Rama  Ravana   Yudham

6.26 Rama Ravana   Yudham

The battle between Rama   and Ravana.

Itham paranju   yudhathinnu orumpettu  ,

Badhamodham   purapettithu   Ravanan,

Moola baladhikal   sangrathinnu   thalkale,

Purpettu vannithu   bhoothale  ,

Lankadhipannu sahayamai vegena  ,

SAnkhyayillatha    chathuranga   senayum,

Pathu   padanayakarum    onnichu  ,

Pathu kazhuthane  koopi purapettar  .

Saying  like this  Ravana started for the   war,

Along with great   happiness  ,

His main army   called  “Moola bala(basic strength) ”, started   for the war  ,

Immediately and came  down to earth,

Speedily an army   of four  regiments  ,

With an innumerable    strength  ,

Along with ten commanders,

Started   after  saluting   that ten necked one.

Varidhi ppole  parannu  varunnathu  ,

Maruthi  mumbaam   kapikal   kandu yethrayum,

Bheethi muzhuthu   vangeedunnathu   kandu  ,

Neethimanakiya   Ramanum chollinaan,

“Vanara   veerare  , ningal ivarodu,

Manam nadichu   chennu  yelkarutharume  ,

Jnan ivarodu  por cheythu odukeeduvan,

AAnandamulkondu  kandu kolga yevarum.”

Seeing  the army which spread like an ocean,

The monkeys    including   Hanuman ,

Became terribly afraid   and seeing  them,

Retreating  , the just Rama   told them,

“Monkey warriors  , Assuming 

Self respect   do not fight   with them.

I will fight   and   kill all of them,

And you please   see it with joy.”

Yennarul   cheythu   nisachara senayil,

Chennu  chaadeedinaan   anekanaam easwaran,

Chapa   banangalum  kai kondu  Raghavan,

Kopena bana jalangal thoogeedinaan,

Yethra  nisacharaundu   vannethathu,

Yingathra    ramanmar mundennathu  ppole  ,

Rama  mayamai    chamanjithu   sangrama,

Bhoomi yenthoru    vaibhavam anneram.

After   saying that   that  god with many forms,

Went  and jumped   on the army of Rakshasas,

Along with   bow    and arrows    that Rama,

With great   anger     showered  magic of arrows.

It appeared   as if there    was one Rama  ,

For every Rakshasa   in the battle field,

And the battle field   was filled  with Rama,

What a great celebration at    that time.

“Yennodu thanne   porunnithu  Raghavan”

Yennu   thonni  Rajanicharkokkave  ,

Dwadasa  nazhiga neram   oru pole  ,

Yathu  dhaanaa  valiyodu  Raghuthaman,

Asthram varshicha  neram aarkkum thathra,

Chithe thirichariyayathillethume

For   each Rakshasa   warrior  it appeared,

“Raghava    is fighting   only with me”,

And   for  about five hours   the lord of Raghu clan,

Rained   arrows     at the   crowd of Rakshasa   army  ,

And at that time  nobody  could recognize  anything.

Vasar a Rathri  nisachara vanara  ,

Medhini   varidhi saila vanangalum,

Bedhamillathe   sarangal   niranjithu,

Medhooranmaaraya    Rakshasa veerarum,

Aanayum therum   kuthirayum kalalum,

Veenu marichu  miranjithu   porkkalam,

Kaliyum koolikalum   Kabandhangalum,

Kala niseediniyum   pisachangalum,

Nayum nariyum  kazhukakal   kakangal,

Peyum peruthu   bhayangaramam vannam,

Ramachapathin  mani than  ninadhavum,

Vyoma  marge   thudare thudare   kettu,

Deva Gandharwa Yaksha  , Apsaro vrundhavum,

Deva  muneendranaam Naradanum   thadhaa,

Raghavan thanne   sthuthichu  thudanginaarm,

AAkasacharikal aananda poorvakam,

Dwadasa  nazhi kondu  nisacharar,

Medini thannil veeneedinaar  okkave.

That  day night  Rakshasa  monkey  ,

Land, ocean  , mountains and forests,

Were filled with arrows   without differentiating.

The very huge    Rakshasa   warriors,

Elephants  , chariots  , horses, soldiers ,

Fell  and died and filled  the battle field.

