5. yadi aham tasya pratyakṣam tvayā balāt dharṣitā syām,
tvam saṃkhye hataḥ śayitā,
yathā kharaḥ janasthāne
5. If I were to be forcibly violated by you in his (Rāma's) presence, then you would lie slain on the battlefield, just as Khara did in Janasthana.

6. ete ye rākṣasāḥ ghorarūpāḥ mahābalāḥ proktāḥ,
sarve rāghave nirviṣāḥ yathā suparṇe pannagāḥ

7. tasya jyāvipramuktāḥ kāñcanabhūṣaṇāḥ te śarāḥ śarīram vidhamiṣyanti,
yathā ūrmayaḥ gaṅgākūlam iva
7. His gold-adorned arrows, released from the bowstring, will devastate (your) body, just as waves erode the banks of the Gaṅgā.

उत्पाद्य सुमहद्वैरं जीवंस्तस्य न मोक्ष्यसे ॥८॥

sumahat vairam utpādya,

9. saḥ balī rāghavaḥ te jīvitaśeṣasya antakaraḥ
tava jīvitam yūpagatasya paśoḥ iva durlabham
9. That powerful Rāghava will be the terminator of what remains of your life. Your life is as precarious as that of an animal tied to a sacrificial post.

रक्षस्त्वमद्य निर्दग्धो गच्छेः सद्यः पराभवम् ॥१०॥

10. rakṣaḥ yadi saḥ rāmaḥ roṣadīptena cakṣuṣā tvām paśyet
tvam adya nirdagdhaḥ sadyaḥ parābhavam gaccheḥ
10. O demon, if that Rāma were to see you with an eye blazing with fury, you would be instantly consumed and swiftly meet your ruin.

vā api sāgaram śoṣayet saḥ iha sītām mocayet

aham nītā vinā bhāvam patipārśvāt tvayā vanāt
13. te idam pāpam karma sukhodarkam na bhaviṣyati yā
aham tvayā vanāt patipārśvāt vinā bhāvam nītā
13. This sinful act (karma) of yours will not have a pleasant outcome. For I was taken away by you from my husband's side in the forest without his knowledge.

निर्भयो वीर्यमाश्रित्य शून्ये वसति दण्डके ॥१४॥

14. hi saḥ mama bhartā daivatasaṃyuktaḥ mahādyutiḥ
vīryam āśritya nirbhayaḥ śūnye daṇḍake vasati
14. For indeed, he, my husband, who is endowed with divine power and great splendor, dwells fearlessly in the desolate Daṇḍaka forest, relying on his valor.

16. yadā bhūtānām kālacoditaḥ vināśaḥ dṛśyate,
tadā kālavaśam gatāḥ narāḥ kārye pramādyanti
16. When the destruction of beings, prompted by time, is seen, then people, having fallen under the influence of time, become heedless in their actions.

आत्मनो राक्षसानां च वधायान्तःपुरस्य च ॥१७॥

17. rakṣasādhama,
mām pradhṛṣya,
te ayam kālaḥ ātmanaḥ rākṣasānām ca antaḥpurasya ca vadhāya prāptaḥ sa (asti).
17. O vilest of Rākṣasas, by audacious conduct towards me, your fated time has arrived for the destruction of yourself, your Rākṣasas, and your inner palace.
न शक्या यज्ञमध्यस्था वेदिः स्रुग्भाण्ड मण्डिता ।
द्विजातिमन्त्रसंपूता चण्डालेनावमर्दितुम् ॥१८॥

18. yajñamadhyasthā srukbhāṇḍamaṇḍitā dvijātimantrasampūtā vediḥ caṇḍālena avamarditum na śakyā.
18. An altar, situated in the midst of a Vedic ritual (yajña), adorned with ladles and vessels, and purified by the sacred incantations (mantra) of Brahmins (dvijāti), cannot be desecrated by an outcaste (caṇḍāla).
इदं शरीरं निःसंज्ञं बन्ध वा घातयस्व वा ।
नेदं शरीरं रक्ष्यं मे जीवितं वापि राक्षस ।
न हि शक्ष्याम्युपक्रोशं पृथिव्यां दातुमात्मनः ॥१९॥
19. idaṃ śarīraṃ niḥsaṃjñaṃ bandha vā ghātayasva vā ,
nedaṃ śarīraṃ rakṣyaṃ me jīvitaṃ vāpi rākṣasa ,

