भयं त्यजत भद्रं वो हितार्थं युधि रावणम्। सपुत्रपौत्रं सामात्यं समन्त्रिज्ञातिबान्धवम्॥ हत्वा क्रूरं दुराधर्ष देवर्षीणां भयावहम्। दशवर्षसहस्राणि दशवर्षशतानि च॥
bhayaṃ tyajata bhadraṃ vo hitārthaṃ yudhi rāvaṇam| saputrapautraṃ sāmātyaṃ samantrijñātibāndhavam|| hatvā krūraṃ durādharṣa devarṣīṇāṃ bhayāvaham| daśavarṣasahasrāṇi daśavarṣaśatāni ca||
English Meaning
Do you renounce fear! For your behoof, slaying in battle the wily and irrepressible Răvaņa, dreadful to the saints and the celestials, together with his sons, and grandsons, and friends, and counsellors, and relatives, and acquaintances, I will abide among mortals, ruling this earth for ten thousand and as many hundred years.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