Kali  , kooli   , headless   bodies ,

The very dark night  , ghosts ,

Dogs, foxes . hawks   crows,

Devils  increased in number  making it fearful,

And the   sound of the bell  attached to bow of Rama,

Was   being heard    again and again in the sky,

Devas, Gandharwas, Yakshas  and groups of Apasaras,

Narada    the   great    deva   sage  ,

Started praising     Raghava  ,

And those  travelers in the sky became happy  ,

And within about five hours   the Rakshasas,

 Fell    all   over the earth.

Meghathinnullil  ninnu arka bimbam pole  ,

Raghavan thanneyum   kanayithanneram,

Lakshmanan thanum   Vibheeshananum puna,

Arka thanayanum  , marutha puthranum,

Mathulla vanara    veerarum vandhichu,

CHuthum niranjithu  Raghavan anneram,

Markata   nayakanmarodu    arul cheyuthu,

“Yikkanakke   yudham aasu cheytheeduvaan,

Narayananum   Paramesanum  ozhinju,

Aarum illennu   kelppundu  jnan munname.”

Like    the sun coming   out of the clouds ,

Raghava     was    being seen  by others.

Lakshmana  ,  Vibheeshana  , son of Sun God,

Son of wind God   and other monkeys,

Saluted him  and surrounded  him ,

On all sides   and   Rama   told them at that  time,

“I have been hearing that   except ,

For Lord Narayana    and Lord Shiva  ,

There is no one   to fight war like this.”

Rakshasa   rajyam   muzhuvan   athu neram,

Rakshasa    sthreekal   muravil kootinaar,

“Thatha, sahodara  , nandana , vallabha  ,

Nadha  , nammukku  avalambanam aarayoo,

Vrudhayai   yetham   viroopamai ulloru,

Nakthancharadhipa sodhari Ramane,

Sradhicha karanam   aapathu ithokkave  ,

Vardhichu vannathu    mathilla karanam.”

In the entire   country   of Rakshasas,

At that time the Rakshasa   ladies wailed,

“Father , brother , son,  husband  ,

Lord   who is our support now,

Due to the  sister   of the king of Rakshasas,

Who is   a very ugly old    hag,

Getting   interested   in Rama  ,

All this danger   has  come and increased,

And there   is no other   reason for it.”

Soorpanakaykku   yenthu kutham   athil param,

Peperumal  allayo Dasa  kandharan,

Janakiye kothichu   aasu  kulam mudichan,

Oru  moodan,  mahapapi   Ravanan,

Ardha  prahara   mathrena  kharadhiye  ,

Yudhe vadhichathum   , vruthrari puthrane  ,

Varidhiyil  chira  ketti kadannathum,

Kandirikke   nannu  thannathu   yethrayum,

Undo  vicharam  aapthingal  undavu?

What is there  for Soorpanakha  , the mistake  ,

Is more for    the  very devilish ten headed one,

Ravana, the fool  and great sinner  longing,

For Janaki   has destroyed  the entire clan,

Inspite   of Seeing   that In about ten minutes  he killed  Khara  in war,

Made  Sugreeva the king  after killing Bali,

And immediately    sent   the monkeys,

And the acts    that  Hanuman did here,

And their  crossing    of the sea by building a bridge  ,

He did not properly evaluate   them and lead   to this danger.

Sidhamallaikil  Vibheeshanan chollinaan,

Mathanayathum   dhikkaricheedinaan,

Uthaman, nalla  viveki  Vibheshanan,

Sathya vruthan    melil nannai varum avan.

Neechan ivan   kulamokke  mudippathinnu  ,

Acharichan ithu than maranathinnum.

Vibheeshana told that  it is  improper by  Sasthras,

And the inebriated  one   did not agree  to it,

Vibheeshana who is good and very wise  ,

One who tells only truth  would     have  a good future,

And this   base one who has destroyed   his clan,

Followed what he wanted   which is leading to his death.

Nalla suthanmareyum   thambimareyum,

Kollichu  mathulla mathru janatheyum,

Yellam    anubhavicheeduvaan   pandu than,

Vallaima cheythathellam maranitho?

Brahmsamayathum   devaswamayathum  ,

Nir maryadha   madakkinaan yethavum.

