तथा चन्दनकाष्ठानि काष्ठानि विविधानि च। अगरूणि सुगन्धीनि गन्धांश्च सुरभींस्तथा
Likewise, he brought out sandalwood, various other types of wood, fragrant aloes, and other sweet-smelling scents.
मणिमुक्ताप्रवालानि निर्यापयति राक्षसः। आजगाम मुहूर्तेन राक्षसैः परिवारितः
The demon brought out jewels, pearls, and coral, and soon arrived surrounded by other demons.
ततो माल्यवता सार्धं क्रियामेव चकार सः। सौवर्णीं शिबिकां दिव्यामारोप्य क्षौमवाससम्
Then, together with Mālyavat, he performed the rites, placing Rāvaṇa, dressed in fine linen, on a splendid golden bier.
रावणं राक्षसाधीशमश्रुवर्णमुखा द्विजाः। तूर्यघोषैश्च विविधैः स्तुवद्भिश्चाभिनन्दितम्
The twice-born, their faces streaked with tears, honored Rāvaṇa, lord of the demons, with various musical instruments and songs of praise.
पताकाभिश्च चित्राभिः सुमनोभिश्च चित्रिताम्। उत्क्षिप्य शिबिकां तां तु विभीषणपुरोगमाः
Adorned with colorful banners and garlands, Vibhīṣaṇa and the others lifted the bier.
दक्षिणाभिमुखाः सर्वे गृह्य काष्ठानि भेजिरे। अग्नयो दीप्यमानास्ते तदाध्वर्युसमीरिताः
All, facing south, took up the wood and split it, while the fires, kindled by the priests, blazed brightly.
पृष्ठतोऽनुययुस्तानि प्लवमानानि सर्वतः। रावणं प्रयते देशे स्थाप्य ते भृशदुःखिताः
They followed behind, weeping bitterly, as they placed Rāvaṇa in a purified spot.
चितां चन्दनकाष्ठैश्च पद्मकोशीरचन्दनैः। ब्राह्म्या संवर्तयामासू राङ्कवास्तरणावृताम्
They built the funeral pyre with sandalwood, lotus stalks, and sandal-paste, covering it with Brahmin's cloth and a bed of bark.
प्रचक्रू राक्षसेन्द्रस्य पितृमेधमनुत्तमम्। वेदिं च दक्षिणाप्राचीं यथास्थानं च पावकम्
They performed the supreme ancestral rite for the king of the demons, arranging the altar to the southeast and placing the fire in its proper place.
पृषदाज्येन सम्पूर्णं स्रुवं स्कन्धे प्रचिक्षिपुः। पादयोः शकटं प्रापुरूर्वोश्चोलूखलं तदा
They placed a ladle filled with clarified butter on his shoulder, a wooden cart at his feet, and a mortar at his thighs.
दारुपात्राणि सर्वाणि अरणिं चोत्तरारणिम्। दत्त्वा तु मुसलं चान्यं यथास्थानं विचक्रमुः
They set out all the wooden vessels, the lower and upper fire-sticks, and placed another pestle in its proper place.
शास्त्रदृष्टेन विधिना महर्षिविहितेन च। तत्र मेध्यं पशुं हत्वा राक्षसेन्द्रस्य राक्षसाः
According to the rites prescribed by scripture and the great sages, the demons sacrificed a consecrated animal there.
परिस्तरणिकां राज्ञो घृताक्तां समवेशयन्। गन्धैर्माल्यैरलंकृत्य रावणं दीनमानसाः
They laid out a ghee-smeared mat for the king, and, their hearts heavy, adorned Rāvaṇa with scents and garlands.
विभीषणसहायास्ते वस्त्रैश्च विविधैरपि। लाजैरवकिरन्ति स्म बाष्पपूर्णमुखास्तथा
With Vibhīṣaṇa and his companions, their faces full of tears, they scattered various garments and offerings of parched grain.
स ददौ पावकं तस्य विधियुक्तं विभीषणः। स्नात्वा चैवार्द्रवस्त्रेण तिलान् दर्भविमिश्रितान्
Vibhīṣaṇa, having bathed and dressed in wet clothes, offered the fire according to the rite, along with sesame seeds mixed with sacred grass.
उदकेन च सम्मिश्रान् प्रदाय विधिपूर्वकम्। ताः स्त्रियोऽनुनयामास सान्त्वयित्वा पुनः पुनः
He properly offered those sesame seeds mixed with water, and repeatedly comforted and consoled the women.
