The highly powerful Rāma, consecrating in accordance with the mantras laid down in the Vedas, that huge shaft-the foremost of all in the world, removing the fear of the Ikşvaku race, destroying the fame of the enemies and conduction to the joy of its own party, set it on his bow.
तमुत्तमेषु लोकानामिक्ष्वाकुभयनाशनम्। द्विषतां कीर्तिहरणं प्रहर्षकरमात्मनः॥ अभिमन्त्र्य ततो रामस्तं महेषु महाबलः। वेदप्रोक्तेन विधिना संदधे कार्मुके बली॥
