tau tathā yudhyamānau tu samare rāmarāvaṇau
dadṛśuḥ sarvabhūtāni vismitenāntarātmanā

ardayantau tu samare tayos tau syandanottamau
parasparavadhe yuktau ghorarūpau babhūvatuḥ

maṇḍalāni ca vīthīś ca gatapratyāgatāni ca
darśayantau bahuvidhāṃ sūtau sārathyajāṃ gatim

ardayan rāvaṇaṃ rāmo rāghavaṃ cāpi rāvaṇaḥ
gativegaṃ samāpannau pravartana nivartane

kṣipatoḥ śarajālāni tayos tau syandanottamau
ceratuḥ saṃyugamahīṃ sāsārau jaladāv iva

darśayitvā tadā tau tu gatiṃ bahuvidhāṃ raṇe
