राजन् स कालसंकाशः संयुक्तः कालकर्मणा। विद्राव्य वानरीं सेनां भक्षयित्वा च वानरान्
O King, he, resembling Death itself and joined with the work of Death, scattered the army of monkeys and devoured many of them.
प्रतपित्वा मुहूर्तं तु प्रशान्तो रामतेजसा। कायेनार्धप्रविष्टेन समुद्रं भीमदर्शनम्
After scorching the enemy for a time, he was subdued by Rāma’s splendor; with half his body sunk into the dreadful sea, he became still.
निकृत्तनासाकर्णेन विक्षरद्रुधिरेण च। रुद्ध्वा द्वारं शरीरेण लङ्कायाः पर्वतोपमः
His nose and ears cut off, blood streaming, he blocked the gate of Laṅkā with his mountain-like body.
कुम्भकर्णस्तव भ्राता काकुत्स्थशरपीडितः। अगण्डभूतो विवृतो दावदग्ध इव द्रुमः
Kumbhakarṇa, your brother, afflicted by Kākutstha’s arrows, lay disfigured and exposed, like a tree scorched by fire.
श्रुत्वा विनिहतं संख्ये कुम्भकर्णं महाबलम्। रावणः शोकसंतप्तो मुमोह च पपात च
Hearing that mighty Kumbhakarṇa had been slain in battle, Rāvaṇa, tormented by grief, fainted and fell.
पितृव्यं निहतं श्रुत्वा देवान्तकनरान्तकौ। त्रिशिराश्चातिकायश्च रुरुदुः शोकपीडिताः
Hearing that their uncle had been killed, Devāntaka, Narāntaka, Triśiras, and Atikāya wept, overcome by sorrow.
भ्रातरं निहतं श्रुत्वा रामेणाक्लिष्टकर्मणा। महोदरमहापार्श्वौ शोकाक्रान्तौ बभूवतुः
Hearing that their brother had been slain by Rāma, whose deeds are unblemished, Mahodara and Mahāpārśva were seized by grief.
ततः कृच्छ्रात् समासाद्य संज्ञां राक्षसपुङ्गवः। कुम्भकर्णवधाद् दीनो विललापाकुलेन्द्रियः
Then, after great difficulty regaining consciousness, the foremost of rākṣasas, stricken by Kumbhakarṇa’s death, lamented with senses bewildered.
हा वीर रिपुदर्पघ्न कुम्भकर्ण महाबल। त्वं मां विहाय वै दैवाद् यातोऽसि यमसादनम्
Alas, mighty Kumbhakarṇa, destroyer of enemy pride, hero—by fate you have left me and gone to the abode of Yama.
मम शल्यमनुद्धृत्य बान्धवानां महाबल। शत्रुसैन्यं प्रताप्यैकः क्व मां संत्यज्य गच्छसि
Having removed the thorn from my side and those of our kin, mighty one, and scorched the enemy army alone, where do you go, leaving me behind?
इदानीं खल्वहं नास्मि यस्य मे पतितो भुजः। दक्षिणोऽयं समाश्रित्य न बिभेमि सुरासुरात्
Now, truly, I am not myself, for my right arm, on which I relied, has fallen; I do not fear gods or demons.
कथमेवंविधो वीरो देवदानवदर्पहा। कालाग्निप्रतिमो ह्यद्य राघवेण रणे हतः
How could such a hero, destroyer of the pride of gods and demons, like the fire of time, be slain today in battle by Rāghava?
यस्य ते वज्रनिष्पेषो न कुर्याद् व्यसनं सदा। स कथं रामबाणार्तः प्रसुप्तोऽसि महीतले
He whom even the blow of a thunderbolt could never harm—how is it that, wounded by Rāma’s arrows, you now lie asleep upon the earth?
एते देवगणाः सार्धमृषिभिर्गगने स्थिताः। निहतं त्वां रणे दृष्ट्वा निनदन्ति प्रहर्षिताः
These hosts of gods, together with the sages, stand in the sky; seeing you slain in battle, they cry out in delight.
ध्रुवमद्यैव संहृष्टा लब्धलक्षाः प्लवंगमाः। आरोक्ष्यन्तीह दुर्गाणि लङ्काद्वाराणि सर्वशः
Surely today, the monkeys, overjoyed and having achieved their aim, will storm all the fortresses and gates of Lanka here.
