tataḥ śareṇābhihato rāmeṇa raṇakarkaśaḥ
papāta sahasā vālī nikṛtta iva pādapaḥ

sa bhūmau nyastasarvāṅgas taptakāñcanabhūṣaṇaḥ
apatad devarājasya muktaraśmir iva dhvajaḥ

tasmin nipatite bhūmau haryṛṣāṇāṃ gaṇeśvare
naṣṭacandram iva vyoma na vyarājata bhūtalam

bhūmau nipatitasyāpi tasya dehaṃ mahātmanaḥ
