Hendaklah Saumitri, bersama Vibhīṣaṇa, segera dibebaskan dari anak panah yang tertancap. Dan di antara bala tentara beruang dan vānaras—para pahlawan yang bertempur dengan pohon—serta siapa pun di sini yang terluka dan tertusuk panah: hendaklah mereka semua dengan sungguh-sungguh dirawat dan dipulihkan hingga sejahtera.
"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."
