Having ordered his brother thus, Rama
the delight of the Raghus, with buckled
swords and taking his bow, hastened
where the deer was.
दर्शनादर्शनेनैव सोऽपाकर्षत राघवम् ।
सुदूरमा
Maricha who had become a deer, drew
away Raghava a long distance from his
hermitage by appearing and disappearing.
दृष्ट्वा रामो महातेजास्तं हन्तुं कृतनिश्चयः ।
मुमोच ज्वलितं दीप्तमस्रं ब्रह्मविनिर्मितम् ॥
Rama of great effulgence, seeing this
and making up his mind to kill it, let
loose the bright and flaming Brahma-
astra.
तालमात्रमथाप्लुत्य न्यपतत् स शरातुरः ॥
Pierced by the arrow and leaping up as
high as a tala tree, Maricha fell down
म्रियमाणस्तु मारीचश्चकार च ततः स्वरम् ।
सदृशं राघवस्यैव हा सीते लक्ष्मणेति च ॥
●
Maricha, dying, cried out in a voice
resembling that of Raghava.
