ततो मामपयातं वै भृशं विद्धमचेतसम् । रामस्यानुचरा हृष्टाः सर्वे दृष्ट्वा प्रचुक्रुशुः । अकृतव्रणप्रभृतयः काशिकन्या च भारत॥५-१८१-१६॥
Then, as I was being withdrawn—severely struck and insensible—Rāma’s attendants, all delighted at the sight, raised loud cries; among them were Akṛtavraṇa and others, and the princess of Kāśī as well, O Bhārata.
english translation
ततस्तु लब्धसंज्ञोऽहं ज्ञात्वा सूतमथाब्रुवम् । याहि सूत यतो रामः सज्जोऽहं गतवेदनः॥५-१८१-१७॥
But then, having regained consciousness and recognizing the charioteer, I said: ‘Go, charioteer, to where Rāma is; I am ready, and my pain has subsided.’
english translation
ततो मामवहत्सूतो हयैः परमशोभितैः । नृत्यद्भिरिव कौरव्य मारुतप्रतिमैर्गतौ॥५-१८१-१८॥
Then the charioteer carried me with excellently adorned horses—moving like dancers, O Kauravya—swift as the wind in their pace.
english translation
ततोऽहं राममासाद्य बाणजालेन कौरव । अवाकिरं सुसंरब्धः संरब्धं विजिगीषया॥५-१८१-१९॥
Then I approached Rāma, O Kaurava, and covered him with a dense volley of arrows, driven by fierce resolve and a steadfast will to prevail.
english translation
तानापतत एवासौ रामो बाणानजिह्मगान् । बाणैरेवाच्छिनत्तूर्णमेकैकं त्रिभिराहवे॥५-१८१-२०॥
As those arrows rushed in, Rāma loosed straight-flying shafts and swiftly severed each incoming missile in the fray—each one with three arrows.
