21 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे अरण्यकाण्डे सप्ततितमः सर्गः ॥३-७०॥ तौ तु तत्र स्थितौ दृष्ट्वा भ्रातरौ रामलक्ष्मणौ। बाहुपाशपरिक्षिप्तौ कबन्धो वाक्यमब्रवीत्॥ १॥
In the glorious Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Forest Book, is the seventieth canto. Having seen the two brothers Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa standing there, caught in the noose of his arms, Kabandha spoke these words:
तिष्ठतः किं नु मां दृष्ट्वा क्षुधार्तं क्षत्रियर्षभौ। आहारार्थं तु संदिष्टौ दैवेन हतचेतनौ॥ २॥
Why, indeed, do you two remain standing after seeing me, hungry, O bulls among the kṣatriyas? By fate you two have been assigned as food, your consciousness struck down.
तच्छ्रुत्वा लक्ष्मणो वाक्यं प्राप्तकालं हितं तदा। उवाचार्तिसमापन्नो विक्रमे कृतनिश्चयः॥ ३॥
Hearing that, Lakṣmaṇa then spoke words that were timely and beneficial. Having fallen into distress, he had made his determination to act with valor.
त्वां च मां च पुरा तूर्णमादत्ते राक्षसाधमः। तस्मादसिभ्यामस्याशु बाहू छिन्दावहे गुरू॥ ४॥
The vilest of rakshasas will soon seize both you and me. Therefore, with our two swords, let us swiftly cut off his heavy arms.
भीषणोऽयं महाकायो राक्षसा भुजविक्रमः। लोकं ह्यतिजितं कृत्वा ह्यावां हन्तुमिहेच्छति॥ ५॥
This one is terrible, huge-bodied, a rākṣasa of the might of his arms; having indeed made the world overpowered or thoroughly subdued, he now wishes here to kill us two.
