43 passagesनिवर्तमानः संहृष्टो रावणस्सुदुरात्मवान् । जह्रे पथि नरेन्द्रर्षिदेवगन्धर्वकन्यकाः ।। ७.२४.१ ।।
As he was returning, the exceedingly wicked-minded Rāvaṇa, greatly delighted, abducted on the road the daughters of kings, sages, gods, and Gandharvas.
दर्शनीयां हि रक्षः स कन्यां स्त्रीं वापि पश्यति । हत्वा बन्धुजनं तस्या विमाने तां रुरोध ह ।। ७.२४.२ ।।
For whenever that demon saw a beautiful maiden, girl, or woman, he killed her kinsmen and imprisoned her in the aerial vehicle.
एवं पन्नगकन्याश्च राक्षसासुरमानुषीः । यक्षदानवकन्याश्च विमाने सो ऽध्यरोपयत् ।। ७.२४.३ ।।
In this way he placed aboard the aerial vehicle serpent-maidens, and women belonging to demons, asuras, and humans, as well as yaksha and danava maidens.
ताश्च सर्वाः समं दुःखान्मुमुचुर्बाष्पजं जलम् । तुल्यमग्न्यर्चिषां तत्र शोकाग्निभयसम्भवम् ।। ७.२४.४ ।।
And all those women together shed tear-born water because of sorrow, equal there to the flames of a fire, arisen from fear of the fire of grief.
ताभिः सर्वानवद्याभिर्नदीभिरिव सागरः । आपूरितं विमानं तद्भयशोकाशिवाश्रुभिः ।। ७.२४.५ ।।
That aerial vehicle was filled by their tears, like an ocean by all the faultless rivers—tears marked by fear, grief, and distress. The transmitted compound “tadbhayashokāśivāśrubhiḥ” is difficult to parse exactly; it certainly conveys tears associated with fear, sorrow, and calamity or distress.
