English: And next to him is the hero of dark-blue hue, having eyes like lotuses, the Atiratha among the Ikswakus-of prowess celebrated in the world-in whom virtue never waver and who never swerve from righteousness; who know the Brāhma Mantra and the Vedas, the best of those versed in them—who pierce the sky with his shaft and cleave the Earth, whose ire is like death, and whose prowess is like that of Sakra, whose wife, Sītā, has been carried away by you from Janasthāna. And this is Rāma, who, O king, advance to encounter you in conflict.
Sanskrit: यस्यैष दक्षिणे पार्श्वे शुद्धजाम्बूनदप्रभः। विशालक्षास्ताम्राक्षो नीलकुश्चितमूर्धजः॥ एषो हि लक्ष्मणो नाम भ्रातुः प्रियहिते रतः। नये युद्धे च कुशलः सर्वशस्त्रभृतां वरः॥ अमर्षी दुर्जयो जेता विक्रान्तश्च जयी बली। रामस्य दक्षिणो बाहुनित्यं प्राणो बहिश्चरः॥ नह्येष राघरस्यार्थे जीवितं परिरक्षति। एषैवाशंसते युद्धे निहन्तुं सर्वराक्षसान्॥
English: On his right side is one of the splendour of pure gold, broad breasted, having dark curied hair-this one is named Laksmana, ever mindful of his brother's welfare. He is versed in polity as well as warfare-the foremost of those learned in all the branches of knowledge; wrathful, invincible, victorious, powerful, conquering and strong, the right arm of Rāma and his own life going about. For Rāghava he care not for his life. He hope to exterminate all the Rākşasas in battle.
