आदाय मेध्यं त्वरितं बुभुक्षितौ वासाय काले ययतुर्वनस्पतिम्॥

tau tatra hatvā caturo mahā-mṛgān

Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa killed four types of great beasts there: wild boars, wild deer, dappled gazelles and great rurus.1 Upon becoming hungry, They then quickly collected fruits and roots fit for ascetics under disciplinary vows.2 In the evening They reached a tree under which to reside [with Sītā-devī].3


1 There indicates that when Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa walked through the forest, They came across these vio lent beasts and were obliged to kill them. 

2 Technical note: medhyam vratibhir bhoktavyaṁ phalādikam ity arthaḥ.

3 It appears that Sītā-devī was waiting for Them under that tree.
