Thereupon, Kākutstha with heart overflowing with delight, said,-So be it! And those weapons were furnished with celestial and shining persons, and endowed with visible shapes, and capable of conferring happiness. And some of them were like (live) coals; and some comparable to smoke; and some were like to the Sun or the Moon. And with folded hands, they spoke to Rāma in honied accents; O chief of men, here we are! Do you command as to what we are to do on your behalf.
बाढमित्येव काकुत्स्थः प्रहष्टेनान्तरात्मना । दिव्यभास्वरदेहाश्च मूर्तिमन्तः सुखप्रदाः॥ केचिदङ्गारसदृशाः केचित् धूमोपमास्तथा। चन्द्रार्कसदृशाः केचित् प्रह्वाञ्जलिपुटास्तथा॥ रामं प्राञ्जलयो भूत्वाब्रुवन् मधुरभाषिणः। इमे स्म नरशार्दूल शाधि किं करवाम ते॥
