देवर्षियक्षगन्धर्वान्बाधते स्म स नित्यशः ॥८॥

17. rājan saumya te sarvam vadāmi yat tava bhrātā
abravīt ubhayoḥ vṛttasya ca kulasya ca sadṛśam
17. O King, I will tell you everything that your brother said. O gentle one, this is fitting for both your character and your lineage.

rājan tu me tvattaḥ devānām samudyogaḥ ca śrutaḥ
19. I saw the Nandana grove destroyed, and I heard that the sages were slain. O King, I also heard from you about the great endeavor of the gods.
निराकृतश्च बहुशस्त्वयाहं राक्षसाधिप ।
अपराद्धा हि बाल्याच्च रक्षणीयाः स्वबान्धवाः ॥२०॥
20. nirākṛtaśca bahuśastvayāhaṃ rākṣasādhipa ,
aparāddhā hi bālyācca rakṣaṇīyāḥ svabāndhavāḥ.
20. nirākṛtaḥ ca bahuśaḥ tvayā aham rākṣasādhipa
aparāddhāḥ hi bālyāt ca rakṣaṇīyāḥ svabāndhavāḥ
20. rākṣasādhipa tvayā aham bahuśaḥ ca nirākṛtaḥ hi
svabāndhavāḥ bālyāt aparāddhāḥ ca rakṣaṇīyāḥ
20. O lord of rākṣasas, I have been repeatedly rejected by you. Indeed, one's own relatives should be protected, even if they have committed offenses due to immaturity.
अहं तु हिमवत्पृष्ठं गतो धर्ममुपासितुम् ।
रौद्रं व्रतं समास्थाय नियतो नियतेन्द्रियः ॥२१॥
21. ahaṃ tu himavatpṛṣṭhaṃ gato dharmamupāsitum ,
raudraṃ vrataṃ samāsthāya niyato niyatendriyaḥ.

