शक्त्या निपातितं दृष्ट्वा रावणेन बलीयसा।
लक्ष्मणं समरे शूरं शोणितौघपरिप्लुतम् ॥ ६.१०१.१ ॥
Seeing the heroic Lakṣmaṇa, struck down in battle by Rāvaṇa's mighty spear and drenched in a flood of blood,
6.101.2
स दत्त्वा तुमुलं युद्धं रावणस्य दुरात्मनः।
विसृजन्नेव बाणौघान् सुषेणमिदमब्रवीत् ॥ ६.१०१.२ ॥
Having fought a fierce battle with the wicked Rāvaṇa, and while loosing floods of arrows, he spoke these words to Suṣeṇa:
6.101.3
एष रावणवीर्येण लक्ष्मणः पतितो भुवि।
सर्पवच्चेष्टते वीरो मम शोकमुदीरयन् ॥ ६.१०१.३ ॥
By the might of Rāvaṇa this Lakṣmaṇa has fallen to the ground; the hero writhes like a serpent, stirring up grief within me.
6.101.4
शोणितार्द्रमिमं वीरं प्राणैः प्रियतरं मम।
पश्यतो मम का शक्तिर्योद्धुं पर्याकुलात्मनः ॥ ६.१०१.४ ॥
Seeing this hero, drenched in blood and dearer to me than my own life, what strength have I to fight, with my mind so troubled?

यदि पञ्चत्वमापन्नः प्राणैर्मे किं सुखेन वा ॥ ६.१०१.५ ॥
If this brother of mine, proud in battle and marked by auspicious signs, has met his death, what joy is there in my life?
6.101.6
लज्जतीव हि मे वीर्यं भ्रश्यतीव कराद् धनुः।
सायका व्यवसीदन्ति दृष्टिर्बाष्पवशं गता ॥ ६.१०१.६ ॥
My valor seems to shame me, the bow seems to slip from my hand; my arrows sink down, and my sight is overcome by tears.
6.101.7
अवसीदन्ति गात्राणि स्वप्नयाने नृणामिव।
चिन्ता मे वर्धते तीव्रा मुमूर्षापि च जायते ॥ ६.१०१.७ ॥
My limbs grow faint, as if men were sinking into the sleep of dreams. My intense anxiety grows, and a desire to die arises as well.
6.101.8
भ्रातरं निहतं दृष्ट्वा रावणेन दुरात्मना।
विष्टनन्तं तु दुःखार्तं मर्मण्यभिहतं भृशम् ॥ ६.१०१.८ ॥
Seeing my brother slain by the wicked-souled Rāvaṇa, writhing and tormented by sorrow, struck hard in a vital spot.

दुःखेन महताविष्टो ध्यानशोकपरायणः ॥ ६.१०१.९ ॥
Rāghava saw his dear brother, whose life-breath seemed to be leaving the body. Seized by great sorrow, Rāghava became absorbed in thought and grief.

6.101.11
विजयोऽपि हि मे शूर न प्रियायोपकल्पते।
अचक्षुर्विषयश्चन्द्रः कां प्रीतिं जनयिष्यति ॥ ६.१०१.११ ॥
O hero, even victory is of no use to me without my beloved. What joy will the moon bring when it is not visible to the eyes?
6.101.12
किं मे युद्धेन किं प्राणैर्युद्धकार्यं न विद्यते।
यत्रायं निहतः शेते रणमूर्धनि लक्ष्मणः ॥ ६.१०१.१२ ॥
What use is battle to me, what use are my life-breaths? Where Lakṣmaṇa lies slain at the front of the battlefield, there is no purpose left for the battle.
6.101.13
यथैव मां वनं यान्तमनुयाति महाद्युतिः।
अहमप्यनुयास्यामि तथैवैनं यमक्षयम् ॥ ६.१०१.१३ ॥
Just as the greatly radiant Lakṣmaṇa followed me when I went into the forest, so too will I follow him to the abode of Yama.

तं तु देशं न पश्यामि यत्र भ्राता सहोदरः ॥ ६.१०१.१५ ॥
In every land there are wives, and in every land there are kinsmen; but I see no land where a brother born of the same mother is to be found.

