yathā tatraiva [bāla-rāmāyaṇe] pañcamāṅke [5.74 padyād anantaraṃ] (praviśya apaṭīkṣepeṇa chinna-nāmā kṛtāvaguṇṭhanā) śūrpaṇakhā (sākrandaṃ pādayor nipatya)-ajja ekka-mādua pekkha takkhaa-cūḍāmaṇī uppāḍido | baḍavāṇala-jālā-kalāpaaṃ ghuṃtalidaṃ | dasakaṇṭha-kaniṭṭha-bahiṇie accāhidaṃ | [ārya eka-mātṛka prekṣasva takṣaka-cūḍāmaṇir utpāṭitaḥ | baḍavānala-jvālā-kalāpakaṃ cūrṇitam | daśakaṇṭha-kaniṣṭha-bhaginyā atyāhitam |] ity upakramya,

As right there [in the Bālarāmāyaṇa], in the fifth act [after verse 5.74], (entering with a toss of the curtain, having her nose cut off, her face veiled) Śūrpaṇakhā (wailing, falling at his feet): “Noble brother of the same mother, look!

rāvaṇaḥ (prakāśam)-tataḥ kiṃ tasyāḥ ?

śūrpaṇakhā-sāpi laṃkessarassa samucidatti abaharaṃtī tehiṃ kābālia-bbada-joggā kidaṃhi | [sāpi laṅkeśvarasya samuciteti vyavaharantī taiḥ kāpālika-vrata-yogyā kṛtāsmi |]

Śūrpaṇakhā: “She too, crying out ‘I am worthy of the Lord of Laṅkā!’, was made by them fit for the vow of a Kāpālika.”

3.119.p5

ity antena aṅkānta-gata-bhāgena sakala-devatā-tejas tiraskaraṇa-rāvaṇātiśaya-varṇanā-garbhīkṛtasya rāmotsāhasya śūrpaṇakhā-karṇa-nāsā-nikṛntana-rūpeṇa samudbhedād ākṣepaḥ |

ending with this, by this portion at the end of the act, because Rāma's heroic energy—which was enveloped within the description of Rāvaṇa's superiority that eclipsed the splendor of all deities—breaks forth in the form of cutting off Śūrpaṇakhā's ears and nose, it constitutes ākṣepa.
