उभौ हि येन व्रजतस्तेन तेन शरोर्मयः। ऊर्मयो वायुना विद्धा जग्मुः सागरयोरिव
Wherever either advanced, there the waves of arrows, struck by the wind, surged like billows on the ocean.
ततः संसक्तहस्तस्तु रावणो लोकरावणः। नाराचमालां रामस्य ललाटे प्रत्यमुञ्चत
Then Ravana, the terror of the worlds, with hands engaged, launched a garland of iron arrows at Rama’s forehead.
रौद्रचापप्रयुक्तां तां नीलोत्पलदलप्रभाम्। शिरसाधारयद् रामो न व्यथामभ्यपद्यत
That weapon, charged from his terrible bow and shining like the petals of a blue lotus, Rama bore upon his head and did not waver.
अथ मन्त्रानपि जपन् रौद्रमस्त्रमुदीरयन्। शरान् भूयः समादाय रामः क्रोधसमन्वितः
Then, reciting mantras and invoking a fierce missile, Rama, filled with wrath, took up arrows once more.
मुमोच च महातेजाश्चापमायम्य वीर्यवान्। तान् शरान् राक्षसेन्द्राय चिक्षेपाच्छिन्नसायकः
The mighty and valiant Rama, drawing his bow, released those arrows—his shafts unbroken—against the king of the Rakshasas.
ते महामेघसंकाशे कवचे पतिताः शराः। अवध्ये राक्षसेन्द्रस्य न व्यथां जनयंस्तदा
Those arrows, falling upon the armor of the one resembling a great cloud, caused no distress at that time to the lord of the Rakshasas, who could not be slain.
पुनरेवाथ तं रामो रथस्थं राक्षसाधिपम्। ललाटे परमास्त्रेण सर्वास्त्रकुशलोऽभिनत्
Then again, Rama, skilled in all weapons, struck the Rakshasa king standing in his chariot on the forehead with a supreme weapon.
ते भित्त्वा बाणरूपाणि पञ्चशीर्षा इवोरगाः। श्वसन्तो विविशुर्भूमिं रावणप्रतिकूलिताः
Those arrows, taking the form of serpents with five heads, pierced through and, hissing, entered the earth, repelled by Ravana.
निहत्य राघवस्यास्त्रं रावणः क्रोधमूर्च्छितः। आसुरं सुमहाघोरमस्त्रं प्रादुश्चकार सः
Having neutralized the weapon of Raghava, Ravana, overcome with wrath, unleashed a most dreadful Asura weapon.
सिंहव्याघ्रमुखांश्चापि कङ्ककोकमुखानपि। गृध्रश्येनमुखांश्चापि शृगालवदनांस्तथा
He released sharp arrows with faces of lions and tigers, as well as faces of cranes, owls, vultures, hawks, and jackals.
ईहामृगमुखांश्चापि व्यादितास्यान् भयावहान्। पञ्चास्याँल्लेलिहानांश्च ससर्ज निशितान् शरान्
He also released arrows with faces of antelopes, with gaping jaws, terrifying to behold, and five-faced ones licking their lips.
शरान् खरमुखांश्चान्यान् वराहमुखसंश्रितान्। श्वानकुक्कुटवक्त्रांश्च मकराशीविषाननान्
He sent forth other arrows with faces of donkeys, boars, dogs, cocks, crocodiles, and venomous serpents.
एतांश्चान्यांश्च मायाभिः ससर्ज निशिताञ्छरान्। रामं प्रति महातेजाः क्रुद्धः सर्प इव श्वसन्
And with illusions, he released many other sharp arrows, breathing like an angry serpent, against Rama, the one of great splendor.
आसुरेण समाविष्टः सोऽस्त्रेण रघुपुङ्गवः। ससर्जास्त्रं महोत्साहं पावकं पावकोपमः
Raghava, possessed by the Asura weapon, with great enthusiasm, released a weapon blazing like fire, himself resembling fire.
अग्निदीप्तमुखान् बाणांस्तत्र सूर्यमुखानपि। चन्द्रार्धचन्द्रवक्त्रांश्च धूमकेतुमुखानपि। ग्रहनक्षत्रवर्णांश्च महोल्कामुखसंस्थितान्
He released arrows with mouths glowing like fire, as well as those with faces like the sun, the moon, half-moon, comet, and those bearing the colors of planets, stars, and great meteors.
