krauñcāvane virādhas tu kabandho daṇḍake vane |
yaiḥ sālāgirayo bhagnā vālī ca kṣubhito 'mbudhiḥ ||
—dengan anak panah itulah Virādha rebah di rimba Krauñca, dan Kabandha tumbang di hutan Daṇḍaka; dengannya pohon-pohon Sāla bahkan gunung-ganang pun pecah; dengannya Vālī ditewaskan dan samudera bergelora—
'Earlier, by my arrows, Maricha was killed, Dushana and Khara were killed, Kabhanda was killed in Krauncha forest, Virada was killed in Dandaka forest. By which arrows Sala trees were cut off, mountain was broken, ocean was agitated, and Vali was killed, are wasted with Ravana, who is less brilliant in war. What is the reason?'
