Being beside himself, simultaneously with wrath and grief Rāvana* spoke to Makarāksa, Kahara's son, having spacious eyes, saying, O child, do you proceed at my command with the army and destroy Rāghava and Laksmana with all the monkeys. *Nairta is another name of Ravana.
नैर्ऋतः क्रोधशोकाभ्यां द्वाभ्यां तु परिमूर्च्छितः। खरपुत्रं विशालाक्षं मकराक्षमचोदयत्॥ गच्छ पुत्र मयाज्ञप्तो बलेनाभिसमन्वितः। राघवं लक्ष्मणं चैव जहि तौ सवनौकसौ॥
