Devanagari script

लक्ष्मण: क्षत्रदेवेन विमर्दमकरोद्‌ भृशम्‌ | यथा विष्णु: पुरा राजन्‌ हिरण्याक्षेण संयुगे,राजन! जैसे पूर्वकालमें भगवान्‌ विष्णु हिरण्याक्षके साथ युद्ध करते थे, उसी प्रकार उस रफणक्षेत्रमें लक्ष्मण क्षत्रदेवके साथ भारी संग्राम कर रहा था

Transliteration

sañjaya uvāca | lakṣmaṇaḥ kṣatradevena vimardam akarod bhṛśam | yathā viṣṇuḥ purā rājan hiraṇyākṣeṇa saṃyuge ||

Translation

Sañjaya said: Lakshmana fought fiercely with Kshatradeva. O King, just as Lord Vishnu once battled Hiranyaksha in ancient times, so too did Lakshmana engage in a tremendous clash on that battlefield—an image meant to convey overwhelming valor and the terrifying intensity of war.
