20 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे सुन्दरकाण्डे पञ्चाशः सर्गः ॥५-५०॥ तमुद्वीक्ष्य महाबाहुः पिङ्गाक्षं पुरतः स्थितम्। रोषेण महताऽऽविष्टो रावणो लोकरावणः॥ १॥
In the revered Rāmāyaṇa of Vālmīki, in the Sundara Kāṇḍa, this is the fiftieth canto. Seeing him—the tawny-eyed one—standing before him, Rāvaṇa, mighty-armed and a terror to the worlds, was seized by great wrath.
शङ्काहतात्मा दध्यौ स कपीन्द्रं तेजसा वृतम्। किमेष भगवान् नन्दी भवेत् साक्षादिहागतः॥ २॥
His mind struck by doubt, he pondered: “Could this be the blessed Nandī, who has arrived here in person, the lord of monkeys enveloped in splendor?”
येन शप्तोऽस्मि कैलासे मया प्रहसिते पुरा। सोऽयं वानरमूर्तिः स्यात्किंस्विद् बाणोऽपि वासुरः॥ ३॥
He by whom I was cursed on Kailāsa long ago, when I laughed—could this one here, in monkey form, perhaps be that Bāṇa, the Asura?
स राजा रोषताम्राक्षः प्रहस्तं मन्त्रिसत्तमम्। कालयुक्तमुवाचेदं वचो विपुलमर्थवत्॥ ४॥
That king, whose eyes were copper-red with anger, then spoke to Prahasta, the best of ministers, these timely words, weighty and full of meaning.
दुरात्मा पृच्छ्यतामेष कुतः किं वास्य कारणम्। वनभङ्गे च कोऽस्यार्थो राक्षसानां च तर्जने॥ ५॥
This evil-minded one should be questioned: from where has he come, and what is his reason? What purpose has he in destroying the grove and threatening the Rākṣasas?
