ततो रामः क्रुधाविष्टो भूयस्तैः शवरैः सह । पुलिन्दैर्मेदकैश्चैव क्षत्रियांताय निर्ययौ
tato rāmaḥ krudhāviṣṭo bhūyastaiḥ śavaraiḥ saha | pulindairmedakaiścaiva kṣatriyāṃtāya niryayau
তেতিয়া ৰাম ক্ৰোধে আৱিষ্ট হৈ, সেই শবৰসকলৰ সৈতে, আৰু পুলিন্দ আৰু মেদকসকলকো লগ লৈ, ক্ষত্ৰিয়বিনাশৰ উদ্দেশ্যে পুনৰ যাত্ৰা কৰিলে।
