इरावानपि संक्रुद्धस्त्वरमाण: पराक्रमी । हन्तुकामममित्रघ्नो राक्षसं प्रत्यवारयत्
sañjaya uvāca | irāvān api saṅkruddhas tvaramāṇaḥ parākrāmī | hantukāmam amitraghno rākṣasaṃ pratyavārayat ||
ສັນຊະຍະກ່າວວ່າ: ອີຣາວານເອງກໍໂກດເກຣີຍວ ແລະໄວວ່ອງໄວ ເປັນນັກຮົບກ້າຫານ ຜູ້ທໍາລາຍສັດຕູ; ເຂົາໄດ້ຮີບຮ້ອນຂັດຂວາງຣາກຊະສະນັ້ນ ຜູ້ມີໃຈຈະສັງຫານເຂົາ.

Sanjaya reports that Iravan, angered and acting swiftly, blocks and repels a rākṣasa who is rushing in with the intention to kill him.
