Re: [INDOLOGY] {भारतीयविद्वत्परिषत्} Continuing Rāvaṇa fest

[Madhav Deshpande]

Let me correct the last line of my verse:

“साध्वीं मामपहृत्य दण्डकवनात् पापं कृतं रेऽधम

तस्मात्त्वं पतितोऽसि, याहि नरकं“ सीताब्रवीद्रावणम् ।

तज्जानन्नपि जानकीसुवचनं रामो रणे पातयन्

लङ्काधीशमरावपि श्रितकृपस्तस्मै ददौ स्वर्गतिम् ।।
