    Aranya Kaanda - Sarga 48
    In this Sarga, Rāvaṇa boasts to Seetā about his accomplishments, such as defeating Kubēra and snatching his air car named Pushpaka. He tells her how even wind blows softly and rivers become still when he is around. He demeans Rāma by saying that Rāma was thrown out of the kingdom because he was a weakling and Rāma would not count even as much as his finger in a fight. He mentions the opulence of Laṅkā once again and asks her to come and live with him in all luxury which would make her forget Rāma. He says that it is because of her sheer luck that the very lord of Rākshasas has come seeking her.
    Seetā taunts him saying that someone like him who boasts of being the brother of Kubēra should not indulge in such inappropriate behavior. She warns him that one might hope to live even abducting Ṡacee the wife of Indra, but one cannot escape by carrying off her, wife of Rāma.
    3.48.1 ஏவம் ப்ருவந்த்யாம் ஸீதாயாம்
    ஸம்ரப்த: பருஷம் வச: ।
    லலாடே ப்ருகுடிம் க்ருத்வா
    ராவண: ப்ரத்யுவாச ஹ ॥
    ēvaṃ bruvantyāṃ sītāyām
    saṃrabdhaḥ paruṣaṃ vacaḥ ।
    lalāṭē bhrukuṭiṃ kṛtvā
    rāvaṇaḥ pratyuvāca ha ॥
    When Seetā spoke thus,
    Rāvaṇa, knitting his brows in a frown,
    retorted in a harsh tone:
    3.48.2 ப்ராதா வைஸ்ரவணஸ்யாஹம்
    ஸாபத்ந்யோ வரவர்ணிநி ।
    ராவணோ நாம பத்ரம் தே

    bhrātā vaiṡravaṇasyāham
    sāpatnyō varavarṇini ।
    rāvaṇō nāma bhadraṃ tē
    daṡagrīvaḥ pratāpavān ॥
    O you of excellent complexion!
    May all bode well for you!
    I am Rāvaṇa, the step brother of Vaiṡravaṇa,
    of mighty prowess with ten necks. भद्रं ते – ‘May all bode well for you’, is a common usage, which can be said sincerely, casually or sarcastically.
    3.48.3 யஸ்ய தேவாஸ்ஸகந்தர்வா:
    பிஸாசபதகோரகா: ।
    வித்ரவந்தி பயாத்பீதா

    yasya dēvāssagandharvāḥ
    piṡācapatagōragāḥ ।
    vidravanti bhayādbhītā
    mṛtyōriva sadā prajāḥ ॥
    Dēvas, Gandharvas, Piṡācas, birds and reptiles
    flee in fear from me, like people do from death.
    3.48.4 யேந வைஸ்ரவணோ ராஜா
    த்வைமாத்ர: காரணாந்தரே ।
    த்வந்த்வமாஸாதித: க்ரோதாத்

    Enraged, I have, on a different occasion,
    subdued in a duel, with my valor,
    my step brother and king Vaiṡravaṇa.

    ஸ்வமதிஷ்டாநம்ருத்திமத் ।
    கைலாஸம் பர்வதஸ்ரேஷ்டம்
    அத்யாஸ்தே நரவாஹந: ॥

    kailāsaṃ parvataṡrēṣṭham
    adyāstē naravāhanaḥ ॥
    Distraught by his fear for me,
    Kubēra abandoned his position of riches
    and took to Kailāsa, the best of the mountains.
    3.48.6 யஸ்ய தத்புஷ்பகம் நாம
    விமாநம் காமகம் ஸுபம் ।
    வீர்யாதேவார்ஜிதம் பத்ரே

    vīryādēvārjitaṃ bhadrē
    yēna yāmi vihāyasam ॥
    My dear! I snatched, by my sheer valor,
    his aerial car known as Pushpaka,
    the beautiful vehicle that moves wherever one desires,
    which I use to traverse the skies.
    3.48.7 மம ஸஞ்ஜாதரோஷஸ்ய
    முகம் த்ருஷ்ட்வைவ மைதிலி ।
    வித்ரவந்தி பரித்ரஸ்தா:

    mukhaṃ dṛṣṭvaiva maithili ।
    vidravanti paritrastāḥ
    surāṡṡakrapurōgamāḥ ॥
    O Maithili! At the very hint of a frown on my face,
    Suras get scared and flee, led by Ṡakra!
    3.48.8 யத்ர திஷ்டாம்யஹம் தத்ர
    மாருதோ வாதி ஸங்கித: ।
    தீவ்ராம்ஸுஸ்ஸிஸிராம்ஸுஸ்ச

    tīvrāṃṡuṡṡiṡirāṃṡuṡca
    bhayātsampadyatē raviḥ ॥
    The wind blows cautiously wherever I am.
    The sun cools down his scorching rays fearing me.

    niṣkampapatrāstaravō
    nadyaṡca stimitōdakāḥ ।
    bhavanti yatra yatrāham
    tiṣṭhāmi vicarāmi ca ॥
    Leaves on tress do not flutter
    wherever I happen to be.
    Streams become still
    wherever I happen to go.

