āśramādrākṣasendreṇa rāvaṇena vihāyasā |
māyāmāsthāya tarasā hatvā gṛdhraṃ jaṭāyuṣam || 2 ||
"Markandeya said, 'O bull of the Bharata race, even Rama suffered unparalleled misery, for the evil-minded Ravana, king of the Rakshasas, having recourse to deceit and overpowering the vulture Jatayu, forcibly carried away his wife Sita from his asylum in the woods. Indeed, Rama, with the help of Sugriva, brought her back, constructing a bridge across the sea, and consuming Lanka with his keen-edged arrows.'
