331
लङ्कायां तु कृतं कर्म घोरं दृष्टा भयावहम् ।
राक्षसेन्द्रो हनुमता शक्रेणेव महात्मना ।
अब्रवीद्राक्षसान् सर्वान् ह्रिया किञ्चिदवाङ्मुखः॥
Looking at the terrible and awe-inspiring
feats performed at Lanka by Hanuman who
resembled the high-souled Indra, Ravana,
the Lord of the Rakshasas, spoke to all
the Rakshasas, his face cast down slightly
with shame :
धषिता च प्रविष्टा च लङ्का दुष्प्रसहा पुरी ।
तेन वानरमात्रेण दृष्टा सीता च जानकी ॥
"Lanka, the invincible city, has been
conquered and entered by a mere monkey.
Sita, the daughter of King Janaka, has also
been discovered (by him).
मन्त्रमूलं हि विजयं प्राहुरार्या मनस्विनः ।
तस्माद्वै रोचये मन्त्रं रामं प्रति महाबलाः ॥
The noble and high-souled ones say
that victory is dependent on deliberation.
Therefore, O highly strong ones, I desire
to take counsel with you regarding Rama.
