vaa,
Drushta sa
seegram kadhayathra sathyam.
5.When the sage
was thinking like this,
The hunter who
was interested only in his affair,
Again told like this”Did you see that
boar?,
Did you not see it?.Tell quickly and tell the truth.”
6.Munisthmaahathra
puna puna kim,
Nishaadha
maam pruchasi moha magna
,
Pasyan naheth
na cha bruvaana ,
Pasyedalam
vagmibharavehi sathyam.
6.The sage told
the hunter, “ Oh hunter , now,
You seem to be drowned in desire and you are ,
Asking me again
and again. Those who see ,
Would not speak
and those who speak do
not know.,
Reduce your
words and understand
the truth.
7.Unmaadhino
jalpanameths devam,
Mathwaa nishadha sahasaa
jagaamaa,
Naa sathya mukthasm
muninaa na kolo,
Hathascha sarvam
thava devi leelaa.
7.The hunter
thinking that it is a lunatic prattle,
Suddenly left
from there. While sage did nor lie,
The boar also
did not die and Oh Goddess ,
Is not all this
your playful sports.
8.Drushtaa param
brahma thadaiva cha syaa-,
Dithi sruthi praha
na bashathe sa,
Sadaa brovaanasthu
na pasyadheedha ,
Mayam hi
sathyavrutha vaakya saaraa.
8. The Vedas tell
that he who sees
the Para Brahma,
Becomes one with
itself and He then does not talk,
On the other
hand one who always talks cannot see,
Para Brahma and this is the summary of words of Sathya Vrutha
9.Bhooya sa saaaraswatha bheeja manthram,
Chiram japan jnana nidhi kavischa,
Valmikivath
swardisi prasidho,
Babhoova
bandhoon samatharpyascha,
9.Then later
Utadhya chanted the root chant ,
Of Goddess Saraswathi
for a very long time,
And became famous
as a wise man and poet,
Like Valmiki
and made his relatives happy.
10.Smruthaa nathaa devi
supoojithaa vaa,
Sruthaa
nuthaa vaa khaku
vandithaa vaa,
Dadhaasi
nithyam hitam aasrithebhya,
Krupadrichithe
sathatham namasthe .
10. Oh Goddess
you do only good to all those ,
Who think about you
, Who worship you.
Who hear and pray
to you, Who salute you,
And who surrender to you. Oh Goddess
With great mercy, I salute you always.
