तदा कुशिकपुत्रं तु धनुष्पाणी स्वलंकृतौ। बद्धगोधाङ्गलित्राणौ खङ्गवन्तौ महाद्युती॥ कुमारौ चारुवपुषौ भ्रातरौ रामलक्ष्मणौ। अनुयातौ श्रिया दीप्तौ शोभयेतामनिन्दितौ॥ स्थाणुं देवमिवाचिन्त्यं कुमाराविव पावकी।
tadā kuśikaputraṃ tu dhanuṣpāṇī svalaṃkṛtau| baddhagodhāṅgalitrāṇau khaṅgavantau mahādyutī|| kumārau cāruvapuṣau bhrātarau rāmalakṣmaṇau| anuyātau śriyā dīptau śobhayetāmaninditau|| sthāṇuṃ devamivācintyaṃ kumārāviva pāvakī|
English Meaning
Those effulgent ones of faultless limbs went in the wake of the ascetic, illumining him with their grace. And like to those sons of him Skandha and Višākha following the incomprehensible deity, Sthāņu, those youthful brothers of comely persons and faultless limbs Rāma and Lakşmana, highly effulgent, carrying bows in hand, adorned with ornaments, and equipped with scimitars, with their fingers encased in Guana skin, flamingly followed Kusika's son, beautifying him with their splendour.
