«Aqueles dois irmãos, Rāma e Lakṣmaṇa, que Indrajit prendeu em combate com um laço de flechas, tornando-lhes os braços imóveis, agora são vistos libertos no campo de batalha. Como elefantes que romperam suas amarras, erguem-se com o vigor de senhores elefantes.»
"The two brothers, Rama and Lakshmana, who are like powerful elephants have been set free from the bondage of arrows of Indrajith in the battlefield. Their shoulders are relieved and are like elephants snapped off the rope binding them."
