6.13.1
रावणं क्रुद्धमाज्ञाय महापार्श्वो महाबलः।
मुहूर्तमनुसंचिन्त्य प्राञ्जलिर्वाक्यमब्रवीत् ॥ ६.१३.१ ॥
Knowing Rāvaṇa to be enraged, the mighty Mahāpārśva reflected for a moment and, with folded hands, spoke these words.
6.13.2
यः खल्वपि वनं प्राप्य मृगव्यालनिषेवितम्।
न पिबेन्मधु सम्प्राप्य स नरो बालिशो भवेत् ॥ ६.१३.२ ॥
Surely the man who, reaching a forest frequented by deer and wild beasts, obtains honey and yet does not drink it, would indeed be a fool.

ईश्वरस्येश्वरः कोऽस्ति तव शत्रुनिबर्हण।
रमस्व सह वैदेह्या शत्रूनाक्रम्य मूर्धसु ॥ ६.१३.३ ॥
O destroyer of enemies, who is a greater lord than you? Trample your foes underfoot and take your pleasure with Vaidehī.
6.13.4
बलात् कुक्कुटवृत्तेन प्रवर्तस्व महाबल।
आक्रम्याक्रम्य सीतां वै तां भुङ्क्ष्व च रमस्व च ॥ ६.१३.४ ॥

6.13.5
लब्धकामस्य ते पश्चादागमिष्यति किं भयम्।
प्राप्तमप्राप्तकालं वा सर्वं प्रतिविधास्यसे ॥ ६.१३.५ ॥
Once your desire is fulfilled, what fear could come to you afterwards? Whatever has arrived, or has not yet arrived in its time, you will counter it all.
6.13.6
कुम्भकर्णः सहास्माभिरिन्द्रजिच्च महाबलः।
प्रतिषेधयितुं शक्तौ सवज्रमपि वज्रिणम् ॥ ६.१३.६ ॥
Kumbhakarṇa, together with us, and the mighty Indrajit, are capable of repelling even Indra, the thunder-wielder, together with his thunderbolt.
6.13.7
उपप्रदानं सान्त्वं वा भेदं वा कुशलैः कृतम्।
समतिक्रम्य दण्डेन सिद्धिमर्थेषु रोचये ॥ ६.१३.७ ॥
Gifts, conciliation, or division, though skilfully employed, I think it best to pass beyond; success in our aims lies in force.
6.13.8
इह प्राप्तान् वयं सर्वाञ्छत्रूंस्तव महाबल।
वशे शस्त्रप्रतापेन करिष्यामो न संशयः ॥ ६.१३.८ ॥
O mighty one, all your enemies who have come here we shall bring under control by the might of our weapons; there is no doubt.
6.13.9
एवमुक्तस्तदा राजा महापार्श्वेन रावणः।
तस्य सम्पूजयन् वाक्यमिदं वचनमब्रवीत् ॥ ६.१३.९ ॥
Thus addressed by Mahāpārśva, King Rāvaṇa, honouring his words, then spoke these words.
6.13.10
महापार्श्व निबोध त्वं रहस्यं किंचिदात्मनः।
चिरवृत्तं तदाख्यास्ये यदवाप्तं पुरा मया ॥ ६.१३.१० ॥
Mahāpārśva, listen to some secret of mine; I shall tell you of that long-past event which befell me in former times.

पितामहस्य भवनं गच्छन्तीं पुञ्जिकस्थलाम्।
चञ्चूर्यमाणामद्राक्षमाकाशेऽग्निशिखामिव ॥ ६.१३.११ ॥
I saw Puñjikasthalā going to the abode of the Grandfather, shining in the sky like a tongue of fire.
6.13.12
सा प्रसह्य मया भुक्ता कृता विवसना ततः।
स्वयम्भूभवनं प्राप्ता लोलिता नलिनी यथा ॥ ६.१३.१२ ॥
I took her by force and left her unclothed; then she reached the abode of the Self-born, like a lotus shaken by the wind.
6.13.13
तच्च तस्य तथा मन्ये ज्ञातमासीन्महात्मनः।
अथ संकुपितो वेधा मामिदं वाक्यमब्रवीत् ॥ ६.१३.१३ ॥
I think that this became known to that great-souled one in this way. Then Brahmā, greatly enraged, spoke these words to me.
6.13.14
अद्यप्रभृति यामन्यां बलान्नारीं गमिष्यसि।
तदा ते शतधा मूर्धा फलिष्यति न संशयः ॥ ६.१३.१४ ॥
From this day on, whichever other woman you approach by force, then your head will split into a hundred pieces — there is no doubt of this.
6.13.15
इत्यहं तस्य शापस्य भीतः प्रसभमेव ताम्।
नारोहये बलात् सीतां वैदेहीं शयने शुभे ॥ ६.१३.१५ ॥
Thus, afraid of his curse, I did not forcibly raise Vaidehī Sītā onto that beautiful bed.
6.13.16
सागरस्येव मे वेगो मारुतस्येव मे गतिः।
नैतद् दाशरथिर्वेद ह्यासादयति तेन माम् ॥ ६.१३.१६ ॥
My force is like the ocean's, and my speed like the wind's; Daśaratha's son does not know this, and therefore he approaches me.
6.13.17
को हि सिंहमिवासीनं सुप्तं गिरिगुहाशये।
क्रुद्धं मृत्युमिवासीनं प्रबोधयितुमिच्छति ॥ ६.१३.१७ ॥
Who would wish to wake one who sits like a lion sleeping in a mountain cave, or like an enraged Death?
6.13.18
न मत्तो निर्गतान् बाणान् द्विजिह्वान् पन्नगानिव।
रामः पश्यति संग्रामे तेन मामभिगच्छति ॥ ६.१३.१८ ॥
In battle Rāma does not see the arrows that come forth from me like two-tongued serpents; therefore he comes toward me.
6.13.19
क्षिप्रं वज्रसमैर्बाणैः शतधा कार्मुकच्युतैः।
राममादीपयिष्यामि उल्काभिरिव कुञ्जरम् ॥ ६.१३.१९ ॥
Swiftly, with arrows like thunderbolts shot from my bow, a hundredfold, I will set Rāma ablaze, as one sets an elephant ablaze with firebrands.
6.13.20
तच्चास्य बलमादास्ये बलेन महता वृतः।
उदितः सविता काले नक्षत्राणां प्रभामिव ॥ ६.१३.२० ॥
And his army I will seize, surrounded by a great host, as the sun, risen at its appointed time, takes the light of the stars.
6.13.21
न वासवेनापि सहस्रचक्षुषा
युधास्मि शक्यो वरुणेन वा पुनः।
मया त्वियं बाहुबलेन निर्जिता
पुरा पुरी वैश्रवणेन पालिता ॥ ६.१३.२१ ॥
Not by Vāsava, the thousand-eyed, nor by Varuṇa could I be conquered in battle. But this city, once protected by Vaiśravaṇa, I conquered by the strength of my arms.
