O hero, even as Vişnu rescued Kausikī from the nether regions, (According to Kataka, Kausikī is Earth, who was rescued by Narāyaṇa from the subterranean regions. According to Tīrtha, Kausikī is Indra's Auspiciousness, who on the occasion of the destruction of the Asura, Vritrā, took refuge in the nether regions, and was brought back by Vişņu) it behove you to rescue me, who have ignominiously been confined by the impious Rāvana,
रावणेनोपरुद्धां मां निकृत्या पापकर्मणा। त्रातुमर्हसि वीर त्वं पातालादिव कौशिकीम्॥
