When through the stupefaction of his innerself, he could not discharge any weapon, or draw his bow, or put forth his prowess, (Rāma) did not persist in smiting him. And the shafts and various arms discharged by him betokened his death; and his last moments were present. And his charioteer, driving his car, perceiving this, calmly took the car away from the field of fight.
यदा च शस्त्रं नारेभे न चकर्ष शरासनम्। नास्य प्रत्यकरोद्वीयं विक्लवेनान्तरात्मना ॥ क्षिप्ताश्चाशु शरास्तेन शस्त्राणि विविधानि च। मरणार्थाय वर्तन्ते मृत्युकालोऽभ्यवर्तत ॥ सूतस्तु रथनेतास्य तदवस्थं निरीक्ष्य तम्। शनैर्युद्धादसंभ्रान्तो रथं तस्यापवाहयत्॥
