तरह मारा जा रहा है जिस प्रकार कि बहुत-से दुष्ट पतंगे किसी साँपको मारते हैं ।।२६१-२६२।। मैं शक्तिहीन था और राजाको वहाँ देख भयसे पीड़ित हो गया इसलिए यह दारुण वृत्तान्त आपसे कहनेके लिए दौड़ा आया हूँ ॥२६३।। यह समाचार सुनते ही रावण क्रोधको प्राप्त हुआ और वेगशाली वाहनपर सवार हो यज्ञभूमिमें जानेके लिए तत्पर हुआ ॥२६४॥ वायुके समान जिनका वेग था, जो म्यानोंसे निकली हुई नंगी तलवारें हाथमें लिये थे और सू-सू शब्दसे सुशोभित थे ऐसे रावणके सिपाही पहले ही चल दिये थे ॥२६५।। वे पल-भरमें यज्ञभूमिमें जा पहुँचे । वहाँ जाकर उन दयालु पुरुषोंने दृष्टिमात्रसे नारदको शत्रुरूपी पिंजड़ेसे मुक्त करा दिया ॥२६६।। क्रूर मनुष्य जिस पशुओंके झुण्डकी रक्षा कर रहे थे उसे उन्होंने आँखके इशारे मात्रसे छुड़वा दिया ।।२६७॥ यज्ञके खम्भे तोड डाले, ब्राह्मणोंको पिटाई लगायी और पशओंको बन्धनसे छोड़ दिया। इन सब कारणोंसे वहाँ बड़ा भारी कोलाहल मच गया ।।२६८॥ 'अब्रह्मण्यं' 'अब्रह्मण्यं' की रट लगानेवाले एक-एक ब्राह्मणको इतना पीटा कि जबतक वे निश्चेष्ट शरीर होकर भूमिपर गिर न पड़े तबतक पीटते ही गये ॥२६९|| रावणके योद्धाओंने उन ब्राह्मणोंसे पूछा कि जिस प्रकार आप लोगोंको दुःख अप्रिय लगता है और सुख प्रिय जान पड़ता है उसी तरह इन पशुओंको भी लगता होगा ।।२७०।। जिस प्रकार तीन लोकके समस्त जीवोंको हृदयसे अपना जीवन अच्छा लगता है उसी प्रकार इन समस्त जन्तुओंकी भी व्यवस्था जाननी चाहिए ॥२७१।। आप लोगोंको जो पिटाई लगी है उससे आप लोगोंकी यह कष्टकारी अवस्था हुई है फिर शस्त्रोंसे मारे गये पशुओंकी क्या दशा होती होगी सो आप हो कहाँ ।।२७२।। अर पापो नोच पुरुषी ! इस समय तुम्हारे पापका जा फल प्राप्त हुआ है उस सहन करो जिससे फिर ऐसा न करोगे ॥२७३।। देवोंके साथ इन्द्र भी यहाँ आ जाये तो भी हमारे स्वामीके कुपित रहते तुम लोगोंकी रक्षा नहीं हो सकती ॥२७४॥ हाथी, घोड़े, रथ, आकाश और पृथिवीपर जो भी जहाँ स्थित था वह वहींसे शस्त्रों द्वारा ब्राह्मणोंको मार रहा था ॥२७५।। १. पश्यतः सतः । २. यज्ञभूमिम् । ३. कोशबहिर्गतकृपाणाः । ४. ........भासिनः म.। ५. विमोचयन् म. । ६. दयायुक्तो म.। ७. वधाय धुता रक्षिताः पशुसंहतीः म.। ८. मोचितास्तैः म.। ९. कलकलम् । १०. विप्राः म., ब.। ११. पर्यवोच्यन्त क.। १२. युष्माकम् । १३. प्रियम् । १४. भवतां क., ख., ब, म.. १५ -जन्तूनां नियमे च व्यवस्थितिः ख. ।

The Eleventh Chapter
251
Narada saw the king being attacked by many cruel men, like a snake being killed by many wasps. 261-262
I was powerless and seeing the king there, I was terrified, so I came running to tell you this terrible news. 263
Hearing this news, Ravana was filled with anger and, mounting his swift chariot, he was eager to go to the sacrificial ground. 264
Those who were as swift as the wind, who had drawn their naked swords from their sheaths, and who were adorned with the sound of "su-su", were already on their way. 265
In the blink of an eye, they reached the sacrificial ground. There, those merciful men, with a mere glance, freed Narada from the cage of his enemies. 266
The cruel men who were protecting the herd of animals, were freed by them with a mere gesture of their eyes. 267
The sacrificial posts were broken, the Brahmanas were beaten, and the animals were released from their bonds. All this caused a great uproar. 268
Those who chanted "Abrahmanyam, Abrahmanyam" were beaten one by one until they fell to the ground, their bodies lifeless. 269
Ravana's warriors asked the Brahmanas, "Just as you find sorrow unpleasant and happiness pleasant, so too do these animals." 270
Just as all beings in the three worlds cherish their lives, so too should you understand the nature of all creatures. 271
The beating you have received has caused you this painful state. What then must be the condition of the animals who have been killed with weapons? 272
O wicked men! You have now received the fruits of your sins. Bear it, so that you will not do such things again. 273
Even if Indra himself were to come here with the gods, he would not be able to protect you while our master is angry. 274
Those who were on elephants, horses, chariots, in the sky, and on the ground, were all killing the Brahmanas with their weapons. 275
