46 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे युद्धकाण्डे सप्तपञ्चाशः सर्गः ॥६-५७॥ अकम्पनवधं श्रुत्वा क्रुद्धो वै राक्षसेश्वरः। किंचिद् दीनमुखश्चापि सचिवांस्तानुदैक्षत॥ १॥
In the revered Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Yuddha Kāṇḍa, this is the fifty-seventh chapter. Having heard of Akampana’s slaying, the lord of the rākṣasas became angry; somewhat downcast in face as well, he looked at those ministers. ॥ 1 ॥
स तु ध्यात्वा मुहूर्तं तु मन्त्रिभिः संविचार्य च। ततस्तु रावणः पूर्वदिवसे राक्षसाधिपः। पुरीं परिययौ लङ्कां सर्वान् गुल्मानवेक्षितुम्॥ २॥
Having reflected for a moment and having deliberated with the ministers, then Rāvaṇa, the lord of the rākṣasas, went around the city of Laṅkā on the previous day in order to inspect all the military posts. ॥ 2 ॥
तां राक्षसगणैर्गुप्तां गुल्मैर्बहुभिरावृताम्। ददर्श नगरीं राजा पताकाध्वजमालिनीम्॥ ३॥
The king saw that city, guarded by hosts of rākṣasas, surrounded by many military posts, and adorned with rows of banners and flags. ॥ 3 ॥
रुद्धां तु नगरीं दृष्ट्वा रावणो राक्षसेश्वरः। उवाचात्महितं काले प्रहस्तं युद्धकोविदम्॥ ४॥
Seeing the city blockaded, Rāvaṇa, the lord of the rākṣasas, at the proper time spoke to Prahasta, skilled in warfare, words conducive to his own welfare. ॥ 4 ॥
पुरस्योपनिविष्टस्य सहसा पीडितस्य ह। नान्ययुद्धात् प्रपश्यामि मोक्षं युद्धविशारद॥ ५॥
For one who has encamped against a city and is suddenly hard-pressed, I see no deliverance except through battle, O expert in war.