He   sent for death good sons   and good brothers,

And also   troubled    good  mother  like people  ,

All for  enjoying pleasures for himself.

Did he forget all the bad things he did earlier,

Of    taking away the wealth    of 

The Brahmins    as well   as the devas?

Nattil irikkum  prajakale peedichu,

Kattilakki  chamachedinaan kasmalan,

Artham anyayena nithyam aarjikkayum,

Param guru jana doshvum undivanu,

AAreyumilla  krupayum orikkalum,

Immahapapi  cheythoru karmathinaal,

Nammeyum dukkikumaru  aakinan ivan.

He troubled all  citizens   of the country,

And that   bad one send them all to forests,

He earned    by following unjust means,

He hated   all those who are his friends,

Killed   Brahmins  and  made his own,

The wealth of all other  just people ,

And also he has sinned    against  elders,

And   he does not have   mercy at   any time,

Due to the acts    done by this great sinner  ,

He also made  all of us  filled with sorrow.

Itham  pura sthree  janathin vilapangal  ,

Nakthancharadhipan   kettu dukharthanai,

“SAthrukkale   konnu odukkuvan   innu ini,

Yudhathinnasu  purappeduka   yengil naam.”

Yennathu kettu Virupakshanum , athin,

Munne Mahodharanum , Mahaparswanum  ,

Uthara   gopurathoode  purapettu,

Sasthrangal    thoogi thudanginaar  yethavum.

 Hearing    these cries   of   the ladies of the town,

The king of the Rakshasas    became greatly sad and told,

“If so let us start  to the war   so that,

We can kill   all our    enemies.”

Hearing   that  Viroopaksha  and before him,

Mahodhara   as well as  Mahaparswa,

Came out through the northern   tower,

And started showering various    weapons.

Durnimithangal  unday  athu anadarichu,

Umnnathanaaya  Nisachara  nayakan,

Gopura vathil   purapettu ninnithu,

Chapalamenniye vanara   veerarum,

Raksasarodu   yethirthar    athu kandu,

Yetham ookodu aduthu  nisachara   veerarum.

Bad omens     happened at that time  and they,

Were disregarded    by the great leader  of Rakshasas,

And he  started   and waited near the tower gate  ,

Without any   botheration    the monkey warriors,

Opposed the Rakshasas  and seeing that ,

The Rakshasa   warriors  neared with increased vigour.

Sugreevanum  Viroopakshanum  thangalil ,

Ugramam vannam   poruthar   athu neram,

Vahanamakiya  Varana   veerane  ,

Sahasam kai kondu  Vanara   rajanum  ,

KOnnathu kandu   Viroopa vilochanan,

Chennithu valum parichayum kai kondu,

Kunnu kondu onnerinjaan  Kapi rajanum,

Nannai  ithennu  Viroopakshanum adha,

Vettinaan  vanara nayaka vakshasi  ,

Pushta kopathodu  Markata rajanum ,

Nethi mel  onnu adichan, athu kondavan,

THethennu  kala puram   pukku mevinaan.

At that   time Sugreeva  and Viroopaksha  ,

 Started   a great war  between them,

When Viroopaksha saw that his vehicle,

The elephant was killed   by the monkey king,

With great valour  , took the sword  ,

And shield    and went to fight   with Sugreeva,

And at that time   the monkey king  ,

Threw a  huge hill   him.

And then Viroopaksha thinking   that it is OK,

Cut on the head    of the monkey chief,

And with great    anger the monkey king ,

Hit Viroopaksha   on   his forehead ,

And  thus he   sent  him to  the city of death.

THeril yeri kondu aduthan Mahodharan,

Therum thakarthu   Sugreevan  avaneyum,

Mruthyu  purathinnu ayachathu  kandu  ,

Athi krudhanai   vannu  aduthan Maha parswanum,

Angadhan konnan avaneyum anneram  ,

POngum  mizhikalodu asaradhesanum,

Por  madhathodum   aduthu kapikale  ,

THamasasthram   kondu veezhthinaan oozhiyil.

Mahodhara   approached   him riding on a chariot,

Sugreeva destroyed    his chariot   and also,

Sent him    to the city   of death, and seeing that,

Mahaparswa    neared him with very great anger  ,

And Angadha   killed   him at that   time,

And Ravana staring  with protruded eyes,

And with exuberance to fight   neared the monkeys,

And using   Thamasathra   made   them fall on the ground.

