The Pastimes of Lord Rāmacandra
53
āropita-bhrū-vijṛmbha —by flickering of His raised eyebrows in anger;  trasta —fearing;  abdhiḥ —the ocean;  baddha-setuḥ —one who constructed a bridge over the ocean;  khala-dava-dahanaḥ —killer of envious persons like Rāvaṇa, like a fire devouring a forest;  kosala-indraḥ —the King of Ayodhyā;  avatāt —be pleased to protect;  naḥ —us.
TRANSLATION
To keep the promise of His father intact, Lord Rāmacandra immediately gave up the position of king and, accompanied by His wife, mother Sitā, wandered from one forest to another on His lotus feet, which were so delicate that they were unable to bear even the touch of Sitā's palms. The Lord was also accompanied by Hanumān [or by another monkey, Sugriva], king of the monkeys, and by His own younger brother Lord Lakṣmaṇa, both of whom gave Him relief from the fatigue of wandering in the forest. Having cut off the nose and ears of Śūrpaṇakhā, thus disfiguring her, the Lord was separated from mother Sitā. He therefore became angry, moving His eyebrows and thus frightening the ocean, who then allowed the Lord to construct a bridge to cross the ocean. Subsequently, the Lord entered the kingdom of Rāvaṇa to kill him, like a fire devouring a forest. May that Supreme Lord, Rāmacandra, give us all protection.
