tām sītām mayaḥ āsurīm māyām iva nidadhe
13. Ravana placed Sita, who was dark-eyed and immersed in grief and delusion, there, just as Maya (the architect of the asuras) had placed his own demonic magical creation (māyā).
अब्रवीच्च दशग्रीवः पिशाचीर्घोरदर्शनाः ।
यथा नैनां पुमान् स्त्री वा सीतां पश्यत्यसंमतः ॥१४॥

na enām pumān strī vā sītām paśyati asaṃmataḥ
14. daśagrīvaḥ ca ghoradarśanāḥ piśācīḥ abravīt: yathā asaṃmataḥ pumān vā strī enām sītām na paśyati.
14. And the ten-headed Ravana said to the gruesome-looking female demons, "Ensure that no man or woman sees Sita without my permission."
मुक्तामणिसुवर्णानि वस्त्राण्याभरणानि च ।
यद् यदिच्छेत्तदेवास्या देयं मच्छन्दतो यथा ॥१५॥

tat eva asyāḥ macchandataḥ yathā deyam.
15. Pearls, jewels, gold, garments, and ornaments - whatever she desires, that indeed should be given to her in accordance with my wishes.

ajñānāt yadi vā jñānāt na tasyāḥ jīvitam priyam
16. ca yā vaidehīm kim cit apriyam vacanam ajñānāt yadi vā jñānāt vakṣyati,
tasyāḥ jīvitam na priyam.
16. And whoever among you speaks any displeasing word to Vaidehi (Sita), whether out of ignorance or intentionally, her life will not be dear (to me).
तथोक्त्वा राक्षसीस्तास्तु राक्षसेन्द्रः प्रतापवान् ।
निष्क्रम्यान्तःपुरात्तस्मात् किं कृत्यमिति चिन्तयन् ।
ददर्शाष्टौ महावीर्यान् राक्षसान्पिशिताशनान् ॥१७॥

17. tathā uktvā rākṣasīḥ tāḥ tu rākṣasendraḥ
pratāpavān niṣkramya antaḥpurāt
tasmāt kim kṛtyam iti cintayan dadarśa
aṣṭau mahāvīryān rākṣasān piśitāśanān
17. tathā rākṣasīḥ tāḥ tu uktvā,
pratāpavān rākṣasendraḥ tasmāt antaḥpurāt niṣkramya,
kim kṛtyam iti cintayan,
aṣṭau mahāvīryān piśitāśanān rākṣasān dadarśa
17. Having thus spoken to those ogresses, the glorious king of Rākṣasas emerged from that inner chamber, contemplating "what is to be done?" He then saw eight greatly valorous Rākṣasas, who were flesh-eaters.
स तान्दृष्ट्वा महावीर्यो वरदानेन मोहितः ।
उवाचैतानिदं वाक्यं प्रशस्य बलवीर्यतः ॥१८॥
18. sa tāndṛṣṭvā mahāvīryo varadānena mohitaḥ ,
uvācaitānidaṃ vākyaṃ praśasya balavīryataḥ.

uvāca etān idam vākyam praśasya balavīryataḥ
18. varadānena mohitaḥ,
mahāvīryaḥ saḥ,
tān dṛṣṭvā,
balavīryataḥ praśasya,
etān idam vākyam uvāca
18. Having seen them, he, greatly powerful and deluded by the boon, spoke this statement to them, praising their strength and valor.
नानाप्रहरणाः क्षिप्रमितो गच्छत सत्वराः ।
जनस्थानं हतस्थानं भूतपूर्वं खरालयम् ॥१९॥
19. nānāpraharaṇāḥ kṣipramito gacchata satvarāḥ ,
janasthānaṃ hatasthānaṃ bhūtapūrvaṃ kharālayam.

