I crushed his car and royal shade,

And putting forth my warlike might

Hurled Rávaṇ to the earth in fight.

Here, Ráma, lies his broken bow,

Here lie the arrows of the foe.

There on the ground before thee are

The fragments of his battle car.

There bleeds the driver whom my wings

Beat down with ceaseless buffetings.

When toil my aged strength subdued,