21. tu ahaṃ niyataḥ niyata indriyaḥ raudram vratam
samāsthāya dharmam upāsitum himavat pṛṣṭham gataḥ
21. I, however, went to the peak of Himavat (the Himalayas) to observe my spiritual duty (dharma), having undertaken a severe vow, self-controlled and with my senses restrained.
तत्र देवो मया दृष्टः सह देव्योमया प्रभुः ।
सव्यं चक्षुर्मया चैव तत्र देव्यां निपातितम् ॥२२॥
22. tatra devo mayā dṛṣṭaḥ saha devyomayā prabhuḥ ,
savyaṃ cakṣurmayā caiva tatra devyāṃ nipātitam.
22. tatra devaḥ mayā dṛṣṭaḥ saha devyā umayā prabhuḥ
savyam cakṣuḥ mayā ca eva tatra devyām nipātitam
22. tatra mayā prabhuḥ devaḥ saha devyā umayā dṛṣṭaḥ
ca eva mayā savyam cakṣuḥ tatra devyām nipātitam
22. There, I saw the lord god with the goddess Umā. And my left eye was cast upon that goddess there.
का न्वियं स्यादिति शुभा न खल्वन्येन हेतुना ।
रूपं ह्यनुपमं कृत्वा तत्र क्रीडति पार्वती ॥२३॥
23. kā nviyaṃ syāditi śubhā na khalvanyena hetunā ,
rūpaṃ hyanupamaṃ kṛtvā tatra krīḍati pārvatī.
23. kā nu iyam syāt iti śubhā na khalu anyena hetunā
rūpam hi anupamam kṛtvā tatra krīḍati pārvatī
23. kā nu iyam śubhā syāt iti; khalu na anyena hetunā (iti),
hi pārvatī anupamam rūpam kṛtvā tatra krīḍati
23. "Who indeed could this beautiful one be?" I wondered; it was not for any other reason, but because Pārvatī herself was playing there, having assumed an incomparable form.
ततो देव्याः प्रभावेन दग्धं सव्यं ममेक्षणम् ।
रेणुध्वस्तमिव ज्योतिः पिङ्गलत्वमुपागतम् ॥२४॥
24. tato devyāḥ prabhāvena dagdhaṃ savyaṃ mamekṣaṇam ,
reṇudhvastamiva jyotiḥ piṅgalatvamupāgatam.
24. tataḥ devyāḥ prabhāvena dagdham savyam mama īkṣaṇam
reṇu dhvastam iva jyotiḥ piṅgalatvam upāgatam
24. tataḥ devyāḥ prabhāvena mama savyam īkṣaṇam dagdham
(ca) reṇu dhvastam jyotiḥ iva piṅgalatvam upāgatam
24. Then, by the power of the goddess, my left eye was burnt, becoming yellowish-brown, like a flame obscured by dust.
ततो ऽहमन्यद्विस्तीर्णं गत्वा तस्य गिरेस्तटम् ।
पूर्णं वर्षशतान्यष्टौ समवाप महाव्रतम् ॥२५॥
25. tato'hamanyadvistīrṇaṃ gatvā tasya girestaṭam ,
pūrṇaṃ varṣaśatānyaṣṭau samavāpa mahāvratam.
25. tataḥ aham anyat vistīrṇam gatvā tasya gireḥ
taṭam pūrṇam varṣaśatāni aṣṭau samavāpa mahāvratam
25. tataḥ aham tasya gireḥ anyat vistīrṇam taṭam
gatvā aṣṭau varṣaśatāni pūrṇam mahāvratam samavāpa
25. Then, having gone to another vast slope of that mountain, I observed a complete great vow for eight centuries.
समाप्ते नियमे तस्मिंस्तत्र देवो महेश्वरः ।
प्रीतः प्रीतेन मनसा प्राह वाक्यमिदं प्रभुः ॥२६॥
26. samāpte niyame tasmiṃstatra devo maheśvaraḥ ,
prītaḥ prītena manasā prāha vākyamidaṃ prabhuḥ.
26. samāpte niyame tasmin tatra devaḥ maheśvaraḥ
prītaḥ prītena manasā prāha vākyam idam prabhuḥ
26. tasmin niyame samāpte tatra devaḥ maheśvaraḥ
prabhuḥ prītena manasā prītaḥ idam vākyam prāha
26. When that observance (niyama) was completed, then the supreme Lord (prabhu), Maheśvara (Maheśvara), the God, pleased in mind, spoke these words.
प्रीतो ऽस्मि तव धर्मज्ञ तपसानेन सुव्रत ।
मया चैतद्व्रतं चीर्णं त्वया चैव धनाधिप ॥२७॥
27. prīto'smi tava dharmajña tapasānena suvrata ,
mayā caitadvrataṃ cīrṇaṃ tvayā caiva dhanādhipa.
27. prītaḥ asmi tava dharmajña tapasā anena suvrata
mayā ca etat vratam cīrṇam tvayā ca eva dhanādhipa
27. dharmajña suvrata tava anena tapasā prītaḥ asmi.
mayā ca tvayā eva ca dhanādhipa etat vratam cīrṇam
27. O knower of (natural) law (dharma), O good observer of vows, I am pleased with this asceticism (tapas) of yours. This vow has been observed by me, and indeed, by you also, O lord of wealth (dhanādhipa).
तृतीयः पुरुषो नास्ति यश्चरेद्व्रतमीदृशम् ।
व्रतं सुदुश्चरं ह्येतन्मयैवोत्पादितं पुरा ॥२८॥
28. tṛtīyaḥ puruṣo nāsti yaścaredvratamīdṛśam ,
vrataṃ suduścaraṃ hyetanmayaivotpāditaṃ purā.
28. tṛtīyaḥ puruṣaḥ na asti yaḥ caret vratam īdṛśam
vratam sudurcaram hi etat mayā eva utpāditam purā