janasthānam hatasthānam bhūtapūrvam kharālayam
19. nānāpraharṇāḥ,
satvarāḥ (yūyam),
itaḥ kṣipram,
hatasthānam,
bhūtapūrvam kharālayam janasthānam gacchata
19. O you with various weapons, go quickly and swiftly from here to Janasthāna, that place which was formerly the abode of Khara, where many were slain.
तत्रोष्यतां जनस्थाने शून्ये निहतराक्षसे ।
पौरुषं बलमाश्रित्य त्रासमुत्सृज्य दूरतः ॥२०॥
20. tatroṣyatāṃ janasthāne śūnye nihatarākṣase ,
pauruṣaṃ balamāśritya trāsamutsṛjya dūrataḥ.
20. tatra uṣyatām janasthāne śūnye nihatarākṣase
pauruṣam balam āśritya trāsam utsṛjya dūrataḥ
20. tatra śūnye nihatarākṣase janasthāne uṣyatām; pauruṣam balam āśritya,
dūrataḥ trāsam utsṛjya
20. Reside there in Janasthāna, which is now desolate with its Rākṣasas slain, relying on your own personal strength (pauruṣa), and casting off fear completely.
बलं हि सुमहद् यन्मे जनस्थाने निवेशितम् ।
सदूषणखरं युद्धे हतं तद् रामसायकैः ॥२१॥
21. balaṃ hi sumahad yanme janasthāne niveśitam ,
sadūṣaṇakharaṃ yuddhe hataṃ tad rāmasāyakaiḥ.
21. balam hi sumahat yat me janasthāne niveśitam
sadūṣaṇakharam yuddhe hatam tat rāmasāyakaiḥ
21. me sumahat balam yat janasthāne niveśitam
sadūṣaṇakharam tat yuddhe rāmasāyakaiḥ hatam hi
21. My very great army, which was stationed in Janasthana, along with Dushana and Khara, was indeed destroyed in battle by Rama's arrows.
ततः क्रोधो ममापूर्वो धैर्यस्योपरि वर्धते ।
वैरं च सुमहज्जातं रामं प्रति सुदारुणम् ॥२२॥
22. tataḥ krodho mamāpūrvo dhairyasyopari vardhate ,
vairaṃ ca sumahajjātaṃ rāmaṃ prati sudāruṇam.
22. tataḥ krodhaḥ mama apūrvaḥ dhairyasya upari vardhate
vairam ca sumahat jātam rāmam prati sudāruṇam
22. tataḥ mama apūrvaḥ krodhaḥ dhairyasya upari vardhate
ca sumahat sudāruṇam vairam rāmam prati jātam
22. Consequently, an unprecedented anger of mine now increases, surpassing my patience. And a very great, utterly dreadful enmity has arisen towards Rama.
निर्यातयितुमिच्छामि तच्च वैरमहं रिपोः ।
न हि लप्स्याम्यहं निद्रामहत्वा संयुगे रिपुम् ॥२३॥
23. niryātayitumicchāmi tacca vairamahaṃ ripoḥ ,
na hi lapsyāmyahaṃ nidrāmahatvā saṃyuge ripum.
23. niryātayitum icchāmi tat ca vairam aham ripoḥ
na hi lapsyāmi aham nidrām ahatvā saṃyuge ripum
23. aham tat vairam ripoḥ niryātayitum icchāmi hi
aham saṃyuge ripum ahatvā nidrām na lapsyāmi
23. And I desire to exact revenge for that enmity from my enemy. Indeed, I shall not find sleep until I have killed my enemy in battle.
तं त्विदानीमहं हत्वा खरदूषणघातिनम् ।
रामं शर्मोपलप्स्यामि धनं लब्ध्वेव निर्धनः ॥२४॥
24. taṃ tvidānīmahaṃ hatvā kharadūṣaṇaghātinam ,
rāmaṃ śarmopalapsyāmi dhanaṃ labdhveva nirdhanaḥ.
24. tam tu idānīm aham hatvā kharadūṣaṇaghātinam rāmam
śarma upalapsyāmi dhanam labdhvā iva nirdhanaḥ
24. tu idānīm aham kharadūṣaṇaghātinam tam rāmam hatvā
śarma upalapsyāmi nirdhanaḥ dhanam labdhvā iva
24. But now, having killed him, that slayer of Khara and Dushana (Rāma), I shall obtain happiness, just as a penniless man would upon obtaining wealth.
जनस्थाने वसद्भिस्तु भवद्भी राममाश्रिता ।
