The lord of Ayodhyā, on hearing the words of that wicked-minded one, Anaranya, enraged, addressed the Raksasa-chief, saying, 'O king of Raksasas, I will give you combat, stay you. At once prepare for fight, and I also shall go and prepare myself.'
अयोध्याधिपतिस्तस्य श्रुत्वा पापात्मनो वचः। अनरण्यस्तु संक्रुद्धो राक्षसेन्द्रमथाब्रवीत्॥ दीयते द्वन्द्वयुद्धं ते राक्षसाधिपते मया। संतिष्ठ क्षिप्रमायत्तो भव चैवं भवाम्यहम्॥
