Thereupon the son of Dasharatha Rama took up in anger from the hands of (Parshu) Rama that celestials bow which destroyed the foremost of Kshatriyas. O descendant of Bharata, that greatly powerful hero stringed that bow without the least exertion and then he twanged it.
ततो जग्राह रोषेण क्षत्रियर्षभसूदनम्। रामो दाशरथिर्दिव्यं हस्ताद् रामस्य कार्मुकम्॥ धनुरारोपयामास सलील इव भारत। ज्याशब्दमकरोच्चैव स्मयमानः स वीर्यवान्॥
