अथ त्रिवेणुसम्पन्नं कामगं पावकार्चिषम्। मणिसोपानचित्राङ्गं बभञ्ज च महारथम्॥ पूर्णचन्द्रप्रतीकाशं छत्रं च व्यजनैः सह। पातयामास वेगेन ग्राहिभी राक्षसैः सह ॥ सारथेश्चास्य वेगेन तुण्डेन च महच्छिरः। पुनर्व्यपहनच्छ्रीमान् पक्षिराजो महाबलः॥

English Meaning
Next crumbling into pieces with his impetus the mighty chariot of Rāvana, coursing at will, flaming like fire having steps studded with jewels, and a wooden pole, and throwing down the umbrella and chowris like to the full moon along with the Rākşasas engaged in carrying them, the effulgent and mighty lord of birds shattered the head of the charioteer with the strokes of his beak.
