O father, it does not behove you to be overcome with this excessive grief, inasmuch as, O lord of Nairtas, Indrajit yet breaths. Smite by the enemy of Indra, (Rāghava) can by no means save his life in encounter.
न तात मोहं परिगन्तुमर्हसे योन्द्रजिज्जीवति नैऋतेश। नेन्द्रारिबाणाभिहतो हि कश्चित् प्राणान्समर्थः समरेऽभिषातुम्॥
