26 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे अरण्यकाण्डे अष्टचत्वारिंशः सर्गः ॥३-४८॥ एवं ब्रुवत्यां सीतायां संरब्धः परुषं वचः। ललाटे भ्रुकुटिं कृत्वा रावणः प्रत्युवाच ह॥ १॥
In the revered Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Araṇya Kāṇḍa, the forty-eighth canto, thus: While Sītā was speaking in this manner, Rāvaṇa, enraged, made a harsh reply. Drawing together his brows on his forehead, Rāvaṇa then answered: 1
भ्राता वैश्रवणस्याहं सापत्नो वरवर्णिनि। रावणो नाम भद्रं ते दशग्रीवः प्रतापवान्॥ २॥
I am the brother of Vaiśravaṇa, born of a different mother, O lovely one. My name is Rāvaṇa; may good befall you. I am the mighty Daśagrīva, the Ten-necked One. 2
यस्य देवाः सगन्धर्वाः पिशाचपतगोरगाः। विद्रवन्ति सदा भीता मृत्योरिव सदा प्रजाः॥ ३॥
Those gods together with the Gandharvas, and the Piśācas, birds, and serpents, flee always in fear of him, just as living beings always flee from Death. 3
येन वैश्रवणो भ्राता वैमात्राः कारणान्तरे। द्वन्द्वमासादितः क्रोधाद् रणे विक्रम्य निर्जितः॥ ४॥
By whom my brother Vaiśravaṇa—described in the transmitted text by the form वैमात्राः, literally “born of a different mother” in a form that does not agree straightforwardly here—was, on another occasion, engaged in single combat and defeated in battle, after Rāvaṇa exerted his valor in anger. A conditional reading of the intended sense is: “By whom my half-brother Vaiśravaṇa was confronted in single combat and defeated in battle, after I, enraged, exerted my power.” 4
मद्भयार्तः परित्यज्य स्वमधिष्ठानमृद्धिमत्। कैलासं पर्वतश्रेष्ठमध्यास्ते नरवाहनः॥ ५॥
Afflicted by fear of me, the lord of men, having abandoned his own prosperous abode, dwells upon Kailāsa, the foremost of mountains.