कथं वक्ष्याम्यहं त्वम्बां सुमित्रां पुत्रवत्सलाम् ॥ ६.१०१.१६ ॥
What is the kingdom to me without the invincible Lakṣmaṇa? How shall I speak to my mother Sumitrā, so tender toward her son?
6.101.17
उपालम्भं न शक्ष्यामि सोढुं दत्तं सुमित्रया।
किं नु वक्ष्यामि कौसल्यां मातरं किं नु कैकयीम् ॥ ६.१०१.१७ ॥

भरतं किं नु वक्ष्यामि शत्रुघ्नं च महाबलम्।
सह तेन वनं यातो विना तेनागतः कथम् ॥ ६.१०१.१८ ॥

किं मया दुष्कृतं कर्म कृतमन्यत्र जन्मनि ॥ ६.१०१.१९ ॥

हा भ्रातर्मनुजश्रेष्ठ शूराणां प्रवर प्रभो ॥ ६.१०१.२० ॥
He by whom my righteous brother, who stood before me, was slain! Alas, brother, best of men, foremost of heroes, lord!
6.101.21

विलपन्तं च मां भ्रातः किमर्थं नावभाषसे ॥ ६.१०१.२१ ॥
Alone, leaving me behind, are you going to the other world? Brother, why do you not speak to me, lamenting as I am?
6.101.22
उत्तिष्ठ पश्य किं शेषे दीनं मां पश्य चक्षुषा।
शोकार्तस्य प्रमत्तस्य पर्वतेषु वनेषु च ॥ ६.१०१.२२ ॥
Rise, look! Why do you lie there? Look at me with your eyes, wretched, afflicted with grief, distraught, wandering over mountains and through forests.

विषण्णस्य महाबाहो समाश्वासयिता मम।
राममेवं ब्रुवाणं तु शोकव्याकुलितेन्द्रियम् ॥ ६.१०१.२३ ॥

त्यजेमां नरशार्दूल बुद्धिं वैक्लव्यकारिणीम् ॥ ६.१०१.२४ ॥
Consoling Rāma, Suṣeṇa spoke these supreme words: Tiger among men, abandon this thought that causes despair.
6.101.25
शोकसंजननीं चिन्तां तुल्यां बाणैश्चमूमुखे।
नैव पञ्चत्वमापन्नो लक्ष्मणो लक्ष्मिवर्धनः ॥ ६.१०१.२५ ॥
Like the anxiety that brings sorrow, born of arrows at the front of the army: Lakṣmaṇa, the increaser of glory, has not reached death.
6.101.26
नह्यस्य विकृतं वक्त्रं न च श्यामत्वमागतम्।
सुप्रभं च प्रसन्नं च मुखमस्य निरीक्ष्यताम् ॥ ६.१०१.२६ ॥
His face is not distorted, nor has it turned dark; his face is bright and serene. Look at it.
6.101.27
पद्मपत्रतलौ हस्तौ सुप्रसन्ने च लोचने।
नेदृशं दृश्यते रूपं गतासूनां विशां पते ॥ ६.१०१.२७ ॥
His hands are like the undersides of lotus leaves, and his eyes are very serene. O lord of men, the appearance of the dead is not like this.
6.101.28
विषादं मा कृथा वीर सप्राणोऽयमरिंदम।
आख्याति तु प्रसुप्तस्य स्रस्तगात्रस्य भूतले ॥ ६.१०१.२८ ॥
Hero, do not despair; O subduer of foes, he is alive. He appears just like a man sleeping on the ground with his limbs relaxed.
6.101.29
सोच्छ्वासं हृदयं वीर कम्पमानं मुहुर्मुहुः।
एवमुक्त्वा महाप्राज्ञः सुषेणो राघवं वचः ॥ ६.१०१.२९ ॥
Hero, his heart trembles again and again along with his breath. Having spoken thus, the very wise Suṣeṇa addressed these words to Rāghava.

