Sekali lagi Śrī Rāma melepaskan bhalla yang keemasan dan tajam—panjang sempurna, bersayap indah, bercahaya—laksana wajra Mahendra, mengitari kusir kereta. Dengan panah yang menggelegar bagaikan petir itu, karena kelincahan beliau, Rāghava yang mulia memisahkan kepala sang kusir dari tubuhnya dengan seketika.
Then glorious Raghava with pointed bhalla furnished with beautiful plumes, splendid, deadly as Indra's thunderbolt, released and as it resounded the hit of the sword and severed the head from the body of the charioteer, who was driving in circles.
