यस्माद्वानररूपं मामवज्ञाय दशानन। अशनीपातसंकाशमपहासं प्रमुक्तवान्॥ तस्मान्मवीर्यसंयुक्ता मद्रूपसमतेजसः। उत्पत्स्यन्ति वधार्थ हि कुलस्य तव वानराः॥
yasmādvānararūpaṃ māmavajñāya daśānana| aśanīpātasaṃkāśamapahāsaṃ pramuktavān|| tasmānmavīryasaṃyuktā madrūpasamatejasaḥ| utpatsyanti vadhārtha hi kulasya tava vānarāḥ||
English Meaning
“As O Daśānana, deriding me for my monkery-form, you have indulged in a laughter resembling the bursting of thunder, do monkeys endowed with prowess, and possessed of my form and energy shall be born for compassing the destruction of your race.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
