| a2 | Strength, too, will be to the damage of the beings in [case of] a lack of wisdom. |
| a2+ | Just like, once, Daśagrīva, king of the Rākṣasas, when he saw the town Laṅkā compassed by the Rāma-army, speaks, having gathered his brothers, ministers (and generals(?)): |
| a4 | How should one act? This human, Rāma, son of king Daśaratha has for the sake of Sītā crossed (the great ocean(?)) and compassed our town Laṅkā. |
| a5 | What should now be done with respect to him? |
| a5+ | Thereupon (Daśagrīva’s brother, Vibhīṣaṇa,) says to Daśagriva so that all hear [it]: |
| a6 | || In the Ṣ.-tune: || |
| a6+ | (For) the damage(?) |
| b1 | But if (Rāma) can go [away] of his own accord, glad after reaching his object ... to [his] own damage |
| b2 | From where does this knowledge come, which [leads] to the destruction of oneself? |
| b2+ | || Having heard that because of his lack of wisdom Daśagrīva was very wroth. From his [throne]-seat he tore a (foot(?) of) beryl, and having thrown it in the face of Vibhīṣana, he says: |
| b4+ | Give thou this one to Rāma, will you, whose praise you speak here before me, |
| b5 | because I will never give Sītā to Rāma. |
| b5+ | Whoever of you [pl.] is fearing Rāma, I don’t fear him. |
| b6 | || Thereupon Vibhīṣaṇa merely shook(?) his head, [and] wiping the blood away he rose from the gathering, [his] hea(d) |
