pūrvam tu laṅkāyām rakṣasām saṃbhavaḥ āsīt iti
1. Upon hearing the words spoken by Agastya, Rama was struck with wonder: "Was this indeed the origin of the rakshasas in Lanka previously?"
ततः शिरः कम्पयित्वा त्रेताग्निसमविग्रहम् ।
अगस्त्यं तं मुहुर्दृष्ट्वा स्मयमानो ऽभ्यभाषत ॥२॥

2. tataḥ śiraḥ kampayitvā tretāgni-sama-vigraham
tam agastyam muhuḥ dṛṣṭvā smayamānaḥ abhyabhāṣata
2. Then, shaking his head, and repeatedly gazing at Agastya, whose form resembled the three sacred (treta) fires, he spoke with a smile.

iti idam bhavataḥ śrutvā mama vismayaḥ janitaḥ
3. "Venerable sir, was this Lanka even in ancient times (an abode) of flesh-eating rakshasas?" Having heard this from you, great astonishment has arisen in me.

4. naḥ iti śrutam [yat] rākṣasāḥ pulastyavaṃśāt udbhūtāḥ
idānīm ca api anyataḥ saṃbhavaḥ tvayā kīrtitaḥ [asti]
4. It has been heard by us that the Rākṣasas originated from the lineage of Pulastya. Now, however, an origin from another source has also been described by you.

रावणस्य च पुत्रेभ्यः किं नु ते बलवत्तराः ॥५॥

5. kim nu te (rākṣasāḥ) rāvaṇāt kumbhakarṇāt prahastāt
vikaṭāt ca api rāvaṇasya putrebhyaḥ balavattarāḥ (santi)?
5. Are these (new Rākṣasas) truly more powerful than Rāvaṇa, Kumbhakarṇa, Prahasta, Vikaṭa, and even Rāvaṇa's sons?

6. kaḥ eṣām pūrvakaḥ brahman kiṃnāmā kiṃtapobalaḥ
aparādham ca kam prāpya viṣṇunā drāvitāḥ purā
6. brahman eṣām kaḥ pūrvakaḥ kiṃnāmā kiṃtapobalaḥ (ca āsīt)? ca kam aparādham prāpya,
viṣṇunā purā drāvitāḥ?
6. O Brahmā, who among them was their progenitor, what was his name, and what was the strength of his austerity (tapas)? And having committed what offense, were they formerly driven away by Viṣṇu?
एतद्विस्तरतः सर्वं कथयस्व ममानघ ।
कौतूहलं कृतं मह्यं नुद भानुर्यथा तमः ॥७॥

7. anagha,
etat sarvam vistarataḥ mama kathayasva.
mahyam kautūhalam kṛtam (asti),
(tat) nuda yathā bhānuḥ tamaḥ (nudati).
7. O sinless one, tell me all of this in detail. My curiosity has been aroused; dispel it, just as the sun dispels darkness.
राघवस्य तु तच्छ्रुत्वा संस्कारालंकृतं वचः ।
ईषद्विस्मयमानस्तमगस्त्यः प्राह राघवम् ॥८॥
8. rāghavasya tu tacchrutvā saṃskārālaṃkṛtaṃ vacaḥ ,

8. rāghavasya tu tat śrutvā saṃskārālaṃkṛtam vacaḥ
īṣadvismayamānaḥ tam agastyaḥ prāha rāghavam
8. agastyaḥ īṣadvismayamānaḥ rāghavasya saṃskārālaṃkṛtam
tat vacaḥ śrutvā tu tam rāghavam prāha
8. Having heard that refined speech of Rāghava, Agastya, slightly amazed, then spoke to Rāghava.
प्रजापतिः पुरा सृष्ट्वा अपः सलिलसंभवः ।
तासां गोपायने सत्त्वानसृजत् पद्मसंभवः ॥९॥
9. prajāpatiḥ purā sṛṣṭvā apaḥ salilasaṃbhavaḥ ,

