THE RAMAYANA
उद्धन्वाना रजो घोरं ताटका राघवा
अभिदुद्राव काकुत्स्थं लक्ष्मणं च विनेदुषी ।
Contemplating that sound, beside herself
with anger, and kicking up a terrible dust,
Tataka marched against Rama and Laksh-
mana, making a terrific yell.
तामापतन्तीं वेगेन विक्रान्तामशनीमिव ।
शरेणोरसि विव्याध सा पपात ममार च ॥
He (Rama) pierced in the chest Tataka,
who was coming against him with great
who was coming against him with great
speed like a well-thrown thunder. She fell
down and died.
ततो मुनिवरः प्रीत
प्रविशन्नाश्रमपदं व्यरोचत महामुनिः ॥
The Visvamitra, the foremost and best of
ascetics, delighted and pleased with the
killing of Tataka, shone resplendently as he
entered the hermitage grounds.
प्रविवेश ततो दीक्षां नियतो नियतेन्द्रियः ॥