    My city, by name Laṅkā, which is
    on the other side of the ocean,
    teems with terrifying Rākshasas and
    rivals the city of Amarāvati of Indra
    in its splendor!

    It is crowded with elephants, horses and chariots.
    It reverberates with the sound of trumpets.
    It has trees that give fruit perennially.
    It is splendid with well populated gardens.

    Living there with me,
    Seetā, O thoughtful princess,
    you would no more think of
    women of human species.

    na smariṣyasi rāmasya
    mānuṣasya gatāyuṣaḥ ॥
    O you of excellent complexion!
    Enjoying every divine luxury
    that any human might seek,
    you would not think of Rāma,
    the mere human who is as good as dead!
    3.48.15 ஸ்தாபயித்வா ப்ரியம் புத்ரம்
    ராஜ்ஞா தஸரதேந ய: ।

    O you of wide eyes! What will you do
    with him who lost his kingdom and mind
    and who became a Tapasvi out of dejection?

    You should not dismiss
    the supreme lord of all Rākshasas,
    who, driven by his passion
    and struck by the dart of Love,
    has himself come to you.
    3.48.18 ப்ரத்யாக்யாய ஹி மாம் பீரு

    tava bhāgyēna samprāptam

    Rāma, that base human, cannot
    stand against even my finger, in a fight.
    Take what has come to you because of your
    sheer luck, O you of excellent complexion!
    3.48.20 ஏவமுக்தா து வைதேஹீ
    க்ருத்தா ஸம்ரக்தலோசநா ।

    ēvamuktā tu vaidēhī
    kruddhā saṃraktalōcanā ।
    abravītparuṣaṃ vākyam
    rahitē rākṣasādhipam ॥
    Spoken to thus, Vaidēhi became
    enraged and her eyes turned red.
    She responded bluntly to
    the lord of Rākshasas in that lonely place:
    3.48.21 கதம் வைஸ்ரவணம் தேவம்
    ஸர்வபூதநமஸ்க்ருதம் ।
    ப்ராதரம் வ்யபதிஸ்ய த்வம்

    kathaṃ vaiṡravaṇaṃ dēvam
    sarvabhūtanamaskṛtam ।
    bhrātaraṃ vyapadiṡya tvam
    aṡubhaṃ kartumicchasi ॥
    How can you think of doing
    something so inappropriate,
    while boasting of being
    the brother of Vaiṡravaṇa,
    who is well-regarded by all beings?
    3.48.22 அவஸ்யம் விநஸிஷ்யந்தி
    ஸர்வே ராவண ராக்ஷஸா: ।
    யேஷாம் த்வம் கர்கஸோ ராஜா

    sarvē rāvaṇa rākṣasāḥ ।
    yēṣāṃ tvaṃ karkaṡō rājā
    durbuddhirajitēndriyaḥ ॥
    O Rāvaṇa! With a wicked and cruel king like you,
    who has no mastery over his senses,
    all the Rākshasas are going to perish, for sure.
    3.48.23 அபஹ்ருத்ய ஸசீம் பார்யாம்
    ஸக்யமிந்த்ரஸ்ய ஜீவிதும் ।
    ந ச ராமஸ்ய பார்யாம் மாம்

    ṡakyamindrasya jīvitum ।
    na ca rāmasya bhāryāṃ mām
    apanīyāsti jīvitam ॥
    One might be able to stay alive
    even after abducting Ṡacee, the wife of Indra;
    but for one who carries me off, the wife of Rāma,
    there is no life any more.
    3.48.24 ஜீவேச்சிரம் வஜ்ரதரஸ்ய ஹஸ்தாத்
    ஸசீம் ப்ரத்ருஷ்யாப்ரதிரூபரூபாம் ।
    ந மாத்ருஸீம் ராக்ஷஸ தூஷயித்வா।
    பீதாம்ருதஸ்யாபி தவாஸ்தி மோக்ஷ: ॥
    jīvēcciraṃ vajradharasya hastāt
    ṡacīṃ pradhṛṣyāpratirūparūpām ।
    na mādṛṡīṃ rākṣasa dūṣayitvā।
    pītāmṛtasyāpi tavāsti mōkṣaḥ ॥
    O Rākshasa! One might perchance live long,
    wresting off Ṡacee, the unparalleled beauty
    from the hands of the wielder of Vajra,
    but by slighting one like me,
    you cannot escape, even if you drink Amrita!
    இத்யார்ஷே வால்மீகீயே
    ஸ்ரீமத்ராமாயணே ஆதிகாவ்யே
    அரண்யகாண்டே அஷ்டசத்வாரிம்ஸஸ்ஸர்க: ॥
    ityārṣē vālmīkīyē
    ṡrīmadrāmāyaṇē ādikāvyē
    araṇyakāṇḍē aṣṭacatvāriṃṡassargaḥ ॥
    Thus concludes the forty eighth Sarga
    in Araṇya Kāṇḍa of the glorious Rāmāyaṇa,
    the first ever poem of humankind,
    composed by Maharshi Vālmeeki.
