तस्य चैव शिरो नास्ति न बाहू न च जानुनी । न धनुर्नरथो नाश्वास्तत्रादृश्यन्त नेषवः
Of him, neither head nor arms nor knees remained; neither bow nor chariot nor horses nor arrows were seen there.
स हतस्तरसा तेन जम्बुमाली महाबलः । पपात निहतो भूवौ चूर्णिताङ्गविभूषणः
Thus, struck down with force by Hanuman, the powerful Jambumāli fell dead to the ground, his ornaments crushed along with his limbs.
जम्बुमालिं च निहतं किङ्करांश्च महाबलान् । चुक्रोध रावणः श्रुत्वा कोपसंरक्त लोचनः
Hearing of Jambumāli slain and the mighty attendants killed, Ravana became enraged, his eyes reddened with wrath.
स रोषसंवर्तितताम्रलोचनः प्रहस्त पुत्रे निहते महाबले । अमात्यपुत्रानतिवीर्यविक्रमान् समादिदेशाशु निशाचरेश्वरः
With eyes coppery from swelling anger, the lord of night-dwellers, upon the death of Prahasta's mighty son, swiftly commanded the sons of his ministers, who possessed moderate strength and valor.

Let the forty-fifth chapter be heard.
ततस्ते राक्षसेन्द्रेण चोदिता मन्त्रिणः सुताः। निर्ययुर्भवनात् तस्मात् सप्त सप्तार्चिवर्चसः
Then, urged by the king of the rakshasas, the sons of the ministers, seven in number and radiant as flames, departed from that palace.
हेमजालपरिक्षिप्तैर्ध्वजवद्भिः पताकिभिः। तोयदस्वननिर्घोषैर्वाजियुक्तैर्महारथैः
With golden lattices surrounding them, banners like standards, and great chariots drawn by steeds roaring like thunderclouds, they set forth.
तप्तकाञ्चनचित्राणि चापान्यमितविक्रमाः। विस्फारयन्तः संहृष्टास्तडिद्वन्त इवाम्बुदाः
Brandishing bows adorned with heated gold, those warriors, delighted, stretched their bows like clouds flashing with lightning.
जनन्यस्तास्ततस्तेषां विदित्वा किंकरान् हतान्। बभूवुः शोकसम्भ्रान्ताः सबान्धवसुहृज्जनाः
The mothers of those warriors, realizing the attendants had been slain, became distraught with grief, along with their relatives and friends.
ते परस्परसंघर्षात् तप्तकाञ्चनभूषणाः। अभिपेतुर्हनूमन्तं तोरणस्थमवस्थितम्
Adorned with heated golden ornaments, they rushed together toward Hanuman, who stood upon the gateway.
सृजन्तो बाणवृष्टिं ते रथगर्जितनिःस्वनाः। प्रावृट्काल इवाम्भोदा विचेरुर्नैर्ऋताम्बुदाः
Releasing showers of arrows, their chariots roaring, the rakshasas moved about like storm clouds in the rainy season.
अवकीर्णस्ततस्ताभिर्हनूमान् शरवृष्टिभिः। अभवत् संवृताकारः शैलराडिव वृष्टिभिः
Then Hanuman was covered by those showers of arrows, and his form became concealed, like a mountain king enveloped by rain.
स शरान् वञ्चयामास तेषामाशुचरः कपिः। रथवेगांश्च वीराणां विचरन् विमलेऽम्बरे
That monkey, moving swiftly, evaded their arrows and the speed of the warriors' chariots, roaming in the clear sky.
स तैः क्रीडन् धनुष्मद्भिर्व्योम्नि वीरः प्रकाशते। धनुष्मद्भिर्यथा मेघैर्मारुतः प्रभुरम्बरे
Playing among those bowmen in the sky, the hero shone, as the lord of winds shines among clouds bearing bows.
स कृत्वा निनदं घोरं त्रासयंस्तां महाचमूम्। चकार हनुमान् वेगं तेषु रक्षःसु वीर्यवान्
Hanuman, making a terrible roar and terrifying that great army, displayed his speed among those rakshasas, powerful in valor.