प्रवृत्तिरुपनेतव्या किं करोतीति तत्त्वतः ॥२५॥
25. janasthāne vasadbhistu bhavadbhī rāmamāśritā ,
pravṛttirupanetavyā kiṃ karotīti tattvataḥ.
25. janasthāne vasadbhiḥ tu bhavadbhiḥ rāmam āśritā
pravṛttiḥ upanetavyā kim karoti iti tattvataḥ
25. bhavadbhiḥ janasthāne vasadbhiḥ rāmam āśritā
pravṛttiḥ kim karoti iti tattvataḥ upanetavyā tu
25. You who dwell in Janasthāna must convey accurate information concerning Rama – specifically, what he truly does.
अप्रमादाच्च गन्तव्यं सर्वैरेव निशाचरैः ।
कर्तव्यश्च सदा यत्नो राघवस्य वधं प्रति ॥२६॥
26. apramādācca gantavyaṃ sarvaireva niśācaraiḥ ,
kartavyaśca sadā yatno rāghavasya vadhaṃ prati.
26. apramādāt ca gantavyam sarvaiḥ eva niśācaraiḥ
kartavyaḥ ca sadā yatnaḥ rāghavasya vadham prati
26. sarvaiḥ eva niśācaraiḥ apramādāt ca gantavyam
rāghavasya vadham prati ca sadā yatnaḥ kartavyaḥ
26. All you night-roaming demons (niśācara) must proceed with diligence, and constant effort must always be made towards the destruction of Rama.
युष्माकं हि बलज्ञो ऽहं बहुशो रणमूर्धनि ।
अतश्चास्मिञ्जनस्थाने मया यूयं नियोजिताः ॥२७॥
27. yuṣmākaṃ hi balajño'haṃ bahuśo raṇamūrdhani ,
ataścāsmiñjanasthāne mayā yūyaṃ niyojitāḥ.
27. yuṣmākam hi balajñaḥ aham bahuśaḥ raṇamūrdhani
ataḥ ca asmin janasthāne mayā yūyam niyojitāḥ
27. hi aham yuṣmākam balajñaḥ raṇamūrdhani bahuśaḥ
(jānāmi) ataḥ ca asmin janasthāne yūyam mayā niyojitāḥ
27. Indeed, I am one who knows your strength, having witnessed it many times in the thick of battle. Therefore, it is I who have appointed you all to this Janasthāna region.
ततः प्रियं वाक्यमुपेत्य राक्षसा महार्थमष्टावभिवाद्य रावणम् ।
विहाय लङ्कां सहिताः प्रतस्थिरे यतो जनस्थानमलक्ष्यदर्शनाः ॥२८॥
28. tataḥ priyaṃ vākyamupetya rākṣasā mahārthamaṣṭāvabhivādya rāvaṇam ,
vihāya laṅkāṃ sahitāḥ pratasthire yato janasthānamalakṣyadarśanāḥ.
28. tataḥ priyam vākyam upetya rākṣasāḥ
mahārtham aṣṭau abhivādya rāvaṇam
vihāya laṅkām sahitāḥ pratasthire
yataḥ janasthānam alakṣyadarśanāḥ
28. tataḥ aṣṭau rākṣasāḥ priyam mahārtham
vākyam upetya rāvaṇam abhivādya
laṅkām vihāya sahitāḥ yataḥ
janasthānam alakṣyadarśanāḥ pratasthire
28. Then, having received the pleasing and meaningful command, eight demons (rākṣasa), after bowing to Ravana, departed from Lanka. Together, they set forth towards Janasthāna, becoming invisible to others' sight.
ततस्तु सीतामुपलभ्य रावणः सुसंप्रहृष्टः परिगृह्य मैथिलीम् ।
प्रसज्य रामेण च वैरमुत्तमं बभूव मोहान्मुदितः स राक्षसः ॥२९॥
29. tatastu sītāmupalabhya rāvaṇaḥ susaṃprahṛṣṭaḥ parigṛhya maithilīm ,
prasajya rāmeṇa ca vairamuttamaṃ babhūva mohānmuditaḥ sa rākṣasaḥ.
29. tataḥ tu sītām upalabhya rāvaṇaḥ
susaṃprahṛṣṭaḥ parigṛhya maithilīm
prasajya rāmeṇa ca vairam uttamam
babhūva mohāt muditaḥ saḥ rākṣasaḥ
29. saḥ rākṣasaḥ rāvaṇaḥ tu sītām
maithilīm upalabhya parigṛhya
susaṃprahṛṣṭaḥ mohāt muditaḥ babhūva
ca rāmeṇa uttamam vairam prasajya
29. That demon Ravana, having found and seized Sita (Maithilī), became extremely delighted and joyful due to his delusion, having thereby initiated a profound enmity with Rama.
