TRANSLATION

While wandering in the forest, where He accepted a life of hard-
ship, carrying His invincible bow and arrows in His hand, Lord
Ramacandra deformed Ravana’s sister, who was polluted with lusty
desires, by cutting off her nose and ears. He also killed her four-
teen thousand Raksasa friends, headed by Khara, Trisira and
Dasana.
