20 passagesसायुधा बहवो व्योम्नि राक्षसास्त्वं निरायुधः। कथं शक्ष्यसि संयातुं मां चैव परिरक्षितुम्॥ ५१॥
There are many armed demons in the sky, while you are unarmed. How will you be able to engage them and also protect me?
युध्यमानस्य रक्षोभिस्ततस्तैः क्रूरकर्मभिः। प्रपतेयं हि ते पृष्ठाद् भयार्ता कपिसत्तम॥ ५२॥
While you are fighting with those demons of cruel deeds, I would indeed fall from your back, terrified, O best of monkeys. The transmitted form रक्षोभिस्ततस्तैः is read contextually as referring to those demons; its exact internal segmentation is uncertain, with literal possibilities including ‘with demons, with those very ones.’
अथ रक्षांसि भीमानि महान्ति बलवन्ति च। कथंचित् साम्पराये त्वां जयेयुः कपिसत्तम॥ ५३॥
Then, if the terrifying, great, and powerful demons should somehow defeat you in battle, O best of monkeys—
अथवा युध्यमानस्य पतेयं विमुखस्य ते। पतितां च गृहीत्वा मां नयेयुः पापराक्षसाः॥ ५४॥
Or, while you are fighting and turned away, I might fall from your back; and the wicked demons, seizing me after I had fallen, might carry me away.
मां वा हरेयुस्त्वद्धस्ताद् विशसेयुरथापि वा। अनवस्थौ हि दृश्येते युद्धे जयपराजयौ॥ ५५॥
Or they might carry me away from your grasp, or else they might kill me. For in battle victory and defeat are indeed seen to be uncertain.