तलेनाभिहनत् कांश्चित् पादैः कांश्चित् परंतपः। मुष्टिभिश्चाहनत् कांश्चिन्नखैः कांश्चिद् व्यदारयत्
With his palm he struck some, with his feet others, the tormentor of foes; with his fists he struck some, and with his nails he tore others.
प्रममाथोरसा कांश्चिदूरुभ्यामपरानपि। केचित् तस्यैव नादेन तत्रैव पतिता भुवि
He crushed some with his chest, others with his thighs; some fell to the ground right there, merely from the sound he made.
ततस्तेष्ववसन् नेषु भूमौ निपतितेषु च। तत्सैन्यमगमत् सर्वं दिशो दश भयार्दितम्
Then, as those who remained fell to the ground, all that army, struck with fear, scattered in all ten directions.
विनेदुर्विस्वरं नागा निपेतुर्भुवि वाजिनः। भग्ननीडध्वजच्छत्रैर्भूश्च कीर्णाभवद् रथैः
The elephants wailed with harsh voices, the horses collapsed to the earth, and the ground became strewn with chariots whose banners, standards, and canopies were shattered.
स्रवता रुधिरेणाथ स्रवन्त्यो दर्शिताः पथि। विविधैश्च स्वनैर्लङ्का ननाद विकृतं तदा
Blood flowed and was seen on the path, and various strange sounds arose as Lanka roared in a dreadful manner.
स तान् प्रवृद्धान् विनिहत्य राक्षसान् महाबलश्चण्डपराक्रमः कपिः। युयुत्सुरन्यैः पुनरेव राक्षसै- स्तदेव वीरोऽभिजगाम तोरणम्
Having slain those mighty rakshasas, that great and fiercely valiant monkey, eager for battle with the remaining rakshasas, once again approached the same gateway.
इत्यार्षे श्रीमद्रामायणे वाल्मीकीये आदिकाव्ये सुन्दरकाण्डे पञ्चचत्वारिंशः सर्गः ।। ५.
Thus ends the forty-fifth sarga in the Sundara Kanda of the glorious Ramayana, the first poem, composed by the sage Valmiki.

Hear now the forty-sixth sarga in the Sundara Kanda of the glorious Valmiki Ramayana.
हतान् मन्त्रिसुतान् बुद्ध्वा वानरेण महात्मना। रावणः संवृताकारश्चकार मतिमुत्तमाम्
Learning that the sons of his ministers had been slain by the great-souled monkey, Ravana, concealing his thoughts, devised an excellent plan.
स विरूपाक्षयूपाक्षौ दुर्धरं चैव राक्षसम्। प्रघसं भासकर्णं च पञ्च सेनाग्रनायकान्
He summoned Virupaksha, Yupaksha, the rakshasa Durdhara, Praghasa, and Bhasakarna—five commanders of the army.
संदिदेश दशग्रीवो वीरान् नयविशारदान्। हनूमद्ग्रहणेऽव्यग्रान् वायुवेगसमान् युधि
The ten-headed one instructed these heroes, skilled in strategy and undisturbed in battle, equal to the wind in speed, to capture Hanuman.
यात सेनाग्रगाः सर्वे महाबलपरिग्रहाः। सवाजिरथमातङ्गाः स कपिः शास्यतामिति
Go forth, all you leaders of the army, with your great forces—horses, chariots, and elephants—and subdue that monkey.
यत्तैश्च खलु भाव्यं स्यात् तमासाद्य वनालयम्। कर्म चापि समाधेयं देशकालाविरोधितम्
Whatever must be done upon confronting that forest-dweller, let that action be carried out, in accordance with place and time.
न ह्यहं तं कपिं मन्ये कर्मणा प्रति तर्कयन्। सर्वथा तन्महद् भूतं महाबलपरिग्रहम्
For, considering his deeds, I do not think that monkey is ordinary; in every way, he possesses immense might.
वानरोऽयमिति ज्ञात्वा नहि शुद्ध्यति मे मनः। नैवाहं तं कपिं मन्ये यथेयं प्रस्तुता कथा
Knowing that he is a monkey does not put my mind at ease; nor do I consider him as he is described in this account.
