ततस्ते मृदिताः सर्वे मम बाणाः सुसंशिताः । रामबाणैर्द्विधा छिन्नाः शतशोऽथ महाहवे॥५-१८१-२१॥
Then all my well-honed arrows were blunted and split in two by Rāma’s shafts—by the hundreds—in that great engagement.
english translation
ततः पुनः शरं दीप्तं सुप्रभं कालसंमितम् । असृजं जामदग्न्याय रामायाहं जिघांसया॥५-१८१-२२॥
Then again I discharged a blazing, brilliantly radiant arrow—its force as though measured by Time itself—toward Rāma Jāmadagnya, intent on subduing him.
english translation
तेन त्वभिहतो गाढं बाणच्छेदवशं गतः । मुमोह सहसा रामो भूमौ च निपपात ह॥५-१८१-२३॥
Struck firmly by it and brought under the arrow’s crushing impact, Rāma suddenly grew disoriented and fell to the ground.
english translation
ततो हाहाकृतं सर्वं रामे भूतलमाश्रिते । जगद्भारत संविग्नं यथार्कपतनेऽभवत्॥५-१८१-२४॥
Then an outcry rose everywhere when Rāma lay upon the earth; the whole world, O Bhārata, was shaken with alarm, as though the sun had fallen.
english translation
तत एनं सुसंविग्नाः सर्व एवाभिदुद्रुवुः । तपोधनास्ते सहसा काश्या च भृगुनन्दनम्॥५-१८१-२५॥
Then all of them, deeply alarmed, rushed toward him at once—those ascetics rich in austerity, and the Kāśyas as well—toward the Bhṛgu-descendant.
