## The Fiftieth Chapter
1. Behold, the moon-like Ravana, adorned with the celestial garland of knowledge, is veiled by the clouds of his desires for other women. (16)
2. He who possesses eighteen thousand wives, all living in comfort, is now consumed by grief for a single Sita. (17)
3. Who will be destroyed, the Rakshasas or the Vanaras? This doubt lingered in the minds of both armies. (18)
4. On the side of the Vanaras, there is Maruti, fierce as the god of love, his valor blazing like the sun, a vanquisher of Indra. (19)
5. Some said, "Ravana's army is vast as the ocean, extremely powerful, and comparable to the army of the Daityas." (20)
6. Have you never known the difference between a hero and a coward? Have you forgotten the past? Do you not recognize a valiant man? (21)
7. Remember the fierce battle in the heart of the great Dandaka forest, where Lakshmana, the valiant one, encountered the son of Chandra, Viradha, who was equal to him in strength. (22)
8. Lakshmana, with his unmatched prowess, the abode of Lakshmi, vanquished Viradha and sent him to Yama's abode. (23)
9. Do you not know the unparalleled strength of Lakshmana, whose chest is the abode of Lakshmi? (24)
10. Alone, the son of the wind, Hanuman, calmed Mandodari, comforted Sita, and defeated Ravana's formidable army. He shattered Lanka, its gates and ramparts broken. (25-26)
11. Hearing these words of truth from the wise, the proud Sumakha, the Rakshasa, laughed and spoke. (27)
12. He said, "Where is this army of the Vanaras, insignificant as the hoof of a cow? And where is this vast and powerful army of the dwellers of Trikuta, like the ocean itself?" (28)
13. Ravana, the lord of the Vidyadharas, who could not be subdued even by Indra, how can he be conquered by a single archer? (29)
14. Who can even utter the name of Ravana, the half-chakravarti, who stands above all the glorious beings? (30)
