लक्ष्मणक्रोधः सुग्रीवप्रबोधनं च
Lakshmana’s Wrath and the Summoning of Sugriva
ततश्शुभमतिः प्राज्ञो भ्रातुः प्रियहिते रतः।लक्ष्मणः प्रतिसंरब्धो जगाम भवनं कपेः।।शक्रबाणासनप्रख्यं धनुः कालान्तकोपमः।प्रगृह्य गिरिशृङ्गाभं मन्दरः सानुमानिव।।।।
tataḥ śubha-matiḥ prājño bhrātuḥ priya-hite rataḥ |
lakṣmaṇaḥ pratisaṃrabdho jagāma bhavanaṃ kapeḥ ||
śakra-bāṇāsana-prakhyaṃ dhanuḥ kālānta-kopamaḥ |
pragṛhya giri-śṛṅgābhaṃ mandaraḥ sānumān iva ||
Alors le sage Lakṣmaṇa, au dessein pur et voué au bien de son frère, se rendit, le cœur tendu de résolution, vers la demeure du roi des singes. Saisissant un arc pareil à celui d’Indra, redoutable comme la colère de l’ultime heure, et se dressant tel un sommet—tel le Mandara avec ses pentes—il s’avança.
The noble-hearted, benevolent and wise Lakshmana, eager to please Rama, picked up his bow looking like a mountain peak, comparable to the bow of Indra and agitated with the anger of the god of Death entered the mansion of Sugriva which stood like the mountain peak of Mandara.