Ramanum   indrasthram yeithu   thaduthithu,

Thamasathratheyum appol dasananan,

AAsuramasthram yeithan  athu vannalavu,

AAthuranmarai thasu  kapikalum,

Varana sookara   kukkuda  kroshtuka,

SArameyoraga  sairibha  vayasa.

Vanara   Simha ruru vruka   kaka  ,

Gudhranamai  varum aasurasthathmakam,

Mulgara pattasa  sakthi  paraswadha,

Gadga soola prasa banayudhangalum,

Rookshmai  vannu parannathu kandalvu,

Aagneyasthram  yeithan   manu veeranum.

Rama   then   stopped the Thamsastra  by,

Sending Indrasthra and then the ten faced one  ,

Send Aasaurasthra   and as soon as it came,

It caused  lot of pain to the monkeys,

It came  in  the  form of elephant, pig,  cock,

Fox, dog , snake  bison ,   crow,

Monkey, lion, deer , wolf , raven,

Hawk  as also weapons like , iron pestle,

Spear ,  Sakthi  , White axe  ,

Sword , trident   another spear   and   arrows,

And seeing these  things coming  in a rugged way,

The human hero sent an Agneyasthra.

Chenkanal kolligal  minnal nakshatrangal  ,

THingalum   aadhithyan  agni yennitharam,

Jyothir mayangalai  chennu  niranjalavu,

AAsuramasthravum  poi maranju balal,

Appol  mayan koduthoru   divyasthram,

Yeithu alpatharayudham kanayithanthike.

With  sticks of burning embers  and like   shining stars,

Moon  , sun as well as      fire  ,

It came greatly shining   and filled the space  ,

And   the Asureyasthra   went and disappeared.

Then    Ravana sent the divine arrow given by Maya,

And  due to its power   the Agneyasthra   disappeared.

Gandharvasthram prayogichu athineyum,

SAnthamakeedinaan manava    veranum,

Souryasthram yeithan  dasananan  anneram,

Dhairyena  Raghavan  prathyasthrameithathum,

NOoru sarangal than yeithan athu kondu udal,

Keeri murinjithu  Nakthanjarendrannum,

Lakshmanan yezhu  sarangalal  ookodu,

Thalkshane Kethu khandichu   veezhtheedinan.

The human hero  made it powerless,

By sending the Gandarvasthra,

And at that time Ravana sent the Souryasthra,

And Rama with courage  sent another  arrow ,

And cut it off  and then the enemy   of Indra,

Sent ten arrows which were equivalent to Sun,

And   wounded   the   essential parts of Rama,

That great man called  Rama  ,

Sent hundred arrows  and  with that,

The body of Ravana was   cut in several places ,

And Lakshmana     sent seven    arrows with great strength,

And at that time cut off    the flag   of Ravana.

Anju sarameithu  Suthaneyum konnu,

Chanchala heenam murichithu chapavum,

Aswangale   Gadha kondu Vibheeshanan,

THachu konnan,   athu neram Dasananan,

Appol Vibheeshanane   kollumaravan,

Kalpichu  munnam  mayan koduthoru  vel,

Kai kondu  chattuvan ongiya nerathu ,

Lakshmanan   mulpukku  banangal yeithithu  .

He sent five arrows and killed the charioteer,

And without trouble   also broke his bow,

And at that time Vibheeshana  attacked ,

And killed    his horses  with a mace  ,

 And at  that time  the ten faced   one,

Jumped on earth   and attacked  ,

Vibheeshana   using  a spear  ,

With great   anger and  Lakshmana,

Cut that   spear    with three   arrows,

And then to kill  Vibheeshana  ,

He wanted to send  the spear given by Maya ,

And at that   time   when he was trying to throw it,

Lakshmana came forward   and sent  arrows.

Nakthancharadhipan   thannudal  okkave  ,

Raktham aninju   murinju valanju udan,

Nilkkum    Dasananan kopichu chollinaan,

Lakshman thannodu  ,” Nannu  nee yethrayum,

Rakshikkil nannu   ninne punar   yennude  ,

SAkthi varunnathu  kandalumn, innoru,

SAkthanakil bhavan   khandikka   velithum.

