yan na śakyaṁ suraiḥ sarvair asurair vā mahābalaiḥ | moktuṁ tad bandhanaṁ ghoraṁ yakṣagandharvakinnaraiḥ | tan na jāne prabhāvair vā māyayā mohanena vā | śarabandhād vimuktau tau bhrātarau rāmalakṣmaṇau |
Ikatan ngeri itu—yang tidak mampu dileraikan oleh sekalian dewa, mahupun para asura yang perkasa, juga Yaksha, Gandharva dan Kinnara—namun telah terlepas daripada kedua-dua saudara Rama dan Lakshmana daripada belenggu anak panah. Aku tidak mengetahui sama ada kerana prabhava (kuasa hakiki) mereka atau kerana maya yang mengelirukan.
"That formidable bond which could not be undone by Devatas, mighty Demons, Yakshas, Gandharvas, and Kinnaras got released by both the brothers, Rama and Lakshmana by their powers and conjuring tricks which are not known to me."
