Demikian pula Lakṣmaṇa yang berhati suci dan bijaksana, yang selalu mengutamakan kebaikan bagi kakaknya, pergi dengan tekad menyala menuju kediaman Sugrīva. Ia mengangkat busur laksana busur Śakra (Indra), mengerikan seperti murka maut pada akhir zaman, dan menjulang seperti puncak gunung—bagai Mandara dengan lerengnya—lalu melangkah maju.
The noblehearted, benevolent and wise Lakshmana, eager to please Rama, picked up his bow looking like a mountain peak, comparable to the bow of Indra and agitated with the anger of the god of Death entered the mansion of Sugriva which stood like the mountain peak of Mandara.