9. prajāpatiḥ purā sṛṣṭvā apaḥ salilasaṃbhavaḥ
tāsām gopāyane sattvān asṛjat padmasaṃbhavaḥ
9. purā salilasaṃbhavaḥ padmasaṃbhavaḥ prajāpatiḥ
apaḥ sṛṣṭvā tāsām gopāyane sattvān asṛjat
9. Formerly, the creator (prajāpati), who is known as the one born from the waters and also from a lotus, having created the waters, then brought forth beings (sattva) for their protection.
ते सत्त्वाः सत्त्वकर्तारं विनीतवदुपस्थिताः ।
किं कुर्म इति भाषन्तः क्षुत्पिपासाभयार्दिताः ॥१०॥
10. te sattvāḥ sattvakartāraṃ vinītavadupasthitāḥ ,
kiṃ kurma iti bhāṣantaḥ kṣutpipāsābhayārditāḥ.
10. te sattvāḥ sattvakartāram vinītavat upasthitāḥ
kim kurma iti bhāṣantaḥ kṣutpipāsābhayārditāḥ
10. te sattvāḥ kṣutpipāsābhayārditāḥ vinītavat
sattvakartāram upasthitāḥ kim kurma iti bhāṣantaḥ
10. Those beings (sattva), afflicted by hunger, thirst, and fear, humbly approached their creator (prajāpati), asking, "What shall we do?"
प्रजापतिस्तु तान्याह सत्त्वानि प्रहसन्निव ।
आभाष्य वाचा यत्नेन रक्षध्वमिति मानदः ॥११॥
11. prajāpatistu tānyāha sattvāni prahasanniva ,
ābhāṣya vācā yatnena rakṣadhvamiti mānadaḥ.
11. prajāpatiḥ tu tān āha sattvāni prahasan iva
ābhāṣya vācā yatnena rakṣadhvam iti mānadaḥ
11. tu mānadaḥ prajāpatiḥ prahasan iva tān sattvāni
ābhāṣya vācā yatnena rakṣadhvam iti āha
11. But Prajāpati, the bestower of honor, as if smiling, addressed those beings (sattva) and said, "Diligently protect (the waters)!"
रक्षाम इति तत्रान्यैर्यक्षामेति तथापरैः ।
भुङ्क्षिताभुङ्क्षितैरुक्तस्ततस्तानाह भूतकृत् ॥१२॥

12. rakṣāmaḥ iti tatra anyaiḥ yakṣāmaḥ iti tathā aparaiḥ
| bhuṅkṣita-abhuṅkṣitaiḥ uktaḥ tataḥ tān āha bhūtakṛt
12. Some among them said, "Let us protect!" and others said, "Let us worship!" Addressed by those who had eaten and those who had not eaten, the creator of beings (Brahma) then spoke to them.
रक्षाम इति यैरुक्तं राक्षसास्ते भवन्तु वः ।
यक्षाम इति यैरुक्तं ते वै यक्षा भवन्तु वः ॥१३॥
13. rakṣāma iti yairuktaṃ rākṣasāste bhavantu vaḥ ,
yakṣāma iti yairuktaṃ te vai yakṣā bhavantu vaḥ.
13. rakṣāmaḥ iti yaiḥ uktam rākṣasāḥ te bhavantu vaḥ |
yakṣāmaḥ iti yaiḥ uktam te vai yakṣāḥ bhavantu vaḥ
13. To those who said, "Let us protect," he declared, "They shall be your (rākṣasas)." And to those who said, "Let us worship," he declared, "They indeed shall be your (yakṣas)."
तत्र हेतिः प्रहेतिश्च भ्रातरौ राक्षसर्षभौ ।
मधुकैटभसंकाशौ बभूवतुररिंदमौ ॥१४॥
14. tatra hetiḥ prahetiśca bhrātarau rākṣasarṣabhau ,

14. tatra hetiḥ prahetiḥ ca bhrātarau rākṣasa-ṛṣabhau
| madhu-kaiṭabha-saṃkāśau babhūvatuḥ arindamau
14. Among them were two brothers, Heti and Praheti, who were chief (rākṣasas) and subduers of enemies, resembling Madhu and Kaiṭabha.
प्रहेतिर्धार्मिकस्तत्र न दारान् सो ऽभिकाङ्क्षति ।
हेतिर्दारक्रियार्थं तु यत्नं परमथाकरोत् ॥१५॥
15. prahetirdhārmikastatra na dārān so'bhikāṅkṣati ,
hetirdārakriyārthaṃ tu yatnaṃ paramathākarot.
15. prahetiḥ dhārmikaḥ tatra na dārān saḥ abhikāṅkṣati |
hetiḥ dāra-kriyā-artham tu yatnam param atha akarot
15. Praheti, being righteous, did not desire wives. However, Heti then made great effort for the purpose of marriage.
स कालभगिनीं कन्यां भयां नाम भयावहाम् ।
उदावहदमेयात्मा स्वयमेव महामतिः ॥१६॥
16. sa kālabhaginīṃ kanyāṃ bhayāṃ nāma bhayāvahām ,

