Rama, who was unweary in action, with his shining arrows adorned with pure gold, killed those thousands of elephants dispatched by Ravana, thousands of horses, valiant demons who can change their form at will mounted on thousands of chariots with their flag-staffs, having the colour of fire, fighting with maces and iron rods and conspicuous with their golden banners.
यह श्लोक बताता है कि राम ने तीखे बाणों से रावण द्वारा भेजे गए हजारों नागों, सवारों वाले घोड़ों, अग्नि जैसे रंग वाले रथों, गदा और परिघ चलाने वाले राक्षसों, तथा सोने के झंडों से सजे, शूरवीर और इच्छानुसार रूप बदलने वाले योद्धाओं को आसानी से मार गिराया।
Seeing and hearing about the killing of the demons, the surviving demons well frightened, looked sad and were overwhelmed with anxiety. They wailed when they met their wives. All female-demons who lost their husbands, sons and kinsfolk met at one place, stricken as they were with sorrow, wailed as follows:
यहाँ संस्कृत श्लोक का सरल हिंदी अनुवाद दिया गया है: यह देखकर और सुनकर, बचे हुए राक्षस और राक्षसी भयभीत हो गए। वे सब मिलकर दुखी और चिंता से घिरे हुए थे। विधवाएं, जिनके पुत्र मारे गए थे और जिनके बंधु-बांधव नहीं रहे थे, रोते हुए और दुःख से व्याकुल होकर विलाप करने लगीं।
"How did the old and ugly Surpanakha, of sunken belly, approach, in the forest, Rama who is charming like the god of love?"
शूर्पणखा, जो भयानक और पतली कमर वाली थी, वन में कामदेव के समान सुंदर राम के पास गई।
"How strange that on seeing that Rama of tender youth, endowed with extraordinary strength and devoted to the welfare of all created beings, that ugly woman (Surpanakha) who deserved to be condemned by the people, was stung with excessive lust?"
यह श्लोक बताता है कि अत्यंत कोमल हृदय वाले, सभी प्राणियों के कल्याण में लगे हुए उस व्यक्ति को देखकर, वह स्त्री जो लोक निंदा के योग्य थी, हीन रूप वाली होकर प्रसिद्ध हो गई।
"How that ugly-faced demoness, who is bereft of all virtues, dared to make love to Rama, who is full of virtues, endowed with great bodily strength and who possessed a charming countenance?"
यहाँ संस्कृत श्लोक का सरल हिंदी अनुवाद दिया गया है: गुणों से रहित, मुख से सुंदर, लेकिन दुष्ट मुख वाली वह राक्षसी, अत्यंत तेजस्वी राम को कैसे चाह सकती थी?

"Because of the ill-luck of these people, and to the destruction of demons and of Dushana and Khara, that grey-haired and disgusting woman, who had developed wrinkles, tried to be arrogant with Rama, misdeed which was worth ridiculing and condemned by the whole world."
यहाँ संस्कृत श्लोक का सरल हिंदी अनुवाद दिया गया है: इस अल्पभाग्यशाली प्रजा के कारण, श्वेत केश वाली राक्षसी (ताड़का) ने, सभी लोकों द्वारा निंदित और हास्यास्पद कार्य किया। राक्षसों, दूषण और खर के विनाश के लिए, उसने राम के विरुद्ध एक भयानक युद्ध छेड़ा।
"For the sake of that Surpanakha, Ravana built this huge enmity. For his own destruction, Ravana the demon brought that Seetha."
रावण ने अपने लिए यह बड़ा वैर मोल लिया था। उस दस सिर वाले राक्षस ने सीता का वध करने के लिए उसे हर लिया था।