विद्युज्जिह्वोपमांश्चापि ससर्ज विविधाञ्छरान्। ते रावणशरा घोरा राघवास्त्रसमाहताः
He also released various arrows resembling tongues of lightning; those fierce arrows of Ravana were struck down by the weapon of Raghava.
विलयं जग्मुराकाशे जघ्नुश्चैव सहस्रशः। तदस्त्रं निहतं दृष्ट्वा रामेणाक्लिष्टकर्मणा
They vanished in the sky and were destroyed by the thousands; seeing that weapon defeated by Rama, whose actions were effortless,
हृष्टा नेदुस्ततः सर्वे कपयः कामरूपिणः। सुग्रीवाभिमुखा वीराः सम्परिक्षिप्य राघवम्
All the monkeys, capable of assuming any form, rejoiced and shouted, surrounding Raghava and facing Sugriva.
ततस्तदस्त्रं विनिहत्य राघवः प्रसह्य तद् रावणबाहुनिःसृतम्। मुदान्वितो दाशरथिर्महात्मा विनेदुरुच्चैर्मुदिताः कपीश्वराः
Then, having destroyed that weapon, Raghava, the great-souled son of Dasharatha, forcibly overcame the attack unleashed from Ravana's arms; the monkey chiefs, filled with joy, loudly shouted.
thumb|शततमः सर्गः श्रूयताम्|center श्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे युद्धकाण्डे शततमः सर्गः ॥६-
Let the hundredth chapter be heard in the glorious Valmiki Ramayana, in the Yuddha Kanda.
तस्मिन् प्रतिहतेऽस्त्रे तु रावणो राक्षसाधिपः। क्रोधं च द्विगुणं चक्रे क्रोधाच्चास्त्रमनन्तरम्
When that weapon was repelled, Ravana, lord of the Rakshasas, doubled his anger and, from that wrath, immediately prepared another weapon.
मयेन विहितं रौद्रमन्यदस्त्रं महाद्युतिः। उत्स्रष्टुं रावणो भीमं राघवाय प्रचक्रमे
Ravana, of great splendor, began to unleash a terrifying weapon, crafted by Maya, against Raghava.
ततः शूलानि निश्चेरुर्गदाश्च मुसलानि च। कार्मुकाद् दीप्यमानानि वज्रसाराणि सर्वशः
Then spears, maces, and clubs emerged, all blazing and made of adamant, from his bow.
मुद्गराः कूटपाशाश्च दीप्ताश्चाशनयस्तथा। निष्पेतुर्विविधास्तीक्ष्णा वाता इव युगक्षये
Maces, spiked nooses, and blazing hunger-missiles of many fierce kinds burst forth, sharp as winds at the end of an age.
तदस्त्रं राघवः श्रीमानुत्तमास्त्रविदां वरः। जघान परमास्त्रेण गान्धर्वेण महाद्युतिः
That weapon, Rama—glorious, foremost among masters of supreme weapons—destroyed with a most excellent Gandharva missile, radiant in his might.
तस्मिन् प्रतिहतेऽस्त्रे तु राघवेण महात्मना। रावणः क्रोधताम्राक्षः सौरमस्त्रमुदीरयत्
When that weapon was repelled by the great-souled Rama, Ravana, his eyes reddened with rage, unleashed the solar missile.
ततश्चक्राणि निष्पेतुर्भास्वराणि महान्ति च। कार्मुकाद् भीमवेगस्य दशग्रीवस्य धीमतः
Then, from the bow of ten-headed, wise Ravana of terrible speed, great and shining discs emerged.
तैरासीद् गगनं दीप्तं सम्पतद्भिः समन्ततः। पतद्भिश्च दिशो दीप्ताश्चन्द्रसूर्यग्रहैरिव
By those flying everywhere, the sky blazed, and the directions shone with falling, radiant missiles, like the sun, moon, and planets.
तानि चिच्छेद बाणौघैश्चक्राणि तु स राघवः। आयुधानि च चित्राणि रावणस्य चमूमुखे
Rama cut down those discs and Ravana's wondrous weapons at the front of the army with volleys of arrows.
तदस्त्रं तु हतं दृष्ट्वा रावणो राक्षसाधिपः। विव्याध दशभिर्बाणै रामं सर्वेषु मर्मसु
Seeing that weapon destroyed, Ravana, lord of the rakshasas, pierced Rama in all his vital points with ten arrows.
