विश्वामित्राध्वरे येन मारीचाद्या निशाचराः ।
पश्यतो लक्ष्मणस्यैव हता नैरृतपुङ्गवाः ॥ ५ ॥
visvamitra-adhvare-in the sacrificial arena of the great sage Visvamitra; yena-by whom (Lord Ramacandra); marica-adyah-headed by Marica; nisa-carah-the uncivilized persons wandering at night in the darkness of ignorance; pasyatah laksmanasya-being seen by Laksmana; eva-indeed; hatah-were killed; nairrta-puṅgavah-the great chiefs of the Raksasas.
In the arena of the sacrifice performed by Visvamitra, Lord Ramacandra, the King of Ayodhya, killed many demons, Raksasas and uncivilized men who wandered at night in the mode of darkness. May Lord Ramacandra, who killed these demons in the presence of Laksmana, be kind enough to give us protection.
