Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 64
रामेण निहतो युद्धे बहुवानरभक्षकः । अमावास्यादिने शोकाऽभ्यवहारो बभूव ह
rāmeṇa nihato yuddhe bahuvānarabhakṣakaḥ | amāvāsyādine śokā'bhyavahāro babhūva ha
Na batalha, Rāma abateu aquele que devorava muitos vānara. No dia de amāvasyā, houve alimento tomado apenas por tristeza — uma refeição marcada pelo luto.
Sūta (deduced; not explicit in snippet)
Scene: Rāma stands after slaying the monkey-devourer; the battlefield quiets. On amāvāsyā, Laṅkā’s rākṣasas eat in grief—faces downcast, lamps dim, moonless sky heavy.