न च सीतान् दशग्रीवः प्राप्नोति जनकात्मजाम् |
बद्धं बलवता वैरमक्षयन् राघवेण ह || ९४-६-१२
"Ravana cannot obtain Seetha, the daughter of Janaka, but an endless enmity has been built with the mighty Rama."
यहाँ संस्कृत श्लोक का सरल हिंदी अनुवाद दिया गया है: रावण सीता को प्राप्त नहीं कर सकता क्योंकि राम ने उसके साथ एक अटूट शत्रुता स्थापित कर ली है।
"Seeing that instance of Rama killing single-handedly Viradha the demon, who was yearning for Seetha, is enough indeed (to convince Ravana of Rama's strength and ability)"
सीता की इच्छा करते हुए उस विराध नामक राक्षस को देखकर, राम ने उसे अकेले ही मार डाला, यह उसका पर्याप्त उदाहरण है।
"In Janasthana, Rama killed fourteen thousand demons who were doing terrific feats, with his arrows resembling tongues of fire."
जनस्थान में भयानक कर्म करने वाले चौदह हजार राक्षसों को अग्नि की शिखा के समान तीखे बाणों से मार गिराया गया।
"In that battle, Khara, Dushana and Trishira were killed with arrows resembling the sun. That instance should have been sufficient (to open the eyes of Ravana)."
युद्ध में खर, दूषण और त्रिशिरा मारे गए। सूर्य के समान तेजस्वी बाणों से यह पर्याप्त प्रमाण है।
"Further, that Kabandha having arms with a length of eight miles each, with blood as his food and roaring with anger was killed. That instance should have been sufficient."
यहाँ श्लोक का सरल हिंदी अनुवाद दिया गया है: बाहुओं वाले कबन्ध का वध हुआ, जो रक्त का भक्षण करता था। क्रोधित होकर वह विलाप करने लगा, यह उसका अंतिम उदाहरण था।
"Rama killed the mighty Vali, the son of Indra the lord of celestials, looking like the black cloud. That instance should have been sufficient. (To open the eyes of Ravana)"
राम ने बलवान, इंद्र के पुत्र, मेघ के समान रंग वाले बाली का वध किया। यह उस समय के लिए एक पर्याप्त उदाहरण था।

धर्मार्थसहितन् वाक्यं सर्वेषां रक्षसां हितम् |

"The appropriate advice tendered by Vibhishana which was conformable to duty and interest of Ravana as also beneficial to all the demons, was not to the liking to him, due to his ignorance."
धर्म और अर्थ से युक्त यह वाक्य सभी राक्षसों के लिए हितकारी है। विभीषण ने यह बात कही थी, परन्तु मोह के कारण रावण को यह अच्छी नहीं लगी।
"Had Ravana followed Vibhishana's advice, this Lanka would not have become a burial ground, tormented by sorrow."
यदि रावण ने विभीषण की बात मानी होती, तो लंका नगरी को श्मशान भूमि की तरह दुखी और पीड़ित न होना पड़ता।
"Ravana is not able to learn a lesson, even after hearing that the mighty Kumbhakarna was killed by Rama and that unconquerable colossal-bodied Indrajit, his beloved son was killed by Lakshmana."
रावण ने अपने महाबली पुत्र कुम्भकर्ण को राम द्वारा मारा हुआ और अपने दुर्धर्ष पुत्र अतिकाय को लक्ष्मण द्वारा मारा हुआ सुनकर भी, अपने प्रिय पुत्र इन्द्रजीत के बारे में नहीं समझा।
"Ravana is not able to learn a lesson, even after hearing that the mighty Kumbhakarna was killed by Rama and that the unconquerable colossal-bodied Indrajit, his beloved son was killed by Lakshmana."
मेरे पुत्र, मेरे भाई और मेरे पति युद्ध में मारे गए। राक्षसों के कुल में ऐसी ही बातें सुनी जाती हैं।
"The valiant Rama killed hundreds and thousands of chariots, horses and elephants in the battle. He killed even the foot soldiers too."
रणभूमि में वीर राम ने हजारों की संख्या में रथ, घोड़े, हाथी, और पैदल राक्षसों को मार गिराया।

"Rama, coming in the form of either Rudra the lord of destruction or Vishnu, the lord of preservation, or Indra the lord of celestials who performed one hundred ritual sacrifices, or otherwise Yama, the Lord of Death himself, is killing us."
रुद्र हों, विष्णु हों, या इन्द्र हों, चाहे स्वयं यमराज ही क्यों न हों, वे राम के रूप में हमें मार सकते हैं।
"As Rama killed all our great warriors, we are lamenting with a loss of hope in our lives, failing to see an end to our fear and having become helpless."
रावण के मारे जाने पर, हम स्त्रियाँ जीवन से निराश हो गईं। भय का अंत न देख पाने के कारण, असहाय होकर हम विलाप कर रही हैं।
"The valiant Ravana, having been gifted with great boons by Brahma, is not able to understand this greatly terrific calamity, coming forth from the hand of Rama."
राम के हाथ से दस सिर वाला रावण, जो युद्ध में वरदान प्राप्त शूरवीर था, यह अत्यंत भयानक भय उत्पन्न हुआ, जिसे वह समझ नहीं पा रहा था।

"Neither the celestials nor Gandharvas the celestial musicians nor the evil spirits nor the demons are able to protect Ravana, who is about to attack Rama in battle."
राम के साथ युद्ध में कोई भी देवता, गंधर्व, पिशाच या राक्षस उसे बचाने में सक्षम नहीं था।
"Bad omens are appearing for Ravana, as and when his warriors are setting out for each combat. They are indeed telling about the prospective annihilation of Ravana by Rama."
युद्ध में रावण के कई उत्पात देखे गए। ये उत्पात ही राम द्वारा रावण के वध का संकेत देंगे।

