YUDDHAKANDA
एवमादिविलापार्ते रावणं राक्षसाधिपम् ।
आविवेश महान् कोपः पुत्रव्यसनसंभवः ॥
365
As Ravana, the lord of Rakshasas, was
distressed by laments like these, a great
resentment possessed him in consequence
of his son's death.
ततो युद्धाय तेजस्वी रक्षोगणबलैर्वृतः ।
द्वारेण निर्ययौ तेन यत्र तौ रामलक्ष्मणौ ।
Then the effulgent (Ravana), surrounded
by the Rakshasa hosts, went forth through
the gate where Rama and Lakshmana were.
तयोश्शरपथं प्राप्तो रावणो राजपुत्रयोः ।
लक्ष्मणाभिमुखस्तिष्ठन् इदं वचनमब्रवीत् ॥
Arriving within range of the arrows of
those Princes and standing facing Lakshmana,
Ravana spoke these words:
एषा ते हृदयं भित्त्वा प्राणानादाय यास्यति ।
इत्येवमुक्त्वा तां शक्तिम् चिक्षेप च ननाद च ॥
"This will pierce your heart and fly
through with your life " — saying thus, he
let fly his Sakti and roared aloud.
