tam eva hatvā sabalaṁ sabāndhavaṁ virāvaṇaṁ rāvaṇam agryapauruṣam | svarlokam āgaccha gatajvaraś ciraṁ surendragुप्तaṁ gatadoṣakalmaṣam || 1.15.33 ||
उस रावण को मारो जो सबको रोता है। उसकी सेना और उसके अपने सब को खत्म करो। फिर स्वर्ग वापस जाओ, बड़ा दिन तक दुख से आज़ाद। इंद्र तुम्हारा ख्याल रखेगा, और तुम साफ़ हो पाप से।