19. idam śarīram niḥsaṃjñam bandha vā
ghātayasva vā na idam śarīram rakṣyam
me jīvitam vā api rākṣasa na hi śakṣyāmi
upakrośam pṛthivyām dātum ātmanaḥ
19. rākṣasa,
idam niḥsaṃjñam śarīram vā bandha vā ghātayasva.
me idam śarīram vā jīvitam api na rakṣyam.
hi,
ātmanaḥ upakrośam pṛthivyām dātum na śakṣyāmi.
19. This body is lifeless; either bind it or kill it. This body is not to be protected by me, nor my life either, O Rākṣasa. For I shall certainly not be able to bring infamy upon myself on earth.
एवमुक्त्वा तु वैदेही क्रोद्धात् सुपरुषं वचः ।
रावणं मैथिली तत्र पुनर्नोवाच किं चन ॥२०॥

20. evam uktvā tu vaidehī krodhāt suparuṣam vacaḥ
rāvaṇam maithilī tatra punaḥ na uvāca kim cana
20. vaidehī maithilī,
evam krodhāt suparuṣam vacaḥ rāvaṇam uktvā tu,
tatra punaḥ kim cana na uvāca.
20. Having thus spoken extremely harsh words to Rāvaṇa out of anger, Vaidehī (Sītā), at that moment, did not speak anything further.
सीताया वचनं श्रुत्वा परुषं रोमहर्षणम् ।
प्रत्युवाच ततः सीतां भयसंदर्शनं वचः ॥२१॥
21. sītāyā vacanaṃ śrutvā paruṣaṃ romaharṣaṇam ,

pratyuvāca tataḥ Sītām bhayasaṃdarśanam vacaḥ
21. Sītāyāḥ paruṣam romaharṣaṇam vacanam śrutvā
tataḥ Sītām bhayasaṃdarśanam vacaḥ pratyuvāca
21. Having heard Sītā's harsh, hair-raising words, he then replied to Sītā with words that instilled fear.
शृणु मैथिलि मद्वाक्यं मासान्द्वादश भामिनि ।
कालेनानेन नाभ्येषि यदि मां चारुहासिनि ।
ततस्त्वां प्रातराशार्थं सूदाश्छेत्स्यन्ति लेशशः ॥२२॥
22. śṛṇu maithili madvākyaṃ māsāndvādaśa bhāmini ,
kālenānena nābhyeṣi yadi māṃ cāruhāsini ,
tatastvāṃ prātarāśārthaṃ sūdāśchetsyanti leśaśaḥ.
22. śṛṇu Maithili mat-vākyam māsān dvādaśa

