रामस्य धनुषः शब्दं श्रोष्यसि त्वं महास्वनम्। शतक्रतुविसृष्टस्य निर्घोषमशनेरिव॥ इह शीघ्रं सुपर्वाणो ज्वलितास्या इवोरगाः। इषवो निपतिष्यन्ति रामलक्ष्मणलक्षिताः॥
rāmasya dhanuṣaḥ śabdaṃ śroṣyasi tvaṃ mahāsvanam| śatakratuvisṛṣṭasya nirghoṣamaśaneriva|| iha śīghraṃ suparvāṇo jvalitāsyā ivoragāḥ| iṣavo nipatiṣyanti rāmalakṣmaṇalakṣitāḥ||
English Meaning
You shall hear the terrible sound of the twang of Rāma's bow, like to the sound of the thunderbolt hurled by Indra. Soon shall arrows, bearing the names of Rāma and Lakşmaņa and having fiery heads like those of snakes, alight here.