Ravana     was standing    with his entire body,

Bathed   in blood and being harried  and   that ,

Ten faced  one   told with great anger  ,

To Lakshmana , “good,  you have   ,

Now    saved     Vibheeshana    well,

And now  again you  please  save  ,

Yourself    from the Shakthi that  I am sending,

If you are strong   please   cut this spear.”

Yennu paranju vegenas   chatteedinaan,

Chennu tharachithu   marathu Shakthiyum,

SAkthi parioppathinnarkkum  kapikalkku  ,

Sakthi poranju Raghu kula Nayakan,

TRukaikal kondu pidichu parichudan,

Ulkopamodu  murichu yerinjeedinaan.

Saying this  he speedily    threw the Shakthi,

Which went and stuck the chest   of Lakshmana,

And though he tried to stop it by arrows,

Since he was not able to  ,  he fell down scared.

Seeing that Lakshmana has   fallen due to the spear,

Rama became sad  and  being confused,

And since none of the monkeys   had strength  ,

To pull out the spear    Rama did it  ,

By his own holy hands   and ,

With great anger broke and threw it.

Mithra thanaya  Sushena , jagal prana  ,

Puthradhikal odu  arul cheythiaadaraal,

“Lakshmanan thannude  chutthu  irunnu ini,

He told   Sushena,  the son of Sun God  ,

As well as    the son of wind God  ,

“Please take care   of Lakshmana  ,

Sitting all round him,  do not be sad ,

This is not the time   to be sorry.

I am going to kill   the  Rakshasa  lord,

Please see    with an auspicious mind.

The mastery of my hands.

My killing of Bali  and speedily ,

Building a bridge  across  the sea,

Along with   Sugreeva   and others,

My killing of Rakshasas,

Are for making  killing of Ravana possible,

And now  he has   come before me.

It is not possible that in this earth,

Rama   and Ravana   both would  be there ,

I have decided to kill that  Rakshasa,

If I am born in the   clan of   the   Sun god.

As  long as the seven islands, seven oceans,

Seven mountains  ,  Sun and the moon,

Sky and earth   are existing ,

My fame   will keep on increasing  .

If I am one who is armed , without any doubt,

I would kill  Ravana   in this war and let ,

Devas , asuras  , charanas   and sages,

Watch and see  my strength.

After saying like this   he started   war ,

By sending arrows with the king of Rakshasas.

That  God of the Rakshasas     also started to send ,

 With enthusiasm    equal  number of arrows.,

At that time when Raghava   and Ravana ,

Were   exchanging arrows   similar  ,

To the torrential    rain from clouds,

All the three worlds twanged   with the sound of bow.

Sodharan veenu  kidakkunnathorthu   ullil,

AAdhi   muzhuthu   Raghu kula nayakan,

Dushtana kolvanum upayam  kandeela,

Nashtamai  vannithu  manavum manase.”

Thinking of the fact that   his brother  is lying down,

The lord of Raghu clan was  extremely worried,

And told Sushena(The doctor)   as follows,

“I do not have courage to do the war,

Instead   of living in this world   , it,

Would be better for me to die along with my brother,

I am not able to strongly hold the bow,

And   I am feeling    no strength in the body,

And  due to my mind, I am not able to stand,

My nervousness  is keeping on increasing,

I am not find the way to kill this bad one,

And in my mind  I am losing my ,  self respect.”

Yevam  arul cheytha neram Sushenanum,

Deva devan thannodu aasu cholledinaan,

“Dehathinnethum  niram pakarneela , oru,

Mohamathre  Kumaran yennu nirnayam.

Vakthra  nethramngalkku  methum  vikaramilla,

Thal  thernippol  unarum avarajan.”

When   he told like   this, Sushena,

Told the God of gods as follows,

“ there is no change in colour of the body, It is,

Definite    that   the lad    has only   swooned.

Also his neck and    eyes    are   normal,

And so after   some time he will   wake up.,”

Yennu unarthichu  anilathmajan thannodu,

Pinne niroopichu chonnan  Sushenanum,

“Munne kanakke visalya karaniyakunna,

After saying this and   after   some more thought,

Sushena   told    to the son of wind god,

“Please  bring like earlier   the  medicinal,

Plant called   Visalya   Karni.”

