Que Saumitri, avec Vibhīṣaṇa, soit promptement délivré des traits fichés en lui. Et parmi les armées des ours et des vānaras—ces héros qui combattent avec des arbres—ainsi que tous les autres qui se battent ici, blessés et transpercés de flèches : que tous soient soignés avec effort et rendus à la santé.
"Let Vibheeshana and Saumithri be treated quickly. Let all the army of Bears and others who fought with trees, and the heroes be treated. Let all others who fought in the battlefield and wounded be also healed by your effort and make them happy."
