Sanskrit · 6.44.p16886

०४४ इन्द्रजिता अदृश्यरूपेण युद्धरङ्गागमनम् Your browser does not support the audio element, but here is (श्रीराम-हरिसीताराममूर्ति-घनपाठिभ्यां वचनम्) युध्यतामेव तेषां तु तदा वानररक्षसाम्। रविरस्तं गतो रात्रिः प्रवृत्ता प्राणहारिणी॥ १॥

English · Meaning

“Indrajit’s arrival on the field of battle in invisible form.” “Your browser does not support the audio element, but here is …” “The utterance/recitation by Śrīrāma-Harisītārāmamūrti-Ghanapāṭhī.” Now while those monkeys and Rākṣasas were indeed fighting, then the sun went to setting, and the night set in, taking away life.

युद्धकाण्डम्/सर्गः_४४6.44.p16887

Sanskrit · 6.44.p16887

अन्योन्यं बद्धवैराणां घोराणं जयमिच्छताम्। सम्प्रवृत्तं निशायुद्धं तदा वानररक्षसाम्॥ २॥

English · Meaning

The mutually hostile and terrible combatants, wishing for victory, then began a night-battle between the monkeys and rakshasas. The transmitted form घोराणं is grammatically irregular in this position; literally it suggests “of the terrible ones or things,” while the context requires a sense such as “dreadful.”
