And the powerful lord
of Rakshasas--the Ten-necked one--made that general of
forces--Nila--aflame with dreadful shafts entering into the vitals,
resembling snakes. And assailed with shafts, Nila--leader of
monkeys--with one arm took up a mountain-top and hurled it at the lord
of Rakshas. And the energetic and high-minded Hanuman, attaining
respite, eager for encounter, seeing (the fight between the Rakshasa and
the monkey), wrought up with rage, said,--"It is not meet for me to
attack Ravana--lord of Rakshasas--engaged with Nila". And the highly
powerful Ravana, by means of seven shafts with sharpened points, hit at
the mountain-top; and shivered in pieces, it fell (to the earth). And
seeing that mountain peak shattered, that general of the
monkey-forces--slayer of hostile heroes--flamed up in wrath like the
fire at the universal wreck. And in that encounter Nila discharged
Acwakarna trees, and _Salas_, and mangoes in full flower, and various
other trees. And Ravana, getting at the trees, severed them (by means of
his arrows), and poured on the Fire-god's son terrific showers of
shafts. And assailed with fearful showers of arrows as with a mass of
clouds, that one endowed with eminent strength, decreasing his
dimensions, dropped on the top of Ravana's banner. And seeing the son of
the Fire-god descend on the top of his banner. Ravana was fired with
ire, and Nila shouted (thereat). And seeing the monkey (now) at the top
of the banner, and (now) at the end of his bow, and (now) at the crest
of his tiara, Lakshmana and Hanuman and Rama were struck with
astonishment. And also Ravana endowed with exceeding energy, astonished
at the lightness of the monkey, took up a wonderful flaming fiery
weapon. And the monkeys seeing Ravana bewildered, and delighted thereat,
set up shouts. And Ravana encaged at the shouts of the monkeys, with his
heart overwhelmed with agitation, could not address himself to any
effort. And then taking a fiery shaft and setting the same on his bow,
the night-ranger gazed at Nila. And the exceedingly energetic lord of
the Rakshasas said,--"O monkey, by virtue of thy skill in illusion, thou
art furnished with lightness. But, O monkey, if thou canst, preserve thy
life. Thou transformest thyself into many shapes. Yet this shaft of mine
discharged from my weapon, shall deprive of thy life thee that art
preserving it". Having said this, the mighty-armed Ravana--lord of the
Rakshasas--fixing his shaft on his bow, shot it at the general. And
Nila, struck at the chest with that arrow, which had been shot (by
Ravana), burning, suddenly fell down to the earth. And by virtue of the
greatness of his sire and also of his own energy, he went to the earth
on his knees, but was not utterly deprived of life. And seeing the
monkey deprived of his senses, the Ten-necked one, eager for encounter,
riding a car emitting a rattle resembling the rumbling of clouds, darted
against Sumitra's son. And entering into the arena of fight and posted
there flaming, the powerful lord of the Rakshasas, baffling (the foe),
kept stretching his bow. And as that one of immeasurable prowess kept
stretching his bow, Sumitra's son of unflagging mettle, addressed him,
saying,--"O lord of night-rangers, do thou to-day try me in encounter.
Thou ought not to strive with the monkeys". And hearing Saumitri's
speech uttered in a full voice, as well as the terrific twangs of his.
bow-string, that Raksha--the king--approaching Sumitra's son staying in
the field, spoke unto him wrathfully,--"O Raghu's son, by my luck hast
thou of perverse sense, finding thy fate come within the range of my
ken. This very instant, tormented with the springes of my shafts, thou
wilt repair to the regions of Death". Thereat, Sumitra's son, without
being overwhelmed with wonder (on witnessing Ravana's prowess),
addressed that one furnished with large and sharp teeth,--setting up
roars,--"O king, those who are (really) endowed with prowess, do not
storm. O prince of sinners, in vain thou vauntest. O lord of Rakshasas,
I know thy prowess and strength and energy and vigor. Here am I
stationed, bow and shafts in hand. Come thou. What is the use of
vain-glorious self-laudation?" Thus accosted, the Raksha monarch,
growing wroth, discharged seven shafts furnished with knobs. Thereupon
Lakshmana split them up with sharp-pointed arrows having variegated
golden knobs. And they suddenly severed like powerful serpents cut off,
Lanka's lord came under the sway of passion, and discharged other
whetted arrows. And Rama's younger brother poured showers of arrows from
his bow; and, planting himself at his post, cut off those arrows (of his
adversary) by means of razors, and crescents, and excellent _karnas_ and
darts. And seeing his arrowy net-works rendered ineffectual, that enemy
of the celestials--the king--was seized with wonderment, and again shot
sharpened arrows. And Lakshmana also, resembling Indra the Great,
setting on his bow sharpened, sharp-pointed, flaming, and luminous
shafts, endowed with the dreadful vehement impetus of the thunder-bolt,
discharged (them), to compass the destruction of the lord of Rakshas.
