एकोऽयं राक्षसेन्द्रस्य परायणमवस्थितः। एतच्छेषं बलं तस्य किं तिष्ठत हरीश्वराः॥ तस्मिंश्च निहते पापे राक्षसे रणमूर्धनि। रावणं वर्जयित्वा तु शेषमस्य बलं हतम्॥
eko'yaṃ rākṣasendrasya parāyaṇamavasthitaḥ| etaccheṣaṃ balaṃ tasya kiṃ tiṣṭhata harīśvarāḥ|| tasmiṃśca nihate pāpe rākṣase raṇamūrdhani| rāvaṇaṃ varjayitvā tu śeṣamasya balaṃ hatam||
English Meaning
This one that stay (in the field) is the sole and mighty support of the Raksasa-chief; and this is his remaining force. Why then do the monkeychiefs remain inactive? On this wicked Rāksasa being slain on the edge of battle, the remnant of his army, with the single exception of Rāvawa, is destroyed.