prātarāśārtham sūdāḥ chetsyanti leśaśaḥ
22. Maithili bhāmini cāruhāsini śṛṇu
mat-vākyam māsān dvādaśa yadi anena
kālena mām na abhy-eṣi tataḥ tvām
sūdāḥ prātarāśārtham leśaśaḥ chetsyanti
22. Listen, O Maithili (Sītā), O passionate lady! I grant you a period of twelve months. If, by this time, O lady of beautiful smiles, you do not come to me, then the cooks will cut you into pieces for breakfast.
इत्युक्त्वा परुषं वाक्यं रावणः शत्रुरावणः ।
राक्षसीश्च ततः क्रुद्ध इदं वचनमब्रवीत् ॥२३॥
23. ityuktvā paruṣaṃ vākyaṃ rāvaṇaḥ śatrurāvaṇaḥ ,
rākṣasīśca tataḥ kruddha idaṃ vacanamabravīt.
23. iti uktvā paruṣam vākyam Rāvaṇaḥ śatrurāvaṇaḥ
rākṣasīḥ ca tataḥ kruddhaḥ idam vacanam abravīt
23. iti paruṣam vākyam uktvā śatrurāvaṇaḥ Rāvaṇaḥ
tataḥ kruddhaḥ ca rākṣasīḥ idam vacanam abravīt
23. Having spoken such harsh words, Rāvaṇa, the tormentor of his enemies, then, enraged, spoke these words to the female demons.
शीघ्रमेवं हि राक्षस्यो विकृता घोरदर्शनाः ।
दर्पमस्या विनेष्यन्तु मांसशोणितभोजनाः ॥२४॥
24. śīghramevaṃ hi rākṣasyo vikṛtā ghoradarśanāḥ ,
darpamasyā vineṣyantu māṃsaśoṇitabhojanāḥ.
24. śīghram evam hi rākṣasyaḥ vikṛtā ghoradarśanāḥ
darpam asyāḥ vineṣyantu māṃsaśoṇitabhojanāḥ
24. hi rākṣasyaḥ vikṛtā ghoradarśanāḥ māṃsaśoṇitabhojanāḥ,
śīghram evam asyāḥ darpam vineṣyantu
24. O monstrous, terrifying female demons, you who feed on flesh and blood, quickly, indeed, thus destroy her arrogance!
वचनादेव तास्तस्य विकृता घोरदर्शनाः ।
कृतप्राञ्जलयो भूत्वा मैथिलीं पर्यवारयन् ॥२५॥
25. vacanādeva tāstasya vikṛtā ghoradarśanāḥ ,
kṛtaprāñjalayo bhūtvā maithilīṃ paryavārayan.
25. vachanāt eva tāḥ tasya vikṛtāḥ ghoradarśanāḥ
kṛtaprāñjalayaḥ bhūtvā maithilīm paryavārayan
25. tasya vachanāt eva vikṛtāḥ ghoradarśanāḥ tāḥ
kṛtaprāñjalayaḥ bhūtvā maithilīm paryavārayan
25. Just by his command, those disfigured, terrifying-looking (rakṣasī) women, having folded their hands in supplication, surrounded Sītā (Maithilī).
स ताः प्रोवाच राजा तु रावणो घोरदर्शनः ।
प्रचाल्य चरणोत्कर्षैर्दारयन्निव मेदिनीम् ॥२६॥
26. sa tāḥ provāca rājā tu rāvaṇo ghoradarśanaḥ ,
pracālya caraṇotkarṣairdārayanniva medinīm.
26. saḥ tāḥ provāca rājā tu rāvaṇaḥ ghoradarśanaḥ
pracālya caraṇotkarṣaiḥ dārayan iva medinīm
26. tu saḥ rājā rāvaṇaḥ ghoradarśanaḥ caraṇotkarṣaiḥ
medinīm dārayan iva pracālya tāḥ provāca
26. But that King Rāvaṇa, terrifying to behold, spoke to those (rakṣasīs), appearing as if he were splitting the earth by dragging his feet.
अशोकवनिकामध्ये मैथिली नीयतामिति ।
तत्रेयं रक्ष्यतां गूढमुष्माभिः परिवारिता ॥२७॥
27. aśokavanikāmadhye maithilī nīyatāmiti ,
tatreyaṃ rakṣyatāṃ gūḍhamuṣmābhiḥ parivāritā.
27. aśokavanikā madhye maithilī nīyatām iti tatra
iyam rakṣyatām gūḍham uṣmābhiḥ parivāritā
27. maithilī aśokavanikā madhye nīyatām iti tatra
iyam uṣmābhiḥ gūḍham parivāritā rakṣyatām
27. "Let Sītā (Maithilī) be led into the middle of the Ashoka grove (Aśokavanikā)," he said. "There, let her be secretly guarded, surrounded by all of you."
