अहमुत्सादयिष्यामि शत्रूंस्तव निशाचर। यदि शक्रविवस्वन्तौ यदि पावकमारुतौ। तावहं योधयिष्यामि कुबेरवरुणावपि
I will destroy your enemies, O night-wanderer, even if they are Indra and Vivasvat, or Fire and Wind; I will fight even Kubera and Varuṇa.
गिरिमात्रशरीरस्य महापरिघयोधिनः। नर्दतस्तीक्ष्णदंष्ट्रस्य बिभीयाद् वै पुरंदरः
Even Indra would be afraid of one whose body is like a mountain, who wields a great iron club, who roars, and whose fangs are sharp.
पुनर्मां स द्वितीयेन शरेण निहनिष्यति। ततोऽहं तस्य पास्यामि रुधिरं काममाश्वस
He will strike me again with a second arrow; then I will drink his blood as I desire, so be at ease.
वधेन वै दाशरथेः सुखावहं जयं तवाहर्तुमहं यतिष्ये। हत्वा च रामं सह लक्ष्मणेन खादामि सर्वान् हरियूथमुख्यान्
By killing the son of Daśaratha, I will strive to bring you victory that brings happiness; having slain Rāma together with Lakṣmaṇa, I will devour all the chief leaders of the monkey army.
रमस्व कामं पिब चाग्र्यवारुणीं कुरुष्व कार्याणि हितानि विज्वरः। मया तु रामे गमिते यमक्षयं चिराय सीता वशगा भविष्यति
Enjoy yourself as you wish, drink the finest liquor, and carry out beneficial tasks without anxiety; when I have sent Rāma to the abode of Yama, Sītā will be under your control for a long time.

Listen to the thirteenth sarga. Thus ends the thirteenth sarga in the Yuddha Kāṇḍa of the glorious Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa.
रावणं क्रुद्धमाज्ञाय महापार्श्वो महाबलः। मुहूर्तमनुसंचिन्त्य प्राञ्जलिर्वाक्यमब्रवीत्
Understanding that Rāvaṇa was enraged, the mighty Mahāpārśva, after reflecting for a moment, spoke with joined palms.
यः खल्वपि वनं प्राप्य मृगव्यालनिषेवितम्। न पिबेन्मधु सम्प्राप्य स नरो बालिशो भवेत्
Indeed, any man who, having reached a forest inhabited by deer and beasts, does not drink the honey he finds, would be a fool.
ईश्वरस्येश्वरः कोऽस्ति तव शत्रुनिबर्हण। रमस्व सह वैदेह्या शत्रूनाक्रम्य मूर्धसु
Who is lord over you, the subduer of enemies? Enjoy yourself with Vaidehī, having subdued your foes and placed your foot upon their heads.
बलात् कुक्कुटवृत्तेन प्रवर्तस्व महाबल। आक्रम्याक्रम्य सीतां वै तां भुङ्क्ष्व च रमस्व च
Act with force, O mighty one, like a cock among hens; seize Sītā again and again, enjoy her, and take your pleasure.
लब्धकामस्य ते पश्चादागमिष्यति किं भयम्। प्राप्तमप्राप्तकालं वा सर्वं प्रतिविधास्यसे
Once your desire is fulfilled, what fear can come to you afterwards? Whatever comes, whether timely or untimely, you will be able to handle it all.
कुम्भकर्णः सहास्माभिरिन्द्रजिच्च महाबलः। प्रतिषेधयितुं शक्तौ सवज्रमपि वज्रिणम्
Kumbhakarṇa, together with us, and the mighty Indrajit, are capable of opposing even the wielder of the thunderbolt, Indra, armed with his weapon.
उपप्रदानं सान्त्वं वा भेदं वा कुशलैः कृतम्। समतिक्रम्य दण्डेन सिद्धिमर्थेषु रोचये
Having surpassed all means—gifts, conciliation, or division—employed by the wise, I now prefer the use of punishment to achieve our aims.
इह प्राप्तान् वयं सर्वाञ्छत्रूंस्तव महाबल। वशे शस्त्रप्रतापेन करिष्यामो न संशयः
All your enemies who have come here, O mighty one, we shall subdue by the power of our weapons—there is no doubt.
एवमुक्तस्तदा राजा महापार्श्वेन रावणः। तस्य सम्पूजयन् वाक्यमिदं वचनमब्रवीत्
Thus addressed, King Rāvaṇa then honored Mahāpārśva's words and spoke this reply to him.
