शक्त्याविनिहतंदृष्टवारावणेनबलीयसा ।लक्ष्मणंसमरेशूरंरूधिरौघपरिप्लुतम् ।।।।स दत्त्वातुमुलंयुद्धंरावणस्यदुरात्मनः ।विसृजन्नेवबाणौघान् सुषेणमिदमब्रवीत् ।।।।
śaktyā vinihataṃ dṛṣṭvā rāvaṇena balīyasā | lakṣmaṇaṃ samare śūraṃ rudhiraughapariplutam ||
sa dattvā tumulaṃ yuddhaṃ rāvaṇasya durātmanaḥ | visṛjann eva bāṇaughān suṣeṇam idam abravīt ||
Als Rāma sah, wie der heldenhafte Lakṣmaṇa im Kampf von der Lanze des überaus mächtigen Rāvaṇa niedergestreckt wurde und in Blutströmen lag, führte er dennoch die tobende Schlacht gegen den bösgesinnten Rāvaṇa fort—während er weiterhin Pfeilsalven entsandte—und sprach dann diese Worte zu Suṣeṇa.
Seeing Lakshmana struck by exceedingly mighty, evil minded Ravana's javelin and soaked in blood Rama giving intense fight by discharging arrows also spoke as follows to Sushena.
