ननु नाम तवोद्वेगाच्चारणाश्च दिशो गताः ॥ ६.१११.४ ॥
Even the great sages and famed gandharvas, and the cāraṇas too, fled in all directions out of fear of you, did they not?

न व्यपत्रपसे राजन् किमिदं राक्षसेश्वर ॥ ६.१११.५ ॥
You, defeated in battle by a mere human, Rāma, are you not ashamed, O king? O lord of the rākṣasas, what is this?

अविषह्यं जघान त्वां मानुषो वनगोचरः ॥ ६.१११.६ ॥

अथवा रामरूपेण कृतान्तः स्वयमागतः।
मायां तव विनाशाय विधायाप्रतितर्किताम् ॥ ६.१११.९ ॥
Or else Death himself has come in the form of Rāma, and for your destruction has wrought an illusion beyond all imagining.

व्यक्तमेष महायोगी परमात्मा सनातनः ॥ ६.१११.११ ॥
Like you, O mighty and valiant foe of the gods, of great splendor, this one is clearly a great yogin, the eternal supreme Self.

सर्वलोकेश्वरः श्रीमाँल्लोकानां हितकाम्यया ॥ ६.१११.१४ ॥
Surrounded by all the gods, who had taken on the form of monkeys, the lord of all worlds, the glorious one, out of desire for the welfare of the worlds (did this).
6.111.15
स राक्षसपरीवारं देवशत्रुं भयावहम्।
इन्द्रियाणि पुरा जित्वा जितं त्रिभुवनं त्वया ॥ ६.१११.१५ ॥
He, with his retinue of rākṣasas, is the enemy of the gods and a bringer of fear. Formerly, having conquered the senses, you conquered the three worlds.

यदैव नगरीं लङ्कां दुष्प्रवेशां सुरैरपि ॥ ६.१११.१७ ॥
Then your brother Khara was slain, and Rāma was not an ordinary mortal. When, into the city of Laṅkā, hard to enter even for the gods—

प्रविष्टो हनुमान् वीर्यात् तदैव व्यथिता वयम्।
क्रियतामविरोधश्च राघवेणेति यन्मया ॥ ६.१११.१८ ॥
When Hanumān entered by his valour, then we were distressed. Let there be no obstruction to whatever Rāghava (Rāma) does — this is what I have said.
6.111.19
उच्यमानो न गृह्णासि तस्येयं व्युष्टिरागता।
अकस्माच्चाभिकामोऽसि सीतां राक्षसपुङ्गव ॥ ६.१११.१९ ॥
Though I tell you, you do not heed; the consequence of that has come. O best of rākṣasas, suddenly you have desired Sītā.

अरुन्धत्या विशिष्टां तां रोहिण्याश्चापि दुर्मते ॥ ६.१११.२० ॥

वसुधाया हि वसुधां श्रियाः श्रीं भर्तृवत्सलाम् ॥ ६.१११.२१ ॥

6.111.22
सीतां सर्वानवद्याङ्गीमरण्ये विजने शुभाम्।
आनयित्वा तु तां दीनां छद्मनाऽऽत्मस्वदूषणम् ॥ ६.१११.२२ ॥
Having brought the wholly faultless and auspicious Sītā into a lonely forest by deceit, and having carried off that wretched woman, you have defiled yourself.

अप्राप्य तं चैव कामं मैथिलीसंगमे कृतम्।
पतिव्रतायास्तपसा नूनं दग्धोऽसि मे प्रभो ॥ ६.१११.२३ ॥
Though your desire for union with Maithilī has not been fulfilled, O lord, surely by the austerity of the chaste wife you have already been consumed.
6.111.24
तदैव यन्न दग्धस्त्वं धर्षयंस्तनुमध्यमाम्।
देवा बिभ्यति ते सर्वे सेन्द्राः साग्निपुरोगमाः ॥ ६.१११.२४ ॥
Since you were not burned at that very moment, while you were tormenting that slender-waisted woman, now all the gods, with Indra and with Agni at their head, are afraid of you.
6.111.25
अवश्यमेव लभते फलं पापस्य कर्मणः।
भर्तः पर्यागते काले कर्ता नास्त्यत्र संशयः ॥ ६.१११.२५ ॥

विभीषणः सुखं प्राप्तस्त्वं प्राप्तः पापमीदृशम् ॥ ६.१११.२६ ॥

अनङ्गवशमापन्नस्त्वं तु मोहान्न बुद्ध्यसे ॥ ६.१११.२७ ॥
There are other women for you, superior to her in beauty. Having fallen under the power of Love, you do not understand this out of delusion.

मयाधिका वा तुल्या वा तत् तु मोहान्न बुद्ध्यसे ॥ ६.१११.२८ ॥
Neither in family, nor in beauty, nor in graciousness is Maithilī superior to me or equal to me; this you do not understand out of delusion.

तव तद्वदयं मृत्युर्मैथिलीकृतलक्षणः ॥ ६.१११.२९ ॥

मैथिली सह रामेण विशोका विहरिष्यति ॥ ६.१११.३० ॥
The death arising from Sītā as its cause you have brought here from afar. Maithilī, together with Rāma, will live on in joy, free from sorrow.

अल्पपुण्या त्वहं घोरे पतिता शोकसागरे।
कैलासे मन्दरे मेरौ तथा चैत्ररथे वने ॥ ६.१११.३१ ॥
