SUNDARAKANDA
 
तावुभौ वेगसंपन्नौ रणकर्मबिविशारदौ ।

सर्वभूतमनोग्राहि चक्रतुर्युद्वमुत्तमम् ॥
 

Those two, possessed of speed, well-

versed in the art of warfare, fought

excellently to the joy of all beings.
 

 
ततः पैतामहं वीरः सोऽस्त्रमस्त्र विदां वरः ।

संदधे सुमहातेजास्तं हरिप्रवरं प्रति ॥

Then the heroic Indrajit, the foremost

of those well-versed in archery and pos-

sessed of exceedingly great effulgence,

let loose the arrow of Brahma against

Hanuman, the foremost of monkeys.
 

 
तेन बद्धस्ततोऽस्त्रेण राक्षसेन स वानरः ।

अभवन्निर्विचेष्टश्च पपात च महीतले ॥
 

Then the monkey Hanuman, being

bound by that arrow of the Rakshasa,

became still and fell down on the earth.
 

 
तं मत्तमिव मातङ्गं बद्धं कपिवरोत्तमम् ।

राक्षसा राक्षसेन्द्राय रावणाय न्यवेदयन् ॥
 

The Rakshasas informed Ravana the

lord of the Rakshasas that the foremost

of monkeys had been bound like an

intoxicated elephant.
