THE RAMAYANA
Let that be done which was counselled
by our younger brother. That course is
salutary to us. Do what you like.
तत्तु श्रुत्वा दशग्रीवः कुम्भकर्णस्य भाषितम् ।
भ्रुकुटिं चैव संचक्रे क्रुद्धश्चैनमभाषत ॥
Hearing the speech of Kumbhakarna,
the ten-necked Ravana knit his brows and
spoke to him in anger thus :-
मान्यो गुरुरिवाचार्यः किं मां त्वमनुशाससि ।
किमेवं वाक्च्छ्रमं कृत्वा काले युक्तं विधीयताम् ॥
Do you instruct me like a venerable
guru who teaches duty? Of what use is
this effort of words? Act as is meet now.
ममापनयजं दोषं विक्रमेण समीकुरु ।
यदि खल्वस्ति मे स्नेहो विक्रमं वाऽवगच्छसि ॥
If you love me or realise your own
prowess, rectity by prowess the mischief
done by my impropriety.
तमथैवं ब्रुवाणं तु वचनं धीरदारुणम् ।
रुष्टोऽयमिति विशाय भ्रातरं क्षुभितेन्द्रियम् ।
कुम्भकर्णः शनैर्वाक्यं बभाषे परिसान्त्वयन् ॥
