हयाश्च मे संगृहीतास्तया वै महानद्या संयति कौरवेन्द्र । पादौ जनन्याः प्रतिपूज्य चाहं तथार्ष्टिषेणं रथमभ्यरोहम्॥५-१८३-१६॥
And my horses were gathered up by that great river in the midst of the engagement, O lord of the Kauravas. Having duly honored my mother’s feet, I then mounted the chariot yoked with those horses.
english translation
ररक्ष सा मम रथं हयांश्चोपस्कराणि च । तामहं प्राञ्जलिर्भूत्वा पुनरेव व्यसर्जयम्॥५-१८३-१७॥
She safeguarded my chariot, the horses, and the equipment. Having saluted her with joined hands, I then released her again.

ततोऽहं स्वयमुद्यम्य हयांस्तान्वातरंहसः । अयुध्यं जामदग्न्येन निवृत्तेऽहनि भारत॥५-१८३-१८॥
Then, having myself harnessed those swift horses, I engaged in combat with Jāmadagnya after the day’s pause, O Bhārata.
english translation
ततोऽहं भरतश्रेष्ठ वेगवन्तं महाबलम् । अमुञ्चं समरे बाणं रामाय हृदयच्छिदम्॥५-१८३-१९॥
Then, O best of the Bharatas, in the engagement I released a swift, highly forceful arrow at Rāma—one described as heart-piercing.
english translation
ततो जगाम वसुधां बाणवेगप्रपीडितः । जानुभ्यां धनुरुत्सृज्य रामो मोहवशं गतः॥५-१८३-२०॥
Thereupon, pressured by the arrow’s momentum, Rāma fell to the ground; dropping his bow, he entered a state of disorientation.
