Then Prahasta, Virūpākṣa, Vajradaṃṣṭra, who was greatly mighty, and Dhūmrākṣa, Atikāya, and Durmukha, also a demon.

(They held) iron clubs, battle-axes, spears, javelins, pikes, and battle-axes; and bows with arrows, and broad, sharp swords.

5.
Holding these (weapons), and extremely enraged, all the demons sprang up, as if blazing with energy, and spoke to Rāvaṇa.
अद्य रामं वधिष्यामः सुग्रीवं च सलक्ष्मणम् ।

Today we will kill Rama, and Sugriva along with Lakshmana, as well as the contemptible Hanuman, by whom Lanka was ravaged.

Vibhishana, having first restrained all of them who had taken up their weapons, and then having made them sit down again, spoke these words with folded hands.

O dear one, wise persons declare that those times are suitable for courageous action when an objective cannot be achieved even by the three conventional means (upāyāḥ).

O dear one, acts of valor, when performed after careful consideration and according to the proper method, succeed against those who are negligent, engaged (in battle), or afflicted by fate.
अप्रमत्तं कथं तं तु विजिगीषुं बले स्थितम् ।
जितरोषं दुराधर्षं प्रधर्षयितुमिच्छथ ॥१०॥

10.
How then do you wish to assault him, who is vigilant, firmly established in his strength, has conquered his anger, is invincible, and is always desirous of victory?
समुद्रं लङ्घयित्वा तु घोरं नदनदीपतिम् ।
कृतं हनुमता कर्म दुष्करं तर्कयेत कः ॥११॥

11.
Who could have imagined that Hanuman performed such an arduous feat as crossing the terrible ocean, the lord of all rivers and streams?
बलान्यपरिमेयानि वीर्याणि च निशाचराः ।
परेषां सहसावज्ञा न कर्तव्या कथं चन ॥१२॥
परेषां सहसावज्ञा न कर्तव्या कथं चन ॥१२॥

sahasā avajñā katham cana na kartavyā.
pareṣām aparimeyāni balāni ca vīryāṇi santi.
sahasā avajñā katham cana na kartavyā.
12.
O Rākṣasas, the forces and prowess of enemies are immeasurable. Hasty contempt should never be shown towards them in any way.
किं च राक्षसराजस्य रामेणापकृतं पुरा ।
आजहार जनस्थानाद् यस्य भार्यां यशस्विनः ॥१३॥
आजहार जनस्थानाद् यस्य भार्यां यशस्विनः ॥१३॥
13. kiṃ ca rākṣasarājasya rāmeṇāpakṛtaṃ purā ,

yat saḥ janasthānāt yasya yaśasvinaḥ bhāryām ājahāra.
yat saḥ janasthānāt yasya yaśasvinaḥ bhāryām ājahāra.
13.
Moreover, what wrong was done by Rāma to the king of Rākṣasas earlier, that he (Rāvaṇa) carried off the wife of that glorious one (Rāma) from Janasthāna?
खरो यद्यतिवृत्तस्तु रामेण निहतो रणे ।
अवश्यं प्राणिनां प्राणा रक्षितव्या यथा बलम् ॥१४॥
अवश्यं प्राणिनां प्राणा रक्षितव्या यथा बलम् ॥१४॥
14. kharo yadyativṛttastu rāmeṇa nihato raṇe ,
avaśyaṃ prāṇināṃ prāṇā rakṣitavyā yathā balam.
avaśyaṃ prāṇināṃ prāṇā rakṣitavyā yathā balam.
14.
kharaḥ yadi ati-vṛttaḥ tu rāmeṇa nihataḥ raṇe
avaśyam prāṇinām prāṇāḥ rakṣitavyāḥ yathā balam
avaśyam prāṇinām prāṇāḥ rakṣitavyāḥ yathā balam
14.
yadi kharaḥ ati-vṛttaḥ tu rāmeṇa raṇe nihataḥ
avaśyam prāṇinām prāṇāḥ yathā balam rakṣitavyāḥ
avaśyam prāṇinām prāṇāḥ yathā balam rakṣitavyāḥ
14.
Even though Khara, having exceedingly transgressed, was killed by Rama in battle, nevertheless, the lives of living beings must certainly be protected according to one's strength.
एतन्निमित्तं वैदेही भयं नः सुमहद्भवेत् ।
आहृता सा परित्याज्या कलहार्थे कृते न किम् ॥१५॥
आहृता सा परित्याज्या कलहार्थे कृते न किम् ॥१५॥

āhṛtā sā parityājyā kalahārthe kṛte na kim.
15.

etat nimittam naḥ sumahat bhayam vaidehī bhavet
sā āhṛtā parityājyā kalaha-arthe kṛte na kim
sā āhṛtā parityājyā kalaha-arthe kṛte na kim
15.
Due to Vaidehi, great fear may arise for us. She, having been abducted, should be abandoned. Why not, since a quarrel has already been initiated [because of her]?
न नः क्षमं वीर्यवता तेन धर्मानुवर्तिना ।
वैरं निरर्थकं कर्तुं दीयतामस्य मैथिली ॥१६॥
वैरं निरर्थकं कर्तुं दीयतामस्य मैथिली ॥१६॥

vairam kartum na kṣamam asya maithilī dīyatām
vairam kartum na kṣamam asya maithilī dīyatām
16.
It is not proper for us to create a meaningless enmity with that valiant follower of natural law (dharma). Let Maithili be given back to him.
यावन्न सगजां साश्वां बहुरत्नसमाकुलाम् ।
पुरीं दारयते बाणैर्दीयतामस्य मैथिली ॥१७॥

17.
Before he tears apart our city - which is filled with elephants, horses, and many jewels - with his arrows, let Maithili be given back to him.
यावत् सुघोरा महती दुर्धर्षा हरिवाहिनी ।
नावस्कन्दति नो लङ्कां तावत् सीता प्रदीयताम् ॥१८॥

yāvat sughorā mahatī durdharṣā harivāhinī naḥ
laṅkām na avaskandati tāvat sītā pradīyatām
laṅkām na avaskandati tāvat sītā pradīyatām
18.
Before the exceedingly fierce, mighty, and unconquerable monkey army attacks our Lanka, Sītā should be returned.
विनश्येद्धि पुरी लङ्का शूराः सर्वे च राक्षसाः ।
रामस्य दयिता पत्नी न स्वयं यदि दीयते ॥१९॥

hi purī laṅkā ca sarve śūrāḥ rākṣasāḥ vinaśyet
hi purī laṅkā ca sarve śūrāḥ rākṣasāḥ vinaśyet
19.
Indeed, the city of Lanka and all the brave Rākṣasas will be destroyed if Rāma's beloved wife is not returned willingly.
प्रसादये त्वां बन्धुत्वात् कुरुष्व वचनं मम ।

20.
I entreat you out of kinship; heed my words. Indeed, I speak what is beneficial and wholesome. Let Maithilī be returned to him.
पुरा शरत्सूर्यमरीचिसंनिभान्नवाग्रपुङ्खान् सुदृढान्नृपात्मजः ।

21.
Before the prince (Rāma) unleashes his unerring arrows, which are like the rays of the autumn sun, with new and strong feathered shafts, for your destruction, let Maithilī be returned to Daśaratha's son (Rāma).
त्यजस्व कोपं सुखधर्मनाशनं भजस्व धर्मं रतिकीर्तिवर्धनम् ।

22.
Abandon anger, which destroys happiness and natural law (dharma). Embrace natural law (dharma), which increases pleasure and fame. Be gracious, so that we may live with our sons and relatives. Let Maithilī (Sita) be returned to Dasharatha's son (Rama).
