Ah! today how shall feeble forlorn one that has been borne down by the force of the mean, abject and grim-visaged (Ravana), fierce yet wearing (at the time of the rape), a dress tending to inspire confidence, come in my sight?
क्षुद्रेण हीनेन नृशंसमूर्तिना सुदारुणालंकृतवेषधारिणा। बलाभिभूता ह्यबला तपस्विनी कथं नु मे दृष्टिपथेऽद्य सा भवेत्॥
