Mahābhārata 3.138.1-8

Devanāgarī

लोमश उवाच
भरद्वाजस् तु कौन्तेय कृत्वा स्वाध्यायम् आह्निकम् ॥
समित्कलापम् आदाय प्रविवेश स्वम् आश्रमम् ॥
तं स्म दृष्ट्वा पुरा सर्वे प्रत्युत्तिष्ठन्ति पावकाः ॥
न त्व् एनम् उपतिष्ठन्ति हतपुत्रं तदाग्नयः ॥
वैकृतं त्व् अग्निहोत्रे स लक्षयित्वा महातपाः ॥
तम् अन्धं शूद्रम् आसीनं गृहपालम् अथाब्रवीत् ॥
किं नु मे नाग्नयः शूद्र प्रतिनन्दन्ति दर्शनम् ॥
त्वं चापि न यथापूर्वं कच्चित् क्षेमम् इहाश्रमे ॥
कच्चिन् न रैभ्यं पुत्रो मे गतवान् अल्पचेतनः ॥
एतद् आचक्ष्व मे शीघ्रं न हि मे शुध्यते मनः ॥
शूद्र उवाच
रैभ्यं गतो नूनम् असौ सुतस् ते मन्दचेतनः ॥
तथा हि निहतः शेते राक्षसेन बलीयसा ॥
प्रकाल्यमानस् तेनायं शूलहस्तेन रक्षसा ॥
अग्न्यागारं प्रति द्वारि मया दोर्भ्यां निवारितः ॥
ततः स निहतो ह्य् अत्र जलकामो ऽशुचिर् ध्रुवम् ॥
संभावितो हि तूर्णेन शूलहस्तेन रक्षसा ॥

Traducción

Lomasha said: "Bharadvaja, son of Kunti, having performed his svadhyaya and daily rite, took up a bundle of firewood and entered his ashram. Before, when the fires saw him, all of them would rise to meet him; but now, since his son had been killed, the fires did not greet him. Noticing the change in the agnihotra, the man of great austerity said to the blind shudra who sat as guard of the house: 'Why, shudra, do my fires no longer rejoice at the sight of me? And you too are not as you were before. Is all well here in the ashram? Has my faint-hearted son perhaps gone to Raibhya? Tell me quickly, for my mind finds no peace.' The shudra said: 'Surely this foolish son of yours has gone to Raibhya, for he lies slain by a rakshasa mightier than himself. When this rakshasa, spear in hand, was pursuing him, he ran toward the fire-house, but at the door I held him back with my arms. Then he was killed there, wanting water, surely impure, swiftly overtaken by the rakshasa with the raised spear.'"

Comentario

The fires fall silent before a man hears the news. In the world of the ascetic, the breaking of purity and the death of a son show themselves even in the sacrificial fire.
