khalu rakṣasām vadhāya.

ātmanaḥ adharmyam pratipannaḥ asi karma tat
26. puruṣaḥ paretakāle yat karma pratipadyate (tvam)
ātmanaḥ vināśāya adharmyam tat karma pratipannaḥ asi
26. The action (karma) that a person (puruṣa) undertakes at the time of their demise – that very unrighteous (adharmya) action (karma), leading to your own destruction, you have now undertaken.

27. yasya karmaṇaḥ pāpānubandhaḥ (asti) kaḥ pumān nu tat kurvīta
lokādhipatiḥ svayambhūḥ bhagavān api (tat na kurvīta)
27. Indeed, what person (puruṣa) would perform an action (karma) that has evil as its consequence? Not even the Lord of the worlds, the Self-existent (svayambhū), the Divine (Bhagavān) himself would do such a thing.

vāmabāhūndaśa tadā vyapāharadariṃdamaḥ.
33. jaṭāyuḥ tam atikramya tuṇḍena asya kharādhipaḥ
vāmabāhūn daśa tadā vyapāharat arindamaḥ
33. tadā kharādhipaḥ arindamaḥ jaṭāyuḥ tam
atikramya asya daśa vāmabāhūn tuṇḍena vyapāharat
33. Then, Jatayu, the lord of vultures and subduer of enemies, attacking him, tore off ten of his left arms with his beak.
ततः क्रुद्धो दशक्रीवः सीतामुत्सृज्य वीर्यवान् ।
मुष्टिभ्यां चरणाभ्यां च गृध्रराजमपोथयत् ॥३४॥
34. tataḥ kruddho daśakrīvaḥ sītāmutsṛjya vīryavān ,
muṣṭibhyāṃ caraṇābhyāṃ ca gṛdhrarājamapothayat.
34. tataḥ kruddhaḥ daśagrīvaḥ sītām utsṛjya vīryavān
muṣṭibhyām caraṇābhyām ca gṛdhrarājam apothayat
34. tataḥ kruddhaḥ vīryavān daśagrīvaḥ sītām utsṛjya
muṣṭibhyām caraṇābhyām ca gṛdhrarājam apothayat
34. Then, the mighty Ravana (the ten-necked one), enraged, released Sita and struck down the king of vultures (Jatayu) with his fists and his feet.
ततो मुहूर्तं संग्रामो बभूवातुलवीर्ययोः ।
राक्षसानां च मुख्यस्य पक्षिणां प्रवरस्य च ॥३५॥
35. tato muhūrtaṃ saṃgrāmo babhūvātulavīryayoḥ ,
rākṣasānāṃ ca mukhyasya pakṣiṇāṃ pravarasya ca.
35. tataḥ muhūrtam saṃgrāmaḥ babhūva atulavīryayoḥ
rākṣasānām ca mukhyasya pakṣiṇām pravarasya ca
35. tataḥ muhūrtam atulavīryayoḥ rākṣasānām mukhyasya
ca pakṣiṇām pravarasya ca saṃgrāmaḥ babhūva
35. Then, a battle ensued for a moment between those two of unequalled valor: the chief among the demons (Ravana) and the excellent one among the birds (Jatayu).
तस्य व्यायच्छमानस्य रामस्यार्थे ऽथ रावणः ।
पक्षौ पादौ च पार्श्वौ च खड्गमुद्धृत्य सो ऽच्छिनत् ॥३६॥
36. tasya vyāyacchamānasya rāmasyārthe'tha rāvaṇaḥ ,
pakṣau pādau ca pārśvau ca khaḍgamuddhṛtya so'cchinat.
36. tasya vyāyacchamānasya rāmasya arthe atha rāvaṇaḥ pakṣau
pādau ca pārśvau ca khaḍgam uddhṛtya saḥ acchinat
36. atha rāvaṇaḥ rāmasya arthe vyāyacchamānasya tasya