As soon as it was told Hanuman speedily,

Went and brought   that medicine.

Sushena  put its drops in the nose  of Lakshmana,

And he got up completely cured,

Again Hanuman took the mountain back  ,

To its original   place  and   the younger brother,

Saluted    the king and he  hugged him tightly.

“Ninnude paravasyam   kanka karanam,

Yennude  dhairyavum  poyithu   manase” ,

Yennathu kettu ura cheythu  Kumaranum,

“Onnu  thirumanassingal  undakanam,

“Seeing your  very bad    state  ,

I lost the courage  in my mind”,

Hearing    that   the Lad   told him,

“Kindly remember   in your divine mind,

That   the  promise that we have made

To   the great sages should not become  a lie ,

WE should kill this one   who troubles  the three worlds,

 And   should take    care  of the three worlds.”

Indranum mathaliyodu chonnan”Mama,

Syandhanam   kondakodukka   nee vaikathe  ,

Sri Raghavannu   hitham varumaru nee  ,

Therum thelichu kodukku   madiyathe.”

Hearing   what was told by Lakshmana , Rama  ,

Fought    with the Rakshasa  lord very  fast,

Ravana came   riding on a chariot,

And Rama opposed him in war .

From the ground  fought  the great  one of Ikshuvaku clan,

And the  Lord of the Rakshasas opposed  riding on a chariot,

And    seeing that  Rama was  in a great disadvantage,

When Narada   and others spoke about it,

Indra    was greatly perturbed ,

And told Mathali, his chariot driver  ,

“Without  any delay   take and give ,

My  chariot   to Sri Rama  and also,

Drive the chariot   to him  in a manner ,

That   is helpful    to him, without hesitation.”

Mathali   than athu kettu udan  therumai,

Bhoothalam   thannil izhinju  cholleedinaan,

“Ravananodu samarathinnu   innu jnan,

Devendra sasanayaa  vita  kondithu,

Therathil assu  kareruga  porinai,

Marutha   thulya vegena  nadathuvan, “

Yennathu kettu Radthineyum  vandhichu,

Mannavan theril ammaru  karerinaan,

Thannodu thulyani Raghavane  kkandu,

Vinnil aammaronnu nokki   dasananan.

As soon as he  heard   this,  Mathali ,

Came down on earth    and told,

“I have come here  as per the orders,

Of Devendra   to help you  in your war,

With  Ravana , please  get  in to,

The chariot    for   the war and ,

I will drive it with the speed of wind,”

Hearing that  , after  saluting the chariot  ,

That king    got    in to the   Chariot,

And seeing Rama   in equal position like   him,

Ravana    with fear  looked at the sky.

Pemazha  ppole  sarangal  thoogeedinaan,

Ramanum  Gandarwasthram   eitheedinaan,

Rakasamasthram  prayogichathu neram,

Rakshasa   rajanum  rookshamayethrayum,

Kroora  nagangalam  asthrathe  mathuvan,

Garudasthram  yeithu Raghu nadananum,

Mathali melum   Dasananan Banangal yeithu  ,

KOdiyum mrichu   kalanjithu ,

Vajikalkkum  saram yetham yethu  punar,

Ajiyum   ghoramai    vannu  Raghuvaran,

Kaikal thalarnnu   therthattil nilkkum vidhou ,

Kakikasi nandananaya Vibheeshanan,

Sokathirekam    kalarnnu  ninnedinaan,

LOkarum yetham  vishadam  kalarnnithu  ,

Kala purathinnu ayappen  iniyennu  ,

Solam  prayogichitha asaradheesanum.

Rama   showered   arrows like   a torrential rain,

And he also sent Gandarvasthra,

The  king of Rakshasas  at that time   sent  ,

The Rakshasatra  with great   force  ,

To  fight with that  arrow  producing cruel snakes,

That  son of Raghu clan sent   Garudasthra,

Ravana sent arrows and wounded  Mathali ,

He also cut off   Rama’s   flag  ,

And again sent arrows   on the horses,

And again  the war became   very fierce ,

And seeing Rama standing tired  on  the chariot ,

Vibheeshana     the son of Kaikasi ,

Stood there    with very great sorrow.