सौम्य शीघ्रमितो गत्वा पर्वतं हि महोदयम् ॥ ६.१०१.३० ॥
To Hanumān, the great monkey standing nearby, he spoke these words: Gentle one, go quickly from here to that mountain of great potency...
6.101.31
पूर्वं तु कथितो योऽसौ वीर जाम्बवता तव।
दक्षिणे शिखरे जातां महौषधिमिहानय ॥ ६.१०१.३१ ॥
O hero, bring here the great herb that Jāmbavān described to you earlier, which grows on the southern peak.
6.101.32
विशल्यकरणीं नाम्ना सावर्ण्यकरणीं तथा।
संजीवकरणीं वीर संधानीं च महौषधीम् ॥ ६.१०१.३२ ॥
O hero, that great herb named Viśalyakaraṇī, Sāvarṇyakaraṇī, Saṃjīvakaraṇī and Saṃdhānī.
6.101.33
संजीवनार्थं वीरस्य लक्ष्मणस्य त्वमानय।
इत्येवमुक्तो हनुमान् गत्वा चौषधिपर्वतम्।
चिन्तामभ्यगमच्छ्रीमानजानंस्ता महौषधीः ॥ ६.१०१.३३ ॥
Thus addressed, the glorious Hanumān went to the herb mountain, but not knowing those great herbs, he fell into perplexity.
6.101.34
तस्य बुद्धिः समुत्पन्ना मारुतेरमितौजसः।
इदमेव गमिष्यामि गृहीत्वा शिखरं गिरेः ॥ ६.१०१.३४ ॥
A thought arose in the mind of Māruti of immeasurable might: I will take away this very peak of the mountain.
6.101.35
अस्मिंस्तु शिखरे जातामोषधीं तां सुखावहाम्।
प्रतर्केणावगच्छामि सुषेणो ह्येवमब्रवीत् ॥ ६.१०१.३५ ॥
That healing herb which grows on this peak, bringer of well-being, I recognize by reasoning; Suṣeṇa too spoke thus.
6.101.36
अगृह्य यदि गच्छामि विशल्यकरणीमहम्।
कालात्ययेन दोषः स्याद् वैक्लव्यं च महद्भवेत् ॥ ६.१०१.३६ ॥
If I go back without taking Viśalyakaraṇī, the delay will bring fault, and great distress will arise.
6.101.37
आसाद्य पर्वतश्रेष्ठं त्रिः प्रकम्प्य गिरेः शिरः ॥ ६.१०१.३७ ॥
Having reached the best of mountains, he shook the peak of the mountain three times.

फुल्लनानातरुगणं समुत्पाट्य महाबलः।
गृहीत्वा हरिशार्दूलो हस्ताभ्यां समतोलयत् ॥ ६.१०१.३८ ॥
Uprooting a cluster of various flowering trees, the very strong tiger among monkeys seized it in both hands and weighed it.
6.101.39
स नीलमिव जीमूतं तोयपूर्णं नभस्तलात्।
उत्पपात गृहीत्वा तु हनूमान् शिखरं गिरेः ॥ ६.१०१.३९ ॥
Like a dark rain cloud full of water, he rose from the sky; having seized the peak of the mountain, Hanumān leapt upward.

समागम्य महावेगः संन्यस्य शिखरं गिरेः।
विश्रम्य किंचिद्धनुमान् सुषेणमिदमब्रवीत् ॥ ६.१०१.४० ॥
Having arrived with great speed, and set down the peak of the mountain, Hanumān rested a little and spoke these words to Suṣeṇa.
6.101.41
औषधीर्नावगच्छामि ता अहं हरिपुङ्गव।
तदिदं शिखरं कृत्स्नं गिरेस्तस्याहृतं मया ॥ ६.१०१.४१ ॥
O best of monkeys, I do not recognize those healing herbs; therefore I have brought this entire peak of that mountain.
6.101.42
एवं कथयमानं तु प्रशस्य पवनात्मजम्।
सुषेणो वानरश्रेष्ठो जग्राहोत्पाट्य चौषधीः ॥ ६.१०१.४२ ॥
Praising Hanumān, son of the Wind, as he spoke thus, the best of monkeys Suṣeṇa uprooted and took the herbs.
6.101.43
विस्मितास्तु बभूवुस्ते सर्वे वानरपुङ्गवाः।
दृष्ट्वा तु हनुमत्कर्म सुरैरपि सुदुष्करम् ॥ ६.१०१.४३ ॥
Seeing Hanumān's deed, so hard that even the gods could not have done it, all those foremost of monkeys were astonished.
6.101.44
ततः संक्षोदयित्वा तामोषधीं वानरोत्तमः।
लक्ष्मणस्य ददौ नस्तः सुषेणः सुमहाद्युतिः ॥ ६.१०१.४४ ॥
Then, having thoroughly crushed that herb, the best of monkeys, the very splendid Suṣeṇa, put it into Lakṣmaṇa's nostrils.
6.101.45
सशल्यः स समाघ्राय लक्ष्मणः परवीरहा।
विशल्यो विरुजः शीघ्रमुदतिष्ठन्महीतलात् ॥ ६.१०१.४५ ॥
Still with the arrow in him, Lakṣmaṇa, slayer of enemy heroes, smelled the herb and at once, free of the arrow and free of pain, rose up from the ground.
6.101.46
तमुत्थितं तु हरयो भूतलात् प्रेक्ष्य लक्ष्मणम्।
साधुसाध्विति सुप्रीता लक्ष्मणं प्रत्यपूजयन् ॥ ६.१०१.४६ ॥
Seeing Lakṣmaṇa risen from the ground, the monkeys, greatly pleased, honored Lakṣmaṇa, crying, "Well done, well done!"

