मूर्ध्नि चैनमुपाघ्राय भूयः संस्पृश्य च त्वरन्। उवाच लक्ष्मणं वाक्यमाश्वास्य पुरुषर्षभः
Rāma, the best of men, quickly smelled his head and touched him again, then spoke words of comfort to Lakṣmaṇa.
कृतं परमकल्याणं कर्म दुष्करकर्मणा। अद्य मन्ये हते पुत्रे रावणं निहतं युधि
"You have performed a supremely auspicious and difficult deed. Now, with the enemy's son slain, I consider Rāvaṇa himself as good as killed in battle."
अद्याहं विजयी शत्रौ हते तस्मिन् दुरात्मनि। रावणस्य नृशंसस्य दिष्ट्या वीर त्वया रणे
"Today I am victorious over the enemy, since that wicked Rāvaṇa's son has been slain by you in battle, O hero, by fortune's favor."
छिन्नो हि दक्षिणो बाहुः स हि तस्य व्यपाश्रयः। विभीषणहनूमद्भ्यां कृतं कर्म महद् रणे
"His right arm, which was his main support, has been severed. A great deed has been accomplished in battle by Vibhīṣaṇa and Hanumān."
अहोरात्रैस्त्रिभिर्वीरः कथंचिद् विनिपातितः। निरमित्रः कृतोऽस्म्यद्य निर्यास्यति हि रावणः
"In three days and nights, the hero has somehow been brought down. Now I am free of enemies; Rāvaṇa will surely depart."
बलव्यूहेन महता निर्यास्यति हि रावणः। बलव्यूहेन महता श्रुत्वा पुत्रं निपातितम्
Rāvaṇa will come forth with a great battle formation, having heard that his son has been slain, with a mighty array of troops.
तं पुत्रवधसंतप्तं निर्यान्तं राक्षसाधिपम्। बलेनावृत्य महता निहनिष्यामि दुर्जयम्
I will surround that lord of the rākṣasas, who is tormented by his son's death and coming out to fight, with a great force and slay the difficult-to-conquer one.
त्वया लक्ष्मण नाथेन सीता च पृथिवी च मे। न दुष्प्रापा हते तस्मिन् शक्रजेतरि चाहवे
With you, Lakṣmaṇa, as my protector, neither Sītā nor the earth is unattainable for me, once that slayer of Indra is killed in battle.
स तं भ्रातरमाश्वास्य परिष्वज्य च राघवः। रामः सुषेणं मुदितः समाभाष्येदमब्रवीत्
Then Rāma, comforting and embracing his brother, joyfully spoke these words to Suṣeṇa.
विशल्योऽयं महाप्राज्ञ सौमित्रिर्मित्रवत्सलः। यथा भवति सुस्वस्थस्तथा त्वं समुपाचर
This wise Saumitri, dear to friends, is now free from arrows; tend to him so that he becomes completely healthy.
विशल्यः क्रियतां क्षिप्रं सौमित्रिः सविभीषणः। ऋक्षवानरसैन्यानां शूराणां द्रुमयोधिनाम्
Let Saumitri, along with Vibhīṣaṇa, be quickly freed from arrows, as well as the brave bear and monkey warriors who fight with trees.
ये चाप्यन्येऽत्र युध्यन्ति सशल्या व्रणिनस्तथा। तेऽपि सर्वे प्रयत्नेन क्रियन्ते सुखिनस्त्वया
And all the others here who are fighting, wounded and pierced by arrows—let all of them, too, be made well by your efforts.
एवमुक्तः स रामेण महात्मा हरियूथपः। लक्ष्मणाय ददौ नस्तः सुषेणः परमौषधम्
Thus addressed by Rāma, the great-hearted leader of the monkeys, Suṣeṇa, handed over the supreme medicine to Lakṣmaṇa.
स तस्य गन्धमाघ्राय विशल्यः समपद्यत। तदा निर्वेदनश्चैव संरूढव्रण एव च
After inhaling its fragrance, he became free from arrows, pain vanished, and his wounds were completely healed.
विभीषणमुखानां च सुहृदां राघवाज्ञया। सर्ववानरमुख्यानां चिकित्सामकरोत् तदा
Then, by Rāghava's command, he treated all the chief monkeys and friends, including Vibhīṣaṇa and his companions.
ततः प्रकृतिमापन्नो हृतशल्यो गतक्लमः। सौमित्रिर्मुमुदे तत्र क्षणेन विगतज्वरः
Regaining his natural state, freed from arrows and fatigue, Saumitri rejoiced there, his fever gone in an instant.
