क्व गतो लप्स्यसे शर्म मम भर्तुर्महात्मनः। निमेषान्तरमात्रेण बिना भ्रातरमाहवे॥ राक्षसा निहता येन सहस्राणि चतुर्दश। कथं स राघवो वीरः सर्वास्त्रकुशलो बली॥
kva gato lapsyase śarma mama bharturmahātmanaḥ| nimeṣāntaramātreṇa binā bhrātaramāhave|| rākṣasā nihatā yena sahasrāṇi caturdaśa| kathaṃ sa rāghavo vīraḥ sarvāstrakuśalo balī||
English Meaning
Having done this foul turn to that high-souled one, repairing whither, shall you obtain respite? Shall not that strong and heroic Rāghava, skilled in all weapons, who without his brother, in the twinkling of an eye, in battle slew fourteen thousand Rākṣasas, slay you, who carries away his beloved wife?
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
