Sanskrit Original
यज्ञे च मारीचम इषुपाताहतं दूरं चिक्षेप सुबाहुप्रमुखांश च क्षयम अनयत। दर्शनमात्रेणैवाहल्याम अपापां चकार। जनकगृहे च माहेश्वरं चापम अनायासेनैव बभञ्ज। सीतां च अयोनिजां जनकराजतनयां वीर्यशुल्कां लेभे।।
yajñe ca mārīcam iṣupātāhataṃ dūraṃ cikṣepa subāhupramukhāṃś ca kṣayam anayat| darśanamātreṇaivāhalyām apāpāṃ cakāra| janakagṛhe ca māheśvaraṃ cāpam anāyāsenaiva babhañja| sītāṃ ca ayonijāṃ janakarājatanayāṃ vīryaśulkāṃ lebhe||
In the sacrifice, he hurled Mārīca, who was struck by an arrow from afar, and he caused the destruction of the prominent ones like Subāhu. By merely seeing, he made Ahalyā, who was sinless, pure again. In Janaka's house, he effortlessly broke the bow of Maheśvara and obtained Sītā, the daughter of Janaka, who was born from the earth and was of great valor.
