—e por elas caiu Virādha no bosque de Krauñca, e Kabandha na floresta de Daṇḍaka; por elas se despedaçaram as árvores Sāla e até as montanhas; por elas Vālī foi abatido e o oceano se fez revolto—
'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?'
