6.15.1
बृहस्पतेस्तुल्यमतेर्वचस्त-
न्निशम्य यत्नेन विभीषणस्य।
ततो महात्मा वचनं बभाषे
तत्रेन्द्रजिन्नैर्ऋतयूथमुख्यः ॥ ६.१५.१ ॥
Having heard with care the words of Vibhīṣaṇa, whose wisdom equalled that of Bṛhaspati, then the great-souled Indrajit, chief of the rākṣasa host, spoke there these words.
6.15.2
किं नाम ते तात कनिष्ठ वाक्य-
मनर्थकं वै बहुभीतवच्च।
अस्मिन् कुले योऽपि भवेन्न जातः
सोऽपीदृशं नैव वदेन्न कुर्यात् ॥ ६.१५.२ ॥
Dear youngest brother, why is your speech so meaningless and like that of one greatly afraid? Even one not born in this family would neither say nor do such a thing.
6.15.3
सत्त्वेन वीर्येण पराक्रमेण
धैर्येण शौर्येण च तेजसा च।
एकः कुलेऽस्मिन् पुरुषो विमुक्तो
विभीषणस्तात कनिष्ठ एषः ॥ ६.१५.३ ॥
Dear one, in this family the only man distinguished by inner strength, valour, prowess, steadiness, heroism and splendour is this one — Vibhīṣaṇa, this youngest brother.
6.15.4
किं नाम तौ मानुषराजपुत्रा-
वस्माकमेकेन हि राक्षसेन।
सुप्राकृतेनापि निहन्तुमेतौ
शक्यौ कुतो भीषयसे स्म भीरो ॥ ६.१५.४ ॥
Can not even a single ordinary rākṣasa among us slay those two sons of a human king? Coward, then why do you frighten yourself so?
6.15.5
त्रिलोकनाथो ननु देवराजः
शक्रो मया भूमितले निविष्टः।
भयार्पिताश्चापि दिशः प्रपन्नाः
सर्वे तदा देवगणाः समग्राः ॥ ६.१५.५ ॥
Indra, king of the gods and lord of the three worlds, was brought low by me upon the earth; then, struck with fear, the quarters and all the multitudes of gods sought refuge.
6.15.6
ऐरावतो निःस्वनमुन्नदन् स
निपातितो भूमितले मया तु।
विकृष्य दन्तौ तु मया प्रसह्य
वित्रासिता देवगणाः समग्राः ॥ ६.१५.६ ॥
Airāvata, bellowing loudly, was felled to the ground by me; and I forcibly dragged out its tusks, and all the hosts of gods were terrified.
6.15.7
सोऽहं सुराणामपि दर्पहन्ता
दैत्योत्तमानामपि शोककर्ता।
कथं नरेन्द्रात्मजयोर्न शक्तो
मनुष्ययोः प्राकृतयोः सुवीर्यः ॥ ६.१५.७ ॥
I, who crush the pride of the gods and bring grief even to the best of the Daityas, how can I not show my valour against these two ordinary men, the sons of the king of men?
6.15.8
अथेन्द्रकल्पस्य दुरासदस्य
महौजसस्तद् वचनं निशम्य।
ततो महार्थं वचनं बभाषे
विभीषणः शस्त्रभृतां वरिष्ठः ॥ ६.१५.८ ॥
Having heard those words of Rāvaṇa, who was like Indra, hard to approach, and of great might, then Vibhīṣaṇa, foremost of those who bear weapons, spoke words of great purpose.
6.15.9
न तात मन्त्रे तव निश्चयोऽस्ति
बालस्त्वमद्याप्यविपक्वबुद्धिः।
तस्मात् त्वयाप्यात्मविनाशनाय
वचोऽर्थहीनं बहु विप्रलप्तम् ॥ ६.१५.९ ॥
Dear one, there is no firm resolve in your counsel; you are still a child, your understanding is immature. Therefore, for your own destruction, you have spoken many meaningless and idle words.
6.15.10
पुत्रप्रवादेन तु रावणस्य
त्वमिन्द्रजिन्मित्रमुखोऽसि शत्रुः।
यस्येदृशं राघवतो विनाशं
निशम्य मोहादनुमन्यसे त्वम् ॥ ६.१५.१० ॥
Under the pretext of being Rāvaṇa's son, Indrajit, you are an enemy with a friend's face; hearing of such destruction for Rāghava, out of delusion you approve it.
6.15.11
त्वमेव वध्यश्च सुदुर्मतिश्च
स चापि वध्यो य इहानयत् त्वाम्।
बालं दृढं साहसिकं च योऽद्य
प्रावेशयन्मन्त्रकृतां समीपम् ॥ ६.१५.११ ॥
You yourself deserve to be slain, so ill-minded are you. And he who today brought you here and led you near the counsellors also deserves to be slain. You are a foolish, stubborn, reckless boy.
6.15.12
मूढोऽप्रगल्भोऽविनयोपपन्न-
स्तीक्ष्णस्वभावोऽल्पमतिर्दुरात्मा।
मूर्खस्त्वमत्यन्तसुदुर्मतिश्च
त्वमिन्द्रजिद् बालतया ब्रवीषि ॥ ६.१५.१२ ॥
You are deluded, immature, lacking in courtesy, harsh of nature, small of understanding, and wicked of soul. You are a fool and exceedingly ill-minded; Indrajit, it is out of childishness that you speak thus.
6.15.13
को ब्रह्मदण्डप्रतिमप्रकाशा-
नर्चिष्मतः कालनिकाशरूपान्।
सहेत बाणान् यमदण्डकल्पान्
समक्षमुक्तान् युधि राघवेण ॥ ६.१५.१३ ॥
Who could endure those blazing arrows, shining like Brahmā's rod, with the form of Time, like Yama's staff, loosed before his very eyes in battle by Rāghava?
6.15.14
धनानि रत्नानि सुभूषणानि
वासांसि दिव्यानि मणींश्च चित्रान्।
सीतां च रामाय निवेद्य देवीं
वसेम राजन्निह वीतशोकाः ॥ ६.१५.१४ ॥
Having presented to Rāma wealth, gems, fine ornaments, divine garments, and wondrous jewels, and the goddess Sītā herself, let us dwell here, O king, free from sorrow.
