Araṇya-kāṇḍa
Chapter 44: Śrī Rāma Kills Mārīca
Text 3.44.22
मारीचस्यैव मायैषा पूर्वोक्तं लक्ष्मणेन तु।
तत्तथा ह्यभवच्चाद्य मारीचोऽयं मया हतः॥
mārīcasyaiva māyaiṣā pūrvoktaṁ lakṣmaṇena tu
tat tathā hy abhavac cādya mārīco ’yaṁ mayā hataḥ
mārīcasya eva = Mārīca’s; māyā = magic; eṣā = this is; pūrva-uktam = which said; lakṣmaṇena tu = Lakṣmaṇa; tat = that; tathā hi = actually; abhavat ca = has come true; adya = today; mārīcaḥ = Mārīca; ayam = this; mayā = I have; hataḥ = killed.
This is Mārīca’s magic! That which Lakṣmaṇa said has actually come true. I have killed this Mārīca today.