16. sa kālabhaginīm kanyām bhayām nāma bhayāvahām
udāvahat ameyātmā svayam eva mahāmatiḥ
16. sa mahāmatiḥ ameyātmā svayam eva kālabhaginīm
bhayām nāma bhayāvahām kanyām udāvahat
16. He, the great-minded one of immeasurable nature (ātman), personally married the terrifying maiden named Bhayā, who was the sister of Time.
स तस्यां जनयामास हेती राक्षसपुंगवः ।
पुत्रं पुत्रवतां श्रेष्ठो विद्युत्केश इति श्रुतम् ॥१७॥
17. sa tasyāṃ janayāmāsa hetī rākṣasapuṃgavaḥ ,

putravatām śreṣṭhaḥ vidyutkeśa iti śrutam
17. sa hetī rākṣasapuṅgavaḥ putravatām śreṣṭhaḥ
tasyām vidyutkeśa iti śrutam putram janayāmāsa
17. Heti, the chief among rākṣasas and the best among fathers, begot in her a son named Vidyutkeśa, who became famous.
विद्युत्केशो हेतिपुत्रः प्रदीप्ताग्निसमप्रभः ।
व्यवर्धत महातेजास्तोयमध्य इवाम्बुजम् ॥१८॥
18. vidyutkeśo hetiputraḥ pradīptāgnisamaprabhaḥ ,
vyavardhata mahātejāstoyamadhya ivāmbujam.
18. vidyutkeśaḥ hetiputraḥ pradīptāgnisamaprabhaḥ
vyavardhata mahātejāḥ toyamadhye iva ambujam
18. hetiputraḥ vidyutkeśaḥ mahātejāḥ pradīptāgnisamaprabhaḥ
toyamadhye ambujam iva vyavardhata
18. Vidyutkeśa, the son of Heti, greatly radiant and with a splendor like a blazing fire, grew like a lotus in water.
स यदा यौवनं भद्रमनुप्राप्तो निशाचरः ।
ततो दारक्रियां तस्य कर्तुं व्यवसितः पिता ॥१९॥
19. sa yadā yauvanaṃ bhadramanuprāpto niśācaraḥ ,
tato dārakriyāṃ tasya kartuṃ vyavasitaḥ pitā.

