6.64.1
तदुक्तमतिकायस्य बलिनो बाहुशालिनः।
कुम्भकर्णस्य वचनं श्रुत्वोवाच महोदरः ॥ ६.६४.१ ॥
Having heard these words of the strong, mighty-armed Kumbhakarṇa, whose body was huge, Mahodara spoke.
6.64.2
कुम्भकर्ण कुले जातो धृष्टः प्राकृतदर्शनः।
अवलिप्तो न शक्नोषि कृत्यं सर्वत्र वेदितुम् ॥ ६.६४.२ ॥
Kumbhakarṇa, you were born into a noble family, yet you are bold and of ordinary appearance. Arrogant, you are not able to know the proper course of action in every matter.
6.64.3
नहि राजा न जानीते कुम्भकर्ण नयानयौ।
त्वं तु कैशोरकाद् धृष्टः केवलं वक्तुमिच्छसि ॥ ६.६४.३ ॥
Kumbhakarṇa, it is not that the king does not know right policy from wrong. But you, bold from your youth, merely wish to speak.
6.64.4
स्थानं वृद्धिं च हानिं च देशकालविधानवित्।
आत्मनश्च परेषां च बुध्यते राक्षसर्षभः ॥ ६.६४.४ ॥
That chief of rakshasas, who knows the rules of place and time, understands his own position, growth and decline, and those of others.
6.64.5
यत् त्वशक्यं बलवता वक्तुं प्राकृतबुद्धिना।
अनुपासितवृद्धेन कः कुर्यात् तादृशं बुधः ॥ ६.६४.५ ॥
What even a strong man cannot say, a man of ordinary understanding who has not served his elders says — what wise man would do such a thing?
6.64.6
यांस्तु धर्मार्थकामांस्त्वं ब्रवीषि पृथगाश्रयान्।
अवबोद्धुं स्वभावेन नहि लक्षणमस्ति तान् ॥ ६.६४.६ ॥
Those dharma, artha and kāma which you speak of as having separate bases — there is no mark by which they can be understood by nature.
6.64.7
कर्म चैव हि सर्वेषां कारणानां प्रयोजनम्।
श्रेयः पापीयसां चात्र फलं भवति कर्मणाम् ॥ ६.६४.७ ॥
Action is indeed the purpose of all causes; here, even for the sinful, the fruit of their deeds becomes good.
6.64.8
निःश्रेयसफलावेव धर्मार्थावितरावपि।
अधर्मानर्थयोः प्राप्तं फलं च प्रत्यवायिकम् ॥ ६.६४.८ ॥
Dharma and artha both yield the highest good as their fruit, and so do the others; but the fruit of adharma and disaster is harmful.
6.64.9
ऐहलौकिकपारक्यं कर्म पुंभिर्निषेव्यते।
कर्माण्यपि तु कल्याणि लभते काममास्थितः ॥ ६.६४.९ ॥
Men pursue actions concerning this world and the next; and even so, O auspicious one, one who has taken refuge in deeds obtains the desired end.
6.64.10
तत्र क्लृप्तमिदं राज्ञा हृदि कार्यं मतं च नः।
शत्रौ हि साहसं यत् तत् किमिवात्रापनीयते ॥ ६.६४.१० ॥
Regarding this, the king has firmly resolved in his heart, and this is our opinion as well: how can the boldness shown toward an enemy be set aside here?
6.64.11
एकस्यैवाभियाने तु हेतुर्यः प्राहृतस्त्वया।
तत्राप्यनुपपन्नं ते वक्ष्यामि यदसाधु च ॥ ६.६४.११ ॥
Even in the reason you gave for attacking a single man, your argument is unsound; therefore I shall tell you what is also unfitting.
6.64.12
येन पूर्वं जनस्थाने बहवोऽतिबला हताः।
राक्षसा राघवं तं त्वं कथमेको जयिष्यसि ॥ ६.६४.१२ ॥
That Rāghava, by whom many exceedingly strong rākṣasas were slain formerly in Janasthāna — how will you alone conquer him?
