THE RAMAYANA
Looking at the Sun and reciting (the
hymn), he obtained great joy.
त्रिराचम्य शुचिर्भूत्वा धनुरादाय वीर्यवान् ।
रावणं प्रेक्ष्य हृष्टात्मा युद्धाय समुपागमत् ।
सर्वयत्नेन महता वधे तस्य धृतोऽभवत् ॥
Sipping the water thrice and becoming
purified, the heroic (Rama) looked at
Ravana and with a delightful heart, came
forth to battle.
He became intent on the killing of
Ravana by very great effort.
ततः प्रवृत्तं सु
सुमहद्द्वैरथं युद्ध सर्वलोकभयावहम् ॥
Then there ensued the great and terrific
battle between Rama and Ravana, a
single combat with chariots, filling the
whole world with fear.
गग
रामरावणयोर्युद्धं रामरावणयोरिव ॥
As the sky can be compared only to
the sky, and the ocean only to the ocean,
so could the fight between Rama and
Ravana be compared only to the fight
between Rama and Ravana.
