3.30.1
भित्त्वा तु तां गदां बाणै राघवो धर्मवत्सलः।
स्मयमान इदं वाक्यं संरब्धमिदमब्रवीत् ॥ ३.३०.१ ॥
Having pierced that club with his arrows, Rāghava, fond of dharma, smiling yet angered, spoke these words.
3.30.2
एतत् ते बलसर्वस्वं दर्शितं राक्षसाधम।
शक्तिहीनतरो मत्तो वृथा त्वमुपगर्जसि ॥ ३.३०.२ ॥
This, your entire strength, you have displayed, lowest of rākṣasas; far weaker than me, you vainly roar.
3.30.3
एषा बाणविनिर्भिन्ना गदा भूमितलं गता।
अभिधानप्रगल्भस्य तव प्रत्ययघातिनी ॥ ३.३०.३ ॥
This club, pierced by arrows, has fallen to the ground; it shatters the confidence of you, bold in boasting.
3.30.4
यत् त्वयोक्तं विनष्टानामिदमश्रुप्रमार्जनम्।
राक्षसानां करोमीति मिथ्या तदपि ते वचः ॥ ३.३०.४ ॥
What you said, that you would wipe the tears of the destroyed rākṣasas, that word of yours too is false.
3.30.5
नीचस्य क्षुद्रशीलस्य मिथ्यावृत्तस्य रक्षसः।
प्राणानपहरिष्यामि गरुत्मानमृतं यथा ॥ ३.३०.५ ॥
Of you, base, petty-natured, false-conducted rākṣasa, I will take away the life-breaths, as Garuḍa took the nectar.
3.30.6
अद्य ते भिन्नकण्ठस्य फेनबुद्बुदभूषितम्।
विदारितस्य मद्बाणैर्मही पास्यति शोणितम् ॥ ३.३०.६ ॥
Today, your throat pierced and you torn apart by my arrows, the earth will drink your blood, adorned with foam and bubbles.
3.30.7
पांसुरूषितसर्वाङ्गः स्रस्तन्यस्तभुजद्वयः।
स्वप्स्यसे गां समाश्लिष्य दुर्लभां प्रमदामिव ॥ ३.३०.७ ॥
With all your limbs smeared with dust and your two arms loosely sprawled, you will sleep embracing the earth as if it were a rare beloved.
3.30.8
प्रवृद्धनिद्रे शयिते त्वयि राक्षसपांसने।
भविष्यन्ति शरण्यानां शरण्या दण्डका इमे ॥ ३.३०.८ ॥
O rākṣasa, when you lie in dust in your deep, prolonged sleep, these Daṇḍaka forests will become a refuge for those who seek refuge.
3.30.9
जनस्थाने हतस्थाने तव राक्षस मच्छरैः।
निर्भया विचरिष्यन्ति सर्वतो मुनयो वने ॥ ३.३०.९ ॥
O rākṣasa, in Janasthāna, where you will be slain by my arrows, the sages will wander fearlessly everywhere in the forest.
3.30.10
अद्य विप्रसरिष्यन्ति राक्षस्यो हतबान्धवाः।
बाष्पार्द्रवदना दीना भयादन्यभयावहाः ॥ ३.३०.१० ॥
Today the rākṣasa women, their kinsmen slain, will scatter in flight with faces wet with tears, wretched, out of fear; those who once caused fear in others will themselves be afraid.
3.30.11
अद्य शोकरसज्ञास्ता भविष्यन्ति निरर्थिकाः।
अनुरूपकुलाः पत्न्यो यासां त्वं पतिरीदृशः ॥ ३.३०.११ ॥
Today those women, who know the taste of grief, will be made fruitless—wives of fitting families, whose husband is one such as you.
3.30.12
नृशंसशील क्षुद्रात्मन् नित्यं ब्राह्मणकण्टक।
त्वत्कृते शङ्कितैरग्नौ मुनिभिः पात्यते हविः ॥ ३.३०.१२ ॥
O cruel-natured one, base-minded, ever a thorn to the brahmins! Because of you, the sages, in fear, pour their oblations into the fire.
3.30.13
तमेवमभिसंरब्धं ब्रुवाणं राघवं वने।
खरो निर्भर्त्सयामास रोषात् खरतरस्वरः ॥ ३.३०.१३ ॥
As Rāghava (Rāma) spoke thus in the forest, enraged, Khara rebuked him in anger, with a harsher-than-harsh voice.
3.30.14
दृढं खल्ववलिप्तोऽसि भयेष्वपि च निर्भयः।
वाच्यावाच्यं ततो हि त्वं मृत्योर्वश्यो न बुध्यसे ॥ ३.३०.१४ ॥
You are indeed very arrogant, fearless even in moments of fear. Therefore, subject to death, you do not understand what should and should not be said.
3.30.15
कालपाशपरिक्षिप्ता भवन्ति पुरुषा हि ये।
कार्याकार्यं न जानन्ति ते निरस्तषडिन्द्रियाः ॥ ३.३०.१५ ॥
Men who are encircled by the noose of time do not know what should and should not be done; their six senses are discarded.

