You have slain the monarch of vultures, who had grown decrepit through age.* You have carried off the large-eyed Sītā from the vicinity of Räma and the neighbourhood of Lakṣmaṇa; but, having captured her, you understand not (your native strength). Nor did you understand that foremost of Raghus, high-souled, possessed of great strength, and incapable of being repressed even by the celestials, who shall take your life. *The commentator has a queer and characteristic note on farduridha-decrepit through age. One that is old, may stave off decrepitude through some drug, while a youthful person may come by the same in consequence of some curse.
अवधीस्त्वं जरावृद्धं गृध्रराजं जटायुषम्। किं न ते रामसांनिध्ये सकाशे लक्ष्मणस्य च। हृता सीता विशालाक्षी यां त्वं गृह्य न बुध्यसे ॥ महाबलं महात्मानं दुराधर्ष सुरैरपि। न बुध्यसे रघुश्रेष्ठं यस्ते प्राणान्हरिष्यति॥