तदैव रामः प्लवगाधिपस्तथा विभीषणश्चर्क्षपतिश्च वीर्यवान्। अवेक्ष्य सौमित्रिमरोगमुत्थितं मुदा ससैन्याः सुचिरं जहर्षिरे
At that moment, Rāma, the monkey king, the mighty Vibhīṣaṇa, and the lord of the bears, seeing Saumitri risen and healthy, rejoiced greatly with their armies for a long time.
अपूजयत् कर्म स लक्ष्मणस्य सुदुष्करं दाशरथिर्महात्मा। बभूव हृष्टो युधि वानरेन्द्रो निशम्य तं शक्रजितं निपातितम्
The great-souled son of Daśaratha honored Lakṣmaṇa's deed, so hard to accomplish; the monkey king was delighted in battle, hearing that Indrajit had been slain.
thumb|द्विनवतितमः सर्गः श्रूयताम्|center श्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे युद्धकाण्डे द्विनवतितमः सर्गः ॥६-
Listen now to the ninety-second chapter in the glorious Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Yuddha Kāṇḍa.
ततः पौलस्त्यसचिवाः श्रुत्वा चेन्द्रजितो वधम्। आचचक्षुरभिज्ञाय दशग्रीवाय सत्वराः
Then, having learned of Indrajit's death, the ministers of the Paulastya clan quickly informed the ten-headed one.
युद्धे हतो महाराज लक्ष्मणेन तवात्मजः। विभीषणसहायेन मिषतां नो महाद्युतिः
Your son, O great king, has been slain in battle by Lakṣmaṇa, aided by Vibhīṣaṇa, before our very eyes.
शूरः शूरेण संगम्य संयुगेष्वपराजितः। लक्ष्मणेन हतः शूरः पुत्रस्ते विबुधेन्द्रजित्
Your heroic son, unconquered in battle, met the heroic Lakṣmaṇa and was slain by him, O Indrajit, subduer of the gods.
गतः स परमाँल्लोकान् शरैः संतर्प्य लक्ष्मणम्। स तं प्रतिभयं श्रुत्वा वधं पुत्रस्य दारुणम्
He has gone to the highest worlds, having satisfied Lakṣmaṇa with arrows; hearing of his son's dreadful death, he was overcome with terror.
घोरमिन्द्रजितः संख्ये कश्मलं प्राविशन्महत्। उपलभ्य चिरात् संज्ञां राजा राक्षसपुंगवः
Struck by the terrible Indrajit in battle, the great king of the rakshasas fell into deep confusion; after a long time, he regained consciousness.
पुत्रशोकाकुलो दीनो विललापाकुलेन्द्रियः। हा राक्षसचमूमुख्य मम वत्स महाबल
Overwhelmed by grief for his son, wretched, his senses distraught, he lamented: 'Ah, chief of the rakshasa army, my son, mighty one!'
जित्वेन्द्रं कथमद्य त्वं लक्ष्मणस्य वशं गतः। ननु त्वमिषुभिः क्रुद्धो भिन्द्याः कालान्तकावपि
Having conquered Indra, how is it that today you have fallen under Lakshmana's power? Surely, in your wrath, you could have pierced even Kala and Antaka with your arrows.
मन्दरस्यापि शृङ्गाणि किं पुनर्लक्ष्मणं युधि। अद्य वैवस्वतो राजा भूयो बहुमतो मम
You could shatter even the peaks of Mandara—what then of Lakshmana in battle? Today, the lord Yama is once again held in high regard by me.
येनाद्य त्वं महाबाहो संयुक्तः कालधर्मणा। एष पन्थाः सुयोधानां सर्वामरगणेष्वपि। यः कृते हन्यते भर्तुः स पुमान् स्वर्गमृच्छति
O mighty-armed one, by whom today you have been joined with the law of death—this is the path of all valiant warriors, even among the hosts of the immortals; he who is slain in his master's cause attains heaven.
अद्य देवगणाः सर्वे लोकपाला महर्षयः। हतमिन्द्रजितं श्रुत्वा सुखं स्वप्स्यन्ति निर्भयाः
Today, all the hosts of gods, the guardians of the worlds, and the great sages, hearing that Indrajit has been slain, will sleep peacefully, free from fear.
अद्य लोकास्त्रयः कृत्स्ना पृथिवी च सकानना। एकेनेन्द्रजिता हीना शून्येव प्रतिभाति मे
Today, the three worlds in their entirety, and the earth with its forests, deprived of Indrajit alone, seem to me as if empty.
