اے راغھو! جب اَنگَد، دْوِوِد، مَیند، جامبوان، پَنَس، اَنَل اور نیل—جو لشکر کے سیناپتی ہیں—یہاں موجود ہیں، تو پھر باقی فوج کی تمہیں کیا حاجت؟ یہ سب چھلانگیں لگاتے ہوئے راون کی عظیم پُری تک جا پہنچیں گے، اور اس کے پہاڑوں اور جنگلوں کی رکاوٹیں، خندقیں اور دروازوں کے محراب، فصیلیں اور عمارتیں توڑ کر اندر گھس جائیں گے۔
"Raghava! What do we have to do with the rest of the army when Angada, Dwivida, Mainda, Jambavan, Panasa, Nala and the chief of the army Nila are there? Reaching Ravana's city by leaping over the mountains and demolishing the outer gates, other boundaries, archways and other buildings they will get into Lanka city."