And sorrow increased  among all the world,

And that  king of Rakshasas  said  ,

I will send you to the city  of death, send the trident.

Asthrangal kondu thataporanju orthudan  ,

Vruthrari   thannude   theril irunnoru,

Sakthi   yeduthyachu   Raghunadhanum,

Pathu nurungi    veenu thathra soolavum,

Nakthancharendranude thuragangale  ,

Sasthrangal kondu  murichithu  Raghavan,

Saradhi   therum  thirichachu aarthanai,

Poril ozhichu  nirtheedinaan anneram.

Remembering that  it cannot be stopped   by arrows,

Rama took a Shakthi    from the  chariot  of  Indra,

 And sent it towards   Ravana,

And Ravana’s trident  broke in to ten pieces and fell down,

Then Rama  wounded    the  horses ,

Of the king   of Rakshasas, using arrows,

And Ravana’s charioteer   became worried ,

And  parked the chariot away   from the battle.

AAlasyamottu akannoru neram thathra ,

Poulasthyanum  soothanodu   chollinaan,

“Yenthinai kondu nee  pinthirinju balal,

Andhanai   jnan athra  durbalanakayo?

Kutalodethithaal  jnan  oruthanodu,

Odiolichavarennu  kandu bhavan?

Neeyalla  soothan yenikkini  Ramannu  ,

Nee  athi bandhavan   yennu  arinjenaham.

After   his tiredness  left him  , that,

Ravana   told his charioteer,

“Why did you ride   back forcefully.

Like a blind man,  Have  I become that  much weak,

Did you think that  I will  run away and hide,

When I   am fighting     with my enemy?

You are not my charioteer now , as  I came to know,

That    you are   a close relation of Rama.”

Yitham   niacharadheesan paranjathinnu ,

Utharam saradhi   sathwaram  chollinaan,

“Ramane  snehamundayittumalla  ,

Math swamiye   dwesham undayittumalla,

Ramanodethu  poruthu  nilkkuneram,

AAmayam  poondu thalrnnathu kandu jnan.

Sneham bhavane kurichu   yethamakayaal,

Moham akaluvolam   porkkalam vittu,

Dhoore  ninnu aalasyamellam kalanjini,

Porinnu adukkanam   yennu  kalpichathre.”

Hearing     the words   of the king of Rakshasas,

The charioteer   immediately    answered,

“Not because    I love    Rama,

And not because   I do not like my master  ,

I saw   that   you were greatly   drawn out,

When you were fighting    with Rama,

And since my love towards   you  was more,

Till your   swoon   is completely cured,

I thought you can take rest  and get  relaxed ,

And then again going     for war  .”

SArathi   than ariyenam  maha rathan-

Marude  sadavum    vajikal sadavum,

Vairikalkulla jayajaya kalavum,

Poril nimnonnatha desa viseshavum,

Yellamarinju  radham nadathunnavan,

Allo nipunanayulla   suthan prabho.”

“The Charioteer    should know  the ,

Tiredness  of their valorous masters  ,

As well as the tiredness   of  the  horses,

And the   victory   and defeat time of the enemies,

And the   ups and downs in the course of the war,

And  He should drive the chariot  knowing all,

And then only he is an expert my lord.”

Yennathu kettu   thelinjadha Ravanan,

Onnu punarnnoru   kai valayum  koduthu,

Innu ini  theru aduthasu kooteeduga,

Pinnokkam  millini  yonnu kondumedo,

Innodu  naleyodu onnu  thirinjidum,

Mannavanodulla   porennariga nee.”

Soothanum therathi vegena poottinaan ,

Krodham muzhuthangu aduthithu Ramanum,

THangalil   yetham mananju  porunnalavu,

Angum ingum nirayunnu sarangalaal.

Ravana who became clear   after hearing this,

Hugged him and gifted  a bangle to him,

“Now   you take the chariot   and join the war,

WE will not go back in any circumstance  ,

By today and tomorrow    one   thing will be clear,

In this war    with    the king, know that,.”

The charioteer   readied the chariot very fast,

And Rama with great anger neared   them,

And they fought    with each other  ,

And made the entire place   covered with arrows.
