梵天のごとく輝く大いなるラーマに、ヴィシュヴァーミトラは、ティミドヴァジャの子でダーナヴァの主スバーフを戦いで討ち取るのを見届けてのち、天なる神聖の武器を授けた。その恐れなき英雄は、自らの力に支えられ、森に住みながらも、まるで宮殿にいるかのように暮らすであろう。
To the mighty, heroic Rama, that best of men, Brahmalike Viswamitra has bequeathed many divine weapons, seeing him slay Timidhwaja's son (Subahu), lord of demons, in the battle. He will stay fearless in the forest, relying on the strength of his own arms as though he were living in the palace.
