Valmiki Ramayana — Bala Kanda

Verse 76.7

इमां वा त्वद्गतिं राम तपोबलसमर्जितान्। लोकानप्रतिमान् वापि हनिष्यामीति मे मतिः॥ न ह्ययं वैष्णवो दिव्यः शरः परपुरंजयः। मोघः पतति वीर्येण बलदर्पविनाशनः॥

imāṃ vā tvadgatiṃ rāma tapobalasamarjitān| lokānapratimān vāpi haniṣyāmīti me matiḥ|| na hyayaṃ vaiṣṇavo divyaḥ śaraḥ parapuraṃjayaḥ| moghaḥ patati vīryeṇa baladarpavināśanaḥ||

English Meaning

Which of these shall I reduce to aught, O Rama, Your aerial course, or the merit you have attained through your asceticism of ascending to certain incomparable regions. This wonderful arrow of ours sprung from Vişnu, capable of conquering hostile towns, never hit fruitless, with energy destroying the pride of prowess of foes.

M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