गम्यतामिति ताः सर्वा विविशुर्नगरं ततः। प्रविष्टासु पुरीं स्त्रीषु राक्षसेन्द्रो विभीषणः। रामपार्श्वमुपागम्य समतिष्ठद् विनीतवत्
He told them all to depart, and so the women entered the city. When the women had entered the palace, Vibhīṣaṇa, lord of the demons, approached Rāma and stood before him with humility.
रामोऽपि सह सैन्येन ससुग्रीवः सलक्ष्मणः। हर्षं लेभे रिपुं हत्वा वृत्रं वज्रधरो यथा
Rāma, together with his army, with Sugrīva and Lakṣmaṇa, felt joy after slaying his enemy, just as Indra did upon killing Vṛtra.
ततो विमुक्त्वा सशरं शरासनं महेन्द्रदत्तं कवचं स तन्महत्। विमुच्य रोषं रिपुनिग्रहात् ततो रामः स सौम्यत्वमुपागतोऽरिहा
Then, releasing his bow and arrows, and the great armor given by Mahendra, having let go of his anger from defeating his foe, Rāma, the destroyer of enemies, regained his gentle nature.
thumb|द्वादशाधिकशततमः सर्गः श्रूयताम्|center श्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे युद्धकाण्डे द्वादशाधिकशततमः सर्गः ॥६-
Let the one hundred and twelfth sarga be heard in the glorious Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Yuddha Kāṇḍa.
ते रावणवधं दृष्ट्वा देवगन्धर्वदानवाः। जग्मुः स्वैः स्वैर्विमानैस्ते कथयन्तः शुभाः कथाः
Having witnessed Rāvaṇa's slaying, the gods, gandharvas, and dānavas departed in their respective aerial vehicles, recounting auspicious tales.
रावणस्य वधं घोरं राघवस्य पराक्रमम्। सुयुद्धं वानराणां च सुग्रीवस्य च मन्त्रितम्
They spoke of Rāvaṇa's dreadful death, Rāghava's valor, the excellent battle of the monkeys, and Sugrīva's counsel.
अनुरागं च वीर्यं च मारुतेर्लक्ष्मणस्य च। पतिव्रतात्वं सीताया हनूमति पराक्रमम्
They spoke of the affection and strength of Hanuman and Lakṣmaṇa, Sītā's fidelity, and Hanuman's prowess.
कथयन्तो महाभागा जग्मुर्हृष्टा यथागतम्। राघवस्तु रथं दिव्यमिन्द्रदत्तं शिखिप्रभम्
Speaking thus, those blessed ones departed joyfully as they had come; meanwhile, Rāghava approached the divine chariot, radiant as a peacock, given by Indra.
अनुज्ञाप्य महाबाहुर्मातलिं प्रत्यपूजयत्। राघवेणाभ्यनुज्ञातो मातलिः शक्रसारथिः
The mighty-armed Rāghava, having taken leave, honored Mātaḷi; Mātaḷi, Indra's charioteer, was permitted by Rāghava.
दिव्यं तं रथमास्थाय दिवमेवोत्पपात ह। तस्मिंस्तु दिवमारूढे सरथे रथिनां वरः
Mounting that divine chariot, Mātaḷi ascended to heaven; when the charioteer had gone to heaven, the best among charioteers,
राघवः परमप्रीतः सुग्रीवं परिषस्वजे। परिष्वज्य च सुग्रीवं लक्ष्मणेनाभिवादितः
Rāghava, filled with supreme delight, embraced Sugrīva; and after embracing Sugrīva, he was greeted by Lakṣmaṇa.
पूज्यमानो हरिगणैराजगाम बलालयम्। अथोवाच स काकुत्स्थः समीपपरिवर्तिनम्
Honored by the hosts of monkeys, he arrived at the stronghold of the army; then the descendant of Kakutstha spoke to those gathered nearby.
सौमित्रिं सत्त्वसम्पन्नं लक्ष्मणं दीप्ततेजसम्। विभीषणमिमं सौम्य लङ्कायामभिषेचय
He said to Saumitri, the virtuous and radiant Lakṣmaṇa: 'O gentle one, anoint this Vibhīṣaṇa as king in Laṅkā.'
अनुरक्तं च भक्तं च तथा पूर्वोपकारिणम्। एष मे परमः कामो यदिमं रावणानुजम्
'He is devoted, loyal, and has previously rendered service; this is my highest wish, that I may see this brother of Rāvaṇa'
