इमां हत्वा ततो रामं लक्ष्मणं त्वां च वानर। सुग्रीवं च वधिष्यामि तं चानार्यं विभीषणम्
After killing her, I will then slay Rama, Lakshmana, you, O monkey, Sugriva, and that ignoble Vibhishana.
न हन्तव्याः स्त्रियश्चेति यद् ब्रवीषि प्लवंगम। पीडाकरममित्राणां यच्च कर्तव्यमेव तत्
You say, 'Women must not be killed,' O monkey; but whatever brings pain to enemies must indeed be done.
तमेवमुक्त्वा रुदतीं सीतां मायामयीं च ताम्। शितधारेण खड्गेन निजघानेन्द्रजित् स्वयम्
Having spoken thus, Indrajit himself struck down the weeping, illusory Sita with his sharp-edged sword.
यज्ञोपवीतमार्गेण छिन्ना तेन तपस्विनी। सा पृथिव्यां पृथुश्रोणी पपात प्रियदर्शना
By the path of her sacred thread, that ascetic woman was cut down; she, broad-hipped and lovely to behold, fell to the earth.
तामिन्द्रजित् स्त्रियं हत्वा हनूमन्तमुवाच ह। मया रामस्य पश्येमां प्रियां शस्त्रनिषूदिताम्। एषा विशस्ता वैदेही निष्फलो वः परिश्रमः
Having slain that woman, Indrajit said to Hanuman: 'See here Rama's beloved, struck down by my weapon; Vaidehi is slain—your efforts are in vain.'
ततः खड्गेन महता हत्वा तामिन्द्रजित्स्वयम्। हृष्टः स रथमास्थाय ननाद च महास्वनम्
Then Indrajit himself, with a great sword, struck her down; rejoicing, he mounted his chariot and roared with a mighty sound.
वानराः शुश्रुवुः शब्दमदूरे प्रत्यवस्थिताः। व्यादितास्यस्य नदतस्तद्दुर्गं संश्रितस्य तु
The monkeys, stationed not far away, heard the sound of his roaring, his mouth wide open as he took refuge in that stronghold.
तथा तु सीतां विनिहत्य दुर्मतिः प्रहृष्टचेताः स बभूव रावणिः। तं हृष्टरूपं समुदीक्ष्य वानरा विषण्णरूपाः समभिप्रदुद्रुवुः
Thus, after slaying Sita, that wicked-minded son of Ravana became exceedingly glad; seeing him in such a joyful state, the monkeys, filled with despair, fled in all directions.
इत्यार्षे श्रीमद्रामायणे वाल्मीकीये आदिकाव्ये युद्धकाण्डे एकाशीतितमः सर्गः
Thus ends the eighty-first sarga in the Yuddha Kāṇḍa of the glorious Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, the first epic.
thumb|द्व्यशीततमः सर्गः श्रूयताम्|center श्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे युद्धकाण्डे द्व्यशीततमः सर्गः ॥६-
Let the eighty-second sarga now be heard in the glorious Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, Yuddha Kāṇḍa.
श्रुत्वा तु भीमनिर्ह्रादं शक्राशनिसमस्वनम्। वीक्ष्यमाणा दिशः सर्वा दुद्रुवुर्वानरा भृशम्
Hearing that terrible roar, like the thunder of Indra's bolt, the monkeys, looking in all directions, fled in great panic.
तानुवाच ततः सर्वान् हनूमान् मारुतात्मजः। विषण्णवदनान् दीनांस्त्रस्तान् विद्रवतः पृथक्
Then Hanuman, the son of the wind, addressed all those monkeys, who were fleeing separately, their faces downcast, dejected and afraid.
कस्माद् विषण्णवदना विद्रवध्वं प्लवंगमाः। त्यक्तयुद्धसमुत्साहाः शूरत्वं क्व नु वो गतम्
Why are you fleeing, O monkeys, with faces so downcast? Where has your courage gone, abandoning your enthusiasm for battle?
पृष्ठतोऽनुव्रजध्वं मामग्रतो यान्तमाहवे। शूरैरभिजनोपेतैरयुक्तं हि निवर्तितुम्
Follow me from behind as I go forward into the battle; it is not fitting for the brave and noble to turn back.
