O Raghava, no person comes to grief

who recites this (hymn) when he is in

YUDDHAKANDA
 

 
पूजयस्वैनमेकाम्ग्रो देवदेवं जगत्पतिम् ।

एतत् त्रिगुणितं जप्त्वा युद्धेषु विजयिष्यसि ॥
 

Worship with concentration this god of

gods, the lord of the world. By repeating

this hymn thrice, you will obtain victory

in battles.
 

 
अस्मिन् क्षणे महाबाहो रावणं त्वं वधिष्यसि ॥
 

O mighty-armed one, in this very

moment you will kill Ravana."
 

 
एवमुत्तवा तदाऽगस्त्यो जगाम च यथागतम् ॥
 

Speaking thus, Agastya then went as

he came.
 

 
एतच्छ्रुत्वा महातेजा नष्टशोकोऽभवत्तदा ।
