कवचंब्रह्मदत्तंमेयदादित्यसमप्रभम् ।।।।देवासुरविमर्धेषु न भिन्नंवज्रमुष्टिभिः ।
kavacaṁ brahmadattaṁ me yad ādityasamaprabham |
devāsuravimardheṣu na bhinnaṁ vajramuṣṭibhiḥ ||
ബ്രഹ്മാവ് എനിക്ക് ദത്തമായ കവചം ഉണ്ട്; അത് ആദിത്യനെപ്പോലെ ദീപ്തമാണ്. ദേവാസുര സംഘർഷങ്ങളിൽ വജ്രമുഷ്ടിയുടെ പ്രഹാരങ്ങളാലും അത് ഒരിക്കലും ഭേദിക്കപ്പെട്ടിട്ടില്ല.
"Your son who has never been defeated in war, who won Indra, the ruler of gods, after fighting and fighting was killed by Lakshmana's arrows. He has ascended to the higher world."
