सबले सागरं तीर्णे रामे दशरथात्मजे।
अमात्यौ रावणः श्रीमानब्रवीच्छुकसारणौ ॥ ६.२५.१ ॥
When Rāma, son of Daśaratha, had crossed the ocean with his army, the glorious Rāvaṇa spoke to his two ministers, Śuka and Sāraṇa.
6.25.2
समग्रं सागरं तीर्णं दुस्तरं वानरं बलम्।
अभूतपूर्वं रामेण सागरे सेतुबन्धनम् ॥ ६.२५.२ ॥
The entire monkey army, hard to cross over, has crossed the ocean; and Rāma has built a bridge over the sea, something never done before.
6.25.3
सागरे सेतुबन्धं तं न श्रद्दध्यां कथंचन।
अवश्यं चापि संख्येयं तन्मया वानरं बलम् ॥ ६.२५.३ ॥
I do not believe in any way that bridge was built over the sea; but I must certainly count that monkey army myself.
6.25.4
भवन्तौ वानरं सैन्यं प्रविश्यानुपलक्षितौ।
परिमाणं च वीर्यं च ये च मुख्याः प्लवंगमाः ॥ ६.२५.४ ॥
You two, having entered the monkey army unnoticed, should learn its size and its might, and who the chief leaping monkeys are.
6.25.5
मन्त्रिणो ये च रामस्य सुग्रीवस्य च सम्मताः।
ये पूर्वमभिवर्तन्ते ये च शूराः प्लवंगमाः ॥ ६.२५.५ ॥
Also see who are the counselors esteemed by Rāma and by Sugrīva, who come forward first, and who are the heroic leaping monkeys.
6.25.6
स च सेतुर्यथा बद्धः सागरे सलिलार्णवे।
निवेशं च यथा तेषां वानराणां महात्मनाम् ॥ ६.२५.६ ॥
See how that bridge was built across the ocean of water, and how the encampment of those great-souled monkeys is arranged.
6.25.7
रामस्य व्यवसायं च वीर्यं प्रहरणानि च।
लक्ष्मणस्य च वीरस्य तत्त्वतो ज्ञातुमर्हथः ॥ ६.२५.७ ॥
You two should truly learn Rāma's resolve, his valour and his weapons, and those of the heroic Lakṣmaṇa.
6.25.8
कश्च सेनापतिस्तेषां वानराणां महात्मनाम्।
तच्च ज्ञात्वा यथातत्त्वं शीघ्रमागन्तुमर्हथः ॥ ६.२५.८ ॥
And having learned truly who the commander of those great-souled monkeys is, you two should return quickly.

The two heroes, bearing monkey forms, entered the monkey army.

ततस्तद् वानरं सैन्यमचिन्त्यं लोमहर्षणम्।
संख्यातुं नाध्यगच्छेतां तदा तौ शुकसारणौ ॥ ६.२५.१० ॥
Then Śuka and Sāraṇa were unable to count that unthinkable, hair-raising monkey army.
6.25.11
तत् स्थितं पर्वताग्रेषु निर्झरेषु गुहासु च।
समुद्रस्य च तीरेषु वनेषूपवनेषु च।
तरमाणं च तीर्णं च तर्तुकामं च सर्वशः ॥ ६.२५.११ ॥
That host was stationed on mountain peaks, at waterfalls, in caves, on the ocean shores, in forests and groves; some were crossing, some had crossed, and some wished to cross, everywhere.
6.25.12
निविष्टं निविशच्चैव भीमनादं महाबलम्।
तद्बलार्णवमक्षोभ्यं ददृशाते निशाचरौ ॥ ६.२५.१२ ॥
The two night-wanderers saw that unshakable ocean of might, encamped and still encamping, roaring terribly and greatly powerful.
6.25.13
तौ ददर्श महातेजाः प्रतिच्छन्नौ विभीषणः।
आचचक्षे स रामाय गृहीत्वा शुकसारणौ ॥ ६.२५.१३ ॥
Vibhīṣaṇa, of great splendor, saw those two in disguise. Seizing Śuka and Sāraṇa, he reported to Rāma.
6.25.14
तस्यैतौ राक्षसेन्द्रस्य मन्त्रिणौ शुकसारणौ।
लङ्कायाः समनुप्राप्तौ चारौ परपुरंजय ॥ ६.२५.१४ ॥
These two are Śuka and Sāraṇa, counselors of that lord of the rākṣasas, spies who have come from Laṅkā, O conqueror of enemy cities.
6.25.15
तौ दृष्ट्वा व्यथितौ रामं निराशौ जीविते तथा।
कृताञ्जलिपुटौ भीतौ वचनं चेदमूचतुः ॥ ६.२५.१५ ॥
Seeing Rāma, the two were distressed, despairing of their lives and frightened; with palms joined they spoke these words.

