Having read the intention of that high-souled Raghava, he retired from
the battle-field and entered into the city of Lanka. And remembering the
destruction of many a quick-paced Rakshasa, his eyes were rendered
coppery with ire; and that hero, the son of Ravana, issued out of the
city again. And that highly powerful, Indrajit, a descendant of Pulasta
and an enemy of the celestials, issued out, encircled by the Rakshasas,
by the western gate. And beholding the heroic brothers Rama and
Lakshmana prepared for fight, Indrajit spread illusions. And placing an
illusory figure of Sita on the car, encircled by a huge army he began to
make arrangements for her destruction. And desiring to charm all with
his illusions, that one of wicked intent, preparing himself to slay
Sita, proceeded towards the monkeys. And beholding him thus proceed, the
monkeys, inflamed with ire, desirous of fighting and with crags in their
hands, moved on, And preceded them all, Hanuman, the foremost of the
monkeys, with a huge mountain-top in his hand. He beheld there, on
Indrajit's car, Sita, deprived of all joy, poorly, greatly reduced with
fasts and wearing a single braid. And Raghava's beloved spouse wore a
piece of soiled cloth, and though highly beautiful, the grace of her
person was greatly spoiled with dirt. That daughter of Janaka, was not
seen by him for a long time. And beholding her and deciding instantly
that she is the daughter of Mithila, (he became greatly sorry). And
seeing her on the car, innocent, poor, deprived of joy and brought under
the influence of the son of the lord of Rakshasas that great monkey
thought within himself--'What must be the intention of Indrajit?' and
accompanied by heroic monkeys advanced towards the son of Ravana. And
beholding that monkey host, Ravana's son became beside himself with ire
and unsheathing his weapon _Nistrinsha_, caught her by the hair. And
that Rakshasa addressed himself to strike her in the presence of all
those monkeys, and that illusory figure of Sita began to bewail saying,
"O Rama! O Rama!" And seeing her thus caught by the head, Hanuman, the
son of Maruta, greatly sorry, began to shed tears. And beholding that
beloved spouse of Rama, having a tender and beautiful person, he
addressed angrily the son of the lord of Rakshasas with harsh words. "It
is for thy destruction, O Vicious-souled one! that thou hast touched her
hair. Being descended from that great Brahma ascetic thou art born as a
Rakshasa. O! cursed art thou, since thou hast cherished such a desire
and engaged in such a vicious deed. O vile! O wicked! O cruel and
dishonorable wight! O thou having vice for thy prowess! O shameless! Art
thou not ashamed of perpetrating such an inhuman deed. What hath
Maithili done by thee, O cruel one! that thou art ready to slay her--She
hath been banished from her home, territory and hath been separated from
her lord. O thou worthy of being slain, destroying Sita, thou shalt not
live long as thou hast been brought under me. Thou shalt after the death
reach the place which is occupied by those who murder women--a place
which is avoided even by those who commit every sort of crime punishable
by law". Saying this Hanuman, accompanied by monkeys armed with weapons,
and excited with ire, proceeded towards the son of the lord of
Rakshasas. Beholding the highly powerful monkeys advance thus the
Rakshasas, inflamed with wrath, obstructed them. And assailing the
monkey-hosts with thousands of arrows, Indrajit spoke unto that foremost
of monkeys, Hanuman, saying,--"To-day I shall slay before you all
Vaidehi, for whom thou, Sugriva and Rama have come. Slaying her, O
monkey, I shall afterwards kill thee, Rama, Lakshmana and Sugriva and
the dishonorable Bibhisana. And, O monkey, about not destroying women,
of which thou wert speaking (I might say) that we must always do what
pains our enemies".[336] Saying this, Indrajit with a sharp sword,
himself killed the illusory Sita thus bewailing. And being sundered by
him obliquely in a way in which a sacred thread lies on one's own
person, the innocent (Sita) having a beautiful countenance fell down on
the earth. And slaying her Indrajit spoke unto Hanuman, saying,--"Behold
I have slain (before thee) with my sword Rama's beloved. And Vaidehi
being thus slain, all your labours have been rendered useless". And
destroying her with his own hand by means of a huge sword, Indrajit,
greatly pleased ascended his car and began to emit dreadful roars. And
the monkeys stationed near heard that terrible roar and saw him enter
the castle.[337] And slaying Sita[338] that wicked-minded son of Ravana
became greatly pleased. And beholding him thus delighted the monkeys
being greatly sorry fled away.
