स वक्षसि पपातोग्रः शरो व्याल इव श्वसन् । महीं राजंस्ततश्चाहमगच्छं रुधिराविलः॥५-१८५-११॥

That fierce arrow fell upon my chest, hissing as it were like a serpent; and then, O king, I went down to the ground, covered in blood.

अवाप्य तु पुनः संज्ञां जामदग्न्याय धीमते । प्राहिण्वं विमलां शक्तिं ज्वलन्तीमशनीमिव॥५-१८५-१२॥

Regaining consciousness, she hurled toward the wise Jāmadagnya a pure, radiant spear-weapon, blazing like a lightning bolt.

सा तस्य द्विजमुख्यस्य निपपात भुजान्तरे । विह्वलश्चाभवद्राजन्वेपथुश्चैनमाविशत्॥५-१८५-१३॥

That weapon struck the arm-region of the foremost of Brahmins; he grew unsteady, O King, and trembling seized him.

Then his Brahmin companion, a great ascetic, embraced him and—being unwounded—consoled him in many ways with auspicious words.

समाश्वस्तस्तदा रामः क्रोधामर्षसमन्वितः । प्रादुश्चक्रे तदा ब्राह्मं परमास्त्रं महाव्रतः॥५-१८५-१५॥

When Rāma regained composure, yet was filled with anger and indignation, that great-vowed one manifested the supreme Brahma-weapon.