पितामह (ब्रह्मा) ने प्रसन्न होकर रावण को देवताओं, दानवों और राक्षसों से अभय वरदान दिया था, मनुष्यों से नहीं माँगा था।

"I think that such a calamity has come from that humanity only dreadfully causing an end to the lives for the demons and for Ravana too. There is no doubt about it."
यह निश्चित रूप से राक्षसों के राजा रावण द्वारा प्राप्त किया गया भयानक भय है, जो जीवन का अंत करने वाला है।
"The celestials, tormented by the mighty Ravana, because of the misuse of the boon bestowed on him, worshipped Brahma the lord of creation with their glowing austerities."
बलवान् राक्षस के वरदान से पीड़ित होकर देवताओं ने अपने तेजस्वी तप से पितामह ब्रह्मा की पूजा की।
"The great-souled Brahma, duly gratified, spoke for the benefit of those celestials, the following words to them:
देवताओं के कल्याण के लिए पितामह ने देवताओं से कहा, "यह महान वचन सुनकर मैं प्रसन्न हूँ।"
"From today onwards, all the ogres and demons, constantly enveloped with fear, will be wandering always in the three worlds."
आज से तीनों लोकों में सभी दानव और राक्षस भय से आच्छादित होकर नित्य और शाश्वत काल तक विचरण करेंगे।
"All the celestials together with Indra and others, got propitiated by Shiva the lord of destruction, with the ensign of a bull on his flag-staff and who destroyed the three strong cities built of gold, silver and iron in the sky, air and earth for demons."
देवताओं और इंद्र आदि के साथ मिलकर वृषध्वज, त्रिपुरारी और महादेव को प्रसन्न किया गया।
"The gracious Shiva spoke the following words to the celestials: 'For your benefit, a woman will be born, for causing destruction of the demons.'"
महादेव प्रसन्न होकर देवताओं से बोले, "तुम सबके हित के लिए एक ऐसी स्त्री उत्पन्न होगी जो राक्षसों का नाश करेगी।"
"This Seetha, the destroyer of demons, employed by the celestials, will consume us along with Ravana, as in the past hunger consumed the demons."
यह श्लोक कहता है कि देवताओं द्वारा भेजी गई यह क्षुधा (भूख) सीता के रूप में राक्षसों का नाश करेगी, जिसमें रावण भी शामिल है। यह सीता की शक्ति का वर्णन करता है जो राक्षसों का संहार करने वाली है।
"As a result of the bad behaviour of Ravana, the wicked demon with an evil disposition of mind, this terrific havoc with grief occurred."
रावण द्वारा हरण की गई, दुष्ट बुद्धि वाले दुराचारी के कारण, यह अत्यंत भयानक और दुख से भरा हुआ है।

"Rama is occupying us, as the Death occupies at the time of dissolution of the universe. We do not find any one now, who can give protection to us in this world."
हम ऐसे किसी को भी संसार में नहीं देखते जो हमारा रक्षक हो सके। राम के द्वारा छोड़े गए हम, युग के अंत में समय की तरह हैं।
"There is no refuge whatsoever for us, who stand in great danger, as indeed there is no shelter for female-elephants, enveloped by a wild fire in a forest."
जब हम घने जंगल में आग से घिरे हाथियों की तरह भय से घिर जाते हैं, तो हमारी रक्षा करने वाला कोई नहीं होता।
"The great-souled Vibhishana did something opportune. He sought refuge in him alone from whom such a peril is perceived."
पौलस्त्य (रावण) ने जब समय आने पर यह भयंकर दृश्य देखा, तो उस महात्मा ने उसी (राम) की शरण ली।
Then, all female-demons, embracing each other in their arms, afflicted as they were with grief and tormented with excessive fear, lamented thus and wept loudly and severely.
यह सुनकर, सभी राक्षसी स्त्रियाँ, एक-दूसरे को बाँहों से कसकर गले लगाकर, अत्यंत भय और पीड़ा से व्याकुल होकर, ज़ोर-ज़ोर से रोने लगीं।
Rama, who was unweary in action, with his shining arrows adorned with pure gold, killed those thousands of elephants dispatched by Ravana, thousands of horses, valiant demons who can change their form at will mounted on thousands of chariots with their flag-staffs, having the colour of fire, fighting with maces and iron rods and conspicuous with their golden banners.