6.64.13
ये पूर्वं निर्जितास्तेन जनस्थाने महौजसः।
राक्षसांस्तान् पुरे सर्वान् भीतानद्य न पश्यसि ॥ ६.६४.१३ ॥
Do you not see all those rākṣasas of great might, whom he defeated before in Janasthāna, now frightened in the city?
6.64.14
तं सिंहमिव संक्रुद्धं रामं दशरथात्मजम्।
सर्पं सुप्तमहो बुद्ध्वा प्रबोधयितुमिच्छसि ॥ ६.६४.१४ ॥
You wish to awaken Rāma, son of Daśaratha, enraged like a lion, as if knowing a sleeping serpent, you desire to rouse it!
6.64.15
ज्वलन्तं तेजसा नित्यं क्रोधेन च दुरासदम्।
कस्तं मृत्युमिवासह्यमासादयितुमर्हति ॥ ६.६४.१५ ॥
Who is fit to approach him, always blazing with splendour, hard to approach in anger, unbearable like Death?
6.64.16
संशयस्थमिदं सर्वं शत्रोः प्रतिसमासने।
एकस्य गमनं तात नहि मे रोचते भृशम् ॥ ६.६४.१६ ॥
O dear one! In facing the enemy face to face, all this is uncertain; your going alone does not please me at all.
6.64.17
हीनार्थस्तु समृद्धार्थं को रिपुं प्राकृतं यथा।
निश्चितं जीवितत्यागे वशमानेतुमिच्छति ॥ ६.६४.१७ ॥
Who, whose aim is lacking, would desire to bring under his control an ordinary enemy whose aim is fulfilled and who is resolved to give up his life?
6.64.18
यस्य नास्ति मनुष्येषु सदृशो राक्षसोत्तम।
कथमाशंससे योद्धुं तुल्येनेन्द्रविवस्वतोः ॥ ६.६४.१८ ॥
O best of rākṣasas! How do you hope to fight him, who has no equal among men, one equal to Indra and Vivasvat?
6.64.19
एवमुक्त्वा तु संरब्धं कुम्भकर्णं महोदरः।
उवाच रक्षसां मध्ये रावणं लोकरावणम् ॥ ६.६४.१९ ॥
Having thus spoken to the enraged Kumbhakarṇa, Mahodara addressed Rāvaṇa, the terror of the worlds, in the midst of the rākṣasas.
6.64.20
लब्ध्वा पुरस्ताद् वैदेहीं किमर्थं त्वं विलम्बसे।
यदीच्छसि तदा सीता वशगा ते भविष्यति ॥ ६.६४.२० ॥
Having already obtained Vaidehī, why do you delay? If you desire it, Sītā will then come under your power.
6.64.21
दृष्टः कश्चिदुपायो मे सीतोपस्थानकारकः।
रुचितश्चेत् स्वया बुद्ध्या राक्षसेन्द्र ततः शृणु ॥ ६.६४.२१ ॥
I have found a certain means that will bring Sītā into your presence. If it pleases your own judgment, lord of the rākṣasas, listen.
6.64.22
अहं द्विजिह्वः संह्रादी कुम्भकर्णो वितर्दनः।
पञ्च रामवधायैते निर्यान्तीत्यवघोषय ॥ ६.६४.२२ ॥
I, Dvijihva, Saṃhrādi, Kumbhakarṇa and Vitardana — these five are setting out for the slaying of Rāma. Proclaim this.
6.64.23
ततो गत्वा वयं युद्धं दास्यामस्तस्य यत्नतः।
जेष्यामो यदि ते शत्रून् नोपायैः कार्यमस्ति नः ॥ ६.६४.२३ ॥
Then, going forth, we shall give battle to him with effort. If we conquer your enemies, there will be no need for stratagems on our part.
6.64.24
अथ जीवति नः शत्रुर्वयं च कृतसंयुगाः।
ततः समभिपत्स्यामो मनसा यत् समीक्षितम् ॥ ६.६४.२४ ॥
But if our enemy still lives, we, prepared for battle, shall fall upon him as we have resolved in our minds.
