विसृजन्तो महाकाया मारुतिं पर्यवारयन्। ते गदाभिर्विचित्राभिः परिघैः काञ्चनाङ्गदैः
They, of great stature, surrounded the son of the Wind, hurling at him maces adorned with gold and iron clubs.
आजग्मुर्वानरश्रेष्ठं बाणैश्चादित्यसंनिभैः। आवर्त इव गङ्गायास्तोयस्य विपुलो महान्
They advanced upon the foremost of monkeys with arrows shining like the sun, like a vast, mighty whirlpool of the Ganga's waters.
परिक्षिप्य हरिश्रेष्ठं स बभौ रक्षसां गणः। ततो वातात्मजः क्रुद्धो भीमरूपं समास्थितः
Encircling the best of monkeys, the host of rakshasas shone; then the son of the Wind, enraged, assumed a terrifying form.
प्रासादस्य महांस्तस्य स्तम्भं हेमपरिष्कृतम्। उत्पाटयित्वा वेगेन हनूमान् मारुतात्मजः
Hanuman, son of the Wind, with great speed uprooted a massive, gold-adorned pillar of that building.
ततस्तं भ्रामयामास शतधारं महाबलः। तत्र चाग्निः समभवत् प्रासादश्चाप्यदह्यत
Then the mighty one began to whirl it, blazing on all sides; fire appeared there, and the building too was set ablaze.
दह्यमानं ततो दृष्ट्वा प्रासादं हरियूथपः। स राक्षसशतं हत्वा वज्रेणेन्द्र इवासुरान्
Seeing the building burning, the leader of the monkeys slew a hundred rakshasas, like Indra with his thunderbolt destroying asuras.
अन्तरिक्षस्थितः श्रीमानिदं वचनमब्रवीत्। मादृशानां सहस्राणि विसृष्टानि महात्मनाम्
Standing in the sky, glorious, he spoke these words: 'Thousands like me have been dispatched by the great-souled ones.'
बलिनां वानरेन्द्राणां सुग्रीववशवर्तिनाम्। अटन्ति वसुधां कृत्स्नां वयमन्ये च वानराः
'We and other monkeys, mighty leaders under Sugriva's command, roam the whole earth.'
दशनागबलाः केचित् केचिद् दशगुणोत्तराः। केचिन्नागसहस्रस्य बभूवुस्तुल्यविक्रमाः
'Some have the strength of ten elephants, some are ten times stronger, and some are equal in valor to a thousand elephants.'
सन्ति चौघबलाः केचित् सन्ति वायुबलोपमाः। अप्रमेयबलाः केचित् तत्रासन् हरियूथपाः
'Some have the strength of a flood, some are like the wind in power, and some among the monkey chiefs possess immeasurable might.'
ईदृग्विधैस्तु हरिभिर्वृतो दन्तनखायुधैः। शतैः शतसहस्रैश्च कोटिभिश्चायुतैरपि
'Surrounded by such monkeys, armed with teeth and claws, in hundreds, hundreds of thousands, millions, and tens of millions—'
आगमिष्यति सुग्रीवः सर्वेषां वो निषूदनः। नेयमस्ति पुरी लङ्का न यूयं न च रावणः। यस्य त्विक्ष्वाकुवीरेण बद्धं वैरं महात्मना
Sugriva, the destroyer of all your kind, will come; for you, this city of Lanka, yourselves, and even Ravana, have no hope—since enmity has been forged with the mighty hero of the Ikshvaku line.
इत्यार्षे श्रीमद्रामायणे वाल्मीकीये आदिकाव्ये सुन्दरकाण्डे त्रिचत्वारिंशः सर्गः ॥ ५.
Thus ends the forty-third chapter in the Sundara Kanda of the glorious Ramayana, composed by the sage Valmiki.
thumb|चतुश्चत्वारिंशः सर्गः श्रूयताम्|center श्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे सुन्दरकाण्डे चतुश्चत्वारिंशः सर्गः ॥५-
Let the forty-fourth chapter be heard in the glorious Valmiki Ramayana, in the Sundara Kanda.
संदिष्टो राक्षसेन्द्रेण प्रहस्तस्य सुतो बली । जम्बुमाली महादंष्ट्रो निर्जगाम धनुर्धरः
Commanded by the king of the rakshasas, the mighty Jambumali, son of Prahasta, bearing great fangs and armed with a bow, came forth.