तत्रैनां तर्जनैर्घोरैः पुनः सान्त्वैश्च मैथिलीम् ।
आनयध्वं वशं सर्वा वन्यां गजवधूमिव ॥२८॥
28. tatraināṃ tarjanairghoraiḥ punaḥ sāntvaiśca maithilīm ,
ānayadhvaṃ vaśaṃ sarvā vanyāṃ gajavadhūmiva.
28. tatra enām tarjanaiḥ ghoraiḥ punaḥ sāntvaiḥ ca
maithilīm ānayadhvam vaśam sarvāḥ vanyām gajavadhūm iva
28. tatra sarvāḥ yūyam enām maithilīm ghoraiḥ tarjanaiḥ
punaḥ sāntvaiḥ ca vanyām gajavadhūm iva vaśam ānayadhvam
28. There, all of you, bring Sītā (Maithilī) under your control with fierce threats and also with soothing words, just as one would a wild female elephant.
इति प्रतिसमादिष्टा राक्षस्यो रावणेन ताः ।
अशोकवनिकां जग्मुर्मैथिलीं परिगृह्य ताम् ॥२९॥
29. iti pratisamādiṣṭā rākṣasyo rāvaṇena tāḥ ,
aśokavanikāṃ jagmurmaithilīṃ parigṛhya tām.
29. iti pratisamādiṣṭāḥ rākṣasyaḥ rāvaṇena tāḥ |
aśokavanikām jagmuḥ maithilīm parigṛhya tām
29. rāvaṇena iti pratisamādiṣṭāḥ tāḥ rākṣasyaḥ
maithilīm parigṛhya aśokavanikām jagmuḥ
29. Having thus been instructed by Ravana, those demonesses took Maithili and went to the Aśoka grove.
सर्वकामफलैर्वृक्षैर्नानापुष्पफलैर्वृताम् ।
सर्वकालमदैश्चापि द्विजैः समुपसेविताम् ॥३०॥
30. sarvakāmaphalairvṛkṣairnānāpuṣpaphalairvṛtām ,
sarvakālamadaiścāpi dvijaiḥ samupasevitām.
30. sarvakāmaphalaiḥ vṛkṣaiḥ nānāpuṣpaphalaiḥ vṛtām
| sarvakālamadaiḥ ca api dvijaiḥ samupasevitām
30. sarvakāmaphalaiḥ vṛkṣaiḥ nānāpuṣpaphalaiḥ vṛtām
ca api sarvakālamadaiḥ dvijaiḥ samupasevitām
30. The Aśoka grove was surrounded by trees bearing all desired fruits, and by diverse flowers and fruits; and moreover, it was frequented by birds perpetually joyful.
सा तु शोकपरीताङ्गी मैथिली जनकात्मजा ।
राक्षसी वशमापन्ना व्याघ्रीणां हरिणी यथा ॥३१॥
31. sā tu śokaparītāṅgī maithilī janakātmajā ,
rākṣasī vaśamāpannā vyāghrīṇāṃ hariṇī yathā.
31. sā tu śokaparītāṅgī maithilī janakātmajā |
rākṣasī vaśam āpannā vyāghrīṇām hariṇī yathā
31. tu sā maithilī janakātmajā śokaparītāṅgī rākṣasī-vaśam āpannā,
vyāghrīṇām hariṇī yathā
31. But that Maithili, daughter of Janaka, with a body consumed by sorrow, having fallen into a demoness's power, was like a doe among tigresses.
न विन्दते तत्र तु शर्म मैथिली विरूपनेत्राभिरतीव तर्जिता ।
पतिं स्मरन्ती दयितं च देवरं विचेतनाभूद्भयशोकपीडिता ॥३२॥
32. na vindate tatra tu śarma maithilī virūpanetrābhiratīva tarjitā ,
patiṃ smarantī dayitaṃ ca devaraṃ vicetanābhūdbhayaśokapīḍitā.
32. na vindate tatra tu śarma maithilī
virūpanetrābhiḥ atīva tarjitā
| patim smarantī dayitam ca
devaram vicetanā abhūt bhayaśokapīḍitā
32. tu maithilī virūpanetrābhiḥ atīva tarjitā,
tatra śarma na vindate.
dayitam patim ca devaram smarantī,
bhayaśokapīḍitā vicetanā abhūt.
32. But Maithili found no comfort there, greatly threatened by the demonesses with dreadful eyes. Remembering her beloved husband and brother-in-law, she became unconscious, oppressed by fear and sorrow.
