Mighty Vanaras holding uprooted trees occupied everywhere and it seemed difficult for even wind to enter Lanka.

राक्षसाविस्मयंजग्मुःसहसाऽभिनिपीडिताः ।।6.41.54।। वानरैर्मेघसङ्काशैश्शक्रतुल्यपराक्रमैः ।

Caught by Vanaras like clouds and equalled Indra in valour gave way to wonder for the Rakshasas.

Thereafter with the divisions of the Vanara army moving like the ocean on the mountain peak, appeared like the roaring sound of water in the ocean moving out of boundary.

By the great sound the boundary, the archways and the mountains and forests shook violently.

Deliberating on the action to be taken to kill the Rakshasas, Raghava himself called the army and gathered them and the ministers all of them again and again discussed and took the decision. Later recalling the king's duty with Vibheeshana, summoned Vali's son Angada and spoke these words.

"O night ranger! the time has come for punishment for the sins committed by you to the sages, Devatas, so also to Gandharvas, celestial beauties, Nagas, Yakshas and the kings because of your delusion in conceit. Surely your pride about the boons begotten from the selfborn creator will be gone, said Rama.

bravīmitvāṃhitaṃvākyaṃkriyatāmaurdhvadaihikam | sudṛṣṭākriyatāṃlaṅkājīvitaṃtemayisthitam

Having addressed it in well meaning words, Rama said 'I will do you obsequies as no one will be left in Lanka to do your last rites'.

इत्युक्तःसतुतारेयोरामेणाक्लिष्टकर्मणा । जगामाकाशामाविश्यमूर्तिमानिवहव्यवाट् ।।6.41.74।।

ityuktaḥsatutāreyorāmeṇākliṣṭakarmaṇā | jagāmākāśāmāviśyamūrtimānivahavyavāṭ

Rama having spoken that way, Tara's son, Angada, who was like fire god, who was unwearied in action flew to the sky.

सोऽतिपत्यमुहूर्तेनश्रीमान्रावणमन्दिरम् । ददर्शासीनमव्यग्रंरावणंसचिवैःसह ।।6.41.75।।

so'tipatyamuhūrtenaśrīmānrāvaṇamandiram | dadarśāsīnamavyagraṃrāvaṇaṃsacivaiḥsaha

Angada landed on Ravana's palace in a moment and saw the tiger like prosperous Ravana seated with his ministers.

ततस्तस्य I विदूरेणनिपत्यसहरिपुङ्गवः । दीप्ताग्निसदृशस्तस्थावङ्गदःकनकाङ्गदः ।।6.41.76।।

tatastasya I vidūreṇanipatyasaharipuṅgavaḥ | dīptāgnisadṛśastasthāvaṅgadaḥkanakāṅgadaḥ

Thereafter, the leader of the monkeys, Angada adorned with golden armlets stood like a blazing fire at a distance.

तद्रामवचनंसर्वमन्यूनाधिकमुत्तमम् । सामात्यंश्रावयामासनिवेद्यात्मानमात्मना ।।6.41.77।।

dūto'haṃkośalendrasyarāmasyākliṣṭakarmaṇaḥ | vāliputro'ṅgadonāmayaditeśrotramāgataḥ

"I am the son of Vali,by name Angada,an envoy of Rama ,the king of Kosala of unwearied action. You may know that I have landed"

अहत्वांराघवोरामःकौसल्यानन्दवर्धनः । निष्पत्यप्रतियुध्यस्वनृशंस पुरुषोभव ।।6.41.79।।

ahatvāṃrāghavorāmaḥkausalyānandavardhanaḥ | niṣpatyapratiyudhyasvanṛśaṃsa puruṣobhava

"Raghava, the enhancer of the happiness of Kausalya speaks to you. Ruthless Rakshasa! Sallying forth, get ready for combat."

हन्तास्मित्वांसहामात्यंसपुत्रज्ञातिबान्धवम् । निरुद्विग्नास्त्रयोलोकाभविष्यन्तिहतेत्वयि ।।6.41.80।।

"You and your son's relatives and followers being killed (by me) the three worlds will be rid of fear of you."

devadānavayakṣāṇāṃgandharvoragarakṣasām | śatrumadyoddhariṣyāmitvāmṛṣīṇāṃcakaṇṭakam

"You are an enemy of the gods, Danavas and Yakshas, Gandharvas and Nagas and being a thorn in the neck of sages, I will uproot you from here."

