यदेतद्राक्षसानीकं मेघश्याम विलोक्यते। एतदायोध्यतां शीघ्रं कपिभिश्च शिलायुधैः॥ तस्यानीकस्य महतो भेदने यत लक्ष्मण। राक्षसेन्द्रसुतोऽप्यत्र भिन्ने दृश्यो भविष्यति॥

English Meaning
Do you without delay bring on an engagement between this cloud-black Räksasa army, which you behold, and the monkeys having rocks for their arms. O Lakşmaņa, do you exert yourself to break through his* mighty-army; and when the ranks are broken, the son of the Rákşasa-lord shall be visible. * Indrajit's, that is.
