तथा ब्रुवति रामे तु जामदग्नये प्रतापवान्। रामो दाशरथि श्श्रीमान् चिक्षेप शरमुत्तमम्।
Meaning
As Parashurama spoke thus, the glorious Rama, son of Dasaratha, discharged that excellent arrow.
स हतान् दृश्य रामेण स्वांल्लोकांस्तपसार्जितान्। जामदग्न्यो जगामाशु महेन्द्रं पर्वतोत्तमम्।
Meaning
Seeing the worlds he had won by his asceticism struck down by Rama, the son of Jamadagni went at once to Mahendra, best of mountains.
ततो वितिमिरास्सर्वा दिशश्चोपदिशस्तथा। सुरा स्सर्षिगणा रामं प्रशशंसुरुदायुधम्।
Meaning
Then all directions and their intermediate points grew clear of darkness, and the gods and sages praised Rama as he stood there still holding the bow.
रामं दाशरथिं रामो जामदग्न्यः प्रशस्य च। ततः प्रदक्षिणीकृत्य जगाम आत्मगतिं प्रभुः
Meaning
Then that able one, Rama of Jamadagni, having praised Rama of Dasaratha and circumambulated him, went his own way into oblivion.
