Sanskrit · 3.55.p08844

श्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे अरण्यकाण्डे पञ्चपञ्चाशः सर्गः ॥३-५५॥ संदिश्य राक्षसान् घोरान् रावणोऽष्टौ महाबलान्। आत्मानं बुद्धिवैक्लव्यात् कृत्कृत्यममन्यत॥ १॥

English · Meaning

In the venerable Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Araṇya-kāṇḍa, the fifty-fifth canto: Having commanded eight dreadful and exceedingly powerful Rākṣasas, Rāvaṇa, because of mental bewilderment, considered himself to have done what needed to be done. The transmitted form कृत्कृत्यम् is construed here in that contextual sense; literally, its intended expression is uncertain.
