50 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे अरण्यकाण्डे एकत्रिंशः सर्गः ॥३-३१॥ त्वरमाणस्ततो गत्वा जनस्थानादकम्पनः। प्रविश्य लङ्कां वेगेन रावणं वाक्यमब्रवीत्॥ १॥
In the glorious Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Araṇyakāṇḍa, the thirty-first canto/chapter. Then Akampana, hurrying, having gone from Janasthāna, entering Laṅkā swiftly, spoke words to Rāvaṇa.
जनस्थानस्थिता राजन् राक्षसा बहवो हताः। खरश्च निहतः संख्ये कथंचिदहमागतः॥ २॥
O King, many of the rākṣasas stationed in Janasthāna have been slain, and Khara too has been killed in battle. Somehow I have managed to come here.
एवमुक्तो दशग्रीवः क्रुद्धः संरक्तलोचनः। अकम्पनमुवाचेदं निर्दहन्निव तेजसा॥ ३॥
Thus addressed, the ten-necked Ravana, enraged and with eyes reddened, said this to Akampana, as though scorching him with his radiance.
केन भीमं जनस्थानं हतं मम परासुना। को हि सर्वेषु लोकेषु गतिं नाधिगमिष्यति॥ ४॥
By whom was the dreadful Janasthana slain with my battle-axe? Who indeed in all the worlds will not attain a fate or end? The precise rhetorical force of “gati,” “fate, end, or destination,” is not fully explicit in the transmitted wording; conditionally, it may mean “Who in all the worlds could escape his fate?”
न हि मे विप्रियं कृत्वा शक्यं मघवता सुखम्। प्राप्तुं वैश्रवणेनापि न यमेन च विष्णुना॥ ५॥
Having done what is displeasing to me, it is not possible for Maghavat to obtain happiness, nor even for Vaiśravaṇa, nor for Yama, nor for Viṣṇu.
