Canto 3 -
Araṇya-kāṇḍa
Chapter 51: Jaṭāyu Fights with Rāvaṇa
Text 3.51.37
स परिष्वज्य वैदेहीं वामेनाङ्केन रावणः।
तलेनाभिजघानाशु जटायुं क्रोधमूर्च्छितः॥
sa pariṣvajya vaidehīṁ vāmenāṅkena rāvaṇaḥ
talenābhijaghānāśu jaṭāyuṁ krodha-mūrcchitaḥ
saḥ pariṣvajya = holding tightly; vaidehīm = Vaidehī; vāmena = on his left; aṅkena = lap; rāvaṇaḥ = Rāvaṇa; talena = with his palm; abhijaghāna = struck; āśu = quickly; jaṭāyum = Jaṭāyu; krodha-mūrcchitaḥ = in mindless rage.
Holding Vaidehī tightly on his left lap, Rāvaṇa quickly struck Jaṭāyu with his palm in mindless rage.1
1 Rāvaṇa held on to Vaidehī in fear that she might escape otherwise. Technical note: pariṣvajya palāyana-bhiyā gṛhītvā.
