ततः सिंहासनं हित्वा मेरुकूटमिवांशुमान्॥ पश्यतो मे तदा राम विमानादवरुह्य च। तं शवं भक्षयामास स स्वर्गी रघुनन्दन॥
tataḥ siṃhāsanaṃ hitvā merukūṭamivāṃśumān|| paśyato me tadā rāma vimānādavaruhya ca| taṃ śavaṃ bhakṣayāmāsa sa svargī raghunandana||
English Meaning
O Rāma, the foremost of Raghu's race, like to the moon renouncing the summit of the Sumeru mount that celestial wight got down from his seat in the car and engaged in devouring the dead body.
