Sanskrit Original
धाए बिसाल कराल मर्कट भालु काल समान ते। मानहुँ सपच्छ उड़ाहिं भूधर बृंद नाना बान ते।। नख दसन सैल महाद्रुमायुध सबल संक न मानहीं। जय राम रावन मत्त गज मृगराज सुजसु बखानहीं।।
dhāē bisāla karāla markaṭa bhālu kāla samāna tē. mānahu sapaccha uḍaāhiṃ bhūdhara bṛṃda nānā bāna tē.. nakha dasana saila mahādrumāyudha sabala saṃka na mānahīṃ. jaya rāma rāvana matta gaja mṛgarāja sujasu bakhānahīṃ..
The gigantic monkeys and bears, who were terrible as death, rushed forward like hosts of winged mountains of diverse colour. With claws and teeth, rocks and huge trees for their weapons they were all very powerful and knew no fear. They shouted "Glory to Sri Rama, a veritable lion for the wild elephant in the shape of Ravana" and sang His praises.
