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'
लङ्कायां सौम्य पश्येयमभिषिक्तं विभीषणम्। एवमुक्तस्तु सौमित्री राघवेण महात्मना
'anointed as king in Laṅkā, O gentle one.' Thus addressed by the great-souled Rāghava,
तथेत्युक्त्वा सुसंहृष्टः सौवर्णं घटमाददे। तं घटं वानरेन्द्राणां हस्ते दत्त्वा मनोजवान्
Saumitri, delighted, replied, 'So be it,' and took up a golden vessel; Hanuman, swift as thought, placed that vessel in the hands of the monkey chiefs.
व्यादिदेश महासत्त्वान् समुद्रसलिलं तदा। अतिशीघ्रं ततो गत्वा वानरास्ते मनोजवाः
He directed the great-hearted monkeys to fetch water from the ocean; then, moving very swiftly, those monkeys departed.
आगतास्तु जलं गृह्य समुद्राद् वानरोत्तमाः। ततस्त्वेकं घटं गृह्य संस्थाप्य परमासने
The foremost monkeys returned, having brought water from the ocean; then, taking a single vessel, they placed it upon the highest seat.
घटेन तेन सौमित्रिरभ्यषिञ्चद् विभीषणम्। लङ्कायां रक्षसां मध्ये राजानं रामशासनात्
With that vessel, Saumitri anointed Vibhīṣaṇa as king in Laṅkā, in the midst of the rākṣasas, by Rāma's command.
विधिना मन्त्रदृष्टेन सुहृद्गणसमावृतम्। अभ्यषिञ्चस्तदा सर्वे राक्षसा वानरास्तथा
Then, according to the prescribed rite seen in the mantras, with a gathering of friends surrounding him, all the Rākṣasas and also the Vānaras anointed him.
प्रहर्षमतुलं गत्वा तुष्टुवू राममेव हि। तस्यामात्या जहृषिरे भक्ता ये चास्य राक्षसाः
Having attained incomparable joy, they praised only Rāma; his ministers rejoiced, as did those Rākṣasas who were devoted to him.
दृष्ट्वाभिषिक्तं लङ्कायां राक्षसेन्द्रं विभीषणम्। राघवः परमां प्रीतिं जगाम सहलक्ष्मणः
Seeing Vibhīṣaṇa, the lord of the Rākṣasas, anointed in Laṅkā, Rāghava, together with Lakṣmaṇa, felt supreme delight.
स तद् राज्यं महत् प्राप्य रामदत्तं विभीषणः। सान्त्वयित्वा प्रकृतयस्ततो राममुपागमत्
Vibhīṣaṇa, having obtained that great kingdom granted by Rāma, comforted the citizens and then approached Rāma.
दध्यक्षतान् मोदकांश्च लाजाः सुमनसस्तथा। आजह्रुरथ संहृष्टाः पौरास्तस्मै निशाचराः
The delighted citizens of Laṅkā, the night-dwelling Rākṣasas, joyfully brought him curds, unbroken rice, sweetmeats, and flowers.
