सिद्धाश्रम
यज्ञरक्षणम् · Protection of Viśvāmitra’s Sacrifice at Siddhāśrama
स हत्वा राक्षसान् सर्वान् यज्ञघ्नान् रघुनन्दनः ।
ऋषिभिः पूजितस्तत्र यथेन्द्रो विजये पुरा ॥२३॥
sa hatvā rākṣasān sarvān yajñaghnān raghunandanaḥ |
ṛṣibhiḥ pūjitas tatra yathendro vijaye purā ||23||
रघुनंदन ने सब राक्षस मार दिए। वो लोग यज्ञ खराब कर रहे थे। रिशि लोगों ने वहाँ उसकी तारीफ की। जैसे पुराने टाइम में इंद्र जीता था तो लोग करते थे।
Having killed the rakshasas, obstructors of sacrifices, Rama was worshipped by the hermits like Indra was honoured in the past when he was victorious.
