YUDDHAKANDA
कुपितश्च तदा तत्र किं कार्यमिति चिन्तयन् ।
आदिदेशाथ सङ्क्रद्धो रणायेन्द्रजितं सुतम् ॥
Being angry and thinking what next to
do, the highly incensed (Ravana) order-
ed his son Indrajit to battle:
जहि वीर महावीर्यौ भ्रातरौ रामलक्ष्णौ ।
अदृश्यो दृश्यमानो वा सर्वथा त्वं बलाधिकः ॥
359
"O hero, kill the highly heroic brothers
Whether you
Rama and Lakshmana.
fight unseen or seen, you are anyhow
their superior in strengh."
तथोक्तो राक्षसेन्द्रेण प्रतिगृह्य पितुर्वचः ।
यज्ञभूमौ स विधिवत् पावकं जुहुवेन्द्रजित् ॥
Being addressed thus by the king of
the Rakshasas and accepting his father's
words, Indrajit sacrificed to the fire in
the sacrificial ground.
राघवस्तु रिपोर्ज्ञात्वा मायावीर्यं दुरात्मनः ।
लक्ष्मण कीर्तिसम्पन्नमिदं वचनमब्रवीत् ॥
But Raghava, knowing the magical
prowess of his wicked-minded enemy,
spoke these words to Lakshmana, full of
fame :
कुपितश्च तदा तत्र किं कार्यमिति चिन्तयन् ।
आदिदेशाथ सङ्क्रद्धो रणायेन्द्रजितं सुतम् ॥