6.64.25
वयं युद्धादिहैष्यामो रुधिरेण समुक्षिताः।
विदार्य स्वतनुं बाणै रामनामाङ्कितैः शरैः ॥ ६.६४.२५ ॥
We shall return here from the battle, drenched in blood, having torn our own bodies with arrows marked with Rāma's name.
6.64.26
भक्षितो राघवोऽस्माभिर्लक्ष्मणश्चेति वादिनः।
ततः पादौ ग्रहीष्यामस्त्वं नः कामं प्रपूरय ॥ ६.६४.२६ ॥
Saying, "We have devoured Rāghava and Lakṣmaṇa," then we shall seize your feet—fulfil our desire.
6.64.27
ततोऽवघोषय पुरे गजस्कन्धेन पार्थिव।
हतो रामः सह भ्रात्रा ससैन्य इति सर्वतः ॥ ६.६४.२७ ॥
Then, O king, from the back of an elephant proclaim throughout the city that Rāma has been slain with his brother and army.
6.64.28
प्रीतो नाम ततो भूत्वा भृत्यानां त्वमरिंदम।
भोगांश्च परिवारांश्च कामान् वसु च दापय ॥ ६.६४.२८ ॥
O subduer of foes, then, being pleased, have enjoyments, retinues, desires and wealth bestowed upon your servants.
6.64.29
ततो माल्यानि वासांसि वीराणामनुलेपनम्।
पेयं च बहु योधेभ्यः स्वयं च मुदितः पिब ॥ ६.६४.२९ ॥
Then give garlands, garments and unguents to the heroes, and plenty of drink to the warriors; and you yourself, delighted, drink.
6.64.30
ततोऽस्मिन् बहुलीभूते कौलीने सर्वतो गते।
भक्षितः ससुहृद् रामो राक्षसैरिति विश्रुते ॥ ६.६४.३० ॥
Then, when this rumour has spread everywhere and become famous, that Rāma with his allies has been devoured by the rākṣasas.
6.64.31
प्रविश्याश्वास्य चापि त्वं सीतां रहसि सान्त्वयन्।
धनधान्यैश्च कामैश्च रत्नैश्चैनां प्रलोभय ॥ ६.६४.३१ ॥
Go in, and comforting Sītā in private, tempt her with wealth, grain, desirable things and jewels.
6.64.32
अनयोपधया राजन् भूयः शोकानुबन्धया।
अकामा त्वद्वशं सीता नष्टनाथा गमिष्यति ॥ ६.६४.३२ ॥
O king, by this stratagem, repeatedly bound to sorrow, Sītā, unwilling and with her protector lost, will come under your power.
6.64.33
रमणीयं हि भर्तारं विनष्टमधिगम्य सा।
नैराश्यात् स्त्रीलघुत्वाच्च त्वद्वशं प्रतिपत्स्यते ॥ ६.६४.३३ ॥
Learning that her lovely husband is lost, she will submit to your power out of despair and the frailty of women.
6.64.34
सा पुरा सुखसंवृद्धा सुखार्हा दुःखकर्शिता।
त्वय्यधीनं सुखं ज्ञात्वा सर्वथैव गमिष्यति ॥ ६.६४.३४ ॥
She, once reared in happiness and worthy of it, worn down by sorrow, knowing that happiness lies in your power, will surely go to you.
6.64.35

रामं हि दृष्ट्वैव भवेदनर्थः।
इहैव ते सेत्स्यति मोत्सुको भू-
र्महानयुद्धेन सुखस्य लाभः ॥ ६.६४.३५ ॥
In my judgment this is the wise course, for merely seeing Rāma could bring ruin. Your purpose will be accomplished right here; do not be eager. Without battle you will gain great happiness.

अनष्टसैन्यो ह्यनवाप्तसंशयो
रिपुं त्वयुद्धेन जयञ्जनाधिपः।

The king who conquers his enemy without battle, his army unharmed and free from doubt, O lord of the earth, enjoys great fame, merit, prosperity and renown for a long time.
