तमवज्ञाय तु हतं शत्रुघ्नं भुवि पातितम्। रक्षो लब्धान्तरमपि न विवेश स्वमालयम्॥ नापि शूलं प्रजग्राह तं दृष्ट्वा भुवि पातितम्। ततो हत इति ज्ञात्वा तान्भक्षान्समुदावहत्॥
tamavajñāya tu hataṃ śatrughnaṃ bhuvi pātitam| rakṣo labdhāntaramapi na viveśa svamālayam|| nāpi śūlaṃ prajagrāha taṃ dṛṣṭvā bhuvi pātitam| tato hata iti jñātvā tānbhakṣānsamudāvahat||
English Meaning
There upon considering Śatrughna slain the night-ranger did not enter his house albeit he got the opportunity; and moreover beholding him fallen and destroyed he did not take up his dart. He then began to carry his collected food.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
