48 passagesस बाणवर्षं तु ववर्ष तीव्रं रामानुजः कार्मुकसम्प्रयुक्तम्। क्षुरार्धचन्द्रोत्तमकर्णिभल्लैः शरांश्च चिच्छेद न चुक्षुभे च॥ १०१॥
He indeed rained down a fierce shower of arrows, discharged from the bow. But Rāma’s younger brother cut those arrows apart with razor-headed, half-moon, excellent karṇi, and bhalla arrows, and he was not shaken.
स बाणजालान्यपि तानि तानि मोघानि पश्यंस्त्रिदशारिराजः। विसिस्मिये लक्ष्मणलाघवेन पुनश्च बाणान् निशितान् मुमोच॥ १०२॥
Seeing those various nets of arrows rendered futile, the king of the enemies of the gods marvelled at Lakshmana’s skill and again released sharp arrows.
स लक्ष्मणश्चापि शिताञ् शिताग्रान् महेन्द्रतुल्योऽशनिभीमवेगान्। संधाय चापे ज्वलनप्रकाशान् ससर्ज रक्षोधिपतेर्वधाय॥ १०३॥
And that Lakṣmaṇa too, equal to great Indra, fitted to his bow sharp arrows with sharp points, having a terrible speed like a thunderbolt, blazing like fire, and let them fly for the slaying of the lord of the rākṣasas.
स तान् प्रचिच्छेद हि राक्षसेन्द्रः शिताञ् शराल्ँ लक्ष्मणमाजघान। शरेण कालाग्निसमप्रभेण स्वयंभुदत्तेन ललाटदेशे॥ १०४॥
The king of the rakshasas indeed cut those arrows and struck Lakshmana with sharp arrows. With an arrow as radiant as the fire of cosmic time, given by the Self-born, he struck him in the forehead. The transmitted form शराल्ँ is understood in context as śarān, ‘arrows,’ though its exact written form is irregular.
स लक्ष्मणो रावणसायकार्त- श्चचाल चापं शिथिलं प्रगृह्य। पुनश्च संज्ञां प्रतिलभ्य कृच्छ्रा- च्चिच्छेद चापं त्रिदशेन्द्रशत्रोः॥ १०५॥
That Lakṣmaṇa, afflicted by Rāvaṇa’s arrows, reeled, grasping his slackened bow. Then again, after regaining consciousness with difficulty, he cut the bow of the enemy of the lord of the gods.