khaḍgam uddhṛtya pakṣau pādau ca pārśvau ca saḥ acchinat
36. Then, Ravana, for Rama's sake, drew his sword and cut off the wings, feet, and sides of (Jatayu) who was fighting.
स छिन्नपक्षः सहसा रक्षसा रौद्रकर्मणा ।
निपपात हतो गृध्रो धरण्यामल्पजीवितः ॥३७॥
37. sa chinnapakṣaḥ sahasā rakṣasā raudrakarmaṇā ,
nipapāta hato gṛdhro dharaṇyāmalpajīvitaḥ.
37. saḥ chinnapakṣaḥ sahasā rakṣasā raudrakarmaṇā
nipapāta hataḥ gṛdhraḥ dharaṇyām alpajīvitaḥ
37. saḥ chinnapakṣaḥ gṛdhraḥ raudrakarmaṇā rakṣasā
hataḥ alpajīvitaḥ sahasā dharaṇyām nipapāta
37. With his wings severed, that vulture (Jatayu), struck down by the demon (Ravana) of fierce deeds, suddenly fell to the earth with little life remaining.
तं दृष्ट्वा पतितं भूमौ क्षतजार्द्रं जटायुषम् ।
अभ्यधावत वैदेही स्वबन्धुमिव दुःखिता ॥३८॥
38. taṃ dṛṣṭvā patitaṃ bhūmau kṣatajārdraṃ jaṭāyuṣam ,
abhyadhāvata vaidehī svabandhumiva duḥkhitā.
38. tam dṛṣṭvā patitam bhūmau kṣatajārdram jaṭāyuṣam
abhyadhāvata vaidehī svabandhum iva duḥkhitā
38. duḥkhitā vaidehī tam bhūmau patitam kṣatajārdram
jaṭāyuṣam dṛṣṭvā svabandhum iva abhyadhāvata
38. Seeing Jatayu, who had fallen to the ground and was soaked in blood, distressed Sita (Vaidehī) ran towards him as if he were her own kin.
तं नीलजीमूतनिकाशकल्पं सुपाण्डुरोरस्कमुदारवीर्यम् ।
ददर्श लङ्काधिपतिः पृथिव्यां जटायुषं शान्तमिवाग्निदावम् ॥३९॥
39. taṃ nīlajīmūtanikāśakalpaṃ supāṇḍuroraskamudāravīryam ,
dadarśa laṅkādhipatiḥ pṛthivyāṃ jaṭāyuṣaṃ śāntamivāgnidāvam.
39. tam nīlajīmūtanikāśakalpam supāṇḍuroraskam udāravīryam
dadarśa laṅkādhipatiḥ pṛthivyām jaṭāyuṣam śāntam iva agnidāvam
39. laṅkādhipatiḥ pṛthivyām nīlajīmūtanikāśakalpam supāṇḍuroraskam
udāravīryam śāntam agnidāvam iva tam jaṭāyuṣam dadarśa
39. The lord of Lanka (Ravana) saw Jatayu on the earth, who was resembling a dark cloud, with a very white chest and immense valor, now like an extinguished forest fire.
ततस्तु तं पत्ररथं महीतले निपातितं रावणवेगमर्दितम् ।
पुनः परिष्वज्य शशिप्रभानना रुरोद सीता जनकात्मजा तदा ॥४०॥
40. tatastu taṃ patrarathaṃ mahītale nipātitaṃ rāvaṇavegamarditam ,
punaḥ pariṣvajya śaśiprabhānanā ruroda sītā janakātmajā tadā.
40. tataḥ tu tam patraratham mahītale
nipātitam rāvaṇavegamarditam
punaḥ pariṣvajya śaśiprabhānanā
ruroda sītā janakātmajā tadā
40. tadā janakātmajā śaśiprabhānanā sītā,
tataḥ tu rāvaṇavegamarditam mahītale nipātitam tam patraratham punaḥ pariṣvajya ruroda
40. Then, Sītā, daughter of Janaka, whose face shone like the moon, again embraced that bird (Jaṭāyu), who lay fallen on the ground, overwhelmed by Rāvaṇa's might, and she wept.
