अथ ते राक्षसास्तेन शप्ताः प्रोचुः सुदुःखिताः । कुरु शापस्य मोक्षं नः सर्वेषां राक्षसेश्वर
atha te rākṣasāstena śaptāḥ procuḥ suduḥkhitāḥ | kuru śāpasya mokṣaṃ naḥ sarveṣāṃ rākṣaseśvara
Da sprachen jene Rākṣasas, von ihm verflucht und von großem Kummer gequält: „O Herr der Rākṣasas, gewähre uns allen die Befreiung von diesem Fluch!“
Cursed Rākṣasas (addressing Vibhīṣaṇa as rākṣaseśvara)
Scene: A group of rākṣasas, visibly afflicted, approach their lord with folded hands, pleading for release from a curse; their faces show remorse and fear.
Wrongdoing brings binding consequences (śāpa), and suffering can turn beings toward seeking correction and release.
The episode sits within the Rāmeśvara tīrthamāhātmya frame in Nāgarakhaṇḍa.
No explicit rite is stated; the theme is śāpa-mokṣa (release from a curse), usually resolved through divine grace and dharmic action.
