Assailing the monkey-host, that foremost of Rākşasas espied Rāma, unconquered at distance with his brother Lakşmaņa like to Basava with Vişņu, holding a huge bow like one painted on the sky, having expansive eyes like lotus-petals, long arms, and always subduing the enemies.
ततो राक्षसशार्दूलो विद्राव्य हरिवाहिनीम्। स ददर्श ततो रामं तिष्ठन्तमपराजितम्॥ लक्ष्मणेन सह भ्रात्रा विष्णुना वासवं यथा। आलिखन्तमिवाकाशमवष्टभ्य महद्धनुः॥ पद्मपत्रविशालाक्षं दीर्घबाहुमरिंदमम्।