रक्तमाल्याम्बरधरः स्रग्वी रुचिरकुण्डलः । महान् विवृत्तनयनश्चण्डः समरदुर्जयः
He wore red garlands and garments, adorned with a wreath and shining earrings; his eyes were wide and fierce, and he was invincible in battle.
धनुः शक्रधनुःप्रख्यं महद्रुचिरसायकम् । विस्फारयानो वेगेन वज्राशनिसमस्वनम्
His bow, resembling Indra's own, was great and splendid, strung with a swift and beautiful arrow, and as he drew it, it resounded like thunder and lightning.
तस्य विस्फारघोषेण धनुषो महता दिशः । प्रदिशश्च नभश्चॆव सहसा समपूर्यत
With the mighty twang of his bow, the directions, the intermediate quarters, and even the sky were suddenly filled with sound.
रथेन खरयुक्तेन तमागतमुदीक्ष्य सः । हनुमान् वेगसंपन्नो जहर्ष च ननाद च
Seeing him approach in a chariot drawn by mules, Hanuman, swift of movement, rejoiced and roared loudly.
तं तोरणविटङ्कस्थं हनुमन्तं महाकपिम् । जम्बुमाली महाबाहुर्विव्याध निशितैः शरैः
Jambumali, the mighty-armed, struck Hanuman, the great monkey standing on the archway, with sharp arrows.
अर्धचन्द्रेण वदने शिरस्येकेन कर्णिना । बाह्वोर्विव्याध नाराचैर्दशभिस्तं कपीश्वरम्
With a crescent-headed arrow he struck his face, with a barbed one his head, and with ten iron arrows he pierced the monkey lord's arms.
तस्य तच्छुशुभे ताम्रं शरेणाभिहतं मुखम् । शरदीवाम्बुजम्फुल्लं विद्धं भास्कररश्मिना
His face, struck by the coppery arrow, shone like a lotus in autumn pierced by the rays of the sun.
तत्तस्य रक्तं रक्तेन रञ्जितं शुशुभे मुखम् । यथाकाशे महापद्मं सिक्तं चन्दनबिन्दुभिः
His blood-stained face, reddened by blood, shone like a great lotus in the sky sprinkled with drops of sandalwood.
चुकोप बाणाभिहतो राक्षसस्य महाकपिः । ततः पार्श्वेतिविपुलां ददर्श महतीं शिलाम्
Struck by the rakshasa's arrows, the great monkey grew angry; then, at his side, he saw a massive rock.
तरसा तां समुत्पाट्य चिक्षेप बलवद्बली । तां शरैर्दशभिः क्रुद्धस्ताडयामास राक्षसः
With force he uprooted it and hurled it powerfully; the enraged rakshasa struck it with ten arrows.
विपन्नं कर्म तद्दृष्ट्वा हनुमांश्चण्डविक्रमः । सालं विपुलमुत्पाट्य भ्रामयामास वीर्यवान्
Seeing his effort thwarted, Hanuman of fierce valor, full of strength, uprooted a great sala tree and began to whirl it.
भ्रामयन्तं कपिं दृष्ट्वा सालवृक्षं महाबलम् । चिक्षेप सुबहून् बाणान् जम्बुमाली महाबलः
Seeing the mighty monkey whirling the sala tree, Jambumali, of great strength, shot many arrows at him.
सालं चतुर्भिश्चिच्छेद वानरं पञ्चभिर्भुजे । शिरस्येकेन बाणेन दशभिस्तु स्तनान्तरे
He cut the sala tree with four arrows, struck the monkey's arm with five, his head with one, and his chest with ten.
स शरैः पूरिततनुः क्रोधेन महता वृतः । तमेव परिघं गृह्य भ्रामयामास वेगतः
His body filled with arrows and enveloped in great wrath, Hanuman seized the same iron club and began to whirl it swiftly.
अतिवेगोतिवेगेन भ्रामयित्वा बलोत्कटः । परिघं पातयामास जम्बुमालेर्महोरसि
With extraordinary speed and strength, he whirled the iron club and struck it upon the mighty chest of Jambumāli.
