जघानाप्लुत्य गदया रावणस्य विभीषणः ॥ ६.१००.१७ ॥
And Vibhīṣaṇa, leaping forward, struck down with his mace Rāvaṇa's fine horses, dark as blue clouds and huge as mountains.

अथोदतिष्ठत् संनादो वानराणां महारणे ॥ ६.१००.२० ॥

न प्रहर्तुं मनश्चक्रे विमुखीकृतविक्रमः ॥ ६.१००.२६ ॥
Covered by the flood of arrows shot by the great-souled Lakṣmaṇa, his valor turned away, he did not resolve to strike back.

लक्ष्मणाभिमुखस्तिष्ठन्निदं वचनमब्रवीत् ॥ ६.१००.२७ ॥
Seeing his brother freed by Lakṣmaṇa, Rāvaṇa, standing face to face with Lakṣmaṇa, spoke these words.

विमुच्य राक्षसं शक्तिस्त्वयीयं विनिपात्यते ॥ ६.१००.२८ ॥
O boaster of strength, because you have thus freed the rākṣasa Vibhīṣaṇa, this spear is hurled at you.

रावणः परमक्रुद्धश्चिक्षेप च ननाद च ॥ ६.१००.३१ ॥
Enraged beyond measure, Rāvaṇa hurled that spear, blazing with brilliance, aimed at Lakṣmaṇa, and roared.
6.100.32

शक्तिरभ्यपतद् वेगाल्लक्ष्मणं रणमूर्धनि ॥ ६.१००.३२ ॥
Hurled with terrible speed, roaring like a thunderbolt and lightning, that spear rushed with force upon Lakṣmaṇa at the forefront of the battle.

तामनुव्याहरच्छक्तिमापतन्तीं स राघवः।
स्वस्त्यस्तु लक्ष्मणायेति मोघा भव हतोद्यमा ॥ ६.१००.३३ ॥
Addressing that rushing spear, Rāghava said: "May there be well-being for Lakṣmaṇa! O spear, become fruitless, let your effort be destroyed!"
6.100.34
रावणेन रणे शक्तिः क्रुद्धेनाशीविषोपमा।
मुक्ताऽऽशूरस्य भीतस्य लक्ष्मणस्य ममज्ज सा ॥ ६.१००.३४ ॥
Released in battle by the enraged Rāvaṇa, that spear, like a venomous serpent, sank into Lakṣmaṇa — brave, yet for that moment struck with fear.

न्यपतत् सा महावेगा लक्ष्मणस्य महोरसि।
जिह्वेवोरगराजस्य दीप्यमाना महाद्युतिः ॥ ६.१००.३५ ॥
That spear, of mighty force, fell upon Lakṣmaṇa's broad chest, gleaming like the tongue of the king of serpents, blazing with great radiance.