एवमुक्ताः सुसंक्रुद्धा वायुपुत्रेण धीमता। शैलशृङ्गान् द्रुमांश्चैव जगृहुर्हृष्टमानसाः
Thus addressed by the wise son of the wind, they became greatly enraged; their hearts uplifted, they seized mountain peaks and trees.
अभिपेतुश्च गर्जन्तो राक्षसान् वानरर्षभाः। परिवार्य हनूमन्तमन्वयुश्च महाहवे
Roaring, the foremost of the monkeys rushed at the rākṣasas, surrounding Hanuman and following him into the great battle.
स तैर्वानरमुख्यैस्तु हनूमान् सर्वतो वृतः। हुताशन इवार्चिष्मानदहच्छत्रुवाहिनीम्
Thus surrounded on all sides by those leading monkeys, Hanuman blazed like fire, burning the enemy host.
स राक्षसानां कदनं चकार सुमहाकपिः। वृतो वानरसैन्येन कालान्तकयमोपमः
That great monkey, surrounded by the monkey army and resembling Death at the end of time, wrought destruction among the rākṣasas.
स तु शोकेन चाविष्टः कोपेन महता कपिः। हनूमान् रावणिरथे महतीं पातयच्छिलाम्
Then Hanuman, seized by great grief and anger, hurled a massive rock at Ravana's chariot.
तामापतन्तीं दृष्ट्वैव रथः सारथिना तदा। विधेयाश्वसमायुक्तः विदूरमपवाहितः
Seeing it falling, the charioteer quickly drove the chariot, yoked with well-trained horses, far away.
तमिन्द्रजितमप्राप्य रथस्थं सहसारथिम्। विवेश धरणीं भित्त्वा सा शिला व्यर्थमुद्यता
That rock, missing Indrajit who stood in the chariot with his charioteer, struck the earth after piercing it, its effort wasted.
पतितायां शिलायां तु व्यथिता रक्षसां चमूः। निपतन्त्या च शिलया राक्षसा मथिता भृशम्
When the rock fell, the army of rākṣasas was shaken; as it crashed down, many rākṣasas were greatly crushed.
तमभ्यधावन् शतशो नदन्तः काननौकसः। ते द्रुमांश्च महाकाया गिरिशृङ्गाणि चोद्यताः
Then hundreds of forest-dwelling monkeys, roaring, charged at him, brandishing trees and mountain peaks.
क्षिपन्तीन्द्रजितं संख्ये वानरा भीमविक्रमाः। वृक्षशैलमहावर्षं विसृजन्तः प्लवंगमाः
In the battle, the mighty and terrifying monkeys hurled trees, mountains, and a great rain of missiles at Indrajit.
शत्रूणां कदनं चक्रुर्नेदुश्च विविधैः स्वनैः। वानरैस्तैर्महाभीमैर्घोररूपा निशाचराः
They slaughtered the enemies and roared with various sounds; those dreadful night-dwellers were struck by those fierce monkeys.
वीर्यादभिहता वृक्षैर्व्यचेष्टन्त रणक्षितौ। स सैन्यमभिवीक्ष्याथ वानरार्दितमिन्द्रजित्
Struck down by the monkeys' strength and their trees, the demons writhed on the battlefield; then Indrajit, seeing his army afflicted by the monkeys—
प्रगृहीतायुधः क्रुद्धः परानभिमुखो ययौ। स शरौघानवसृजन् स्वसैन्येनाभिसंवृतः
Seized his weapons in anger, turned toward the enemy, and, surrounded by his own troops, released volleys of arrows.
जघान कपिशार्दूलान् सुबहून् दृढविक्रमः। शूलैरशनिभिः खड्गैः पट्टिशैः शूलमुद्गरैः
With firm valor, he struck down many tiger-like monkeys with spears, maces, swords, lances, and sharp spikes.
ते चाप्यनुचरांस्तस्य वानरा जघ्नुराहवे। सुस्कन्धविटपैः शैलैः शिलाभिश्च महाबलः
But the mighty monkeys also killed his followers in battle with strong branches, tree-trunks, mountains, and rocks.
हनूमान् कदनं चक्रे रक्षसां भीमकर्मणाम्। संनिवार्य परानीकमब्रवीत् तान् वनौकसः
Hanuman wrought destruction among the terrifying and mighty demons; restraining the opposing army, he spoke to the forest-dwellers.