विभीषणस्यचैश्वर्यंभविष्यतिहतेत्वयि । नचेत्सत्कृत्यवैदेहींप्रणिपत्यप्रदास्यसि ।।6.41.82।।

vibhīṣaṇasyacaiśvaryaṃbhaviṣyatihatetvayi | nacetsatkṛtyavaidehīṃpraṇipatyapradāsyasi

"Unless you return back Vaidehi respectfully, bowing down to me you will be killed and Vibheeshana will get the fortune."

इत्येवंपरुषंवाक्यंब्रुवाणेहरिपुङ्गवे । अमर्षवशमापन्नोनिशाचरगणेश्वरः ।।6.41.83।।

ityevaṃparuṣaṃvākyaṃbruvāṇeharipuṅgave | amarṣavaśamāpannoniśācaragaṇeśvaraḥ

The leader of the monkeys having spoken in that manner, Ravana the ruler of night rangers was overtaken by fury.

ततस्सरोषताम्राक्षश्शशापसचिवांन्नोस्तदा । गृह्यतामेषदुर्मेधावध्यतामितिचासकृत् ।।6.41.84।।

tatassaroṣatāmrākṣaśśaśāpasacivāṃnnostadā | gṛhyatāmeṣadurmedhāvadhyatāmiticāsakṛt

Thereafter, Ravana who was shaken by fury repeatedly commanded his ministers and said 'Let this evil minded monkey be seized and killed'.

रावणस्यवच्शुत्वादीप्ताग्निसमतेजसा । जगृहुस्तंततोघोराश्चत्वारोरजनीचराः ।।6.41.85।।

rāvaṇasyavacśutvādīptāgnisamatejasā | jagṛhustaṃtatoghorāścatvārorajanīcarāḥ

Thereafter, having heard the words of Ravana, the four Rakshasas seized Angada blazing in brilliance like fire.

ग्राहयामासतारेयस्स्वयमात्मनमात्मवान् । बलंदर्शयितुंवीरोयातुधानगणेतदा ।।6.41.86।।

grāhayāmāsatāreyassvayamātmanamātmavān | balaṃdarśayituṃvīroyātudhānagaṇetadā

Then Angada, the son of Tara, on his own wanting to exhibit his strength in the presence of the Rakshasa army allowed himself to be caught.

सतान्बाहुद्वयासक्तानादायपतगानिव । प्रासादंशैलसङ्कामुत्पपाताङ्गदस्तदा ।।6.41.87।।

satānbāhudvayāsaktānādāyapatagāniva | prāsādaṃśailasaṅkāmutpapātāṅgadastadā

Then Angada holding the Rakshasas by his arms came down like birds on the roof of the palace which stood like a mountain.

तेन्तरिक्षाद्विनिर्धूतास्तस्यवेगेनराक्षसाः । भूमौनिपतिताःसर्वेराक्षसेन्द्रस्यपश्यतः ।।6.41.88।।

tentarikṣādvinirdhūtāstasyavegenarākṣasāḥ | bhūmaunipatitāḥsarverākṣasendrasyapaśyataḥ

Crushed by that speed of Angada coming down as if from the sky all the Rakshasas fell down on the ground while the Rakshasa king looked on.

ततःप्रासादशिखरंशैलशृङ्गमिवोन्नतम् । ददर्शराक्षसेन्द्रस्यवालिपुत्रःप्रतापवान् ।।6.41.89।।

tataḥprāsādaśikharaṃśailaśṛṅgamivonnatam | dadarśarākṣasendrasyavāliputraḥpratāpavān

Then as the courageous Vali's son landed on the high peak of the palace which resembled a mountain peak, Ravana stood looking.

तत्पफालपदाक्रान्तंदशग्रीवस्यपश्यतः । पुराहिमवतश्शृङ्गंवज्रिणेवविदारितम् ।।6.41.90।।

tatpaphālapadākrāntaṃdaśagrīvasyapaśyataḥ | purāhimavataśśṛṅgaṃvajriṇevavidāritam

As Ravana was looking, Angada trampling his feet gave way to the palace just as Himalayan peak broke to hit Indra.

भङ् क्त्वाप्रासादशिखरंनामविश्राव्यचात्मनः । विनद्यसुमहानादमुत्पपातविहायसम् ।।6.41.91।।

bhaṅ ktvāprāsādaśikharaṃnāmaviśrāvyacātmanaḥ | vinadyasumahānādamutpapātavihāyasam

Hitting on the peak of the palace, Angada declaring his own name emitting loud sound rose up to the sky.

