जिनका शरीर विवश हो गया था ऐसे लक्ष्मण वज्रसे ताड़ित पर्वतके समान पृथिवीपर गिर पड़े ॥८४॥ उन्हें भूमिपर पड़े देख कमल लोचन राम, तीव्र शोकको रोककर शत्रुका घात करनेके लिए उद्यत हुए ॥८५|| सिंहजुते रथपर बैठे एवं क्रोधसे भरे बलवान् रामने सामने जाते ही शत्रुको रथरहित कर दिया ।।८६|| जबतक वह दूसरे रथपर चढ़ता है तबतक रामने उसका धनुष तोड़ दिया। तदनन्तर वह जबतक दूसरा धनुष उठाता है तबतक उसे पुनः रथरहित कर दिया ।।८७|| रामके बाणोंसे ग्रस्त हुआ रावण इतना विह्वल हो गया कि वह न तो बाण ग्रहण करनेके लिए समर्थ था और न धनष हो ॥८८। यद्यपि रामने तीव्र बाणोंके द्वारा रावणको पृथिवीपर लिटा दिया था तथापि वह खेद-खिन्न हो पुनः दूसरे रथपर आरूढ़ हो गया ।।८९।। इस प्रकार यद्यपि रामने छह बार उसका धनुष तोड़ा तथा छह बार उसे रथरहित किया तथापि आश्चयंसे भरा रावण जीता नहीं जा सका ।।१०।। तब परम आश्चर्यको प्राप्त हुए रामने उससे कहा कि आप जब इस तरह मृत्युको प्राप्त नहीं हुए तब अल्पायुष्क नहीं हो, यह निश्चित है ॥९१॥ मैं समझता हूँ कि मेरी भुजाओंसे छोड़े हुए वेगशाली तीक्ष्णमुख बाणोंसे पहाड़ भी ढह जाते हैं फिर दूसरेकी तो बात ही क्या है ॥९२॥ इतना होनेपर भी जन्मान्तरमें संचित पुण्य कर्मने तेरी रक्षा की है। अब हे विद्याधरराज ! सुन, मैं तुझसे कुछ वचन कहता हूँ ।।२३।। संग्राममें सामने आये हुए मेरे जिस भाईको तूने शक्तिके द्वारा घायल किया है वह मरनेके सम्मुख है, यदि तू अनुमति दे तो उसका मुख देख लूँ ॥९४।। तदनन्तर जो प्रार्थना भंग करनेमें दरिद्र था और इन्द्रके समान जिसकी शोभा बढ़ रही थी ऐसा रावण ‘एवमस्तु' कहकर वैभवके साथ लंकाकी ओर चला
॥९५॥ 'यह एक महाबलवान शत्र तो मेरे द्वारा मारा गया' इस प्रकार हदयमें कुछ धैर्यको प्राप्त हुए रावणने अपने भवनमें प्रवेश किया ॥९६॥ पराक्रमी मनुष्योंके साथ स्नेह रखनेवाले धोरवीर रावणने घायल योद्धाओंकी खोज कराकर उनकी ओर प्रेमपूर्ण दृष्टिसे देखा तथा इस तरह उनका खेद दूर कर अन्तःपुरमें प्रवेश किया ॥९७|| भाई कुम्भकर्ण और युद्ध करनेवाले इन्द्रजित् तथा मेघवाहन नामक दो पुत्रोंको शत्रुके पास रुका सुन रावण शोक करने लगा परन्तु प्रियजनोंकी १. समारूढं म. । २. यतः म. । ३. यद्यनुगम्यसे म. ।

And as soon as he took another bow, Rama made him chariotless again. ||87|| Ravana, struck by the arrows of Padma-lochan, was so bewildered that he was unable to grasp either an arrow or a bow. ||88|| Though struck by sharp arrows and lying on the ground, Ravana, filled with grief, was seen again on another chariot. ||89|| Though his bow was broken and his armor was pierced, and though he was made chariotless six times, the wondrous Ravana could not be defeated. ||90|| Then, filled with wonder, Padma-lochan said to him, "You are not short-lived, for you have not yet attained the five states of existence." ||91|| "I think that even mountains would crumble under the force of the swift, sharp-pointed arrows released from my arms. What then of others?" ||92|| "Yet, you are protected by the merit accumulated in past lives. Listen, O King of the celestial beings, I will tell you something." ||93|| "My brother, who was facing you in battle, has been wounded by your power and is now facing death.
