ब्राह्मणोऽसीति पूज्यो मे विश्वामित्रकृतेन च। तस्माच्छक्को न ते राम मोक्तुं प्राणहरं शरम्॥
brāhmaṇo'sīti pūjyo me viśvāmitrakṛtena ca| tasmācchakko na te rāma moktuṃ prāṇaharaṃ śaram||
English Meaning
You are a Brāhmana and through Viśvāmitra, art worthy of my homage. Therefore it is, o Rāma, that I can not let go this life-destroying shaft.