एवमुक्त्वा ततो रामं संरुध्य भृकुटिं ततः।
स ददर्श महासालमविदूरे निशाचरः ॥ ३.३०.१६ ॥
Having spoken thus, the night-roamer contracted his brow, looked at Rāma, and then saw a great sāla tree not far off.
3.30.17
रणे प्रहरणस्यार्थे सर्वतो ह्यवलोकयन्।
स तमुत्पाटयामास संदष्टदशनच्छदम् ॥ ३.३०.१७ ॥
Looking all around for a weapon for battle, with his lips pressed by his teeth, he uprooted it.
3.30.18
तं समुत्क्षिप्य बाहुभ्यां विनर्दित्वा महाबलः।
राममुद्दिश्य चिक्षेप हतस्त्वमिति चाब्रवीत् ॥ ३.३०.१८ ॥
Lifting it with both arms and roaring, the very mighty one hurled it aiming at Rāma, saying, "You are struck down!"
3.30.19
तमापतन्तं बाणौघैश्छित्त्वा रामः प्रतापवान्।
रोषमाहारयत् तीव्रं निहन्तुं समरे खरम् ॥ ३.३०.१९ ॥
Seeing him charging at him, the mighty and glorious Rāma cut him down with a flood of arrows, and in battle roused fierce anger to slay Khara.
3.30.20
जातस्वेदस्ततो रामो रोषरक्तान्तलोचनः।
निर्बिभेद सहस्रेण बाणानां समरे खरम् ॥ ३.३०.२० ॥
Then Rāma, sweat-bathed, the corners of his eyes red with rage, pierced Khara in battle with a thousand arrows.
3.30.21
तस्य बाणान्तराद् रक्तं बहु सुस्राव फेनिलम्।
गिरेः प्रस्रवणस्येव धाराणां च परिस्रवः ॥ ३.३०.२१ ॥
From between his arrows much frothy blood flowed out, like the streams pouring from a mountain spring.
3.30.22
विकलः स कृतो बाणैः खरो रामेण संयुगे।
मत्तो रुधिरगन्धेन तमेवाभ्यद्रवद् द्रुतम् ॥ ३.३०.२२ ॥
Khara, disabled by Rāma's arrows in battle and maddened by the smell of blood, rushed quickly straight at him.
3.30.23
तमापतन्तं संक्रुद्धं कृतास्त्रो रुधिराप्लुतम्।
अपासर्पद् द्वित्रिपदं किंचित्त्वरितविक्रमः ॥ ३.३०.२३ ॥
Seeing him charging at him, furious and drenched in blood, Rāma, skilled in weapons, quickly stepped back two or three paces.
3.30.24
ततः पावकसंकाशं वधाय समरे शरम्।
खरस्य रामो जग्राह ब्रह्मदण्डमिवापरम् ॥ ३.३०.२४ ॥
Then Rāma took up in battle an arrow blazing like fire, to slay Khara, as if it were another staff of Brahmā.
3.30.25
स तद् दत्तं मघवता सुरराजेन धीमता।
संदधे च स धर्मात्मा मुमोच च खरं प्रति ॥ ३.३०.२५ ॥
That righteous-souled one fitted to his bow the arrow given by Indra, the wise king of the gods, and released it against Khara.
3.30.26
स विमुक्तो महाबाणो निर्घातसमनिःस्वनः।
रामेण धनुरायम्य खरस्योरसि चापतत् ॥ ३.३०.२६ ॥
That great arrow, released by Rāma after he drew his bow, roaring like a thunderclap, struck Khara in the chest.
3.30.27
स पपात खरो भूमौ दह्यमानः शराग्निना।
रुद्रेणेव विनिर्दग्धः श्वेतारण्ये यथान्धकः ॥ ३.३०.२७ ॥
Khara fell to the ground, burning in the fire of the arrow, as the demon Andhaka fell when burned by Rudra in the Śvetāraṇya forest.
3.30.28
स वृत्र इव वज्रेण फेनेन नमुचिर्यथा।
बलो वेन्द्राशनिहतो निपपात हतः खरः ॥ ३.३०.२८ ॥
As Vṛtra was struck down by the thunderbolt, Namuci by foam, and Bala by Indra's lightning, so Khara, struck down, fell.
3.30.29
एतस्मिन्नन्तरे देवाश्चारणैः सह संगताः।
दुन्दुभींश्चाभिनिघ्नन्तः पुष्पवर्षं समन्ततः ॥ ३.३०.२९ ॥
At this moment, the gods gathered together with the Cāraṇas, beating drums and showering flowers on every side.

