Those heroes that have heretofore mentally entertained enmity against such a one as you, foe of deities and Daityas, heroic and valiant and unconquerable, have not been deprived by you of their lives. (There is a particle api, even, which stands in the way of this Sloka fitting in with the context.-'Even those heroes who have mentally etc'-is a lame reason why Hanumān, who had wronged Rāvana so outrageously in overt act, should be let off.) on
इत्थंविधस्यामरदैत्यशत्रोः शूरस्य वीरस्य तवाजितस्य। कुर्वन्ति वीरा मनसायलीकं प्राणैर्विमुक्ता न तु भोः पुरा ते॥
