Sanskrit Original
गहि भूमि पार् यो लात मार् यो बालिसुत प्रभु पहिं गयो। संभारि उठि दसकंठ घोर कठोर रव गर्जत भयो।। करि दाप चाप चढ़ाइ दस संधानि सर बहु बरषई। किए सकल भट घायल भयाकुल देखि निज बल हरषई।।
gahi bhūmi pār yō lāta mār yō bālisuta prabhu pahiṃ gayō. saṃbhāri uṭhi dasakaṃṭha ghōra kaṭhōra rava garjata bhayō.. kari dāpa cāpa caḍhaāi dasa saṃdhāni sara bahu baraṣaī. kiē sakala bhaṭa ghāyala bhayākula dēkhi nija bala haraṣaī..
Having seized Ravana and thrown him to the ground, Vali's son (Angada) gave him a kick and then rejoined his lord. The ten-headed monster, on recovering himself, rose again and roared terribly in a shrill voice. Proudly drawing the string of all his ten bows he fitted a dart to each and rained a flight of arrows, wounding all the warriors in the enemy's ranks to their utter dismay and confusion; and rejoiced to see his own might.
