6.72.1
अतिकायं हतं श्रुत्वा लक्ष्मणेन महात्मना।
उद्वेगमगमद् राजा वचनं चेदमब्रवीत् ॥ ६.७२.१ ॥
Hearing that Atikāya had been slain by the great-souled Lakṣmaṇa, the king was agitated and spoke these words.
6.72.2
धूम्राक्षः परमामर्षी सर्वशस्त्रभृतां वरः।
अकम्पनः प्रहस्तश्च कुम्भकर्णस्तथैव च ॥ ६.७२.२ ॥
Dhūmrākṣa, extremely wrathful and the best of all weapon-bearers, and Akampana, Prahasta, and likewise Kumbhakarṇa.
6.72.3
एते महाबला वीरा राक्षसा युद्धकाङ्क्षिणः।
जेतारः परसैन्यानां परैर्नित्यापराजिताः ॥ ६.७२.३ ॥
These mighty, heroic rākṣasas, desiring battle, conquerors of enemy armies, always unconquered by their foes.
6.72.4
ससैन्यास्ते हता वीरा रामेणाक्लिष्टकर्मणा।
राक्षसाः सुमहाकाया नानाशस्त्रविशारदाः ॥ ६.७२.४ ॥
With their armies, those heroic rākṣasas were slain by Rāma, whose deeds are effortless—rākṣasas of enormous bodies, skilled in many weapons.
6.72.5
अन्ये च बहवः शूरा महात्मानो निपातिताः।
प्रख्यातबलवीर्येण पुत्रेणेन्द्रजिता मम ॥ ६.७२.५ ॥
Many other brave, great-souled ones were also felled by my son Indrajit, renowned for his strength and valour.
6.72.6
तौ भ्रातरौ तदा बद्धौ घोरैर्दत्तवरैः शरैः।
यन्न शक्यं सुरैः सर्वैरसुरैर्वा महाबलैः ॥ ६.७२.६ ॥
Then those two brothers were bound by terrible arrows granted by boon—a feat impossible for all the gods, for the asuras, or for the mighty.
6.72.7
मोक्तुं तद्बन्धनं घोरं यक्षगन्धर्वपन्नगैः।
तन्न जाने प्रभावैर्वा मायया मोहनेन वा ॥ ६.७२.७ ॥
To loose that terrible bond laid by yakṣas, gandharvas and serpents — I do not know whether it was by their power, or by illusion or bewilderment.
6.72.8
शरबन्धाद् विमुक्तौ तौ भ्रातरौ रामलक्ष्मणौ।
ये योधा निर्गताः शूरा राक्षसा मम शासनात् ॥ ६.७२.८ ॥
Those two brothers, Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa, freed from the arrow-bond — the heroic rākṣasa warriors who went out at my command.
6.72.9
ते सर्वे निहता युद्धे वानरैः सुमहाबलैः।
तं न पश्याम्यहं युद्धे योऽद्य रामं सलक्ष्मणम् ॥ ६.७२.९ ॥
All of them were slain in battle by the mighty vānaras. I see no one today in battle who could destroy Rāma together with Lakṣmaṇa.
6.72.10
नाशयेत् सबलं वीरं ससुग्रीवं विभीषणम्।
अहो सुबलवान् रामो महदस्त्रबलं च वै ॥ ६.७२.१० ॥
Who could destroy that hero with his army, together with Sugrīva and Vibhīṣaṇa? Ah! Rāma is exceedingly strong, and his power of weapons is great indeed.
6.72.11
यस्य विक्रममासाद्य राक्षसा निधनं गताः।
तं मन्ये राघवं वीरं नारायणमनामयम् ॥ ६.७२.११ ॥
Against whose prowess the rākṣasas met their death — that hero Rāghava I deem to be the unblemished Nārāyaṇa.
6.72.12
तद्भयाद्धि पुरी लङ्का पिहितद्वारतोरणा।
अप्रमत्तैश्च सर्वत्र गुल्मे रक्ष्या पुरी त्वियम् ॥ ६.७२.१२ ॥
Out of that fear, let this city of Laṅkā have its gates and arches shut; and let the city be guarded everywhere by vigilant companies of watchmen.
6.72.13
अशोकवनिका चैव यत्र सीताभिरक्ष्यते।
निष्क्रमो वा प्रवेशो वा ज्ञातव्यः सर्वदैव नः ॥ ६.७२.१३ ॥
Wherever the Aśoka grove is, and where Sītā is guarded, our knowledge of going out or coming in must always be kept.
6.72.14
यत्र यत्र भवेद् गुल्मस्तत्र तत्र पुनः पुनः।
सर्वतश्चापि तिष्ठध्वं स्वैः स्वैः परिवृता बलैः ॥ ६.७२.१४ ॥
Wherever there is a guard post, there again and again, on every side, stand firm, each surrounded by his own troops.
6.72.15
द्रष्टव्यं च पदं तेषां वानराणां निशाचराः।
प्रदोषे वार्धरात्रे वा प्रत्यूषे वापि सर्वशः ॥ ६.७२.१५ ॥
O night-wanderers, the positions of those monkeys must be watched at dusk, at midnight, or at dawn, always.
6.72.16
नावज्ञा तत्र कर्तव्या वानरेषु कदाचन।
द्विषतां बलमुद्युक्तमापतत् किं स्थितं यथा ॥ ६.७२.१६ ॥
Never show contempt toward the monkeys; who knows when and how an enemy's prepared army may strike?
6.72.17
ततस्ते राक्षसाः सर्वे श्रुत्वा लङ्काधिपस्य तत्।
वचनं सर्वमातिष्ठन् यथावत् तु महाबलाः ॥ ६.७२.१७ ॥
Then all those mighty rākṣasas, hearing that command of the lord of Laṅkā, carried it out duly.
6.72.18
तान् सर्वान् हि समादिश्य रावणो राक्षसाधिपः।
मन्युशल्यं वहन् दीनः प्रविवेश स्वमालयम् ॥ ६.७२.१८ ॥
Having given orders to all of them, Rāvaṇa, lord of the rākṣasas, bearing the barb of anger in his heart, downcast, entered his own dwelling.
6.72.19
ततः स संदीपितकोपवह्नि-
र्निशाचराणामधिपो महाबलः।
तदेव पुत्रव्यसनं विचिन्तयन्
मुहुर्मुहुश्चैव तदा विनिःश्वसन् ॥ ६.७२.१९ ॥
Then the mighty lord of the night-wanderers, his fire of anger kindled, brooding again and again upon that very ruin of his sons, breathed out long, heavy sighs.