अब्रवीत् प्रहसन् वाक्यं सर्वभूतहिते रतः ॥ ६.२५.१७ ॥
Having heard their words, Rāma, son of Daśaratha, devoted to the welfare of all beings, laughed and spoke these words.
6.25.18
यदि दृष्टं बलं सर्वं वयं वा सुसमाहिताः।
यथोक्तं वा कृतं कार्यं छन्दतः प्रतिगम्यताम् ॥ ६.२५.१८ ॥
If you have seen our whole strength, or if we, well composed, have done the task as was said, then go back at your will.

अथ किंचिददृष्टं वा भूयस्तद् द्रष्टुमर्हथः।
विभीषणो वा कात्स्र्न्येन पुनः संदर्शयिष्यति ॥ ६.२५.१९ ॥
If something has not been seen, you two should see it again; or Vibhīṣaṇa himself will show it all again in full.
6.25.20
न चेदं ग्रहणं प्राप्य भेतव्यं जीवितं प्रति।
न्यस्तशस्त्रौ गृहीतौ च न दूतौ वधमर्हथः ॥ ६.२५.२० ॥
If this is a capture, you should not fear for your lives; envoys who have laid down their weapons and been seized do not deserve death.
6.25.21
प्रच्छन्नौ च विमुञ्चेमौ चारौ रात्रिंचरावुभौ।
शत्रुपक्षस्य सततं विभीषण विकर्षिणौ ॥ ६.२५.२१ ॥

तद् दर्शय यथाकामं ससैन्यश्च सबान्धवः ॥ ६.२५.२३ ॥
The strength on which you relied when you carried off my Sītā, show it as you wish, with your army and your kinsmen.

रक्षसां च बलं पश्य शरैर्विध्वंसितं मया ॥ ६.२५.२४ ॥
Tomorrow morning you will see the city of Laṅkā, with its ramparts and gateways, and the army of the rākṣasas, destroyed by my arrows.
6.25.25
क्रोधं भीममहं मोक्ष्ये ससैन्ये त्वयि रावण।
श्वः काल्ये वज्रवान् वज्रं दानवेष्विव वासवः ॥ ६.२५.२५ ॥
O Rāvaṇa, as Indra, wielder of the thunderbolt, hurls his thunderbolt upon the Dānavas, so tomorrow morning I shall release my terrible wrath upon you with your army.
6.25.26
जयेति प्रतिनन्द्यैनं राघवं धर्मवत्सलम् ॥ ६.२५.२६ ॥
Saying "Victory!", he greeted in return Rāghava, who is fond of dharma.

दृष्ट्वा धर्मात्मना मुक्तौ रामेणामिततेजसा।
एकस्थानगता यत्र चत्वारः पुरुषर्षभाः ॥ ६.२५.२८ ॥
Seen by Rāma, the righteous-souled one of boundless splendor, they were released; and there, gathered in one place, were the four bulls among men.
6.25.29
लोकपालसमाः शूराः कृतास्त्रा दृढविक्रमाः।
रामो दाशरथिः श्रीमाल्ँलक्ष्मणश्च विभीषणः ॥ ६.२५.२९ ॥
Heroes equal to the world-guardians, skilled in weapons, of firm valor: Rāma, the glorious son of Daśaratha, Lakṣmaṇa, and Vibhīṣaṇa.

सुग्रीवश्च महातेजा महेन्द्रसमविक्रमः।
एते शक्ताः पुरीं लङ्कां सप्राकारां सतोरणाम् ॥ ६.२५.३० ॥
And Sugrīva, of great splendor, whose valor equals Mahendra's—these are able to take the city of Laṅkā with its ramparts and gateways.
6.25.31
उत्पाट्य संक्रामयितुं सर्वे तिष्ठन्तु वानराः।
यादृशं तद्धि रामस्य रूपं प्रहरणानि च ॥ ६.२५.३१ ॥
Let all the vanaras stand ready to uproot and carry them across, as Rāma's form and weapons are.
6.25.32
वधिष्यति पुरीं लङ्कामेकस्तिष्ठन्तु ते त्रयः।
रामलक्ष्मणगुप्ता सा सुग्रीवेण च वाहिनी।
बभूव दुर्धर्षतरा सर्वैरपि सुरासुरैः ॥ ६.२५.३२ ॥
One alone will destroy the city of Laṅkā; let those three stand firm. Protected by Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa, that army together with Sugrīva became more unassailable even to all gods and demons.
6.25.33
प्रहृष्टयोधा ध्वजिनी महात्मनां
वनौकसां सम्प्रति योद्धुमिच्छताम्।

प्रदीयतां दाशरथाय मैथिली ॥ ६.२५.३३ ॥
The army of the great-souled forest-dwellers, with joyful warriors, now desires to fight. Enough of hostility; let peace be made, and let Maithilī be given back to the son of Daśaratha.
