मां प्राप्य हि गुणो दोषः संवृत्तः पश्य लक्ष्मण। अद्यैव सर्वभूतानां रक्षसामभवाय च॥ संहत्यैव शशिज्योत्स्नां महान् सूर्य इवोदितः। संहत्यैव गुणान् सर्वान् मम तेजः प्रकाशते॥
māṃ prāpya hi guṇo doṣaḥ saṃvṛttaḥ paśya lakṣmaṇa| adyaiva sarvabhūtānāṃ rakṣasāmabhavāya ca|| saṃhatyaiva śaśijyotsnāṃ mahān sūrya ivoditaḥ| saṃhatyaiva guṇān sarvān mama tejaḥ prakāśate||
English Meaning
Observe, O Laksmana, obtaining me as the stay these accomplishments have been turned into so many blemishes. Truly shall my prowess manifest itself to-day overshadowing all my other accomplishments for the destruction of the Rākşasas and all created beings like to the rising of the Sun casting the Moon into shade on the day of dissolution.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
