Adhyathma Ramayanam - Esamskriti.com

Hearing the words of the just Suparswa,
The king of Rakshasas became contended ,
And went and sat in the main chamber of meeting,
And after discussing with his ministers,
Started for the war with great enthusiasm ,
Along with the remaining Rakshasas.
The powerful army of Rakshasas went ,
And fought with Rama and he killed all of them,
And then Ravana fought with that king,
He fought without interval and without fear ,
And then Rama shooting arrows after arrows,
Made the body of Ravana into pieces ,
And then being wounded , tired and disoriented,
Leaving out his courage the ten faced one retreated,
Thinking that this war is sufficient ,
He went back to the city of Lanka as a coward.
6.25 Ravanande Homa vignam
The stoppage of Homa of Ravana.
Ravana went and saluted sage Shukra ,
And with very dried up face told,
“The monkeys lead by the son of Sun God,
And Rama belonging to the clan of the Sun,
Have come together , crossed the ocean,
Reached the city of Lanka and killed ,
All Rakshasas who are enemies of Indra ,
And today I have become all alone,
Completely filled by sorrow in my mind,
Oh good teacher , Oh lord, am I not your disciple.
To the very intelligent Ravana ,
The great sage Shukra who was thus requested,
Advised “if so you have to please the devas ,
You construct a cave with great speed,
And sit In a very secret place and conduct a Homa,
For getting your enemies defeated ,
And if you do so, victory would come to you.”
