Entering the forest with Saumitrī, Rāma gifted with prowess, killed plump high deer and stretched forth grass and twigs for offering oblation to that bird. Taking off the flesh of those high deer and clustering it, Rāma, of great renown, offered it to the vultures in that pleasant forest-land, abounding in green grass.
रामोऽपि सहसौमित्रिर्वनं गत्वा स वीर्यवान्। स्थूलान् हत्वा महारोहीननुतस्तार तं द्विजम् ॥ रोहिमांसानि चोद्धृत्य पेशीकृत्वा महायशाः। शकुनाय ददौ रामो रम्ये हरितशाद्वले॥