28. yaḥ īdṛśam vratam caret,
tṛtīyaḥ puruṣaḥ na asti.
hi etat vratam sudurcaram.
purā mayā eva utpāditam.
28. There is no third person (puruṣa) who could perform such a vow. Indeed, this vow is extremely difficult to observe; it was created by me alone in ancient times.
तत् सखित्वं मया सार्धं रोचयस्व धनेश्वर ।
तपसा निर्जितत्वाद्धि सखा भव ममानघ ॥२९॥
29. tat sakhitvaṃ mayā sārdhaṃ rocayasva dhaneśvara ,
tapasā nirjitatvāddhi sakhā bhava mamānagha.
29. tat sakhitvam mayā sārdham rocayasva dhaneśvara
| tapasā nirjitvāt hi sakhā bhava mama anagha
29. dhaneśvara anagha tat sakhitvam mayā sārdham
rocayasva hi tapasā nirjitvāt mama sakhā bhava
29. O lord of wealth (dhaneśvara), O blameless one, desire that friendship with me. Indeed, because you have been subdued by my austerity (tapas), become my friend.
देव्या दग्धं प्रभावेन यच्च साव्यं तवेक्षणम् ।
एकाक्षि पिङ्गलेत्येव नाम स्थास्यति शाश्वतम् ॥३०॥
30. devyā dagdhaṃ prabhāvena yacca sāvyaṃ tavekṣaṇam ,
ekākṣi piṅgaletyeva nāma sthāsyati śāśvatam.
30. devyā dagdham prabhāveṇa yat ca savyam tava īkṣaṇam
| ekākṣi piṅgalā iti eva nāma sthāsyati śāśvatam
30. yat ca tava savyam īkṣaṇam devyā prabhāveṇa dagdham
ekākṣi piṅgalā iti eva nāma śāśvatam sthāsyati
30. And because your left eye was burned by the power of the Goddess, the name 'One-eyed, Tawny' (ekākṣi piṅgalā) will remain eternally.
एवं तेन सखित्वं च प्राप्यानुज्ञां च शंकरात् ।
आगम्य च श्रुतो ऽयं मे तव पापविनिश्चयः ॥३१॥
31. evaṃ tena sakhitvaṃ ca prāpyānujñāṃ ca śaṃkarāt ,
āgamya ca śruto'yaṃ me tava pāpaviniścayaḥ.
31. evam tena sakhitvam ca prāpya anujñām ca śaṅkarāt
| āgamya ca śrutaḥ ayam me tava pāpavinicayaḥ
31. evam tena sakhitvam ca śaṅkarāt anujñām ca prāpya
ca āgamya tava ayam pāpavinicayaḥ me śrutaḥ
31. Thus, after I obtained both friendship with him and permission from Śaṅkara, and having returned, this definitive decision regarding your sin has been heard by me.
तदधर्मिष्ठसंयोगान्निवर्त कुलदूषण ।
चिन्त्यते हि वधोपायः सर्षिसंघैः सुरैस्तव ॥३२॥
32. tadadharmiṣṭhasaṃyogānnivarta kuladūṣaṇa ,
cintyate hi vadhopāyaḥ sarṣisaṃghaiḥ suraistava.
32. tat adharmiṣṭhasaṃyogāt nivarta kuladūṣaṇa |
cintyate hi vadhopāyaḥ saṛṣisaṃghaiḥ suraiḥ tava
32. kuladūṣaṇa tat adharmiṣṭhasaṃyogāt nivarta hi
tava vadhopāyaḥ saṛṣisaṃghaiḥ suraiḥ cintyate
32. Therefore, turn away from association with the most unrighteous, O disgrace to your lineage. Indeed, a means of your destruction is being pondered by the gods who are accompanied by the assemblies of sages.
एवमुक्तो दशग्रीवः क्रुद्धः संरक्तलोचनः ।
हस्तान्दन्तांश् अ संपीड्य वाक्यमेतदुवाच ह ॥३३॥
33. evamukto daśagrīvaḥ kruddhaḥ saṃraktalocanaḥ ,
hastāndantāṃś a saṃpīḍya vākyametaduvāca ha.
33. evam uktaḥ daśagrīvaḥ kruddhaḥ saṃrakta-locanaḥ
hastān dantān ca saṃpīḍya vākyam etat uvāca ha
33. evam uktaḥ kruddhaḥ saṃrakta-locanaḥ daśagrīvaḥ
hastān dantān ca saṃpīḍya etat vākyam ha uvāca
33. Thus addressed, Daśagrīva (Rāvaṇa), enraged and with blood-red eyes, clenching his hands and teeth, spoke these words.
विज्ञातं ते मया दूत वाक्यं यत्त्वं प्रभाषसे ।
नैव त्वमसि नैवासौ भ्रात्रा येनासि प्रेषितः ॥३४॥
34. vijñātaṃ te mayā dūta vākyaṃ yattvaṃ prabhāṣase ,
naiva tvamasi naivāsau bhrātrā yenāsi preṣitaḥ.
34. vijñātam te mayā dūta vākyam yat tvam prabhāṣase na
eva tvam asi na eva asau bhrātrā yena asi preṣitaḥ
34. dūta,
yat tvam prabhāṣase te vākyam mayā vijñātam.
tvam na eva asi,
na eva asau bhrātrā yena asi preṣitaḥ.
34. "O messenger, I have understood the words that you speak. You are certainly not (the messenger I acknowledge), nor is that person (Rāma) the brother by whom you were sent (in a legitimate capacity)."
हितं न स ममैतद्धि ब्रवीति धनरक्षकः ।
महेश्वरसखित्वं तु मूढ श्रावयसे किल ॥३५॥
35. hitaṃ na sa mamaitaddhi bravīti dhanarakṣakaḥ ,