महापार्श्व निबोध त्वं रहस्यं किंचिदात्मनः। चिरवृत्तं तदाख्यास्ये यदवाप्तं पुरा मया
Mahāpārśva, listen as I reveal to you a certain secret of mine, something that happened long ago, which I once obtained.
पितामहस्य भवनं गच्छन्तीं पुञ्जिकस्थलाम्। चञ्चूर्यमाणामद्राक्षमाकाशेऽग्निशिखामिव
Once, I saw Puñjikasthalā, as she was going to the house of Brahmā, shining in the sky like a tongue of flame, her wings fluttering.
सा प्रसह्य मया भुक्ता कृता विवसना ततः। स्वयम्भूभवनं प्राप्ता लोलिता नलिनी यथा
I overpowered her and violated her, stripping her of her garments; then, like a swaying lotus, she reached the abode of the Self-born.
अद्यप्रभृति यामन्यां बलान्नारीं गमिष्यसि। तदा ते शतधा मूर्धा फलिष्यति न संशयः
From this day forward, if you force yourself upon another woman, then your head will split into a hundred pieces—there is no doubt.
इत्यहं तस्य शापस्य भीतः प्रसभमेव ताम्। नारोहये बलात् सीतां वैदेहीं शयने शुभे
Frightened by that curse, I have never forcibly made Sītā, the daughter of Videha, ascend my splendid bed.
सागरस्येव मे वेगो मारुतस्येव मे गतिः। नैतद् दाशरथिर्वेद ह्यासादयति तेन माम्
My speed is like the ocean's, my swiftness like the wind's; Daśaratha's son does not know this, nor can he reach me.
को हि सिंहमिवासीनं सुप्तं गिरिगुहाशये। क्रुद्धं मृत्युमिवासीनं प्रबोधयितुमिच्छति
Who would wish to awaken a lion sleeping in a mountain cave, or rouse death itself, seated in anger?
न मत्तो निर्गतान् बाणान् द्विजिह्वान् पन्नगानिव। रामः पश्यति संग्रामे तेन मामभिगच्छति
Rāma does not see the arrows that have gone forth from me in battle, like venomous serpents with two tongues; thus he approaches me.
क्षिप्रं वज्रसमैर्बाणैः शतधा कार्मुकच्युतैः। राममादीपयिष्यामि उल्काभिरिव कुञ्जरम्
Soon, with arrows as hard as thunderbolts, shot from my bow, I will set Rāma ablaze, like meteors burning an elephant.
तच्चास्य बलमादास्ये बलेन महता वृतः। उदितः सविता काले नक्षत्राणां प्रभामिव
I will seize his strength, surrounded by my great power, just as the risen sun at dawn takes away the brilliance of the stars.
न वासवेनापि सहस्रचक्षुषा युधास्मि शक्यो वरुणेन वा पुनः। मया त्वियं बाहुबलेन निर्जिता पुरा पुरी वैश्रवणेन पालिता
Not even Indra, the thousand-eyed, nor Varuṇa, can defeat me in battle; long ago, I conquered this city, once ruled by Vaiśravaṇa, with the strength of my arms.

Listen now to the fourteenth sarga in the glorious Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, Yuddha Kāṇḍa.
निशाचरेन्द्रस्य निशम्य वाक्यं स कुम्भकर्णस्य च गर्जितानि। विभीषणो राक्षसराजमुख्य- मुवाच वाक्यं हितमर्थयुक्तम्
Hearing the words of the lord of the night-wanderers and the roars of Kumbhakarṇa, Vibhīṣaṇa, chief among the rākṣasas, spoke words that were beneficial and full of meaning.
वृतो हि बाह्वन्तरभोगराशि- श्चिन्ताविषः सुस्मिततीक्ष्णदंष्ट्रः। पञ्चाङ्गुलीपञ्चशिरोऽतिकायः सीतामहाहिस्तव केन राजन्
Surrounded by coils of arms, filled with the poison of anxiety, with sharp teeth revealed in a slight smile, five-fingered, five-headed, and of immense size—by whom, O king, is your great serpent Sītā possessed?
यावन्न लङ्कां समभिद्रवन्ति बलीमुखाः पर्वतकूटमात्राः। दंष्ट्रायुधाश्चैव नखायुधाश्च प्रदीयतां दाशरथाय मैथिली
Before the foremost warriors, as massive as mountain peaks, armed with fangs and claws, rush upon Lanka, let Maithili be given to the son of Dasharatha.
