 तदन्तरमहं लब्ध्वा शक्रहन्तारमाहवे।अभिदं सप्तधा देवि तन्मे त्वं क्षन्तुमर्हसि।। 
 "I have seized the opportunity and severed into seven pieces the foetus who would have been a slayer of Indra. O Devi shoudnt you forgive me"?     Thus ends the fortysixth sarga of Balakanda of the holy Ramayana the first epic composed by sage Valmiki.
