बद्धं बलवता वैरमक्षयं राघवेण च ॥ ६.९४.१२ ॥

Having heard that the mighty Kumbhakarṇa was slain by the Rāghava, and that then the unassailable Atikāya was slain by Lakṣmaṇa, Rāvaṇa still does not perceive the peril of his beloved son Indrajit.

रावणस्याभयं दत्तं मनुष्येभ्यो न याचितम् ॥ ६.९४.२९ ॥
By the pleased grandfather (Brahmā), fearlessness was granted to Rāvaṇa from gods, dānavas and rākṣasas; from humans it was not requested by him.

जीवितान्तकरं घोरं रक्षसां रावणस्य च ॥ ६.९४.३० ॥
I think this human fear has surely arrived, life-ending and terrible, for the rākṣasas and for Rāvaṇa too.
6.94.31
पीड्यमानास्तु बलिना वरदानेन रक्षसा।
दीप्तैस्तपोभिर्विबुधाः पितामहमपूजयन् ॥ ६.९४.३१ ॥
Oppressed by the mighty rakshasa, who had obtained a boon, the gods worshipped the Grandsire with blazing austerities.

उत्पत्स्यति हितार्थं वो नारी रक्षःक्षयावहा ॥ ६.९४.३५ ॥
Pleased, Mahādeva said this to the gods: 'For your welfare a woman will arise, who will bring about the destruction of the rakshasas.'

भक्षयिष्यति नः सर्वान् राक्षसघ्नी सरावणान् ॥ ६.९४.३६ ॥
Sent by the gods, this one, the slayer of rakshasas, will devour us all, together with Rāvaṇa, just as hunger once devoured the dānavas.
6.94.37
रावणस्यापनीतेन दुर्विनीतस्य दुर्मतेः।
अयं निष्टानको घोरः शोकेन समभिप्लुतः ॥ ६.९४.३७ ॥
This dreadful lamentation, brought about by the ill-behaved, evil-minded Rāvaṇa, is overwhelmed with grief.

राघवेणोपसृष्टानां कालेनेव युगक्षये ॥ ६.९४.३८ ॥

6.94.39
नास्ति नः शरणं किंचिद् भये महति तिष्ठताम्।
दावाग्निवेष्टितानां हि करेणूनां यथा वने ॥ ६.९४.३९ ॥
For us, standing in this great fear, there is no refuge at all—like female elephants surrounded by forest fire in the wilderness.
6.94.40
प्राप्तकालं कृतं तेन पौलस्त्येन महात्मना।
यत एव भयं दृष्टं तमेव शरणं गतः ॥ ६.९४.४० ॥
The great-souled son of Pulastya did what was timely: as soon as he saw the danger, he went for refuge to him alone.
6.94.41
इतीव सर्वा रजनीचरस्त्रियः
परस्परं सम्परिरभ्य बाहुभिः।
विषेदुरार्तातिभयाभिपीडिता
विनेदुरुच्चैश्च तदा सुदारुणम् ॥ ६.९४.४१ ॥
Thus all the night-rover women, clasping one another tightly in their arms, sank down afflicted by anguish and great terror, and then wailed aloud most dreadfully.
