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.
स विद्धो दशभिर्बाणैर्महाकार्मुकनिःसृतैः। रावणेन महातेजा न प्राकम्पत राघवः
Struck by ten arrows shot from Ravana's great bow, Rama, mighty in splendor, did not waver.
ततो विव्याध गात्रेषु सर्वेषु समितिंजयः। राघवस्तु सुसंक्रुद्धो रावणं बहुभिः शरैः
Then Rama, victorious in battle and deeply enraged, struck Ravana with many arrows all over his body.
एतस्मिन्नन्तरे क्रुद्धो राघवस्यानुजो बली। लक्ष्मणः सायकान् सप्त जग्राह परवीरहा
At that moment, Lakshmana, Rama's powerful younger brother, seized seven arrows in his wrath, slayer of enemy heroes.
तैः सायकैर्महावेगै रावणस्य महाद्युतिः। ध्वजं मनुष्यशीर्षं तु तस्य चिच्छेद नैकधा
With those swift arrows, Lakshmana of great brilliance cut down Ravana's banner, which bore a human head, in many pieces.
सारथेश्चापि बाणेन शिरो ज्वलितकुण्डलम्। जहार लक्ष्मणः श्रीमान् नैर्ऋतस्य महाबलः
Lakshmana, illustrious and mighty, also struck off the head of Ravana's charioteer, adorned with blazing earrings, with an arrow.
तस्य बाणैश्च चिच्छेद धनुर्गजकरोपमम्। लक्ष्मणो राक्षसेन्द्रस्य पञ्चभिर्निशितैस्तदा
Then Lakshmana, with five sharp arrows, cut down the bow of the rakshasa king, massive as an elephant's trunk.
नीलमेघनिभांश्चास्य सदश्वान् पर्वतोपमान्। जघानाप्लुत्य गदया रावणस्य विभीषणः
Vibhishana leapt up and, with his mace, struck down Ravana's steeds—dark as rain clouds, massive as mountains.
हताश्वात् तु तदा वेगादवप्लुत्य महारथात्। कोपमाहारयत् तीव्रं भ्रातरं प्रति रावणः
When his horses were slain, Ravana leapt swiftly from his great chariot and was seized by fierce anger against his brother.
ततः शक्तिं महाशक्तिः प्रदीप्तामशनीमिव। विभीषणाय चिक्षेप राक्षसेन्द्रः प्रतापवान्
Then the mighty Ravana, lord of rakshasas, hurled at Vibhishana a blazing spear, like a thunderbolt.
अप्राप्तामेव तां बाणैस्त्रिभिश्चिच्छेद लक्ष्मणः। अथोदतिष्ठत् संनादो वानराणां महारणे
But before it reached him, Lakshmana cut it down with three arrows, and then a great roar rose from the vanaras on the battlefield.