व्यथयन्राक्षसान्सर्वान्हर्षयंश्चापिवानरान् । सवानराणांमध्येतुरामपार्श्वमुपागतः ।।6.41.92।।

vyathayanrākṣasānsarvānharṣayaṃścāpivānarān | savānarāṇāṃmadhyeturāmapārśvamupāgataḥ

Angada caused pain to the Rakshasas and delighted the monkeys and returned to the midst of Vanaras near Rama.

रावणस्तुपरंचक्रेक्रोधंप्रासादधर्षणात् । विनाशंचात्मनःपश्यन्निश्श्वासपरमोऽभवत् ।।6.41.93।।

rāvaṇastuparaṃcakrekrodhaṃprāsādadharṣaṇāt | vināśaṃcātmanaḥpaśyanniśśvāsaparamo'bhavat

Ravana exhibiting extreme anger at the shattering of his palace and seeing his destruction started sighing heavily.

रामस्तुबहुभिर्हृष्टर्निनदद्भिःप्लवङ्गमैः । वृतोरिपुवधाकाङ्क्षीयुद्धायैवाभ्यवर्तत ।।6.41.94।।

rāmastubahubhirhṛṣṭarninadadbhiḥplavaṅgamaiḥ | vṛtoripuvadhākāṅkṣīyuddhāyaivābhyavartata

Delighted by the roaring sound of many monkeys Rama awaited surrounded by groups of monkeys desirous of starting war.

सुषेणस्तुमहावीर्योगिरिकूटोपमोहरिः । बहुभिःसम्वृतस्तत्रवानरैःकामरूपिभिः ।।6.41.95।।

suṣeṇastumahāvīryogirikūṭopamohariḥ | bahubhiḥsamvṛtastatravānaraiḥkāmarūpibhiḥ

Sushena of great prowess, who resembled a mountain in form stood there surrounded by many Vanaras who could change their form at their will.

सचतुर्द्वाराणिसर्वाणिसुग्रीववचनात्कपिः । पर्यक्रामतदुर्धर्षोनक्षत्राणीवचन्द्रमाः ।।6.41.96।।

sacaturdvārāṇisarvāṇisugrīvavacanātkapiḥ | paryakrāmatadurdharṣonakṣatrāṇīvacandramāḥ

Sushena, a monkey who is difficult to encounter, went around all the four gates just like the moon goes around stars by the order of Sugriva.

तेषामक्षौहिणिशतंसमवेक्ष्यवनौकसाम् । लङ्कामुपनिविष्टानांसागरंचानिवर्तताम् ।।6.41.97।। राक्षसाविस्मयंजग्मुस्त्रासंजग्मुस्तथापरे । अपरेसमरोध्धर्षाद्धर्षमेवप्रपेदिरे ।।6.41.98।।

Seeing the large army of a hundred Akshauhinis of monkeys staying near Lanka spreading beyond the sea waiting for war the Rakshasas were wonder struck, some feared, some were alarmed to witness the jubilant Vanaras who exhibited joy alone.

तेषामक्षौहिणिशतंसमवेक्ष्यवनौकसाम् । लङ्कामुपनिविष्टानांसागरंचानिवर्तताम् ।।6.41.97।। राक्षसाविस्मयंजग्मुस्त्रासंजग्मुस्तथापरे । अपरेसमरोध्धर्षाद्धर्षमेवप्रपेदिरे ।।6.41.98।।

teṣāmakṣauhiṇiśataṃsamavekṣyavanaukasām | laṅkāmupaniviṣṭānāṃsāgaraṃcānivartatām rākṣasāvismayaṃjagmustrāsaṃjagmustathāpare | aparesamarodhdharṣāddharṣamevaprapedire

Seeing the large army of a hundred Akshauhinis of monkeys staying near Lanka spreading beyond the sea waiting for war the Rakshasas were wonder struck, some feared, some were alarmed to witness the jubilant Vanaras who exhibited joy alone.

कृत्स्नंहिकपिभिर्व्याप्तंप्राकारपरिखान्तरम् । ददृशूराक्षसादीनाःप्राकारंनानरीकृतम् ।।6.41.99।। हाहाकारंप्रकुर्वन्तिराक्षसाभयमोहिताः ।

kṛtsnaṃhikapibhirvyāptaṃprākāraparikhāntaram | dadṛśūrākṣasādīnāḥprākāraṃnānarīkṛtam hāhākāraṃprakurvantirākṣasābhayamohitāḥ |

The Rakshasas were desperate to see the spread of monkeys over the entire area from the boundary to moat of Lanka. The way the space between was filled with Vanaras seemed as though the Vanaras converted into boundaries. Rakshasas were seen making a loud noise.
