If you have any kindness for me as well as those sons of Rākşasas* and, O ranger of night, if you have strength and energy to cope with Rāma, do you kill this thorn of the Rákşasas, who has set up his dwelling in the forest of Dandaka. Another reading is that enemy of mine.
मयि ते यद्यनुक्रोशो यदि रक्षःसु तेषु च। रामेण यदि शक्तिस्ते तेजो वास्ति निशाचर॥ दण्डकारण्यनिलयं जहि राक्षसकण्टकम्।