[336] There is one sloka intervening according to some texts--but it has
been omitted by many. The reasons for this omission are best known
to them. The purport is:--"Why did Rama slay Taraka before? And I
shall therefore slay his spouse the daughter of king Janaka".
Hearin Indrajit attempts to justify himself and wants to prove
that Rama is equally blameable for this.--T.
[337] The castle built by Indrajit by means of his illusory power in the
air.--T.
[338] This refers to the figure of Sita made by illusion.--T.
SECTION LXXXII.
Hearing that dreadful uproar resembling the sound of Indra's
thunder-bolt, the monkeys, casting their looks on all sides fled away.
Thereupon Hanuman, the son of Maruta, spoke unto them, poorly, terrified
and of a sorrowful countenance, saying,--"O monkeys, why do ye look so
melancholy and why are you flying away? Why have ye renounced your
earnest desire for fight? And where is your heroism gone? Do ye remain
behind me, I shall go first in the battle". Being thus addressed by that
highly intelligent son of the Wind-god, they were greatly excited with
wrath and being pleased took up trees and crags in their hands. And
roaring thus the leading monkeys advanced towards the Rakshasas and
stood encircling Hanuman in the battle-field. And being surrounded on
all sides by leading monkeys, Hanuman began to burn down enemy's host
like unto fire spreading its flames. And being encircled by monkey-hosts
that mighty monkey resembling Death himself began to grind the
Rakshasas. And being overwhelmed with grief and wrought up with ire,
that monkey Hanuman, threw a huge crag on the car of that son of Ravana.
Beholding that crag about to fall down on the car, the charioteer moved
his horses and it was speedily brought at some distance. And not
reaching Indrajit stationed on the car and the charioteer, that crag,
uselessly hurled, fell down on the earth. And that crag falling down
many of the Rakshasas were crushed. Thereupon hundreds of huge-bodied
monkeys, emitting cries and taking up crags and trees proceeded towards
him (Indrajit) and hurled them at him. And the monkeys gifted with
dreadful prowess began to make a down-pour of crags and trees. They thus
assailed the enemies and frequently emitted cries. And the grim-visaged
night-rangers were thus assailed with trees in that field by the
terrible monkeys. Beholding his army thus distressed by the monkeys,
Indrajit, excited with wrath, and taking up his dart, proceeded towards
the enemies, and encircled by his soldiers showered terrible shafts upon
them. And that one of dreadful prowess slew many a leading monkey by
means of darts, Acanis, swords, _patticas_ and clubs. And the highly
powerful monkeys destroyed his retinue, with crags, stones and trees
having strong trunks. And Hanuman thus crushed many a Rakshasa of
terrible deeds. Obstructing the Rakshasas (for some time) Hanuman spoke
unto monkeys, saying,--"Stay, we should not fight now. That daughter of
Janaka hath been slain, for whom we have engaged in fight, renouncing
all hope of life and desiring to accomplish Rama's satisfaction. Let us
now go and inform Rama and Sugriva of it. And we shall do as we shall be
commanded by them. Saying this and desisting all the monkeys from
encounter that foremost of monkeys proceeded undaunted and heroically.
And beholding Hanuman proceed thus where Raghava was that wicked-minded
one (Indrajit) with a view to offer oblations unto Fire entered the
sacrificial altar _Nikumbhila_. And reaching there Indrajit lighted up
fire and began to pour oblations therein. And the Fire blazed up
receiving oblations of blood, and being satisfied assumed the appearance
of the setting sun. And Indrajit conversant with all ceremonials,
offered oblations in due form for the welfare of the Rakshasas. And they
all stood there watching the result and desirous of ascertaining the
success of the battle.[339]
[339] This sloka hath been left off in some editions.--T.
SECTION LXXXIII.
Hearing the terrible war-cry of the Rakshasas and monkeys Raghava spoke
unto Jambavan, saying:--"O gentle one, forsooth hath Hanuman performed
some mighty act--for I hear the dreadful sound of the weapons. Do thou
therefore proceed speedily, O lord of bears, with all thy soldiers to
assist that foremost of monkeys.