tataḥ dārakriyām tasya kartum vyavasitaḥ pitā
19. yadā sa niśācaraḥ bhadram yauvanam anuprāptaḥ
tataḥ pitā tasya dārakriyām kartum vyavasitaḥ
19. When he, the rākṣasa, attained auspicious youth, his father then resolved to arrange his marriage.
संध्यादुहितरं सो ऽथ संध्यातुल्यां प्रभावतः ।
वरयामास पुत्रार्थं हेती राक्षसपुंगवः ॥२०॥
20. saṃdhyāduhitaraṃ so'tha saṃdhyātulyāṃ prabhāvataḥ ,
varayāmāsa putrārthaṃ hetī rākṣasapuṃgavaḥ.
20. sandhyāduhitaram saḥ atha sandhyātulyām prabhāvataḥ
varayāmāsa putrārtham hetiḥ rākṣasapuṅgavaḥ
20. hetiḥ rākṣasapuṅgavaḥ saḥ atha prabhāvataḥ
sandhyātulyām sandhyāduhitaram putrārtham varayāmāsa
20. Then Heti, the chief of the rākṣasas (demons), desired to marry Sandhyā's daughter, who was equal to Sandhyā in splendor, for the sake of a son.
अवश्यमेव दातव्या परस्मै सेति संध्यया ।
चिन्तयित्वा सुता दत्ता विद्युत्केशाय राघव ॥२१॥
21. avaśyameva dātavyā parasmai seti saṃdhyayā ,
cintayitvā sutā dattā vidyutkeśāya rāghava.
21. avaśyameva dātavyā parasmai sā iti sandhyayā
cintayitvā sutā dattā vidyutkeśāya rāghava
21. rāghava sandhyayā sā parasmai avaśyameva
dātavyā iti cintayitvā sutā vidyutkeśāya dattā
21. O Rāghava, Sandhyā, having reflected that "She must certainly be given to another," then gave her daughter to Vidyutkeśa.
संध्यायास्तनयां लब्ध्वा विद्युत्केशो निशाचरः ।
रमते स तया सार्धं पौलोम्या मघवानिव ॥२२॥
22. saṃdhyāyāstanayāṃ labdhvā vidyutkeśo niśācaraḥ ,
ramate sa tayā sārdhaṃ paulomyā maghavāniva.
22. sandhyāyāḥ tanayām labdhvā vidyutkeśaḥ niśācaraḥ
ramate saḥ tayā sārdham paulomyā maghavā iva
22. vidyutkeśaḥ niśācaraḥ sandhyāyāḥ tanayām labdhvā
saḥ paulomyā maghavā iva tayā sārdham ramate
22. Having obtained Sandhyā's daughter, Vidyutkeśa, the night-wanderer (rākṣasa), revels with her, just as Indra (Maghavan) does with Paulomī.
केन चित्त्वथ कालेन राम सालकटंकटा ।
विद्युत्केशाद्गर्भमाप घनराजिरिवार्णवात् ॥२३॥
23. kena cittvatha kālena rāma sālakaṭaṃkaṭā ,
vidyutkeśādgarbhamāpa ghanarājirivārṇavāt.
23. kena cit tu atha kālena rāma sālakataṅkaṭā
vidyutkeśāt garbham āpa ghanarājiḥ iva arṇavāt
23. rāma tu atha kena cit kālena sālakataṅkaṭā
vidyutkeśāt garbham āpa arṇavāt ghanarājiḥ iva
23. But then, after some time, O Rāma, Sālakaṭaṅkaṭā conceived a child from Vidyutkeśa, just as a mass of clouds takes shape from the ocean.
ततः सा राक्षसी गर्भं घनगर्भसमप्रभम् ।
प्रसूता मन्दरं गत्वा गङ्गा गर्भमिवाग्निजम् ॥२४॥
24. tataḥ sā rākṣasī garbhaṃ ghanagarbhasamaprabham ,
prasūtā mandaraṃ gatvā gaṅgā garbhamivāgnijam.
24. tataḥ sā rākṣasī garbham ghanagarbhasamaprabham
prasūtā mandaram gatvā gaṅgā garbham iva āgnijam
24. tataḥ sā rākṣasī mandaram gatvā ghanagarbhasamaprabham
garbham prasūtā gaṅgā āgnijam garbham iva
24. Then, having gone to Mount Mandara, that demoness gave birth to a child whose radiance was like that of a thundercloud, just as the Ganga delivered the fiery offspring (of Agni).
तमुत्सृज्य तु सा गर्भं विद्युत्केशाद् रतार्थिनी ।
रेमे सा पतिना सार्धं विस्मृत्य सुतमात्मजम् ॥२५॥
25. tamutsṛjya tu sā garbhaṃ vidyutkeśād ratārthinī ,
reme sā patinā sārdhaṃ vismṛtya sutamātmajam.
25. tam utsṛjya tu sā garbham vidyutkeśāt ratārthinī
reme sā patinā sārdham vismṛtya sutam ātmajam
25. tu sā vidyutkeśāt ratārthinī tam garbham utsṛjya
patinā sārdham reme sutam ātmajam vismṛtya
25. But she, desiring sexual union (rata) with Vidyutkeśa, abandoned that child and enjoyed herself with her husband, completely forgetting her own son (ātmajam).
तयोत्सृष्टः स तु शिशुः शरदर्कसमद्युतिः ।
पाणिमास्ये समाधाय रुरोद घनराडिव ॥२६॥
