Thereupon Råma of long arms, the enhancer of the glory of Raghu's race, enraged, set his arrow, resembling a serpent, on his bow, and cut asunder Rāvana's head wearing shinning Kundalas. And that head in the presence of the inhabitants of the three regions fell down on the earth.
ततः क्रोधान्महाबाहू रघूणां कीर्तिवर्धनः। संधाय धनुषा रामः शरमाशीविषोपमम्॥ रावणस्य शिरोऽच्छिदन्दच्छीमज्ज्वलितकुण्डलम्। तच्छिरः पतितं भूमौ दृष्टं लोकैस्त्रिभिस्तदा॥