शक्त्या विभिन्नहृदयः पपात भुवि लक्ष्मणः ॥ ६.१००.३६ ॥

6.100.37
तदवस्थं समीपस्थो लक्ष्मणं प्रेक्ष्य राघवः।
भ्रातृस्नेहान्महातेजा विषण्णहृदयोऽभवत् ॥ ६.१००.३७ ॥
Seeing Lakṣmaṇa lying in that state, Rāghava, the greatly radiant, stood nearby and his heart became sorrowful out of love for his brother.
6.100.38
स मुहूर्तमिव ध्यात्वा बाष्पपर्याकुलेक्षणः।
बभूव संरब्धतरो युगान्त इव पावकः ॥ ६.१००.३८ ॥
For a moment, as if lost in thought, with his eyes clouded by tears, he became more fiercely enraged, like the fire at the end of an age.
6.100.39
न विषादस्य कालोऽयमिति संचिन्त्य राघवः।
चक्रे सुतुमलं युद्धं रावणस्य वधे धृतः।
सर्वयत्नेन महता लक्ष्मणं परिवीक्ष्य च ॥ ६.१००.३९ ॥
Reflecting that this was no time for grief, Rāghava, resolved on the killing of Rāvaṇa, fought a most fierce battle, and with all his effort looked at Lakṣmaṇa.
6.100.40
स ददर्श ततो रामः शक्त्या भिन्नं महाहवे।
लक्ष्मणं रुधिरादिग्धं सपन्नगमिवाचलम् ॥ ६.१००.४० ॥
Then Rāma saw Lakṣmaṇa, pierced by the spear in the great battle and smeared with blood, like a mountain with serpents.
6.100.41
तामपि प्रहितां शक्तिं रावणेन बलीयसा।
यत्नतस्ते हरिश्रेष्ठा न शेकुरवमर्दितुम् ॥ ६.१००.४१ ॥
Even that spear, hurled by the mighty Rāvaṇa, the best of the monkeys could not crush, though they tried with effort.
6.100.42
अर्दिताश्चैव बाणौघैस्ते प्रवेकेण रक्षसाम्।
सौमित्रेः सा विनिर्भिद्य प्रविष्टा धरणीतलम् ॥ ६.१००.४२ ॥
Though struck by showers of arrows through the skill of the rākṣasas, that spear pierced Lakṣmaṇa and entered the surface of the earth.
6.100.43
तां कराभ्यां परामृश्य रामः शक्तिं भयावहाम्।
बभञ्ज समरे क्रुद्धो बलवान् विचकर्ष च ॥ ६.१००.४३ ॥
Rāma, enraged and mighty, grasped that terrifying spear with both hands, broke it in battle, and pulled it out with force.
6.100.44
तस्य निष्कर्षतः शक्तिं रावणेन बलीयसा।
शराः सर्वेषु गात्रेषु पातिता मर्मभेदिनः ॥ ६.१००.४४ ॥
As the mighty Rāvaṇa was pulling out that spear, arrows that pierce vital spots were shot into all his limbs.
6.100.45
अचिन्तयित्वा तान् बाणान् समाश्लिष्य च लक्ष्मणम्।
अब्रवीच्च हनूमन्तं सुग्रीवं च महाकपिम् ॥ ६.१००.४५ ॥
Heedless of those arrows, he embraced Lakṣmaṇa and spoke to Hanumān and to Sugrīva, the great monkey.
6.100.46
लक्ष्मणं परिवार्यैवं तिष्ठध्वं वानरोत्तमाः।
पराक्रमस्य कालोऽयं सम्प्राप्तो मे चिरेप्सितः ॥ ६.१००.४६ ॥
Best of monkeys, stand around Lakṣmaṇa in this way. The time for my valour, which I have long desired, has now come.
6.100.47
पापात्मायं दशग्रीवो वध्यतां पापनिश्चयः।
कांक्षितं चातकस्येव घर्मान्ते मेघदर्शनम् ॥ ६.१००.४७ ॥
Let this evil-minded ten-necked one, of wicked resolve, be slain. As the cātaka bird longs for the sight of clouds at the end of summer, so is this longed for by me.
6.100.48
अस्मिन् मुहूर्ते नचिरात् सत्यं प्रतिशृणोमि वः।
अरावणमरामं वा जगद् द्रक्ष्यथ वानराः ॥ ६.१००.४८ ॥
In this very moment, before long, I truly promise you: O monkeys, you will see the world either without Rāvaṇa or without Rāma.
6.100.49
राज्यनाशं वने वासं दण्डके परिधावनम्।
वैदेह्याश्च परामर्शो रक्षोभिश्च समागमम् ॥ ६.१००.४९ ॥
The loss of the kingdom, dwelling in the forest, wandering in the Daṇḍaka, the seizing of Vaidehī, and the encounter with the rākṣasas.
6.100.50
प्राप्तं दुःखं महाघोरं क्लेशश्च निरयोपमः।
अद्य सर्वमहं त्यक्ष्ये निहत्वा रावणं रणे ॥ ६.१००.५० ॥
I will put an end to all the dreadful suffering and hardship, like hell, that I have endured, by slaying Rāvaṇa in battle today.
6.100.51
यदर्थं वानरं सैन्यं समानीतमिदं मया।
सुग्रीवश्च कृतो राज्ये निहत्वा वालिनं रणे।
यदर्थं सागरः क्रान्तः सेतुर्बद्धश्च सागरे ॥ ६.१००.५१ ॥
For the sake of which I gathered this army of monkeys, made Sugrīva king, slew Vāli in battle, crossed the ocean, and the bridge was built upon the sea.
6.100.52
सोऽयमद्य रणे पापश्चक्षुर्विषयमागतः।
चक्षुर्विषयमागत्य नायं जीवितुमर्हति ॥ ६.१००.५२ ॥
That wicked one has today come within my sight in battle; having come within my sight, he does not deserve to live.
6.100.53
दृष्टिं दृष्टिविषस्येव सर्पस्य मम रावणः।
यथा वा वैनतेयस्य दृष्टिं प्राप्तो भुजंगमः ॥ ६.१००.५३ ॥
As a serpent whose gaze is poison falls into my sight, or as a snake falls into the sight of Garuḍa, son of Vinatā, so has Rāvaṇa come into my sight.
6.100.54
सुखं पश्यत दुर्धर्षा युद्धं वानरपुङ्गवाः।
आसीनाः पर्वताग्रेषु ममेदं रावणस्य च ॥ ६.१००.५४ ॥
Behold in ease, O invincible best of monkeys, seated on the mountain peaks, this battle of mine and of Rāvaṇa.

सदेवाः कथयिष्यन्ति यावद् भूमिर्धरिष्यति।
समागम्य सदा लोके यथा युद्धं प्रवर्तितम् ॥ ६.१००.५६ ॥
Today I will do a deed that the moving and unmoving worlds, with the gods, will tell of for as long as the earth endures, of how the battle was fought in the world.
6.100.57
एवमुक्त्वा शितैर्बाणैस्तप्तकाञ्चनभूषणैः।
आजघान रणे रामो दशग्रीवं समाहितः ॥ ६.१००.५७ ॥
Having said this, Rāma, collected, struck ten-necked Rāvaṇa in battle with sharp arrows adorned with heated gold.
6.100.58
तथा प्रदीप्तैर्नाराचैर्मुसलैश्चापि रावणः।
अभ्यवर्षत् तदा रामं धाराभिरिव तोयदः ॥ ६.१००.५८ ॥
Likewise, with blazing iron arrows and clubs, Rāvaṇa then rained upon Rāma as a rain cloud pours down in streams.

रामरावणमुक्तानामन्योन्यमभिनिघ्नताम्।
वराणां च शराणां च बभूव तुमुलः स्वनः ॥ ६.१००.५९ ॥
From the excellent arrows released by Rāma and Rāvaṇa as they struck one another, a tumultuous sound arose.

तयोर्ज्यातलनिर्घोषो रामरावणयोर्महान्।
त्रासनः सर्वभूतानां सम्बभूवाद्भुतोपमः ॥ ६.१००.६१ ॥
The great roar of the bowstrings of Rāma and Rāvaṇa terrified all beings; it became like a wonder.
6.100.62
स कीर्यमाणः शरजालवृष्टिभि-
र्महात्मना दीप्तधनुष्मतार्दितः।
भयात् प्रदुद्राव समेत्य रावणो
यथानिलेनाभिहतो बलाहकः ॥ ६.१००.६२ ॥
Rāvaṇa, afflicted by the shower of a net of arrows poured out by the great-souled one with the blazing bow, fled in fear, like a cloud struck by the wind.
