स योजनसहस्राणि समतीत्य महाकपिः। दिव्यौषधिधरं शैलं व्यचरन्मारुतात्मजः
Having crossed thousands of leagues, the great monkey, son of the wind, roamed the divine, herb-bearing mountain.
महौषध्यस्ततः सर्वास्तस्मिन् पर्वतसत्तमे। विज्ञायार्थिनमायान्तं ततो जग्मुरदर्शनम्
Then all the great medicinal herbs on that foremost mountain, perceiving the seeker approaching, became invisible.
स ता महात्मा हनुमानपश्यं- श्चुकोप रोषाच्च भृशं ननाद। अमृष्यमाणोऽग्निसमानचक्षु- र्महीधरेन्द्रं तमुवाच वाक्यम्
That great-souled Hanuman, not seeing them, grew angry and roared loudly in his wrath; unable to bear it, his eyes blazing like fire, he spoke to that lord of mountains.
किमेतदेवं सुविनिश्चितं ते यद् राघवे नासि कृतानुकम्पः। पश्याद्य मद्बाहुबलाभिभूतो विकीर्णमात्मानमथो नगेन्द्र
How is it that you are so firmly resolved not to show compassion to Rāghava? Today, overwhelmed by the strength of my arms, you will see yourself scattered, O king of mountains.
स तस्य शृङ्गं सनगं सनागं सकाञ्चनं धातुसहस्रजुष्टम्। विकीर्णकूटं ज्वलिताग्रसानुं प्रगृह्य वेगात् सहसोन्ममाथ
He seized its peak—along with its forests, elephants, and golden ores, adorned with thousands of minerals, its summits shattered and its crest blazing—and wrenched it up with great force.
स तं समुत्पाट्य खमुत्पपात वित्रास्य लोकान् ससुरासुरेन्द्रान्। संस्तूयमानः खचरैरनेकै- र्जगाम वेगाद् गरुडोग्रवेगः
Uprooting that mountain, he leapt into the sky, terrifying all the worlds, including the lords of gods and demons. Praised by many sky-dwellers, he sped onward with the fierce swiftness of Garuḍa.
स भास्कराध्वानमनुप्रपन्न- स्तं भास्कराभं शिखरं प्रगृह्य। बभौ तदा भास्करसंनिकाशो रवेः समीपे प्रतिभास्कराभः
He entered the path of the sun, holding that sun-bright peak. At that moment, he shone like the sun itself, radiant near the sun, resembling a second sun.
स तेन शैलेन भृशं रराज शैलोपमो गन्धवहात्मजस्तु। सहस्रधारेण सपावकेन चक्रेण खे विष्णुरिवार्पितेन
With that mountain, the son of the wind-god shone brilliantly, resembling a mountain himself. With a thousand blazing streams, he looked like Viṣṇu in the sky, wielding his fiery discus.
तं वानराः प्रेक्ष्य तदा विनेदुः स तानपि प्रेक्ष्य मुदा ननाद। तेषां समुत्कृष्टरवं निशम्य लङ्कालया भीमतरं विनेदुः
Seeing him then, the monkeys shouted with joy; and seeing them, he too roared in delight. Hearing their triumphant cries, the residents of Laṅkā wailed even more fearfully.
ततो महात्मा निपपात तस्मिन् शैलोत्तमे वानरसैन्यमध्ये। हर्युत्तमेभ्यः शिरसाभिवाद्य विभीषणं तत्र च सस्वजे सः
Then the great-souled one descended onto that lofty mountain, in the midst of the monkey army. Bowing his head to the foremost monkeys, he embraced Vibhīṣaṇa there.
तावप्युभौ मानुषराजपुत्रौ तं गन्धमाघ्राय महौषधीनाम्। बभूवतुस्तत्र तदा विशल्या- वुत्तस्थुरन्ये च हरिप्रवीराः
Then both sons of the human king, inhaling the fragrance of those great medicinal herbs, were healed of their wounds; and the other foremost monkeys also rose up, restored.
यदाप्रभृति लङ्कायां युध्यन्ते हरिराक्षसाः। तदाप्रभृति मानार्थमाज्ञया रावणस्य च
From the time the monkeys and rākṣasas began to fight in Laṅkā, by Rāvaṇa's command and for the sake of honor,
ये हन्यन्ते रणे तत्र राक्षसाः कपिकुञ्जरैः। हता हतास्तु क्षिप्यन्ते सर्व एव तु सागरे
All the rākṣasas who are slain there in battle by monkeys or bears are cast into the sea, every one of them, as soon as they fall.