35. sa dhana-rakṣakaḥ mama etat hitam na hi bravīti.
tu mūḍha,
maheśvara-sakṣitvam kila śrāvayase.
35. "That guardian of wealth (Kubera) does not speak this beneficial advice to me. But, foolish one, you indeed proclaim your friendship with Maheśvara (Śiva)!"
न हन्तव्यो गुरुर्ज्येष्ठो ममायमिति मन्यते ।
तस्य त्विदानीं श्रुत्वा मे वाक्यमेषा कृता मतिः ॥३६॥
36. na hantavyo gururjyeṣṭho mamāyamiti manyate ,

36. na hantavyaḥ guruḥ jyeṣṭhaḥ mama ayam iti manyate

36. (saḥ) ayam mama jyeṣṭhaḥ guruḥ na hantavyaḥ iti manyate.
tu idānīm tasya vākyam śrutvā,
eṣā matiḥ me kṛtā.
36. "He (Vibhīṣaṇa) believes: 'This elder, respected one (guru) of mine should not be harmed.' But now, having heard his words, this decision has been made by me (Rāvaṇa)."
त्रींल् लोकानपि जेष्यामि बाहुवीर्यमुपाश्रितः ।
एतन्मुहूर्तमेषो ऽहं तस्यैकस्य कृते च वै ।
चतुरो लोकपालांस्तान्नयिष्यामि यमक्षयम् ॥३७॥
37. trīṃl lokānapi jeṣyāmi bāhuvīryamupāśritaḥ ,
etanmuhūrtameṣo'haṃ tasyaikasya kṛte ca vai ,
caturo lokapālāṃstānnayiṣyāmi yamakṣayam.
37. trīn lokān api jeṣyāmi bāhuvīryam

tasya ekasya kṛte ca vai caturaḥ

37. aham bāhuvīryam upāśritaḥ api trīn lokān jeṣyāmi.
eṣaḥ aham etat muhūrtam ca vai tasya ekasya kṛte tān caturaḥ lokapālān yamakṣayam nayiṣyāmi
37. Relying on the might of my arms, I will conquer even the three worlds. At this very moment, for the sake of that one (Kubera), I will indeed lead those four world-guardians to the abode of Yama, the lord of death.
एवमुक्त्वा तु लङ्केशो दूतं खड्गेन जघ्निवान् ।
ददौ भक्षयितुं ह्येनं राक्षसानां दुरात्मनाम् ॥३८॥
38. evamuktvā tu laṅkeśo dūtaṃ khaḍgena jaghnivān ,
dadau bhakṣayituṃ hyenaṃ rākṣasānāṃ durātmanām.
38. evam uktvā tu laṅkeśaḥ dūtam khaḍgena jaghnivān
dadau bhakṣayitum hi enam rākṣasānām durātmanām
38. laṅkeśaḥ evam uktvā tu dūtam khaḍgena jaghnivān.
hi enam durātmanām rākṣasānām bhakṣayitum dadau
38. Having spoken thus, the lord of Laṅkā (Rāvaṇa) struck down the messenger with a sword. He then gave him to the malevolent rākṣasas to be devoured.
ततः कृतस्वस्त्ययनो रथमारुह्य रावणः ।
त्रैलोक्यविजयाकाङ्क्षी ययौ तत्र धनेश्वरः ॥३९॥
39. tataḥ kṛtasvastyayano rathamāruhya rāvaṇaḥ ,
trailokyavijayākāṅkṣī yayau tatra dhaneśvaraḥ.
39. tataḥ kṛtasvastyayanaḥ ratham āruhya rāvaṇaḥ
trailokyavijayākāṅkṣī yayau tatra dhaneśvaraḥ
39. tataḥ kṛtasvastyayanaḥ trailokyavijayākāṅkṣī
rāvaṇaḥ ratham āruhya tatra dhaneśvaraḥ yayau
39. Then, having performed auspicious rites, Rāvaṇa, aspiring for the conquest of the three worlds, mounted his chariot and went there, to the lord of wealth (Kubera).
