Sanskrit: अहं तु वधमिच्छामि शीघ्रमस्य दुरात्मनः। यावदस्तं न यात्येष कृतकर्मा दिवाकरः॥
English: I wish the speedy destruction of this impious one, ere the maker of day, having performed his work, has ascended the Setting-hill.
Sanskrit: यदि वधमिच्छसि रावणस्य संख्ये यदि च कृतां हि तवेच्छसि प्रतिज्ञाम्। यदि तव राजसुताभिलाष आर्य कुरु च वचो मम शीघ्रमद्य वीर॥
English: If you wish to slay Råvaņa in battle, if your desire to recover the princess, then, O noble one, O hero, today speedily set about what I say.
Sanskrit: लक्ष्मणेन तु तद्वाक्यमुक्तं श्रुत्वा स राघवः। संदधे परवीरघ्नो धनुरादाय वीर्यवान्॥ रावणाय शरान्घोरान्विससर्ज चमूमुखे। अथान्यं रथमास्थाय रावणो राक्षसाधिपः॥ अभ्यधावत काकुत्स्थं स्वर्भानुरिव भास्करम्।
English: Hearing the words uttered by Lakşmaņa, that slayer of hostile heroes-Raghava-endued with prowess, taking his bow, set shafts on it, and in the brunt of battle began to discharge dreadful arrows at Ravana. And mounted on another car, Rāvana-lord of Rakşasas-rushed against Käkutstha, even as Svarbhānu rush against the Sun.
