O du Schöngegliederte, dies ist der Ort, wo Khara erschlagen wurde, wo Dūṣaṇa fiel, und wo der große Held Triśiras unter meinen geradfliegenden Pfeilen stürzte. Dies ist die Stätte unseres Āśrama; noch ist die anmutige, schön anzusehende Laubhütte zu sehen, wo dich Rāvaṇa, der Herr der Rākṣasa, mit Gewalt entführte.
"Sita, here is Janasthana, where a mighty tree is seen. Oh sportive lady! There the exceptionally strong and highly energetic vulture Jatayu got killed by Ravana on account of you."
FAQs