सस्वजे गाढमालिङ्गय बाष्पपर्याकुलेक्षणः ॥ ६.१०१.४७ ॥
Saying "Come, come!", Rāma, slayer of enemy heroes, clasped Lakṣmaṇa tightly in his embrace, his eyes filled with tears.
6.101.48
अब्रवीच्च परिष्वज्य सौमित्रिं राघवस्तदा।
दिष्ट्या त्वां वीर पश्यामि मरणात् पुनरागतम् ॥ ६.१०१.४८ ॥
Then Rāghava, embracing Saumitri, said: "O hero, by good fortune I see you returned again from death."
6.101.49
नहि मे जीवितेनार्थः सीतया च जयेन वा।
को हि मे जीवितेनार्थस्त्वयि पञ्चत्वमागते ॥ ६.१०१.४९ ॥
For me there is no purpose in life, nor in Sītā, nor in victory, if you have come to dissolution.
6.101.50
इत्येवं ब्रुवतस्तस्य राघवस्य महात्मनः।
खिन्नः शिथिलया वाचा लक्ष्मणो वाक्यमब्रवीत् ॥ ६.१०१.५० ॥
As the great-souled Rāghava spoke thus, Lakṣmaṇa, distressed, said these words in a faltering voice.
6.101.51
तां प्रतिज्ञां प्रतिज्ञाय पुरा सत्यपराक्रम।
लघुः कश्चिदिवासत्त्वो नैवं त्वं वक्तुमर्हसि ॥ ६.१०१.५१ ॥
O you of true valour, remember the vow you made before. You should not speak thus, like some lightweight, weak man.
6.101.52
नहि प्रतिज्ञां कुर्वन्ति वितथां सत्यवादिनः।
लक्षणं हि महत्त्वस्य प्रतिज्ञापरिपालनम् ॥ ६.१०१.५२ ॥
Truthful people do not make a vow that is false. Keeping one's vow is the mark of greatness.

वधेन रावणस्याद्य प्रतिज्ञामनुपालय ॥ ६.१०१.५३ ॥
O sinless one, you ought not fall into despair on my account. Today, by slaying Rāvaṇa, keep your vow.
6.101.54
न जीवन् यास्यते शत्रुस्तव बाणपथं गतः।
नर्दतस्तीक्ष्णदंष्ट्रस्य सिंहस्येव महागजः ॥ ६.१०१.५४ ॥
The enemy who has come into the path of your arrows will not depart alive, like a great elephant before a roaring lion with sharp fangs.
6.101.55
अहं तु वधमच्छामि शीघ्रमस्य दुरात्मनः।
यावदस्तं न यात्येष कृतकर्मा दिवाकरः ॥ ६.१०१.५५ ॥
I desire this wicked one's destruction quickly, before this sun, who has done his work, sets.
6.101.56
यदि वधमिच्छसि रावणस्य संख्ये
यदि च कृतां हि तवेच्छसि प्रतिज्ञाम्।
यदि तव राजसुताभिलाष आर्य
कुरु च वचो मम शीघ्रमद्य वीर ॥ ६.१०१.५६ ॥
If you desire Rāvaṇa's destruction in battle, if you wish to fulfill the vow you made, and if you have a desire for the princess, noble hero, then heed my words quickly today.