And thereat the Rakshasa sovereign cut off those whetted arrows; and
smote Lakshmana in the forehead with an arrow resembling the Fire of
Dooms-day in energy,--which had been conferred on him by the
Self-create. And Lakshmana, tortured with Ravana's arrow, shook, loosely
holding his bow; and then recovering his consciousness after undergoing
extreme agony, he severed the bow of the foe of the foremost of
celestials. And having cut off Ravana's bow, Dacarathas son hit (him)
with three sharp-pointed arrows. And the king smarting under the shafts,
with much ado regained his consciousness. And the enemy of the immortals
of terrific power with his bow severed, and himself hit with shafts, and
his body covered with fat, and himself washed in blood, took up a dart
conferred on him by the Self-create. And the sovereign of the Rakshasas
and their lord in that encounter hurled at Sumitra's son the dart
resembling smoking fire, sending up living flames, and striking terror
into the monkeys. And as it coursed on, Bharata's younger brother
resisted it with arrows resembling a sacrificial flame. Yet the dart
pierced into the broad arm[186] of Dacaratha's son. And smit with the
dart, that hero of the Raghu race, although possessed of strength, was
aglow. And the king at once with his arms seized that one, who had been
deprived of his senses. But he that could with his arms wield Himavan or
Mandara or Meru or the triple world itself along with the immortals,
could not (for all his strength) lift up Bharata's younger brother. And
hit at his chest by the dart of Brahma, Sumitra's son remembered that he
was verily a portion of Vishnu himself. And pressing hard Sumitra's
son--that humbler of the hauteur of the Daityas, that thorn in the sides
of the celestials--could not move him (from his place). And then the
Wind-god's offspring waxing wroth rushed at Ravana, and overwhelmed with
rage smote at his chest with his clenched fist resembling the
thunder-bolt. And boxed (by Hanumana), Ravana--lord of the
Rakshasas--went down to the ground on his knees, and shook and dropped
to the earth. And blood gushed out in streams from his mouths and eyes
and arms; and staggered and senseless, he sat down on the platform of
his car. And he was rendered insensible with his senses lost; and he
knew not where he was. And seeing Ravana endued with terrific prowess,
rendered insensible in the encounter, saints and monkeys and gods with
the Asuras set up shouts. And then the energetic Hanuman taking
Lakshmana racked by Ravana, with his arms brought him before Raghava.
And albeit incapable of being moved by the foes, (Lakshmana), on account
of the friendship of the Wind-god's offspring as well as the high
reverence in which he was held by Hanuman, became extremely light to the
monkey. And then that dart, renouncing Sumitra's son vanquished in
fight, again sought its place in Ravana's car. And the exceedingly
powerful Ravana, recovering his consciousness in that dread encounter,
took up whetted shafts and seized a mighty bow. And that finisher of
foes--Lakshmana--recovered the exercise of his senses, and had his
entire person perfectly healed,--on his recalling that he verily was a
part and parcel of Vishnu himself. And witnessing the mighty army of the
monkeys and the redoubted heroes brought down in the conflict, Raghava
rushed at Ravana. Thereat drawing near to him, Hanuman said unto
him,--"It behoveth thee to chastise the foe ascending my back, even as
Vishnu chastiseth the enemies of the immortals, riding Garutman".
Hearing the words spoken by Hanuman, Raghava at once got up on that
gigantic monkey; and that master of men beheld Ravana in battle. And
seeing him, that highly powerful one darted against Ravana, even as the
enraged Vishnu had rushed against Virochana's son,[187] upraising his
weapons. And he sharply twanged his bow-string sounding like the
terrific crash of thunder; and then in solemn tones, Rama addressed the
lord of Rakshasas, saying,--"Stay, stay, having done me such wrong.
Repairing whither, shalt thou, O powerful Rakshasa, attain respite? Even
if thou shouldst seek Yama or Indra or the Sun--son unto Vivacwan--or
the Self-sprung or the Fire-god or Sankara himself,--or go to the ten
cardinal points in ten portions,--yet shalt thou not, so resorting,
attain deliverance. And (Lakshmana), going forth to the fight, hath been
wounded with the dart and hath suddenly been stupified. But, O king of
the Rakshas, to-day in conflict Death shall claim for his own thee and
thy sons and grandsons. By me with my shafts have been slaughtered four
and ten thousand Rakshas residing in Janasthana, wielding excellent
weapons". Hearing Raghava's words, the exceedingly strong lord of the
Rakshasas, overwhelmed with a mighty wrath, recalling enmity agone, with
burning shafts resembling the fire of Doom hit in encounter the
exceedingly impetuous offspring of the Wind-god, who was bearing
Raghava. And although struck and resisted by the Rakshasa with arrows,
the energy of that one, endowed by nature with prowess--increased
greatly. And the exceedingly energetic Rama, on seeing that foremost of
the monkeys wounded by Ravana, was mastered by wrath. And Rama, closing
with his enemy, by means of whetted arrow-points severed in pieces his
car together with the wheels and the steeds, the banner, the umbrella,
and the majestic streamer, as well as with the charioteer and the
thunder-bolts and darts and swords. And then as the reverend Indra
cleaveth Meru with his thunder-bolt, (Raghava) swiftly smote on Ravana's
spacious and shapely chest with a shaft resembling Vajra and the thunder
holt. And--that the king hero--who had not smarted nor shaken under the
impetus of Vajra and the thunder-bolt,--assailed with the arrow of Rama
and agonised in consequence, shook and lost hold of his bow. And seeing
him overwhelmed, Rama took up a flaming half-moon, and with the same at
once severed the sun-bright tiara of the high-souled sovereign of the
Rakshasas. And Rama in the encounter addressed the lord of Rakshasas,
resembling a serpent bereft of venom, shorn of his splendour, like unto
the sun shrouded (in mist),--without his wonted grace, and having his
entire tiara riven--saying,--"Thou hast (in battle) performed high and
dreadful deeds,--and hast also (in the conflict) slain my foremost
heroes. And therefore I know thou art fatigued. And for this reason it
is that I will not with my shafts bring thee to the door of Death. Go
thou. I know[188] that thou art worn out with fight. Therefore, O king
of night-rangers, enter Lanka. Having a little respite, do thou depart
on thy car along with thy bowmen. Afterwards, mounted on thy car, shalt
thou behold my power". And thus addressed, the king, with his pride and
joy defeated, with his bow severed, and his steeds and charioteer
killed, himself sИсточники и права
