Sanskrit: तां तु भिन्नां शिलां दृष्ट्वा सुग्रीवः क्रोधमुर्छितः। सालमुत्पाट्य चिक्षेप तं स चिच्छेद नैकधा॥ शरैश्च विददारैनं शूरः परबलार्दनः। स ददर्श ततः क्रुद्धः परिषं पतितं भुवि॥
English: Beholding that crag thus severed, Sugrīva was beside himself with ire; and uplifting a Sála tree hurled it; and the heroic Räkşasa the slayer of enemy's force, severed it into several pieces with his arrows. Thereupon excited with wrath he saw a parigha on the ground.
Sanskrit: आविध्य तु स तं दीप्तं परिघं तस्य दर्शयन्। परिघेणोग्रवेगेन जघानास्य हयोचमान्॥ तस्माद्धतहयाद्वीरः सोऽवप्लुत्य महारथात्। गदां जग्राह संकृद्धो राक्षसोऽथ महोदरः॥
