सशल्यस्तां समात्राय लक्ष्मणः परवीरहा ।
विशल्यो विरुजश्शीघ्रम् उदतिष्ठन्महीतलात् ॥
Then the arrow-stricken Lakshmana, the
vanquisher of enemy heroes, smelt it and
stood up from the ground becoming
quickly cured and devoid of pain.
अब्रवीच्च परिष्वज्य सौमित्रिं राघवस्तदा ॥
Embracing Lakshmana, Raghava then
said thus :
दिष्टया त्वां वीर पश्यामि मरणात् पुनरागतम् ।
को हि मे विजयेनार्थस्त्वयि पञ्चत्वमागते ॥
"O hero, indeed, it is through good
fortune that I see you again returned from
death. For, of what use is victory to me
when you are dead ?"
इत्येवं वदतस्तस्य राघवस्य महात्मनः ।
खिन्नशिशथिलया वाचा लक्ष्मणो वाक्यमंत्रवीर ॥
To the high-souled Raghava who spoke
to him thus, the distressed Lakshmana
said this in broken speech:
नैराश्यमुपगन्तुं ते तदलं मत्कृतेऽनघ ।
वधेन रावणस्याद्य प्रतिज्ञामनुपालय ॥
