Pagkaraan, ang marunong at may mabuting layon na si Lakṣmaṇa, tapat sa kapakanan ng kaniyang kapatid, ay nagpunta—puspos ng matibay na pasiya—sa tahanan ng haring unggoy. Hawak niya ang busog na tulad ng kay Indra, kakila-kilabot gaya ng poot sa wakas ng kamatayan, at taas-bundok na wari’y tuktok ng bundok—gaya ng Mandara na may mga gulod—siya’y sumulong.
The noble-hearted, benevolent and wise Lakshmana, eager to please Rama, picked up his bow looking like a mountain peak, comparable to the bow of Indra and agitated with the anger of the god of Death entered the mansion of Sugriva which stood like the mountain peak of Mandara.
