English Meaning
The high-souled Varuņa himself offered two terrible-looking bows of ethereal temper, two sets of weapons at the great sacrifice of the royal Janaka, namely, impenetrable mail, two quivers, two inexhaustible arrows, two swords burnished with gold and bright as the sun. These things were offered to me as bridal presents, and I have kept them at the house of my preceptor. Do you, O Lakşmaņa, paying homage to my preceptor, taking all those weapons, swiftly bring them hither. Determined upon going to the forest, Lakşmaņa, taking leave of his friends, went to the abode of the spiritual preceptor of the Ikşvākus and took from him those excellent weapons.
