Oh Lord ! Upholding Thy father's word, Thou, carrying the bow Kodanda, went alongwith Lakshmana, to guard the noble sacrifice of sage Viswamitra. The sage taughtThee two mantras Bala and Atibala to remove Thy fatigue. At the sage's behest, Thou tore apart thedemoness Tataka with arrows for the protection of the people. Having acquired fromthe sage, the host of divine missiles, Thou reached Siddhasrama, the hermitage of the sage.