26. tayotsṛṣṭaḥ sa tu śiśuḥ śaradarkasamadyutiḥ ,
pāṇimāsye samādhāya ruroda ghanarāḍiva.
26. tayā utsṛṣṭaḥ saḥ tu śiśuḥ śaradarkasamadyutiḥ
pāṇim āsye samādhāya ruroda ghanarāṭ iva
26. tu tayā utsṛṣṭaḥ saḥ śiśuḥ śaradarkasamadyutiḥ
pāṇim āsye samādhāya ghanarāṭ iva ruroda
26. But that child, abandoned by her, radiant like the autumn sun, put his hand in his mouth and cried aloud like the thunderous king of clouds.
अथोपरिष्टाद्गच्छन् वै वृषभस्थो हरः प्रभुः ।
अपश्यदुमया सार्धं रुदन्तं राक्षसात्मजम् ॥२७॥
27. athopariṣṭādgacchan vai vṛṣabhastho haraḥ prabhuḥ ,
apaśyadumayā sārdhaṃ rudantaṃ rākṣasātmajam.
27. atha upariṣṭāt gacchan vai vṛṣabhasthaḥ haraḥ
prabhuḥ apaśyat umayā sārdham rudantam rākṣasātmajam
27. atha vai vṛṣabhasthaḥ gacchan prabhuḥ haraḥ
umayā sārdham rudantam rākṣasātmajam apaśyat
27. Then, indeed, Lord Hara (Shiva), riding on his bull and moving through the sky, saw the demoness's son (rākṣasātmajam) crying, accompanied by Uma.
कारुण्यभावात् पार्वत्या भवस्त्रिपुरहा ततः ।
तं राक्षसात्मजं चक्रे मातुरेव वयः समम् ॥२८॥
28. kāruṇyabhāvāt pārvatyā bhavastripurahā tataḥ ,
taṃ rākṣasātmajaṃ cakre mātureva vayaḥ samam.
28. kāruṇyabhāvāt pārvatyāḥ bhavaḥ tripuraha tataḥ
tam rākṣasātmajam cakre mātuḥ eva vayaḥ samam
28. tataḥ pārvatyāḥ kāruṇyabhāvāt bhavaḥ tripuraha
tam rākṣasātmajam mātuḥ eva vayaḥ samam cakre
28. Due to Pārvatī's compassion, Śiva (bhava), the destroyer of Tripura, then made that son of a rākṣasa to be of the same age as his mother.
अमरं चैव तं कृत्वा महादेवो ऽक्षयो ऽव्ययः ।
पुरमाकाशगं प्रादात् पार्वत्याः प्रियकाम्यया ॥२९॥
29. amaraṃ caiva taṃ kṛtvā mahādevo'kṣayo'vyayaḥ ,
puramākāśagaṃ prādāt pārvatyāḥ priyakāmyayā.
29. amaram ca eva tam kṛtvā mahādevaḥ akṣayaḥ avyayaḥ
puram ākāśagam prādāt pārvatyāḥ priyakāmyayā
29. mahādevaḥ akṣayaḥ avyayaḥ ca eva tam amaram kṛtvā
pārvatyāḥ priyakāmyayā ākāśagam puram prādāt
29. And having made him immortal, the great god (mahādeva), who is imperishable and immutable, gave him an aerial city out of a desire to please Pārvatī.
उमयापि वरो दत्तो राक्षसीनां नृपात्मज ।
सद्योपलब्धिर्गर्भस्य प्रसूतिः सद्य एव च ।
सद्य एव वयःप्राप्तिर्मातुरेव वयः समम् ॥३०॥
30. umayāpi varo datto rākṣasīnāṃ nṛpātmaja ,
sadyopalabdhirgarbhasya prasūtiḥ sadya eva ca ,
sadya eva vayaḥprāptirmātureva vayaḥ samam.
30. umayā api varaḥ dattaḥ rākṣasīnām
nṛpātmaja sadya upalabdhiḥ garbhasya
prasūtiḥ sadya eva ca sadya eva
vayaḥprāptiḥ mātuḥ eva vayaḥ samam
30. nṛpātmaja umayā api rākṣasīnām varaḥ
dattaḥ garbhasya sadya upalabdhiḥ
ca sadya eva prasūtiḥ sadya eva
vayaḥprāptiḥ mātuḥ eva vayaḥ samam
30. O son of the king, a boon was also given by Umā (Pārvatī) to the rākṣasīs: immediate conception and immediate delivery, and immediate attainment of an age equal to that of the mother.
ततः सुकेशो वरदानगर्वितः श्रियं प्रभोः प्राप्य हरस्य पार्श्वतः ।
चचार सर्वत्र महामतिः खगः खगं पुरं प्राप्य पुरंदरो यथा ॥३१॥
31. tataḥ sukeśo varadānagarvitaḥ śriyaṃ prabhoḥ prāpya harasya pārśvataḥ ,
cacāra sarvatra mahāmatiḥ khagaḥ khagaṃ puraṃ prāpya puraṃdaro yathā.
31. tataḥ sukeśaḥ varadānagarvitaḥ śriyam
prabhoḥ prāpya harasya pārśvataḥ
cacāra sarvatra mahāmatiḥ khagaḥ
khagam puram prāpya purandaraḥ yathā
31. tataḥ varadānagarvitaḥ mahāmatiḥ
khagaḥ sukeśaḥ harasya prabhoḥ pārśvataḥ
śriyam prāpya khagam puram prāpya
purandaraḥ yathā sarvatra cacāra
31. Then Sukeśa, proud due to the boon, having obtained the glory of Lord Hara (Śiva) from his proximity, and being great-minded, roamed everywhere after acquiring the aerial city, just as Indra (purandara) roams.