ततो हरिर्गन्धवहात्मजस्तु तमोषधीशैलमुदग्रवेगः। निनाय वेगाद्धिमवन्तमेव पुनश्च रामेण समाजगाम
Then Hanumān, the son of the wind-god, with tremendous speed, carried the mountain of medicinal herbs back to Himavat, and then returned again to Rāma.
thumb|पञ्चसप्ततितमः सर्गः श्रूयताम्|center श्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे युद्धकाण्डे पञ्चसप्ततितमः सर्गः ॥६-
Listen now to the seventy-fifth sarga in the glorious Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, Yuddha Kāṇḍa.
ततोऽब्रवीन्महातेजाः सुग्रीवो वानरेश्वरः। अर्थ्यं विज्ञापयंश्चापि हनूमन्तमिदं वचः
Then Sugrīva, the mighty and radiant king of the monkeys, spoke these words to Hanumān, making a request:
यतो हतः कुम्भकर्णः कुमाराश्च निषूदिताः। नेदानीमुपनिर्हारं रावणो दातुमर्हति
Since Kumbhakarṇa has been slain and the princes have been destroyed, Rāvaṇa is no longer likely to offer surrender now.
ये ये महाबलाः सन्ति लघवश्च प्लवंगमाः। लङ्कामभिपतन्त्वाशु गृह्योल्काः प्लवगर्षभाः
All the mighty and even the swift monkeys—let the best of the monkey warriors seize torches and quickly rush upon Laṅkā!
ततोऽस्तं गत आदित्ये रौद्रे तस्मिन् निशामुखे। लङ्कामभिमुखाः सोल्का जग्मुस्ते प्लवगर्षभाः
Then, as the sun set and night began, those foremost monkey warriors, torches in hand, advanced toward Laṅkā.
उल्काहस्तैर्हरिगणैः सर्वतः समभिद्रुताः। आरक्षस्था विरूपाक्षाः सहसा विप्रदुद्रुवुः
Assaulted on all sides by the monkey hosts wielding torches, the rākṣasas stationed as guards, with deformed eyes, suddenly fled in panic.
गोपुराट्टप्रतोलीषु चर्यासु विविधासु च। प्रासादेषु च संहृष्टाः ससृजुस्ते हुताशनम्
In gateways, towers, streets, and various quarters, and in the palaces, the jubilant monkeys set fire everywhere.
तेषां गृहसहस्राणि ददाह हुतभुक् तदा। प्रासादाः पर्वताकाराः पतन्ति धरणीतले
At that time, the Fire-god burned thousands of their houses; palace-mansions shaped like mountains collapsed onto the earth.
अगुरुर्दह्यते तत्र परं चैव सुचन्दनम्। मौक्तिका मणयः स्निग्धा वज्रं चापि प्रवालकम्
There, aloeswood was consumed by fire, as well as the finest sandalwood, lustrous pearls, smooth gems, diamonds, and coral.
क्षौमं च दह्यते तत्र कौशेयं चापि शोभनम्। आविकं विविधं चौर्णं काञ्चनं भाण्डमायुधम्
Linen was also burned there, along with beautiful silk, various woolen cloths, powdered substances, golden vessels, and weapons.
नानाविकृतसंस्थानं वाजिभाण्डपरिच्छदम्। गजग्रैवेयकक्ष्याश्च रथभाण्डांश्च संस्कृतान्
All sorts of horse equipment of diverse shapes, elephant armor and girths, and well-crafted chariot fittings were consumed.
तनुत्राणि च योधानां हस्त्यश्वानां च वर्म च। खड्गा धनूंषि ज्याबाणास्तोमराङ्कुशशक्तयः
The armor of warriors, the mail of elephants and horses, swords, bows, bowstrings, arrows, javelins, hooks, and spears—all were burned.
रोमजं वालजं चर्म व्याघ्रजं चाण्डजं बहु। मुक्तामणिविचित्रांश्च प्रासादांश्च समन्ततः
Hides from hair, wool, tiger skins, and many bird skins, as well as mansions adorned with pearls and gems, were destroyed on all sides.
विविधानस्त्रसंघातानग्निर्दहति तत्र वै। नानाविधान् गृहांश्चित्रान् ददाह हुतभुक् तदा
There, the fire consumed various collections of weapons, and at that time, the Fire-god burned many splendid and diverse houses.
आवासान् राक्षसानां च सर्वेषां गृहगृध्नुनाम्। हेमचित्रतनुत्राणां स्रग्भाण्डाम्बरधारिणाम्
He burned the dwellings of all the greedy rakshasas, who wore golden, decorated armor, garlands, ornaments, and garments.
सीधुपानचलाक्षाणां मदविह्वलगामिनाम्। कान्तालम्बितवस्त्राणां शत्रुसंजातमन्युनाम्
Of those who drank liquor and played dice, who wandered about intoxicated, whose garments hung from their beloveds, and whose anger had arisen from enmity.