अर्धाधिकमुहूर्तेन रामेण निशितैः शरैः ॥ ३.३०.३० ॥
Delighted and amazed, they showered flowers upon Rāma, who had accomplished this with sharp arrows in a little more than half a muhūrta.
3.30.31
चतुर्दश सहस्राणि रक्षसां कामरूपिणाम्।
खरदूषणमुख्यानां निहतानि महामृधे ॥ ३.३०.३१ ॥
Fourteen thousand rakshasas, able to take any form at will and led by Khara and Dushana, were slain in that great battle.
3.30.32
अहो बत महत्कर्म रामस्य विदितात्मनः।
अहो वीर्यमहो दार्ढ्यं विष्णोरिव हि दृश्यते ॥ ३.३०.३२ ॥
Oh, how great is the deed of Rāma, who knows his own self! Oh, his valor and firmness are seen to be like Viṣṇu's.
3.30.33
इत्येवमुक्त्वा ते सर्वे ययुर्देवा यथागतम्।
ततो राजर्षयः सर्वे संगताः परमर्षयः ॥ ३.३०.३३ ॥
Having spoken thus, all those gods went back the way they had come. Then all the royal sages and great sages who had gathered there...

सभाज्य मुदिता रामं सागस्त्या इदमब्रुवन्।
एतदर्थं महातेजा महेन्द्रः पाकशासनः ॥ ३.३०.३४ ॥
Honoring Rāma and rejoicing, the sages led by Agastya spoke these words: For this very purpose, the mighty-radiant Mahendra, Indra the punisher of Paka...

तदिदं नः कृतं कार्यं त्वया दशरथात्मज ॥ ३.३०.३६ ॥
For the slaying of these evil-doing enemies, the rākṣasas, you, son of Daśaratha, have accomplished this task for us.
3.30.37
स्वधर्मं प्रचरिष्यन्ति दण्डकेषु महर्षयः।
एतस्मिन्नन्तरे वीरो लक्ष्मणः सह सीतया ॥ ३.३०.३७ ॥
In the Daṇḍaka forest the great sages will keep to their own dharma. Meanwhile the hero Lakṣmaṇa, together with Sītā,

गिरिदुर्गाद् विनिष्क्रम्य संविवेशाश्रमे सुखी
ततो रामस्तु विजयी पूज्यमानो महर्षिभिः ॥ ३.३०.३८ ॥
Coming out of the mountain fortress, they entered the hermitage happily. Then Rāma, the victor, honoured by the great sages,

तं दृष्ट्वा शत्रुहन्तारं महर्षीणां सुखावहम् ॥ ३.३०.३९ ॥
The hero, honoured by Lakṣmaṇa, entered the hermitage. Seeing him, the slayer of enemies and bringer of joy to the great sages,

मुदा परमया युक्ता दृष्ट्वा रक्षोगणान् हतान्।
रामं चैवाव्ययं दृष्ट्वा तुतोष जनकात्मजा ॥ ३.३०.४० ॥
Vaidehī became joyful and embraced her husband. Filled with supreme delight, seeing the hosts of demons slain and seeing the imperishable Rāma, the daughter of Janaka rejoiced.
3.30.41
ततस्तु तं राक्षससङ्घमर्दनं
सम्पूज्यमानं मुदितैर्महात्मभिः।
पुनः परिष्वज्य मुदान्वितानना
बभूव हृष्टा जनकात्मजा तदा ॥ ३.३०.४१ ॥
Then, having embraced again him, the crusher of hosts of demons, who was honoured by the delighted great-souled ones, the daughter of Janaka, her face filled with joy, then rejoiced.
