ऐषीकं निहतं दृष्ट्वा कुमारो रावणात्मजः। याम्येनास्त्रेण संकुद्धो योजयामास सायकम्॥ ततस्तदत्रं चिक्षेप लक्ष्मणाय निशाचरः। वायव्येन तदत्रेण निजघान स लक्ष्मणः॥
aiṣīkaṃ nihataṃ dṛṣṭvā kumāro rāvaṇātmajaḥ| yāmyenāstreṇa saṃkuddho yojayāmāsa sāyakam|| tatastadatraṃ cikṣepa lakṣmaṇāya niśācaraḥ| vāyavyena tadatreṇa nijaghāna sa lakṣmaṇaḥ||
English Meaning
Seeing Aisika baffled, that Prince-son to Rāvana-fired with rage, fixed an arrow on a Yămya' weapon; and then the night-ranger shot that weapon at Lakşmaņa. And Lakşmaņa resisted it by a Vāyavya' weapon. 1. What could this be like? The commentator is silent over this important point. 2. Belonging to the wind-god.
