SUNDARAKANDA
तथा विप्रेक्षमाणस्य वनं पुष्पितपादपम् ।
विचिन्वतश्च वैदेहीं किञ्चिच्छेषा निशाऽभवत् ॥
Whilst he was looking at the forest full
of blossoming trees, and searching for Sita,
only very little of the night was unspent.
षडङ्गवेद विदुषां ऋतुप्रवरयाजिनाम् ।
शुश्राव ब्रह्मवोषांश्च विरात्रे ब्रह्मरक्षसाम् ॥
285
And at that late time of the night, he
heard the holy chanting of the Brahma-
rakshasas who were experts in all the six
ancillaries of the Vedas and who had
performed the greatest sacrifices.
अथ मङ्गलव दित्रैः शब्दैः श्रोत्रमनोहरैः ।
प्राबुध्यत महाबाहुर्दशग्र वो महाबलः ।
Then the ten-necked and highly-heroic
Ravana of mighty arms was roused by the
sounds of auspicious instruments, melodi-
ous to the ears.
विबुध्य तु यथाकालं राक्षसेन्द्रः प्रतापवान् ।
अशोकवनिकामेव प्राविशत् सन्ततद्रुमाम् ।
वृतः परमनारीभिः ताराभिरिव चन्द्रमाः ॥