राज्येन नास्ति मे कार्यं किं करिष्यामि सीतया। कुम्भकर्णविहीनस्य जीविते नास्ति मे मतिः
I have no concern for the kingdom, nor for Sita—what shall I do with her? With Kumbhakarna gone, I have no desire to live.
यद्यहं भ्रातृहन्तारं न हन्मि युधि राघवम्। ननु मे मरणं श्रेयो न चेदं व्यर्थजीवितम्
If I do not slay Rama, my brother's killer, in battle, then surely death is better for me than this wasted life.
अद्यैव तं गमिष्यामि देशं यत्रानुजो मम। नहि भ्रातॄन् समुत्सृज्य क्षणं जीवितुमुत्सहे
Today itself I will go to the place where my younger brother is, for I cannot endure living even a moment, having abandoned my brothers.
देवा हि मां हसिष्यन्ति दृष्ट्वा पूर्वापकारिणम्। कथमिन्द्रं जयिष्यामि कुम्भकर्ण हते त्वयि
The gods will surely mock me, seeing me who first wronged them; how shall I conquer Indra, now that you, Kumbhakarna, are slain?
तदिदं मामनुप्राप्तं विभीषणवचः शुभम्। यदज्ञानान्मया तस्य न गृहीतं महात्मनः
Thus, this good counsel of Vibhishana has come to me now—yet, out of ignorance, I did not heed that great soul's advice.
विभीषणवचस्तावत् कुम्भकर्णप्रहस्तयोः। विनाशोऽयं समुत्पन्नो मां व्रीडयति दारुणः
Because I ignored Vibhishana's words, this destruction of Kumbhakarna and Prahasta has arisen, and it brings me terrible shame.
तस्यायं कर्मणः प्राप्तो विपाको मम शोकदः। यन्मया धार्मिकः श्रीमान् स निरस्तो विभीषणः
This is the bitter fruit of my deed, bringing me sorrow: that I drove away the righteous and illustrious Vibhishana.
इति बहुविधमाकुलान्तरात्मा कृपणमतीव विलप्य कुम्भकर्णम्। न्यपतदपि दशाननो भृशार्त- स्तमनुजमिन्द्ररिपुं हतं विदित्वा
Thus, with his heart greatly troubled, lamenting most pitiably, Ravana, deeply afflicted, fell down beside his brother Kumbhakarna, having learned that the foe of Indra was slain.
thumb|एकोनसप्ततितमः सर्गः श्रूयताम्|center श्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे युद्धकाण्डे एकोनसप्ततितमः सर्गः ॥६-
Hear now the sixty-ninth sarga in the glorious Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, Yuddha Kāṇḍa.
एवं विलपमानस्य रावणस्य दुरात्मनः। श्रुत्वा शोकाभिभूतस्य त्रिशिरा वाक्यमब्रवीत्
Hearing Ravana, that wicked soul, lamenting in grief, Trishira spoke these words.
एवमेव महावीर्यो हतो नस्तातमध्यमः। न तु सत्पुरुषा राजन् विलपन्ति यथा भवान्
Indeed, our mighty hero, the best among fathers, has been slain; but noble men, O King, do not lament as you do.
नूनं त्रिभुवनस्यापि पर्याप्तस्त्वमसि प्रभो। स कस्मात् प्राकृत इव शोचस्यात्मानमीदृशम्
Surely, you are sufficient even for the three worlds, O Lord; so why do you grieve for yourself like an ordinary man?
ब्रह्मदत्तास्ति ते शक्तिः कवचं सायको धनुः। सहस्रखरसंयुक्तो रथो मेघसमस्वनः
You possess a power granted by Brahma, armor, arrows, and a bow; your chariot, joined with a thousand mules, resounds like a thundercloud.
त्वयासकृद्धि शस्त्रेण विशस्ता देवदानवाः। स सर्वायुधसम्पन्नो राघवं शास्तुमर्हसि
You have often struck down gods and demons with your weapons; so, equipped with all arms, you should subdue Rama.
कामं तिष्ठ महाराज निर्गमिष्याम्यहं रणे। उद्धरिष्यामि ते शत्रून् गरुडः पन्नगानिव
Stay as you wish, great king; I myself will go forth to battle and will sweep away your enemies as Garuda does serpents.
